I was about to trade my WCS plus cash for a SW comic pro, but today, I got dumped and the Force went with someone trading a POTC, not with me. My son is big on GOTG (maybe a generational difference). I have only played about a game each standing in line at a convention (pre-Covid NWPAS). Now, I am wondering if getting jilted might have been a blessing. From the Pinside comments, GOTG seems to make SW look like a lame imperial stormtrooper. The shaker is no biggie for me. Or am I just thinking of sour grapes? Lots of great ideas on this forum, BTW.

Probably doesn't explain the shaker issue with GOTG, but I put some slider foam+felt pads under my Monster Bash LE legs thinking it would make it easier for me to nudge and protect the floor. This had the unwanted effect of amplifying the shaker effect so much that the glass rattled like it was about to break. Took them out in a hurry. So, the surface beneath the pin can change the shaker effect, too.
BTW, recently got a GOTG pro, I don't miss having a shaker, it plays fast and keeps me on my toes just fine. This is an excellent pin, more challenging than the older pins I am used to playing.
