It is what it is. I think this is a great pinball. Unfortunately for Star Wars, it is put on such a high pedestal, people will always want more, and lament at how much better it could've been...4 previous "what-ifs" to prove my point. If Stern supports the code, it could elevate this pin. The other major part of this is the mods. I have complete confidence in the ingenuity of the people creating mods for this pin to put it over the top...some hate mods (even a forum to get rid of them), but the right mods really enhance the experience...something you don't get when playing a game on route.

I get it. People see Stern as jacking prices and cheapening the product. Many businesses do this. If they get out of the sweet spot, they adjust or decrease their base. But the people who are not happy with Stern are over the top. Raw anger and hate. When Stern is named, the venom spewed is really too much. I want to see Stern succeed...just like the other pin makers out there. Constructive criticism is ok, but most of what I see on pinside is not constructive. If you don't like them...don't buy them.

Respect you totally...but Star Wars, for me, is adrenaline...I think Stern got this right. I will admit that I haven't played it yet, but have a premium coming. TSPP is a blast to play, and someday I hope to own one, but Star Wars for me is not slow, and strategic, it's balls-to-the-walls! "You're all clear kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home." BOOM!!!
