Combining Legos with the sublime futurism of Star Wars for a game of chess, Hollywood’s Lego fan Brandon Griffith has got us a game of chess in a way too different, even more vivid than the other Star Wars pieces we seen gracing the chess boards previously. The New Hope Lego Chess weighs a whopping 25lbs and for peculiarity has those figures from the Galactic Empire clubbed in couples unlike the single standing pieces that we’ve seen all the way to our youth and till today for that matter. We’ve can't guess what figures have been combined for what piece, but from what we read over from our friends at Makezine - "The king shows Luke and Leia together, while the queen has Han and Chewie. Some of the pieces are tiny vignettes--take the king's bishop, which shows Ben Kenobi turning off the Death Star's tractor beam." Griffith's Fickr set.
