While you might think that the new Clue: Star Wars Edition board game might have beloved characters trying to figure out who killed who, it's actually more in line with the storyline of the science fiction franchise.
In the board game, players must try to figure out which planet is going to be targeted next by Darth Vader using the Death Star, where the plans for the space station are hidden and which escape pod will lead to safety. Players of Clue: Star Wars Edition work their way through a miniature scale model of the Death Star to figure out the mystery with the original character roster including Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C-3PO all making an appearance.
