Is it possible Disney would also let JJP make a Star Wars pinball? They license to a bunch of different companies who make basically the same toys, comics, books etc? I'm sure it would not hurt for JJP to inquire? If they did, talk about competition.
Quoted from pinlink:They would definitely do the theme more justice than Stern's sad attempt.
AMEN !!

If they did im guesing it would be long down the road, and no that isn't a shot at their release time. Im sure stern has it built into their agreement that they cant license the theme out to another pinball manufacture for X number of years.
So what you're saying is, JJP should get a license that has already been licensed by someone else in the past, and then make a new game from it? Huh. Interesting idea, that.
Williams made IJ, stern made IJ, same goes with terminator, so i would think anything is possible in the future. Also I wonder if Disney is pleased in the overall look and play of the pin? I know they approve the art, but I wonder if stern gave them basic art without trying to push the issue, I know they probably dont really care about gameplay, but maybe. I'm just saying could you imagine if both made a Star Wars? It would make both companies attempt to out due the other, which would be good for us.
Anybody with even a rudimentary grasp of how licensing works - and from the posts I've seen, they probably aren't here - would understand that this is stern's exclusive license in pinball for some time.
So don't expect it anytime soon.
Depends on when the license expires. Potc was in 2006 and there are rumors of JJP doing it for #4. Basically, the answer is not happening.

Ya I don't know how licensing works, that's why I asked the question. Thanks

I agree in terms of happy action figures and toys with really colorful art but it wouldn't have had the gameplay, and that's where Stern SW shines. JMO 
JJP just put out a really great pinball machine called Dialed In. If the new stern Star Wars isn't your cup of tea and you insist on buying a brand new pinball machine, rignt now, that is a very good option for you.
If you insist on buying only Star Wars pinball machines, there are currently 4 to choose from that aren't too hard to find. If you don't want any of them I don't know what to tell you. There won't be any more coming out any time soon.

point is the game would be better if not amazing
If it happens, it won't happen for years down the line. I bet Stern has exclusive rights to the theme for quite a while. If JJP were ever to make a Star Wars game, I would hope that it would be for the new trilogy, just to mix things up. But I just don't see it happening for a long time.
Quoted from mountaingamer:point is the game would be better if not amazing
It would probably also have zero flow, be based on episodes 1-3 and have jar jar popups on the playfield. See, I can make stuff up too!

Quoted from Gryszzz:"Hmm...you know what this band needs? That singer from Rainbow."
Ritchie Blackmore never knew how good he had it.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Star wars has been made by 4 companies so far....come on lucky number 5!
Somebodies gotta get it right eventually
Quoted from mountaingamer:point is the game would be better if not amazing
That's a really great point.
I actually hope they do just so we can have another 10 threads aboot Star Wars. The main thing, that we get the total number of people that are "Star Wars fans." A rare bunch indeed, but they seem to OK with finally letting the cat out of the bag now. OMG I even heard one guy liked Boba Fett the best!!! tee hee
Goddamn I love Apple Jacks. Ever since I was a kid and I first saw Apple Jacks in the theatre I was blown away; you'd never had cereal like that before. Then growing up they kept making more Apple Jacks and I loved it just as much. Someday when my daughter is old enough we'll enjoy Apple Jacks together.
To sum it up:
Op: Hey guys, I know this is a stupid ?...but man it would be cool!
Levi: Dude..what a stupid question!
Op: wouldn't it be cool though?
Levi: Wow! Really guy?
Op: Ok Levi, we know...you're smarter than the average bear...but can't a guy dream?
Levi: NO!

I don't know the details regarding Stern's deal, but that's what matters--the details. Almost nothing is exclusive anymore, especially with Disney, unless the licensee pays through the nose. The situation may be different in this instance, since these are big-ticket items. But it may not be. My point is, do not assume a deal is exclusive--those days are long gone.
I could see JJP doing it once Episode 9 is released. The game would cover all 9 movies. Keith Johnson then creates the deepest ruleset ever for a pin with 3 modes per film plus 1 mini wizard mode all coming together in the end for the world's greatest super wizard mode

To be fair, he didn't say he knew his question was stupid.

I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES
I'd like to see them take a stab at Wrath of Khan. Not the remake of course.
It's got to have Ricardo Montalban.
You guys shut up. You're depressing me. I'm old enough to understand what the f**k you're both on about.

Thats sound fantastic, I wouldn't mind a pin that utilized all 6 films, I love them all but Khan is the best of the bunch.

I knew you were going to say that...I was just trying to make him look better...
