I know this is a stretch, but he already has artist Jerry VanderStelt on board and some of his artwork is awesome!
The new movie is coming out in 2015. The one problem with my theory is, it would need to get into planning stages like NOW!
I think it could be a huge title if done right. No offence to the Stern people here, but I hope if it does happen, Jersey Jack gets it and not Stern.
Check out some of Jerry's work:

Part of me hopes JJP does Star Wars, and the other part doesn't, because I would have to buy it, and I really can't afford another $8K pin. 
I think they would do an amazing job on it, and the LCD would open up a whole new dimension.

You would have plenty of time to save up for it
I would love a new Star Wars pin, but it would depend on who is the game's designer more than the manufacturer.
For example; If the new Stern Star Trek was instead themed as Star Wars, it would be getting a ton more buzz and units sold. It would also be nice to have a LCD screen instead of a DMD.
Quoted from BestShot31:It would also be nice to have a LCD screen instead of a DMD.
Definatly!
When I made my comment about Jersey Jack making it instead of Stern, it was directed at the fact Jerry VanderStelt could do the art work and the LCD display could be used in such fantastic ways.
Not that Stern couldnt release a game with a LCD display though.
Now that I think about this, waiting until the movie is 90% shot would work better anyways, because at least then footage from Episode 7 could be incorportated. And as the new movies come out, you put them in the updates! Now thats making use of an update!
So it makes me wonder if footage from this latest Hobbit movie will be in the next JJP machine. If so you have to imagine JJP was under contract not to reveal anything.
Does anyone into Hobbit know if the artwork that was just released shows anything of the new movie, or is it generic "Hobbit"?
Quoted from musketd:Stern will have LCD by then
Maybe Stern should just stick with DMD. Unless they come up with hi-res color dmd's that fit that same footprint and not go full screen LCD monitor like Jersey Jack.
At least that would keep it true to the look and feel. 
Star Wars comes out December 2015, 1 year after Hobbit. I have to imagine it is not sustainable for JJP to produce games so infrequently and they need to get a lot more product out the door. I hope JJP3 is well under development already for mid 2015 release.
Quoted from winslow:JJP # 3 is Harry Potter. The deal is done.
I'd like to see JJP do Star Wars too. But it would have to be #4.
If that's true that is weak...really weak. That train left the station already and is not a great choice IMO. I'll likely be out on that one unless the layout and code are awesome.
I wouldn't want a full screen for a Star Wars pin....give me good gameplay and a killer sound system, not foo-foo graphics. I'd be happy if both Stern and JJP got onboard with a ColorDMD sized display which is enough to do some cool stuff but not over the top....and it allows a backglass above.
Harry Potter would be huge for bringing in a new generation to pinball.....I truly think that is undeniable. Regardless of what company produces that game Harry Potter is a global cultural phenomenon.

Lol where do you guys get this stuff.

At this rate NIB will be 9k.

Unfortunately Star Wars is one of the very few themes I would dish out big bucks for 
Quoted from Max_Badazz:Unfortunately Star Wars is one of the very few themes I would dish out big bucks for
I think JJP or Stern is aware of this and will likely gouge us pretty hard for this title. I'm betting there will be plenty here that will trample over you to pay 10k for a LE version.
I thought Jack said at one point that only new themes and ones from IP's that have not been done previously. But if this ever were the case then I would buy Star Wars for sure. Harry Potter I wouldn't mind, even though the movie is long done. My wife is a Potter fan. It would have to be a pretty deep pin to cover even just a little from each book.
I really hope this is true.
I own a bunch of Stern games and I really like the designers and software guys that they have but I'm tired of the way the company interacts with its fanbase. It's completely archaic.
I would love to get a JJP Star Wars game into my lineup.
I recall Automated accepting preorders for a Stern Star Wars a month or two ago.
Wish I screenshot it
Anyway whoever makes it I'm excited to see the finished product. Not preordering shit however. Both companies have zero credibility in terms of code & timeframes
Quoted from bigdaddy07:I think JJP or Stern is aware of this and will likely gouge us pretty hard for this title. I'm betting there will be plenty here that will trample over you to pay 10k for a LE version.
I wouldn't take that bet. $10K is just too high for any significant volume.
I think Disney would charge a fortune for the rights. One reason why The Pinball Arcade will never digitize, Star Wars or Indiana Jones or anything owned by Disney (as stated on FB due to Disney asking too much money for the rights) granted a digital remake vs an original pin are different. I do hope they make one, as well really hope Disney rocks it. I may be a hardcore Trekkie, but still love Star Wars "3 Classics" and hope I love the Disney Reboot and any SW pins in our future.
I'd like to see Star Wars too. The theme alone will sell a ton.
Now if someone could just make a decent Star Wars machine, we'd be getting somewhere. Manufacturers are really 0 fer 3 in my book.
It'd probably be the only pin I'd wish for an LCD on. Not a fan of the first one's implementation.

I couldn't agree more. I used to have the SWep1 kit and could not put RFM back in fast enough.

Given that plenty of Disney pinballs already exist I doubt that's actually a hurdle. Tron, POTC, Iron Man, Avengers, X-Men, all Disney properties.

True, I think its more of an issue for smaller companies like Pinball Arcade for example. Granted digital reproduction vs original are two completely different things.
If they are going to make a new pin, I think it would truly be a hit as long as it was based on the original 3 films and not the newer films.
Quoted from ulmpharmd:If they are going to make a new pin, I think it would truly be a hit as long as it was based on the original 3 films and not the newer films.
We could only wish, but sadly I doubt that will happen. Will be Disney SW or nothing at this point.

I would be surprised to see them go with a tiny LCD...
I also dont think full-size LCD OR a backglass have to be mutually exclusive.
perhaps a neat alternative would be a low-power mode where the pinball machine MOSTLY goes to sleep, but the display changes to "backglass-mode" only. This could be pretty cool in that it could be change-able, changing, etc.
Quoted from zucot:I would love to get a JJP Star Wars game into my lineup.
A+ hope this is true would be a KILLER theme for JJP!
I heard from a very reliable source that the next JJP pin after Hobbit would be a music licensed game.
Specifically
Grateful Dead
With dancing bears and Casey Jones Train that crashed into the playfield...
This is a done deal!

Its a few years out, start saving now and cha ching!
I honestly really like the DE star wars and only played with new code once. SWep1 was a tank of a dumb game. Would love to get this if knocks it outta the park!
Lets just get woz finished and hope hobbit comes out without any hiccups. In a few years a lot can happen. Who knows maybe only stern will be left by then as the market over saturates and dies

.
I guess it's actually either 0 fer 4 or 1 fer 4 with regards to SW pins that have been made
When Jack spoke at TPF in '12 I though he said the 3rd machine was going to be an original theme? This was before they announced what the 2nd machine was even going to be.

Unfortunately, Lucas is 0 for 3 on his last SW movies as well
As a big SW fan, I'm hoping for a turnaround from Disney.... maybe Peter Jackson will need money again by then
Quoted from homebrood:I heard from a very reliable source that the next JJP pin after Hobbit would be a music licensed game.
Maybe they will alternate target audiences back and forth as well...
So, a music themed JJP pin? .....hmmm....... perhaps Liberace?

What? LOL. ep 1 was bad, but 2 and 3 were fine. get over it.
