That's exactly what it looks like, Taco Bell or McD's promotional artwork you'd see on the cups.

Even still, its nowhere near as bad as GOT art and that color scheme.

It might end up being like that "buttaface" chick you used to bang. Everything on her was mind blowing stuff and she rocked your world, but her face, which belongs in a brown paper bag, was not.

The LCD and light show are going to be SPECTACULAR.

THE sound is going to be AWESOME.

Dwight isn't going to F up the code, he'll do a great job and make it unlike Star Trek, with many more modes.

And there are things in there that we can't see or know about yet due to these shitty pics.

I love the hyper drive ramp.

So we will see, I'm not gonna judge it just by looking at the ugly face. Need to see her in action.

Yes we can. A good part of the attraction to a pinball game is visual. There are games I love to play, but would never have in my house because they are hideous. I'm not saying this is as bad as some I have seen, but it is very disappointing given the hype and the franchise they are representing.

This explains the side rails.
It's the flooring pattern of the Falcon. You are inside the ship

Yea, but with Buttaface, you can turn out the lights or use a paper bag........you can't play pinball in the dark unless you are a ........ Pinball Wizard.......

Yes but using your own words you didn't marry the butter face chick, you just fucked the shit out of her nut denied it if anyone asked. It may be find to play but would you buy that ugly fucker.

BTW, I played a Aerosmith this weekend and it was a lot of fun. It's a great looking game and a ass kicker. The shots are hard.

Good spot! I had it in my head it reminded me of the corridor wall lighting in the first death star in ANH, either way its not exactly exciting

Could have had side rails that light up using any of the following:

Lightsabers
X wing or Tie Fighter with laser blast (think STLE)

Anything would have been more exciting than lighting or flooring

I am super happy, money ready for the Pro version!! Can't wait to get this one!! Great Job Stern!!!

Kind of like the similarity between ugly chicks and mopeds.......they are both fun to ride until your friends see you! Hopefully you will not have to wear a disguise to play this pin in public..........

My last 3 pins are GBLE, BM66LE and ASLE, gorgeous beauties, I still might need a Buttaface in the stable.

We were kind of told early on not to expect much from the artwork on Star Wars and boy were they right.

It almost has me considering DI but that artwork is worse and I don't think I can look at the dorky cell phone dude and Bob the builder toy.

You mean like this?

Urrr use the force?

Agreed, they are very similar, but then again Steve has done this before: HS -> HSII (Getaway) -> HSIII (STTNG)

I thought Death Star interior when I first saw it.

Gotta love Borg. I think Ritchie passed the best designer torch long ago.

Still gotta see how this one plays before I decide to marry her or not.

She doesn't want you. You've been with that disgusting BM66...some of your purple might rub off.

Well, it looks better than Batman 66.

My Borg tables are my favorites, by far

Roadshow, NBA Fastbreak, WPT...this is what you look at when you go in your game room.

You literally have multiple "Builder Bobs" staring back at you!

Snap, I posted that on the previous page with Obi-Wan fighting Vader, it was the first thing I thought of seeing those rails but it does look even more like the Falcons metal flooring, doesn't make me think Hyperspace at all.

They alse have a link to this Pinside thread on their FB page.

The game looks fun to me. I suspect most all of these big licences are gonna be stuck with somewhat bland art.

Lol. I played the B66 at the PHOF over the weekend once. Once was enough. I am aware that you can't make real decision after one game but I didn't want to get to know it. I didn't want to play it again. Sorry Ice, I know you love yours and if I ever get up your way I'll gladly let you try to change my mind.

The more I think about this the more I wonder why the original trilogy?

I'm a Star Wars geek. Have hundreds of toys, I don't collect just anything though, just things the emotionally resonate with me.

And the thing is, we've seen all this before. It's the 40th anniversary. Any of the art could have been on a lunchbox. It's the 3rd or 4th time the original films have been made into a pin (depending on how you count).

It's like making a new Playboy pin. Why would you do that? It's been done to death.

Ritchie likes action. Do Rogue One. Do something new. Data East, Sega, Stern, it's all the same company. Going back to the same well.

I want to play it. But I wish it looked like it was done by super fans of the films.

Maybe the animation package will help. Seems dumb to make people wait a week to bitch about things before officially releasing stuff. Maybe a video would shut us all up.

Totally agree, would have been down for that

The whole sudden change of their Facebook banner and link to the video was done after the video went online, so you would have to assume they heard about it and quickly panicked to update their Facebook page and link themselves to the video, it was certainly a leak, but your right it happens time and time again with Stern and really it shouldn't as there are people in paid jobs who are supposed to be organising and be in control of this stuff

I'd be stoked to find one in the wild. Ops should buy these up. Public won't care about the art.

Because the new characters suck.

No shit. Butt ugly's. I don't mind some old school ugly though.

They obviously have photos, and they supplied them to the video. It's weird that they aren't just posting photos now.

On the other hand, Dialed In was announced and made playable last October, and they just now released the trailer for it.

People want shit now. And I think it's dumb to not control the narrative. But it won't matter. People here will still eat up video in a week.

For example

And no previous SW machine had an LCD.

I think it's a safe bet to assume Stern where caught off guard big time with the video going live, we probably aren't seeing official images and video until the 6th because they don't have any of them completly edited/ready yet...

WHY not make a promethius pin instead of ALIEN

She is just still a young babe in the woods. Coming out of her ugly phase.

The Trilogy: NO FEAR, GAME OF THRONES, STAR WARS

Loops and Ramps baby!

Just look at that horrid gradient pattern on the shield...... Oops, wrong game.

Stay on target

Agree to disagree, I enjoyed Rogue One, and it would make a slick looking action pin, for Fast Ritchie.

Good plot for rules. Lots of action scenes for the LCD clips.

So I'm guessing by using the original cast art they can use tons of video from the original movies... if they wanted to do a next generation of the Star Wars movies they wouldn't have the video content needed with only one movie out. So my guess is u won't see shit from the new movies in the pin

Agreed, it's too early to comment on gameplay, sound, animations & code.

Disagreed, it's not too early to be disappointed in the art & toys though

Who is?

Of course we will all eat up some video after all we all love Pinball whether it's good or bad plus your forgetting THIS IS PINSIDE!!

People used to humble bundles and iphone apps are the ones that complain about a $40 SF II for Switch.

Tell that to this guy...

Tons of bitching about that. And they're not wrong either, it's too expensive for a reissue of an old game.

Whatever I bought it anyways, I'm a Street Fighter fanboi.

Jody would have to fire himself. He clearly deserves to be fired, but he's part owner, so they're stuck with him. His side of the house is always a mess, licensing aside. The marketing strategy at Stern though...it's real bad. I mean, wow.

Strong licenses can overcome a lot of bungling idiocy in marketing though, so it's not like it really matters all that much in the long run. It just annoys the fan base. I guess sometimes it threatens the fan base too on live streams, but I doubt that ever pays off.
