Star Wars: Escape from the Death Star is a licensed board game published in 1990 by West End Games. Built around the first Star Wars film, it has the heroes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia and Chewbacca trying to find their way through the many sectors of the Death Star and get out of the battle station. The reviewer Richard Ashley wrote about it in Games International magazine and gave it four out of ten, calling it a good try at turning this subject into a solitaire game but a waste of time as a competitive multiplayer game. It is a small, theme driven design that sits among the many Star Wars tabletop products of its era.
