Quoted from Mfsrc791:

Well look at the dialed in thread and see all positive reviews and then look at the SW threads and see all the negative reviews.
It's pretty clear SW is considered a swing and a miss by most of pinside while di is a home run.

While I am a big fan of DI, I don't think SW is a total dog. That said, my problem with it is more about what wasn't or could have been done with the theme than what was. From the lunch box art work to the empty playfield, there seems to be very little pride and effort put forth to elevate the game given the theme.

I'm a huge Star Wars fan as any but I don't just lap up every product tied into the movies. Such a missed opportunity for greatness.

The Buffalo Pinball Aliens video shows how a theme should be integrated into a pinball machine. I don't love the playfield on that game either to be honest, but the artwork, lighting, sound and overrall software package are integrated extremely well. Given the choice it would be a no brainer. Alien in a heartbeat!
