May the Force Be With You: Star Wars Games @ Your Library!

By Vincent Solfronk, Eastwood Branch Library 

To wrap up this summer’s space theme, Eastwood Library has two Star Wars-themed games, Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Wars: Rebellion, both by Fantasy Flight Games.



Star Wars X-Wing is a combat miniature game. In the base game, one player flies the iconic Rebel X-Wing spacecraft, while the other player flies two Imperial TIE fighters. Players choose combat missions and flight maneuvers. They battle it out in space. X-Wing is one of the most popular miniature tournament games in the world. Expansions increase the spaceships and tactics available. If you ever wanted to fly for the Rebellion or the Emperor, this is the game for you!


Star Wars: Rebellion is a grand strategic board game. It is two-player only. One player plays the Rebellion, with their hidden base, trying to gain sympathy and fight for the collapse of the Emperor. The Emperor tries to find the rebel base and destroy any rebel units they can find. The players have the heroes and villains from the movies to try and further their plans. If you want to play a game that acts like the Star Wars universe, this is the game for you!

Check out these games at the Eastwood Library and may the Force be with you!
