Star Wars Card Room Name Help (3 Viewers)

I think this would be a lot easier if Star Wars was actually decent source material to work with.

Just some samples I've been working on with an awesome designer. What do you all think?
I think the 3D14 edge gives the set a more "off set", underground, space smuggler/gambler feel. Thoughts?

It seems like you plan to use this set as a tourney and cash set, that creates a security issue, and you shouldn't do it.

I think the 4D14 better. Consider going crazy on the base colors, its SW!

I'm only playing with 6 of my best friends maybe once a month max and I'm the only star wars fan. I have no concern of these coming up missing. Lol, but thanks for the concern. I honestly didn't think about it. I also wanted to keep the colors reflective of more of a calm smuggle gambling sector vibe. A place where low lives or the local daimyo can hang out.
 
Personally, I wouldn't want characters on the chips. It would make them look like souvenir chips. I would want something that looks like it came from the casino you create. Imagine a backstory for the owner of the casino and what his/her personality is like. What type of clientele it's trying to attract, or what power it's trying to not offend. Design a chip as if you're there instead of just adding tropes to the design. The possibilities are endless, so a good question to ask yourself is if there is any time period that most interests you. Original trilogy, prequel trilogy, sequel trilogy, old republic. etc... Then decide light side, dark side, smuggler, scum and villainy, etc... That should help narrow down your options for design choice and. Look to real chips for inspiration. Maybe old nevada chips like the Pioneer with a star wars twist, or Binions, or Star Dust.
What do you think? An upscale cantina chip where smugglers, Daimyos, and wanderers alike are welcome.

I think card room is too Terran, we can do better.

Cartel Exchange
Bounty Exchange
Cartel Cantina
 
I think if I were making a Star Wars set, the first thing I'd try to decide is if my theme will exist inside the Star Wars
universe itself, or if it's a fan tribute set.

If it's to exist in the Star Wars universe, i think @Irish's advice is perfect. Do a deep dive of Star Wars lore and create something believable within that universe. Take some time to think about what a chip label would actually look like in that universe and design from there.

The other option is create a fan service set with all your favorite things from Star Wars ("Lol Imagine playing a tourney with your favorite SW characters like Vader, Lando, Jango Fe...").

Mixing the styles makes no sense to me.

Of course, your money, your chips :cool

Final thought:

I'm thinking of getting rid of the name all together and just stick with a the arubesh style denoms and keep the background flat gray or black. I think a true cartel exchange or cantina chip won't have the fancy naming.
 
How did this end up?!? I’m dying to know!
I actually stuck with my previous notion to drop the name all together. A true underground gambling club wouldn’t have a name in the star wars Galaxy( IMO). But the chips and plaques are stunning. Arubesh font on grey beskar inlay

Even more than the chip itself, I love the font and plaque!!!
