The unexpected success of Star Wars’ theatrical debut in 1977 changed the face of cinema forever. In parts fairy tale, Western and 1930s movie serial, the rousing space opera smashed all box office records, becoming a worldwide popular culture phenomenon and spawning one of the most successful movie franchises of all time.
In collaboration with The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia, Royal Selangor presents an affectionate homage to this milestone in cinematic history.
Iconic characters, representing opposing forces from Star Wars Episodes IV, V and VI, face each other across a chessboard of tempered glass, capped by satin finish pewter feet. The embattled Rebel Alliance faces down their menacing Imperial counterparts as pewter chess pieces, enhanced by sleek bonded porcelain plinths in cool grey and matt black respectively.
