"You too can play the space-fantasy Star Wars game Escape From Death Star!" Wasting no time, our Star Wars marketing overlords made sure to release a board game for the '77 holiday season. Point of note: you started in the trash compactor.
Click the vid and beg your folks for one!
I would honestly buy this! I am however a big fan of the original star wars trilogy.. Star Wars Battlefront is a must play for any enthusiast oit there
The Star Wars Epic Duels boardgame is ridiculously fun too (not to mention stupid expensive now that it's been out of print for so long). I'd play Escape From the Death Star with you, @fhs4d. Let's make it happen somehow.
I had a used copy of that game, back in the 80's. Of course, the fact that some pieces were missing and that we couldn't read English at the time didn't deter us from playing over and over.
