Hasbro Star Wars Saga Edition Chess Set

Product Information

Not only does it look great, but the difficulty in purchasing this set when it was released in 1993 makes us want it that much more! With so many movies in its arsenal, the Star Wars franchise has introduced quite a lot of lovable characters over the years.

If you love Queen Amidala and the characters from Star Wars: Episode I, then you had better get the Star Wars Episode I Electronic Galactic Chess Set, because a lot of the characters featured in that set can be really difficult to fine depicted anywhere else? Of all the epic battles between good and evil, light and dark in the Star Wars series, this seems like one of the least cinematic, but it is actually surprisingly fun to play! There’s a detailed drawing of the Death Star on the glass top that will thrill hardcore Star Wars fans, no matter if you support the light side or the dark side of the force.Hasbro is one of the biggest board game manufacturers in the world, making the set relatively inexpensive and easy to find. Because the chess pieces in The Star Wars Chess Game are so detailed and true to their character models, it can be difficult to know at first glance which piece is which. The board is slightly too small for the chess pieces, and you’ll have to take care when moving them around.

With the new series of movies that have come out recently, there is a renewed interest in the Star Wars series- not that interest ever waned that much since the original premiere!

If you saw this set in person, you might be so impressed, you'd wonder why it's not in the number one spot? The black and silver plastic game pieces are modeled after the movie characters, as well as their respective attachable bases.

However, if you’re not interested in all those fancy features and are just looking for a simple chess playing experience, or maybe even a decorative display set or collector’s item, you may not want to shell out the big bucks for features you’re never going to use. For instance, the lightsabers are bendable, and you need to be careful when playing that they don’t snap off, leaving your Jedi utterly defenseless.Whether you love the original trilogy or the newer movies, you’ll have more fun playing chess from this Star Wars collection. Different chess sets feature different characters, so that could be one factor that you’ll want to take into consideration when choosing your favorite Star Wars chess set. The solid metal chess pieces have meticulous attention to detail which really brings the characters to life during play. As if the chess pieces aren't mesmerizing enough, the raised chess board with Star Wars detailing could push anyone sitting on the fence to a purchasing decision! Especially if your child shows little or no interest in chess, but is an avid fan of Hollywood's most epic space-opera.

The Star Wars chess pieces include beloved characters like Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, C-3PO, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chewbacca, Han Solo, and Darth Vader. A simple dark and silver scheme would have gone a long way to convey better the struggle between the light and dark sides of the Force. Star Wars has been a cultural phenomenon since it first debuted in 1977, but the newest installments bring the enjoyment of a fresh, spoiler-free Star Wars story to a whole new generation. Our next entry in the Star Wars-themed chess sets is aimed at the serious collector that loves the franchise. The futuristic-looking set has many other cool features, like a teaching mode, a mate-in-two problem solving mode, a take back move function, the ability to save your games in the board’s memory, pre-programmed opening strategies, set up positions, and a built-in chess clock.The Star Wars chess pieces in this set are all of your favorites from both the original series and the prequels.
