Christ some of you people must be smoking crack. You think that's clip art on the backglass & playfield???

That's CLEARLY hand drawn original art, and I can only imagine how detailed it will look when the HD images are released. Same goes for the playfield. The rush to judgement around here never ceases to amaze me.

Looks pretty damn sweet to me, especially the Premium with the Empire theme. You can never have too much BOBA FETT. I trust in Steve Ritchie, this will be a super fun pin to play.

Has no one mentioned those character selection screens? Seems like you can select your character before plunging, with each having various bonuses. Each has 2 selectable missions, but some skillshot bonuses are unique to each character

Luke: Strong with the force -- Jedi Training, +5 Tiefighters
Leia: Strong in missions --- Light Mystery, +3 Bonus Multiplier
R2: Good with multipliers -- +3 Bonus Multiplier, +3 Shot Multiplier Bonus
Han: Outwit Bounty Hunters --- +5 Tiefighters, Light Escape from Boba Fett

Sounds like there will be plenty of variety & options with each gameplay. Makes me want to escape from Boba Fett right now! Really looking forward to seeing how the code, lightshow & video integration all comes together. You know it's going to play fast & be fun.

You can say it looks sparse, but if that money is put into the lightshow & coding, I'm fine with that. Will all that open space, this will be the most modded game in pin history, for better or worse.

Truer words were never spoken. Huge IM fan here.

Can't wait to see actual premium gameplay with the hyperdrive ripping, balls diverting & six balls in play, while you're mashing the apron button during video mode. Throw in some nice lighting effects, sound effects, music, video clips.....could be some pretty damn intense fun!

"But the playfield is barren without any toys" (shrugs)

It's all about presentation, gameplay & code folks. Looks like a lot of fun to me.

Don't care about pricing right now. Premium is the way to go anyway, and they'll be making these for years. They'll be easy to get once I finally get around to buying one.

What's up with that Millenium Falcon LCD mode pictured above? That another video mode, or do you have to make shots to dodge the asteroids, while you advance levels & build up your streak? Looks pretty cool, would be even better with John Williams "the asteroid field" playing in the background

HA! Off topic I guess, but you have no idea. Screw ANOVOS, the company that makes that costume. Their shit is overpriced garbage, make you preorder years in advance too.

Come on Panzer. I almost spit out my coffee reading this drivel. Dominoes is one lame ass pin, and yes I've played it. Nice try tho.

Wait about 4 years when SW becomes one of their all-time best sellers & they release a new dark/light premium art package. Take that prediction to the bank.

Well that was a waste of time. I asked who was doing the custom callouts in the twitch feed, but they didn't ask him. Don't understand the secrecy. Talk the game up, give some details

With so many SW toys & merchandise saturating the collectors market for the last 40 years, I don't think there's any doubt that the SW pin will be the most modded game ever, and that's not necessarily a good thing either. While there will be some cool stuff for sure, there's going to be a lot of god awful toppers & crammed playfields that are going to be tough to look at.

It's a good thing IMO

Here's an easy solution. Add a setting option to the code to turn mode stacking on/off.

Want a less hectic, more atmosphere, scene specific experience? Turn stacking off. Want to progress further into the game at a faster crazy pace? Turn stacking on. Hopefully Dwight comes up with that option, if it's possible.

Yeah I get that. You have the option not to select a stacked mode.

If two people are playing though, and one guy is selecting stacked modes & the other isn't, the guy stacking is probably going to score way more points, since he has more modes running at same time. It would just be nice to turn the stacked mode option off in the settings, then multiple players are forced to play the same way. Just my two cents

I think jar155 hit the nail on the head.

Put me in the camp of SW nerds that are disappointed with the final package. I can only imagine what JJP could have done with this license. I guarantee the design would look & play nothing like the Stern pin.

I think it's great that they came up with something new, via the moving/lockable multipliers & use of the action button, but it seems like such a poor choice on a game that is so fast. Add in the fact that you barley have a chance to look & absorb the shot info on the LCD, and with lacking callouts, blended stacked movie modes, it could make for a pretty confusing experience. Especially for non-pinheads.

I've been waiting for a dream theme modern SW pin for years. But after I've had a chance to think it over, I've decided to pass for now. There are just too many games out there with great gameplay to take a gamble on an early SW order.

I bought an IMVE instead
