Silly Star Wars Spotlight: The Software Toolworks Star Wars Chess


Back in 1993, Software Toolworks released a Star Wars chess game! Don't let the epic cover art fool you, some parts of it ended up being deeply silly.

For example, you might be wondering, "How can C-3PO defeat Boba Fett?" Well, he takes Fett's blaster and lectures the bounty hunter about how dangerous they can be.

Threepio isn't the only droid stealing people's weapons though, as R2-D2 steals Vader's lightsaber and strikes him down with it.

Some of the animations are less goofy (as you'd expect, Han and Leia are more apt to just blast someone) but the droids really bring an important silliness to the game.

The game I've been playing the most lately is Civilization VII! I know it's been controversial, but I've been enjoying it! #GJAsks

Here’s my Cal Kestis from Jedi Survivor! I've had a lot of fun with the game so far. It builds on Fallen Order in some really fun ways.

Across my life, the answer has been Star Wars: Jedi Outcast / Jedi Academy. Recently, I've been hooked on Civ 7. #GJAsks
