Quoted from rai:

I wonder if the pro is any good miss out on hyper loop but might get a smoother game like TWD pro.

I'm a huge fan of the pro. Death Star is still not an easy shot, but if you hit it, it never rejects, and it can be backhanded. And my Hoth shot is smooth as butter...no smacking the silly forks that do not move out of the way quick enough. The hyperloop is ok...but I can't stand it hanging over the flippers, and you do not really interact with it other than loading the balls. I like smacking the ball out of the "trap" to start hyperspace multiball and get jackpots on the pro instead. The pro just looks and plays more "cleanly" in my opinion.

The other premium stuff is not a big deal to me either. The virtual ball save is just as quick as the physical gate (and never has issues). The cracking egg Death Star is downright silly looking on the premium. The lightshow when you blow it up on the pro is just as effective, and less cheesy (again, just my opinion).

This is one pro that gets written off way to quickly.

Quoted from Ballsofsteel:

i'm just going to put this out there in regards to the premium hyperloop and why it is so special (at least to me). I have wanted a Getaway (steve richie) pin for a while now. I always thought the supercharger was one of the coolest toys in pinball history (maybe i'm boring). I could never come across one i liked for the price, so it never happened.
BOOM Stern Star Wars released. This hyperdrive loop is 5X cooler than the Getway supercharger, plus with the new depth and ruleset of this generation. It was win win for me, i get one of the best toys ever (IMO), plus the star wars theme (awesome), plus a steve richie fast flowy layout (yes).
anyways, just my thoughts on why the hyperdrive loop sells itself.
Nothing wrong with the pro, but it lacks what makes this machine so special. It is the only premium i might argue for vs a pro.

Very cool that you were able to get a feature you love in an even better game!

For me personally, the Getaway supercharger never did much for me either. Yes, it's a cool trick, but I do not like that I am not interacting with it at all. To me, the No Fear jump loop is a very similar feature, but so much cooler because it is up to me to keep it going. I will admit, it is fun to watch though, and kind of amazing how fast it can get the ball winging around.

I'm glad we have options. While it isn't a selling point for me, it's cool that it a special feature for you and many others. SW in any form is such an amazing game, and it's a shame it is so polarizing. I know you can never make everyone happy, but I'm really not sure why so many people do not give it a chance (or do and just do not click with it).
