I was recently lucky enough to acquire a complete set of vintage Star Wars Coca Cola cups from New Zealand/Australia. I've been looking for these for a few years now, ever since fellow spy Buzz told me about his childhood cups, and this set practically fell in my lap.
Using the same artwork as the second series of Coca Cola/7-Eleven cups found in the United States, the international set has several distinct differences from their American counterparts. The cups are shorter, standing only 12cm high. The plastic is much thicker, almost as thick as the popular DEKA cup line. The artwork is much less detailed, using thicker lines, and there is no descriptive text on the back. The bottom of the cups have the text, "Coke Adds Life" embossed on the bottom. There are also only four dfferent cups, whereas the American set had eight. They were reportedly available at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Australia, Georgie Pie in New Zealand, and possibly other restaurants.
