A cooperative board game in which players take the roles of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and/or Leia Organa and attempt to escape from the Death Star by shutting down the tractor beam and getting to the Millennium Falcon without being killed. The game system provides the opposition, in the form of Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, and various hazards. The game system also provides assistance through C-3PO, R2-D2, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. All of the players must reach the Millennium Falcon in order to win. If even just one of the players is captured, the game is over for everyone.
