Quoted from marksf123:
I am kind of surprised as Star Wars Premium is one of my favorite games and is the game I play the most right now in my collection. I think it looks pretty sweet too....[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from John_I:
Mine's not going anywhere. Great game with great theme. So many options and modes it just doesn't get old.

Agreed! I almost feel sorry for people who don’t think it’s a good game. It’s a great game! Fast, brutal, challenging, with a ruleset that probably offers the most breadth of any other pin out there.

Quoted from PiperPinball:

Love SW. dream theme. Just could not get into the Sterns SW pin. And no one else could that came over to play it. Brutal gameplay. And fuck that DeathStar ramp shot.

You should give the pro a shot.

Listen, I’ve shared my story a long time ago but I’ll bring it up again. Like you, and many others, I absolutely hated SW as well. But, I did always seem to have more fun on the pro than prem. But still, I just couldn’t get into the game. Then, I started talking with friends and fellow pinsiders who enjoyed the game and understood its ruleset so I got to thinking, maybe just maybe there is something there. So I decided to buy a game I hated, SW PRO, hoping my friends and pinsiders I respected knew something I didn’t. Well, they did. Once you learn the ruleset and shots (like most Pinball’s), it becomes an eye opening fantastic game. The ruleset is unorthodox so it’s hard for many people to grasp the concept. But once you experience it, you’ll see how much breadth and depth there is to the game.

Quoted from RipleYYY:
but the gameplay is very good, including/working very well with the (usual Lonnie) code...

It has probably the worse mini upper pf in Pinball history, Ironhide. And the starscream rotating/toy target, while I like it a lot, is very poorly implemented into the code. So as far as the LE is concerned, TF whiffs hard because of those 2 items. Otherwise, I think it’s a great game and the integration with what they had to work with is top notch. One of the best sound packages too!
