https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sexd06I8mzg - from the Adam Savage’s Tested YouTube channel.

The blurb:-
“One of the many surprises in Star Wars: The Force Awakens that delighted fans was the appearance of the Dejarik holochess game on the Millennium Falcon. Adam Savage went behind-the-scenes at Tippett Studio to watch Phil Tippett and his team create the stop-motion animation sequence, and learns a secret about how this cameo connects to the original Star Wars!”

Behind-the-Scenes: Making the Stop-Motion Puppets for Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0kac3ZFkkw&t - from the Adam Savage’s Tested YouTube channel.

The blurb:-
“The Holochess animation Easter egg in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was truly a labor of love, and the team who made it used a variety of interesting technologies to create it. This week, we return to Tippett Studio to chat with this sequence’s art director, visual effects supervisor, armaturist, and head puppet fabricator (our very own Frank Ippolito!) about the fabrication of these stop-motion puppets!”
