Origin and universe of the licence (Lore)

The original Star Wars trilogy began in 1977 with A New Hope, followed by The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It primarily recounts the struggle waged by the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire.

At the heart of this story are Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi and the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, who face off against Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine and the Imperial forces.

The conflict between light and darkness, the Rebellion and the Empire, is one of the saga’s central themes. This opposition lends itself particularly well to the principles of chess, where two sides face off in a strategic battle based on anticipation and positioning.

This chess set thus transposes one of science fiction’s most iconic confrontations into a classic strategy game, bringing together the universe of the original trilogy and the timeless format of chess.
