In Episode IV, on the way to Alderaan aboard the Millennium Falcon, we see Chewbacca playing (and losing) a chess-like game with R2-D2. Does this game have a name? Do we know what its rules are?

The name of the game is Dejarik as confirmed both by Wookieepedia and my Haynes Corellian YT-1300 Manual.

I am unaware of any official rules but of course fans have created their own unofficial rules to the game

  • That Haynes guide looks awesome. It doesn't appear technical enough, needs more diagrams and instructions! Jan 12, 2017 at 18:14
