When I first played Stern's Star Wars, it was a Pro, since the Premium and LE had not come out at the time. I definitely was underwhelmed with the Pro, albeit the code was quite immature at the time time. As a dream theme, I was gutted that I did not connect with Star Wars (Pro).
All changed when someone in my family purchased the Star Wars Premium machine. Playing it at home, I got really into the machine and started to appreciate what Steve, Dwight and team were going for. The Premium machine is an absolute beauty! The rules are deep (which means the machine will have a long lastability in any collection), the toys are cool, especially the hyperloop/hyper drive. The artwork is great and even better with the new Comic Art edition, and of course the integration with music, video and sound from the glorious original trilogy is the icing on the cake.
The game is brutal, but if you play it long enough, you will appreciate it, just like Stern's other brutal game, TWD.

Stern's Star Wars Premium is a great machine (with a great theme), which I hope others that may have dismissed it back in 2017/18 would come back to it and play it / experience it again - I guarantee they will be pleasantly surprised, just like I was.

After playing AMH over 60 times at Flipout 2018, I am hooked! The game doesn't take it self seriously (parody), so it is right up my alley. The shots were true - I pretty much hit everything i was aiming for. Even though peeps complain about the artwork, I like it - it is cheesy, and it is supposed to be like that. It just goes to show that you can not judge a book by its cover - I was a detractor at first, but once i got a lot of games under my belt, I couldn't stop playing it. Would love to own an AMH one day.

AFMR LE with it's awesome interactive topper is the complete package - great (cheesy) theme, great art package and most importantly, a spot on Brian Eddy playfield which keeps you hooked for that 'one more go' feeling.

I am a fan of Pin*Bot and Jack*Bot, but something just doesn't add up with me with The Machine. Don't get me wrong, it is still a good game, but if I was asked to pick one of the three, i'd go with Jack*Bot any day of the week!

What is there not to love about this game. When playing MM, it feels like you don't get cheated and getting into the flow of the game comes easy (which makes it fun for all skill levels), but racking up massive scores will take a bit of mastering - and when you do, it's extremely rewarding. Awesome machine

There is a good reason why this machine is rated so highly, it is pretty much the perfect pinball machine. No matter your skill level, ToM caters for all. This is a timeless classic

I will be biased here as I own this machine. This machine screams all things 80s! The speech is awesome, the visor with eye sockets for multi-ball is brilliant, and the concept of reaching the target planets just makes you pick your shots. The outlanes are brutal, and the game can drain quite easy on either side. This machine is a great example of a mid 80s pinny.

I played TWD Pro even before I got into the TV show and absolutely loved it. Since watching the show, I enjoy this table even more so. Yes, it is brutal and very challenging (with some 'cheap' drains), but this is exactly how a pinball machine should be. My wife loves it just as much, which makes it awesome when playing together. For some reason, I prefer the red cabinet colour/artwork on the Pro than the more expensive variants.
