Everyone knows Holochess; the game that taught us to let the Wookiee win. Where does it come from? How do you play it? Does it exist in real life? I answer all of these questions here.

I love Chewbacca’s reaction when Finn accidentally turns the Holochess table on. He’s like “You wanna play!?”😂

[@dancingpuff1497]

They should turn this into a board game, so more people can play this. It's pretty cool

[@大銀河帝国の皇帝]

Over 9000 Stars An App would be cool

[@Hugo-3279]

Haha i had already order one of the creatures of the hologram chess

[@rachelstout6186]

well you'll be happy to know that this year you can buy a Dejarik board at Galaxy's edge... too bad it's stupid expensive.

[@LordoftheBoard]

Tristan Stout it’s 50 dollars. With 8 miniatures and a full wooden board as well as can double up as a game of checkers!

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

Be great on the Nintendo 3DS.

[@irongeneral7861]

Here after Omega played this game in "The Bad Batch"

[@dionr1168]

Droids don't pull the arms out of people's sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.

[@StarGeek]

I suggest a new strategy, Artoo; Let the Wookiee win.

[@vacuumgaze5277]

RAAARGH

[@raptorus7773]

+StarGeek always wanted to know how to play this. thanks!

[@PirateJohnson]

+StarGeek IS there an app version without requiring AR?

[@chewbacca6556]

Its actually very satisfying

[@legend_oflouis9813]

This was very ingesting never seen this been done by a SW KZbinr. That is what I like about you, you make different videos. Good job man.

[@StarGeek]

Thanks so much! I try to keep things different. :D

[@fabianpettersson7587]

Agreed

[@jacenstarhunter8988]

StarGeek: Excellent Job, i really enjoyed this! :-D

[@Darth--Malak]

If you've played Lego Star Wars the Force Awakens they have a level where your playing as the Dejarik monsters on the board, its fun you should get the game if you haven't already

[@twistedyogert]

4:37 *"Hey, your X-wing just killed my Jar-Jar."*

[@justsomeguywithaquestionab3175]

lmaoooo

[@lordnerdyguy]

Earlier in the video I was wondering about the rules of Sabacc. I'd love to see a video covering it.

[@sampsonmiller9658]

Probably the best video you've made. Good job man.

[@eeeddddddiiieee]

one of my favorite scenes from star wars the way the big grey monster comes and just picks up the yellow one and just puts him on the ground just so funny.

[@bonkpole]

This was put together very well, great job StarGeek!

[@StarGeek]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed.

[@starwarsbulgaria7380]

That is what I like about you Star Geek, you make different videos! Amazing video!

[@darthjarjar2721]

I always wanted action figures of the pieces.

[@jorydahungrychubs9325]

Darth Jar Jar They make them.

[@gjp8492]

Great job man! I really enjoy your videos and keep up the good work!

[@gjp8492]

And I would really enjoy the top 50 Prequel Era Characters (if there are 50). Your videos make my day.

[@yeyohf]

We deserve an app for this game!!! It would be very popular!! Great video! May the force be with you!!

[@therealbricker]

Wow, this was surprisingly interesting! Would like to play this game! They should make a board game, so that everyone could purchase it and play.

[@LB-fx9lj]

If Dejarik was real I would want to play it

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

This is what made the original trilogy so great - the little touches like this - the space Chess game.

[@medani98]

Very good explanations, I put it to my readers to show them this if you do not mind. May the Force be with you! :)

[@mikemyers1300]

One of my favorite videos of Star Geek.

[@StarGeek]

Thanks so much, Luis!

[@mikemyers1300]

+StarGeek 😃

[@gideon-abelcole681]

I have always wanted to know how to play this, thank you and keep uploading!

[@StarGeek]

Thanks for watching!

[@lightscameralego950]

+StarGeek Hi Star Geek! (I'm a big fan, but) Where is Nitpicking #3?

[@petersky1594]

Great stuff, bro. Subbed!

[@yashasr4340]

good vid. next top 10 should be top 10 droids but this time specific droids such as r2d2 and c3po

[@classicafl]

You should do a video ranking the Ending Themes played before the credits in each Star Wars movie like the Throne Room, Yub Nub, Confrontation with Count Dooku, Jedi Steps etc.

[@CollectionTHX1138]

Great video! I wonder if you had to put quarters in it. @6:18 Mortal Combat

[@johnblack3204]

You should make a video about Thrawn since he is joining Canon!

[@jalexander9520]

What are the algorithms for kills, counter-kills, pushes, and counter-pushes (based off of defensive and offensive scores)?

[@joeyprice301]

Jonathan Alexander The attackers and defenders have a score for (you guessed it)attack and defense, this number is used to determine how many rolls of the the die you get, then you add how much you got, if the attacker has a number 7 or higher than the defender then its a kill, if its 6 or lower its a push, if the defender has a number 7 or higher than attacker then its a counter kill and if its 6 or lower its a counter push.

[@jalexander9520]

You are my hero.

[@大銀河帝国の皇帝]

Joey Price It sounds like it's very luck based. Still cool though.

[@ryderkreutzer8859]

So happy you can find this on amazon

[@thenexu836]

So even board games are subject to DLC in the future.

[@killergamer526516]

Play as Darth Vader for only an additional $1,138 , this does not including Tax or Shipping & Handling.

[@twistedyogert]

You mean the past.

[@ajzeg01]

Could you do videos on languages too?

[@dawsonbriner8324]

Yaaas

[@ryanbasel3077]

Agreed

[@patricksuiter]

What an interesting topic.

[@weegeeh4ck3r64]

Awesome video

[@WanderFilledWorldofMelee]

Thumbnail got u a sub I always wondered how play this Fire emblem 0”

[@jackharpe3rd233]

For some reasons this chess game reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer 40k, and Battle-Tech Mechwarrior so I wander. Didn't Dungeons and Dragons came out the same year as A New Hope?

[@absurdityis3925]

They should have this game on the falcon at galaxy's edge

[@insertwittynamehere1411]

Great video man!

[@insertwittynamehere1411]

Best Star Wars KZbinr

[@StarGeek]

Thanks so much!

[@LeonLindProductions]

I'm glad you're doing so much Top 10's, Factor Beams and Original videos lately. Does this meean that you're pretty much done with apps and unboxing videos, because I dislike them as much as you xD Of course you have a far larger fanbase now and I understand if they want unboxing videos.

[@elliotearles8302]

I just watched Ep. 7 for the fourth time today.

[@StarGeek]

Perfect for the 4th of July!

[@benjaminkennedy9492]

Oof

[@cjua2803]

thats pretty awesome thaks for that mate

[@thatfunkymonkey7667]

Please please please do the clone wars season 1-2 vs rebels season 1-2 please it will make my day

[@artistpoet5253]

do you have the link to Mike Kelly's rules? and great video. I picked up the GE version and it's a lot of fun, but it definitely feels 'different' somehow to the game seen in episode iv. thanks.

[@favjshmjgfhnjshh2752]

Hey star geek could you do top ten light saber fights or top 50 prequel movie characters

[@1986BNick]

I'm guessing that there is a version where the piece just moves like a regular pawn and knight along with that rook. Only one drop and one strike and it's more of one of those best out of eight or ten. Either way? Even a stripped down to bare minimum version of this game compared to point damage is probably pretty logical.

[@anonymous2ndchannel891]

How do you calculate which piece wins?

[@calebdickerson2003]

I love your channel, keep up the good work, also I know this has nothing to do with the video but do you think you could re upload the top 10 clone wars episodes video it was one of my favorites, also I was wondering if you were doing top 10 moments from episodes 1-3

[@StarGeek]

Thanks so much! I'm planning on completely redoing the Clone Wars episode very soon, so just hold out for a few more videos. :D

[@calebdickerson2003]

Thanks I didn't expect you to respond so fast

[@StarGeek]

+Caleb Dickerson I try to respond as quick as possible!

[@TheCaesarion]

Rest in Piece PETER MAYHEW

[@stretchscreamers]

So sad. Btw it’s peace

[@madeyoureadthis5202]

If you choose to move a piece twice, do you have to move it double as many movement points as it has? Please answer!

[@connorcole6636]

Cool star geek

[@twistedyogert]

Just remember, let the Wooke win and the force will be with you.

[@icynoname5240]

Cool 👍🏼

[@cadenboren2768]

nice vid

[@asdfhjklacew]

This is awesome!! Please do Sabacc :)

[@hemaltailor2102]

can you do a break down with points on attacking and defending ???

[@ethanwelk2736]

You should do a sabacc video. Even though I already know the rules.

[@hemaltailor2102]

in the video the k lor slug has been said to have a movement of 3 and then later said to have a movement of 2 which is it?

[@jesusismegacool]

Have made flash or downloaded fan game I can find besides the VR version

[@davidkatz2760]

I have seen your video where you talk about how much you hate a Han Solo that's not played by Harrison Ford. I agree with that but if I were to make a young Han Solo movie, I would borrow footage from the Original Trilogy and edit it and modify it, like change the location, and hire a professional voice actor for the lines, but also have some lines recorded for the originals by Harrison Ford, and make that all into a movie, that way, the movie can star Harrison Ford. What do you think of that idea?

[@th3blackghost214]

I've seen dejarik in the New Hope and I've never even heard of it 😅

[@lautaro_vidal]

1000th like!

[@hansdietrich83]

how do you calculate what happens on the attack?

[@nicholasjohnson6919]

How do the attacks, counterattacks, pushes and counterpushes happen?

[@ianwalkerz9077]

A Japanese based company called X-Plus is making movie accurate replicas of all of these pieces this year!

[@evrnire8474]

Nice.

[@ohkta]

Sabacc!

[@EliCoolio317]

Could you do Top Ten(Or Top of any number) stupidest lines said in the starwars films

[@bbbbende]

i think most of the lines would be from the scene where Anakin talks about sand

[@soaplegends1813]

could you do top ten best Lightsabers in the saga

[@jackconnell8254]

how do you counter kill

[@jachymr]

Interesting

[@LB-fx9lj]

Can u do some legends Star Geek that would be great

[@lukagrkovic1751]

Please do sabak!!!

[@EjTheRogue]

*Sabacc

[@Friariello91]

Hey! Can you tell me the name of this track? 7:48

[@evanmiller2562]

It's like a cross between top trumps and chess XD

[@madeyoureadthis5202]

I love your videos, please do a sabacc video!

[@christinab9808]

So where can we buy it?

[@bingolos9063]

In Earth we call it Turn Based Strategy Game

[@pigandchickenextraab2590]

Can you do sabakk? This was an interesting video

[@EjTheRogue]

*sabacc

[@pigandchickenextraab2590]

okay :D

[@ryand8548]

Is the app available for iOS or android?

[@soaplegends1813]

and do top ten most wise jedi

[@dannymcneela364]

I play competetive Pazak. If you know what that means, you're my favorite.

[@Joel-wz6ui]

I love playing pazaak

[@theperfectbusiness8903]

i want to play

[@adamthrift2525]

Ya this one isn't a hologram lol ( when the wookie tried to swipe the board)

[@jaypence332]

So it's 2d10 + bonus die + base = results Bonus die is 7-8 base d4 5-6 base d6 3-4 base d8 2 base d10 Attack result minus Defense rolls +7 or more results in kill +6-1 = push 0 = counter push -1 - 6 = counter push -7 or more = counter kill

[@Xian6402]

#Letthewookiewin

[@penguinb.8964]

do how to play sabaac

[@Whoisgonzen]

How do you download the app

[@ty8626]

I think it's for Google cardboard

[@DaMonster]

I think it doesn’t make sense for additional pieces (politicians etc) to have their own ratings because they could be terribly unbalanced - they could be reskins for existing characters

[@michaelharder3055]

ironically the game is already completely unbalanced so of course it makes sense to use lots of additional pieces.

[@maxjones503]

That sounds like it wouldn't last very long (each individual match), just a few minutes if that. I would've thought it lasted as long as chess games, about twenty to forty minutes (i don't actually know exactly how long it takes).

[@mrzumbum5267]

Just out of curiosity do you play swtor

[@brickboss89]

Do star geek factor beame

[@Sziizr]

Do Sabaac

[@Zig242]

I would like sabaac and pazaac

[@mrje6128]

3:25 3PO*

[@coolconnor7235]

Soboc?

[@willcuthbert8317]

This was great! Please do sabacc.

[@StarGeek]

Thanks!

[@kyled3235]

+StarGeek absolutely, This was very interesting, and I'd be interesting to learn about sabacc.

[@thelegendaryhusquin9906]

Can someone PLEASE MAKE THIS AN APP!

[@sigurddaehli]

What happens if a player has a bigger defence then the attacker?

[@StarGeek]

Then they kill the attacker.

[@sigurddaehli]

Ok, thanks man!

[@lucasfluffy9809]

New episode: how to play sabaac

[@EjTheRogue]

*Sabacc

[@tarponpet]

I love how the creatures in it are playable in lego force awakens!

[@theextremeanimator4721]

Dungeons and Dragons?

[@-KEiDON-]

it is almost like magic the gathering
