Before J.J. Abrams was a twinkle in George Lucas' eye, Star Wars fans had another outlet for the continued adventures of their favorite characters: the tabletop.

An entire line of Star Wars Angry Birds games was launched last year, with six other titles featuring everything from Jabba's Palace to the ice planet Hoth.
