I'm very excited to see more detail. Naysayers are ridiculous around here... The art looks 100 times better than previous SW pins. They're jokes that I don't even want... this isn't perfect, but pretty nice imo.

This marks off the biggies for me:

1. Original trilogy
2. Loaded with shots/fan layout (two ramps, turnaround loop, orbits, scoop, 5 bank drops, 3 bank stand up/possibly motorized, mini lcd almost assuredly tired in with gameplay in some way.).
3. Modes o' plenty - hope they're fun and deep enough without being repetitive/wood chopping.
4. Colorful, decent art of my favorite theme and characters of all time, see number one

I can't wait to play it - I am hoping there are some neat details we're missing with this half-ass reveal too. If there are any diverters or features we're missing that will just be gravy. I think the mini lcd being a targeting computer or something, with animations of hits on ships or something similar as you score the targets would be epic. I hope it is that heavily integrated into to the gameplay. Honestly that could be pretty major. If the 3 bank is motorized and lowers and has something behind it? Awesome. The whitewood pic showing regular static stand-up targets may not be damning, it's an early proto, but certainly will be a little disappointing if accurate...

My biggest disappointment is probably that the Pro, the only model I'm likely to be able to swing, is missing the death star integration and hyperspace loop stuff. But I'm relieved the Pro has the drop targets and spinner at least, honestly. Hate it when they leave those simple items out.

I'm really starting to like the art as well. I think the only section I don't like are the four main characters above the flippers front and center. Might look better in reality. I just noticed admiral Ackbar on the left pop bumper cap on the Pro - I mean come on, that's awesome. Looks like lando on the premium, not as good there, imo, lol.

As for toys, since there is an insert for "Tie fighter" pointing to the stand-up and the tie model, any chance that Tie fighter moves when hit like the Vengeance in ST?. Seems cool if so.

Am I the only one that likes the look of the one-piece Death Star model on the Pro? The splitting model on the premium doesn't look to fit together all that well on the couple images of the premium...

Hoping we see full details on this tomorrow, really looking forward to more info.

Quoted from cooked71:

I saw one of the screen shots of the LCD it reads FORCE lights mystery. Would be really really lame if that's all they do during gameplay.
Edit: Here:

I believe the text on the plastic above the force targets indicates they build the spinner value as well. The graphics on the targets themselves are clashing light sabers, and there is a light saber duel insert a little out in front of the drops. Guessing that mode might directly involve them as well...

This machine literally has zero chance of not being significantly better than DESW at this point. That is just plain ridiculous...

How did you feel about the Tie fighter being the only semblance of a bash toy? Did it feel pretty interactive with the way it responded? Did the tie fighter only respond to hits on the stand-up directly in front of it/below it, or did you notice if it activated from other shots too, or maybe the action button on the lock bar?
