About this deal

Around 20 BBY, [11] the planet Abafar hosted the Abafar Junior Dejarik Club in the city of Pons Ora. Advertisements for the club strictly prohibited Wookiees from participating, [12] because members of that species were notorious for becoming rather upset upon losing. [5]

At the beginning of the game, both players arranged four pieces each, with pieces on the second, third, fourth, and fifth spaces of their respective half-boards. [3] There existed a version where there were not eight, but ten pieces on the board, however. [4] During the Galactic Civil War, on Jedha, Saw Gerrera's Partisans played dejarik in a hand-carved physical version. [9] Behind the scenes [ ] Invented long before the Clone Wars, [5] dejarik was in fact, like chess and Moebius, a variant of the even more ancient game of Shah-tezh. [10] The same person who created dejarik also created the game saigok, which Kaasha Bateen regarded as a more "badass" version of dejarik. [8]There existed a number of pieces from which the players could choose their four monsters, all of which were full-color holographic projections of creatures both real and mythological from across the galaxy. [5] Available pieces included the Ghhhk, Grimtaash the Molator, the Houjix, the Kintan strider, the K'lor'slug, the Mantellian Savrip, the Monnok, the Ng'ok, [6] the Bulbous, the Scrimp, [7] and the karkath.

Dejarik was portrayed in the first Star Wars film and The Force Awakens with stop-motion animation directed by Phil Tippett. New digitally printed models of the dejarik figures were created for The Force Awakens by scanning the originals.
