I played a pro version on location for a couple hours and managed to put up enough points for "grand champion". The whole experience was hollow.

I like the speed and parts of the flow of the game. I was able to maintain long ball times. The hurry up modes we're amusing. That's the extent of anything positive for me.

The bumpers are blocked by the small screen feature. The mode choices don't change the structure of the playfield which seems to be missing any real stand out feature. Nothing moves other than a tie fighter that kind of bobbles. It's almost as stationary as RBION is.

I enjoyed seeing some movie clips but the cranked volume highlighted some really mumbled call outs and if IM is described as stripped down, then this playfield should be termed stark raving nude and about half as fun.

To me, this is a dull game with very dull artwork and would get old very quickly in a small collection. The shots are repetitive and combos , bonuses etc aren't very satisfying to achieve given it's lackluster light, point and sound integration.

I had high hopes for this game and will say most recent Stern's are much more fun including AS, Met, IM, ST, GB, X-Men etc.

On a fun factor level - a little better than Avatar and probably nearing Transformers in my opinion. Sooooo much more creativity could have been used here. I forced myself to stay with it given its repetitiveness but after 2 hours of searching for something to trigger that "just one more game feel", I was more than content to move on.

I feel bad posting this for those waiting for their first NIB pin. If you're a huge fan like me (had all the star wars figures including the mail away Boba Fett) then this game may be a let down. I imagine a lot of these will be hitting the secondary market shortly.

IMO, the super le would need to change multiple elements of this game to be on par from a fun perspective to recent Sterns

I was fortunate enough to have a DI about 4 machines away to compare the two. It was clear where the extra 2500 bucks went. DI just had much more interesting things to do and an excellent light integration. I'm not a jjp fanboy and always preferred Stern.

If there ever was a game primed for a playfield pop up, magnets or centered bash toy, clearly star wars was that game but it seemed like an opportunity was missed sadly.

I don't hate SW pro or GOT pro. I hate Monopoly. I do like SW better than GOT but likely theme has a lot to do with that. Both seem kind of barren. Given the following, both titles could have used more bling but maybe it's a margin issue with Stern.

Lol! Forgot about that one!!!!

What's a "player"? I thought this was a pinball forum. Am I wrong?

What's the difference between a "player" and a "Pinsider" that he's referencing?

Please God tell me there's some criterion used where one ascends to "player" status - roflmao!
I need to see this! "SW is an awesome game but you wouldn't understand....it's a player thing."

Seriously, is it guys who play in tournaments? If so, where can I find footage of these athletes that mere nerds tremble in the presence of?

Well Crazy Levi said he thinks there's only 20 players in here (Pinside). Is there a definition? I'm absolutely not upset but rather completely amused and intrigued.

Certainly the last couple of Stern's have been very polarizing. In my opinion, GB is more enjoyable.

I like turtles.

IM has the monger and a couple magnets which, IMO really increases the fun factor. Star Wars doesn't really have those and any one of those could help it.

I don't know. Ghostbusters is a tough pin I want to play longer. SW has long ball times I feel like walking away from.

1. Players who really like speed and loops might really enjoy this pin.
2. Folks who want to add to a SW theme they have will find SOMETHING they really like.
3. First time NIB owners have nothing to worry about IMO as demand will be around if they ever want to sell. Their family likely will enjoy it. Don't sweat it. My opinion is just that.
4. I don't think code updates will impact players disappointed in the "wow" factor. Sorry
5. Stern makes great games. This one didn't ring MY bell. It might ring yours.

Lastly, I might THINK I'm a Boba Fett, but I probably ACT like an Ithorian and possibly RESEMBLE a Transdoshan.

I did say that yes. I still like GB. I think SW is much faster yet I don't have the desire to play it for just one more game like I do GB

Also, some places charge extra for a swift kick to the Jimmy sack if you're into that sort of thing.
