As a Star Wars fan I love this game, as a pinball fanatic it is a bit disappointing.

Artwork is too busy, (no need to have every character from all three films on there) however a bit more interest on the cabinet would not hurt.

Game play: whilst the X wing and cannon turret are great, feels like it was thrown together withought much thought. I agree with other comments that it is a marketing grab for cash type machine.

Without being too negative, I can smash out quite a few games before getting bored with it. And fits nicely between my IJ williams and BTTF. Triple trilogys.

Hold both flipper buttons and fire button when video mode starts for hoops fun with Vader and some Storm Troopers.

Not a bad one, but not a great one.

It's a great fun pinball , I like the cannon reminds me a lot of the batman pinball . I love Star Wars .....

I was really surprised how good this game turned out to be.. Based on ratings I never really looked at it, but when a local one came up for sale, I bought it, shopped it, and have really gotten into it.. Not a deep game, it actually looks simple, but I have yet to complete it.. Sega's do not get much love, but I have actually really enjoyed most of them, looking forward to trying others down the road where I can! Plus it's star wars.. Leia chocking Jabba.. I just find it a real fun game, that you do not have to think about.. just play and enjoy!

A game that beats the Data East version in my opinion. Although it does have the benefit of advances in tech since the last one was made.
The 3d backglass is cool. The music is obviously great.
The best bit about the table though is the multiball start. The cannon grabbing the ball then the x wing firing it at the tie fighter. A great bit of engineering.
Lots of fun to play.

I love this game. I find myself playing it over & over again. So I guess that has to mean something.. ;-)

Star Wars Trilogy suffers from the same lack of development and playtesting that plagues Sega pinball games.

The Pros:
A pretty cool layout with variable opeingings into the tie fighter hole with the drop targets being able to drop/pop as programmed. There are shots to be made on this table. the FORCE- C and E targets in particular require sniper skills. The VUK at is not an easy shot either. I like the x-wing cannon shooting into the tiefighter hole. It makes me say "Stay on target..." The ramp with the diverter in it is nicely done. The X-wing shooter to the Tie Fighter is well done.

The Cons:
The Han/Cartman hole is... I don't know, I have never liked this shot on any Premier/DE/Sega/Stern deck. Let's not forget the rules that make you want to forget that you want to play this game. Star Wars trivia is a nice novelty, that gets old before you know it. The art package is crowded and too busy to to be anything other than a distraction to playing this game. A perfect example of design by a marketing committee.

The Takeaway:
A great game for the Star Wars kids. A real player will not have his interest held for long. It's a shame, really...

Update:

I FINALLY got the chance to play a fully functioning copy of this game and after sessioning it out I felt that.. well... it isn't as bad as I thought it was, but it will never be that good either. There are some shots that I really like quite a bit. The special/bonus x lane in particular is a challenging shot. I also think the Hero Mode shot is a great pf sniper shot. However the rest of the upper PF notably around the pops is not well utilized (is there a skill shot to be had here? I don't know why vader is shaking his head...). So what do i like about this game more than before? Well hitting the strobing tie-fighter standup means that you can skillfully be in multiball in 2 shots after you plunge the first ball. Reminds me of Pinbot and the strobing targets at the visor and to the side. The orbits and the ramp feel really good and smooth. I like the Laser cannon diverter and the x-wing ball cannon shot through the selected drop target space is a challenging way to start multiball. Multiball jackpot is an easy collect. Super Jackpot is not. You have to spell out the F-O-R-C-E targets and THEN get the ball into the tie fighter tunnel past the drops. The trick is these drops start up and will pop back up. You have to trap a ball, knock down a target and either shoot it in from the x-wing or luck it in. Not an easy thing to do so I have to respect it. Especially if you skillfully shoot it in from the x-wing! Hero modes are of varying difficulty and offer some points, but are not all that valuable. Falcon Multiball can be hit over and over and over, but it is not as valuable as tie fighter multiball. Getting the Vader wiz mode is tough because you gotta get the SJ. Those C and E targets are tough to hit!

This game seems to have quite a bit of technical issues. So as you can tell by the update... I really had to quest for a properly working copy. Even then the X-wing diverter and the Han Kicker STILL were not consistent! The force is not strong with this table...hmmm? If this game is working properly, it is a fun table. Best of luck to you your quest to find and play one that does.

Scores changed accordingly.

This is a nice playing pinball, very fast! It has 2 hard shots and the rest are easier. I can play this pinball and enjoy the game flow and not get uptight. It keeps me coming back again and again. In my opinion it does a good job in playing through the Star Wars first 3 movies. I always loved these movies as a kid and still love them today. This is a great pinball to put in your collection.

Fun game. Few hard shots (atleast for me) drop hole for han solo interesting, as i cant hit it ever. but fun game and i put it on my list for the future.

Not being a fan of the theme, this game has a tough time impressing me... not bad to play though, and the DT's make it fun for me, but the theme and music is just too much for me to bear to make me want to play it!

after years of owning this game and updating with color dmd and leds its not really that disappointing its a fun game.

Better than the Data East Star Wars! Which is not saying much :(

What's not to love - it's Star Wars!! The X Wing shot is a great treat and the gameplay is smooth.

Fans of Star Wars will love this game's feel, although it is a bit simple and there aren't a lot of shots. The left ramp is an easy hit and I just found myself hitting it in loops and starting multiball over and over...

Good theme. The Xwing Cannon shot is cool. Decent, fun game but not one of my favorites.
