Never played Episode 1 so I can't say but if Jar Jar is anywhere near that machine - it is a NO GO for me.
I have DESW and it is classic Star Wars with all the classic characters represented. Game play with the new code is good. Sounds with the Pinsound board and movie soundtrack added is nothing short of AWESOME.
Pinheads guests are easily bored with it and move on to the more difficult titles. Non-pinhead guests love it and play it over and over.
