JJP appeased the "hardcore" enthusiasts with Lawler and DI...to survive in today's market they need recognizable and licensed themes. POTC fits the bill

Quoted from Rarehero:I actually hope the toys aren't like WOZ. I'm over plastic sculpts that spin or move up and down but don't really DO anything. I want to see interesting mechanical devices that you interact with or affect shot paths.
Like the lazy Susan in BM66?
Quoted from RichieWrench:if I am correct it is three hours before.....its at 5:00 for the CE Owners and distributer and special guest or whom ever they invite. I am going to preshow and pretty excited to see the game
We'll be expecting you to spill the beans here first then!!
Quoted from TigerLaw:This is what happens when you take a chance on new young talent with a vision. Game looks incredible. Congrats JJP. Totally raising the bar.
And a company that is willing to support him!!
Quoted from sevenrites:They help randomize different things so there's more options and variety available in the gameplay. Some things were "plunder an opponents ball" and different scoring multiplier combos, etc. So instead of 1 disc landing on something, it's a combination of where all 3 discs land to get the end result.
Are there shots or standup targets to hit to get them to randomize?
Quoted from PanzerFreak:I understand your points but the issue here is that unlike Dialed In POTC is a licensed theme and people want to hear and see things actually used in the license. I love Ghostbusters but if it didn't have the actors voices in the game I wouldn't be a buyer. Same with Hobbit and others. Original audio and video assets from a licensed theme help immerse the player in that world.
Example: Lets say theres a battle Dave Jones mode. The mode would have more of an impact on the player if it contains some video and lines from the character. For licensed material that will usually be the case versus not using the assets.
With that being said I'm looking forward to seeing all the creative things that the JJP team comes up with for this game. I'm glad to hear that JJP got one of the film's actors to record a ton of custom lines including those that are pinball specific.
How many actor voices are in Stern Star Wars?
It's kind of bugging me that JJP is calling the LE version a Limited Edition. I know that sounds silly, but it's not limited. More of like a Stern Premium which they will make as many as the market bares....just sayin.
