Star Wars (Premium)
Stern, 2017Had the game a few months, 90% of the time on the hyperspace shot, ball flys up the ramp, then just rolls back down. has to be basically a "soft" hit to make the ball stay, or hit hyperloop. is this normal? I just tried turning down the flippers, and changing the hold strength on the magnet, nothing really changes. Thoughts? I havent found another one on location to check out.

Go check out the SW owners thread. There’s a lot of testimonials in there about this issue.
I got my Prem NIB a few months ago. I had a ton of rejects up for fork ramp. I read about the adjustment nut on the left hand side of the Death Star. That allowed me to “over adjust” one way. Then there’s also the post down the hyperspace return loop that also allows adjustment.
Once I found the “Goldilocks” zone where the return loop was high enough for balls to enter, but low enough so that returning balls didn’t hit inside the Death Star, I had dialed in the coolest shot in pinball.

you were 100% right! raised the ramp end about 1/4" shimmed the next rail mount up with 3 washers, and what a difference! just have to make sure the ball clears the back of the DS.. what a difference with the rejects! Appreciate the tip!
