Quoted from luvthatapex2:Even with a manual, why would anyone buy this? Does it fit some specific market that a PRO doesn't fit (besides being cheaper since it lacks somethings on the PRO).
There is a large market of older generation that want a game for fun and grandkids but have zero idea about pinball. I’ve helped 3 people just in my area find a game that would fit their needs. These home versions are a much better fit than older games prone to need work after I leave

Stern should realize this and price it more accordingly.

I don’t disagree, msrp of 4500 is insane to me but they should of done market research prior to selling. However, you can always lower the price, so if they don’t sell well, drop 500, etc etc.

Well i own a Twilight Zone, an original Attack from Mars, a Funhouse, and a Dialed In.
(and used to own a Star Wars Pro last year)
Still i bought a Star Wars home edition after watching the Flip n Out stream with George Gomez and also playing it loads at Pinball Expo.
I tell you: it shoots better than the Pro and my 8-year old daughter, along with my friends aho are casual pinball players will love it.

Quoted from UCFKnight71:Does the home edition Star Wars Pin have a metal or plastic lockbar?
I enjoyed playing one at the 2019 Expo and it had a black metal lockbar.

IIRC all home editions have metal lock down bars. honeslty the new home pins feel like a normal pinball.
Quoted from northvibe:IIRC all home editions have metal lock down bars. honeslty the new home pins feel like a normal pinball.
And yet people still hate them like abnormal pinball!

Thanks! I thought I read that it was plastic. I feel better considering one if it’s metal.

Easy to hate when you never play it or you’re behind a keyboard

Usually a distributor will have one on their showroom floor if you have one of those around you to check out
