Though the big screen adventures set in that galaxy far, far away might be in a moment of pause following the conclusion of the Skywalker saga with Episode IX, Star Wars is with us always, not least because the stories are still continuing on the small screen thanks to The Mandalorian.
And one of the joys of Star Wars, especially for kids, is sparking their imagination by getting to play as their favourite characters. Whether you're pretending to attack the Death Star as Luke Skywalker, run around with Chewie living the Han Solo life or commanding Rebel forces as Leia Organa, there are a universe of opportunities. Even if you dream of being Darth Vader and building your own battle station.
And, naturally, board games are a big part of that – they bring the Star Wars loving family together to compete or collaborate on one side or the other. And there are even chances to play games such as Sabacc that originated in the movies. So we decided to round up 10 examples of fun Star Wars games to match any budget, names that you'll recognise – Monopoly, which always brings out a version of a popular title, to retro titles and the odd obscure pick. Whether you support the Rebel Alliance or have decided that the Dark Side is for you, you'll find something fun to play.
