The Star Wars Droid Chess Set Pits C-3PO Against R2-D2
Michael Hines — January 10, 2011 — Art & Design
I would be a lot more interested in becoming a chess champion if I could play on the Star Wars Droid Chess Set. This chess set was designed by Rex Abergas and features pieces designed after droids from the Star Wars universe.
The Star Wars Droid Chess Set pits lowly pit droids against badasses like General Grievous and R2-D2. The set is currently just a concept, but here’s hoping that it becomes a reality sometime soon. Calling out, “checkmate” using a battle droid would be too cool.
