This guy’s full-sized Star Wars holochess board is an amazing labor of love

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
In Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope, Chewbacca and R2-D2 spend a few minutes playing a game called Dejarik, also known as holochess. (C-3PO advises R2 to “let the Wookiee win,” since Wookiees are notoriously poor losers.)
Ian Martin, a 28-year-old web developer and Star Wars fan from Washington, was so taken with the game of Dejarik that he has spent the last few months building his own board. While the pieces don’t move independently or power slam each other, it still looks like it’s a ton of fun to play.
