As a collectors item, this is a really cool set for a fan of Star Wars and poker... In the set with the display light turned on, it looks really neat. As a poker set though, it's rather poor though. The chips are a very light and transparent though they need to be so the light will shine through them. The chips are like really cheap poker chips so most of the cost for this set is for the light display and the fact that it's a Star Wars collectors item. If you're looking for a poker set though, this isn't it. It only has 200 chips, they're very light weight (a major complaint for an avid poker player), the Luke and Obi-Wan chips are both blue... Usually poker chips, you can tell their value by their color. Here you'd have to go by the insert pictures on the chip... so if you stack them, you can't easily tell what is what.

Since most people looking at this are gonna be more or less, Star Wars fanatics who like poker or something, that stuff isn't gonna matter much since you probably wont play with them and just wanna show it off or something. And I rated the set based on that factor. I didn't give it five stars because I still feel the set is a bit over priced regardless but it is rather cool and for any Star Wars/Poker fan, it's a must have. As an actual poker set to play with, it's an easy 1 star... so if you're looking for a nice poker set and thought a star wars one would be pretty cool, skip it. You can get much nicer poker chips at a lot cheaper prices and feel and stack much better than these.

So yeah, the final verdict:

For the collection of an avid Star Wars fan who also happens to love poker: 4 stars

As an actual poker set: 1 star

The Star Wars Chip set is a great item. The chips are nice and durable. They have the iconic portraits of Yoda, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi on them. When they are in the case and the light is turned on they have a nice glow to them. The dealer button is solid and the image of the Deathstar on it. The playing cards are standard playing cards, nothing special. It doesn't matter anyways as my group and I use professional playing cards. Overall this is a must buy for any Star Wars fan and poker player.
