"Let the Wookiee win." Question about the game they were playing

Does anyone recall the name of that game Chewbacca and Artoo were playing? I'm referencing that game in a story and while I believe I recall that game having been given a name, I do not recall what the name of it is.

 

I believe it was Holo-Chess.

 

I thought it was Dejarik....

 

From the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia:

Dejarik
a holographic game played on a circular board with holographic pieces, dejarik was one of the oldest and most popular games ever created in the galaxy. Chewbacca had a dejarik table on board the Millennium Falcon, and was considered something of a master player. The exact origins of dejarik have been lost in time, and scholars and historians continue to argue over them.

So I'd guess it was in fact dejarik.

 

Yay! I was right!!!

 

Yep, it's Dejarik.

But the prop collectors at MGM studios will tell you Holochess,

 

tomayto, tomahto

 

yeah dejarik. but either way works.

 

Some of the creatures shown in the Dejarik game are real creatures in the GFFA, I've read.
The "Fact Files" had an article about it.

Thanks. I looked there and wasn't able to find it.

 

Dejarik sounds about right
