Quoted from iceman44:

When the JJP defenders that can only see it ONE way shout out the better "value" comparison, they give little to no "value" to theme, X factor immersion fun (think the Williams SW music score playing) and the other Intangibles that go into a pinball machine like future resale value, a biggie.

How do you put a value on what is the X FACTOR FUN FACTOR to each individual? What' the BOM on hearing the SW score and seeing video clips, rules integration and IMMERSION on one of the most iconic film series ever?
X factor immersion matters a lot, a huge part of the BOM for me and most people that buy pinball machines.

You are of course correct, for some people that is true.

For others, theme is not as important as the interactive toys, a packed world under glass and how well a theme is implemented.

For some, BOM vs price is a factor, others couldn't care less.

Nobody is wrong and nobody needs to be chastised for where they place their value.

Each manufacturer only needs to put out a machine that appeals to enough people to stay in business and hopefully be profitable.

Quoted from Hazoff:

What makes it inferior? I've played both and SW is way more my style and I'm not talking theme either, they are very different and shouldn't be compared, whats next next IM or TZ? I'll take IM all day, but thats the type of pin I prefer, would u say IM is inferior to TZ or simply different? If you mention build quality I swear I'll open a vein.

How about the quality?

Quoted from pinnyheadhead:

I think some folks don't like Stern right now and will go out of their way to bring down a dream theme that wasnt a vision of their own. SW was not what I thought it was going to be either. Oh well.
I think if Spooky or JJP came out with the same SW game as Stern Pro and priced it at $5400 delivered people would shit! Folks would rave about it and order it in 2 seconds I bet. No?

I partially disagree. I think if Spooky came out with it in their typical 300 unit production run people would have gone bonkers as it is a step up from what they normally make.

If JJP made it I think they would have been raked over the coals even more than Stern because their customer base expects more from them.

Quoted from superJackpot:

I expected more for this monster theme however, in the end I enjoyed playing SW Pro.

I'm surprised people keep expressing this sentiment.

I did not expect more from Stern's Star Wars precisely because it's such a monster theme. What has Stern done in the recent past to make people believe the opposite other than perhaps GB?

Quoted from Hazoff:

Ok I know theme isn't that important to everyone but its the most important thing for me, it won't save shitty gameplay but its definitely the first piece of the puzzle.

Quoted from Hazoff:

I like DI plays great but the theme kills it for me. SW looks great.

We all have different priorities and you've made it clear what yours are.
