I am a huge fan of the Star Wars Franchise. That being said I have to admit that I don't like Jar Jar Binks!!!! Ok I had to get that off my chest.
The movies have been around since I was a child. All I have know is that Star Wars is coming out soon. The directors did a great job setting up all of the parts of the movie that would explain this huge universe.
I love the game of chess. I am not a great player by any stretch of the imagination. I can hold my own with a good player. A chess master would clean my clock.
I decided that I would sit down and create my very own wire chess set inspired by the Star Wars movie Franchise.

As you can see in this image I created both the Light side and the Dark side for this set.

Darth Vader |
The Iconic Sith Lord DarthVader is the Queen in the chess set. The Queen is the most powerful piece in the chess set so it had to be Darth Vader.

Boba Fett You gotta love the number one bounty hunter in the Star Wars Universe. |

General Grivious- Rook
General
Grevious was created as a rook. This was a fun piece to create.
|
The
number one team of scoundrels in the Star Wars universe.
Chewbacca
and Han Solo are my Knights for the Light side.
The
Entire Light Side Court
|
This is an image of the entire
Light Side court. I was very happy to create this group. It only took me about
20 hours to paint the wood and build every character for the light side. I was
in geek heaven as I saw the characters come to life.
A
chess set isn't complete without Luke Sky Walker and Obi-Wan Kinobi. they will
be the Bishops in the chess set.
Princess
Leia and Yoda
|
I
made my Queen and King Princess Leia and Yoda because Yoda is the most powerful
Jedi Knight and well Leia is the obvious Queen.
Rebel
Soldiers
|
The
Rebel Soldiers were always going to be my pawns in the set. I didn't worry
about making all of them identical because in real life everyone isn't the same
size so there wasn't the drive to hold that level .
Rebel
Soldiers
This
is a view of the Rebel Soldiers in formation.

The
Storm Troopers were kept simple because it just works. I chose them as my pawns
for the dark side.
This
is the set that I created as it was inspired by the Star Wars movies. All of
these pieces are my version of the characters. I will showcase this set at the
upcoming Comic conventions and Art shows.
Thanks
for reading the post.
I
will see you soon.
