So a Death Star that does something, and a dropdown bank under the mini LCD kinda like AFM? Seems like there should be more interactive stuff with this.

So a pic now removes 10 pounds?

If there was ever a chance to over-do a pin beyond the Stern standard, I would have expected it to be this one. I would have loved to have seen one so crammed with so much stuff, like Batman Forever, that you couldn't see 1/2 the playfield.

To me, this feels like:
1. They couldn't decide what to do because there's so many things they could have added, froze up, and had to put it together at the last moment.
2. Did the minimal amount of work to pass as a pin because they know it's going to sell well based on the theme alone.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I understand that many love certain game designers, and certain game coders. But I feel that games shouldn't be on rotation, like servers at a restaurant. I feel it should be a team effort, like at an Advertising Agency. You have the hierarchy of people with decision making abilities. You work as a team to make the best possible design (game), and not leave it up to basicly one sole person. We'd never have a Jr. Designer, or even Sr. Designer create a whole branding campaign by themselves.

Looks like they're using the same model from the Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures board game. Not that it's a bad thing. Because that series does look really good. But seems Stern wasn't the ones who "sculpted" it.

my first thought was it looks like it was pulled from SWEp1 pin.

So does it have a 20-ball multiball? That Death Star got loaded up.

They couldn't get James Earl Jones. So they went back to the original dub with David Prowse.

I think that's a stretch. Looks more like the Imperial walls to me. How often do we see the floor of the Falcon? Never once noticed that same design in the movies. Doesn't mean it's not there, but it's definitely more recognizable as Imperial walls.

My guess is they just made the same model for both, and only the Premium and LE have the mechs inside to open it up, since it looks pretty sealed with no gaps.

I did. Sealed as in, no visible gaps like the premium and LE. From the look of the gate directly in from of the Death Star, I'm still going to say it won't open up to spit out the ball.

Okay. Guess you're taking things a little bit more literal than I thought. So I'll point out that maybe you're getting hung up on my terminology. Let me correct that. Minus the hole where the wireform goes, there's a GIANT GAP where the Pro doesn't have. And seems there's a little bit of overlap at the very top. The Pro appears to be screwed together.

But like you said, it doesn't matter.

I love lower-back dimples.

They really just need to hire you to take their official photos. This looks much more attractive than what they put out. I'd say reaction would be much different if this was the first photo people saw of the machine.
