This floating death star has been out for some time now and while maybe not useful for a playfield mod, what about using it as a topper for SW:E1? An LED strip could be added along the top of the game just in front of it to illuminate it (as it rotates) if needed.

I don't get the correlation between Star Wars and martians. Makes me think of putting a Tonka truck on High Speed or a banjo on Metallica. It's just weird. Whatever floats your boat.

That's because I own both Pinball 2000 games and intended to suggest it as a topper for SW:E1 and not for RFM (but I screwed up).

The pin2k backbox isn't level, so from a practical standpoint, I kind of think there might be problems with getting the floating ball effect to work properly. It could probably work for DESW, trilogy, and Stern SW.

Also there's the fact that the Death Star didn't even make a cameo appearance in Episode I (the plans were first shown in Episode II)

Just put it on a shelf on the wall for Pete's sake.

I had thought of using Pop figures similar to what I did with my STTNG. But some are only special issues and are pretty costly. So no topper for SWEp1.

Really awful looking, just dreadful.

Looks like BB Gun target practice.

I didn't know there were toddlers on this site. Might have to be more careful with my language.
