Quoted from Aurich:

You don't need to be an 'art expert' to see those are drawings, and not movie stills or PR headshots, that's obvious. There's a massive library of Star Wars drawings and paintings, whether or not these came from that or were original for the pin I couldn't say. But even the most casual fan can see they're not film images.
When people wish for hand drawn art, what they mean is what Yeti did for Ghostbusters. What Donny did for Metallica and Aerosmith. An artist sat down, and drew the whole playfield, as a cohesive and complete vision. Stern is obviously capable since I just listed three modern games, and I'm sure in this case they didn't have that option. It happens. If they could have I'd think they would have.
It doesn't automatically mean gold! The Rob Zombie response wasn't that great, and that was a freaking oil painting. Data East Star Wars is hand drawn, people are dogging it in this very thread. It's just a style, good or bad isn't baked into it.
Photoshopped art doesn't have to be actual photos, it's just a reference to the collage style that you get when the license strangles your options. I think you can be disappointed that reality works that way, without actually being mad at Stern, or saying Ritchie always has shit art, or anything like that.
It's just a pining for the 'good old days' of pinball, when the art packages felt more soulful, and a little less commercial. The tradeoff is we get modern rules, modern screens, modern RGB lights, pinball hasn't withered, it's just that some of the old parts are worth being nostalgic over.
