Holodex Articles

Welcome to the Articles Section

This is the editorial hub of the site — a growing archive dedicated to in-universe Star Wars games and gaming culture.

Here, we explore the cards, dice, boards, tables, parlours, dens, and high-stakes salons of the galaxy far, far away. From smoky sabacc pits on the Rim to polished casino decks on Canto Bight, this section dives into the rules, variants, histories, and cultural significance of the games that characters play — and the worlds those games inhabit.

Expect deep dives into sabacc formats, breakdowns of obscure holo-parlour games, lore-informed rule reconstructions, and thoughtful examinations of how gambling, strategy, and chance shape galactic society. We draw from canon, Legends, and carefully reasoned extrapolation to treat these games not merely as props, but as living cultural artefacts within the Star Wars universe.

Whether you are a casual player, a lore enthusiast, or a dedicated sabacc strategist, this archive exists to document, analyse, and celebrate gaming across the galaxy.
