Quoted from Zitt:Regardless; the whole thing leaves me wondering WTF these boneheads in Stern are doing.

Quoted from pinballaddicted:Yes. Metallica and ACDC sales popular to non pin heads. Both Pins best sellers. Stern do not release the numbers so we will never know how good!
Well I know it's a big seller, but whether it's getting actual non pinhead business is what's hard to quantify. Met is asuch a great game though
Quoted from chuckcasey:I've got my $$ ready for a premium, don't care. I'm in. Star Wars + Pinball = My family.
I've got my monies on a pro...that way if I like the premium i can sell it and pick when the premiums finally come around to be sold.
Quoted from o-din:Why. It won't be much different than anything else of late.
True, I dislike the movie but like it more than Metallica, and that turned out great. But I just have to hate it I guess becasue people keep telling me here theme is the most important thing.
Quoted from o-din:Star Wars of Pulp Fiction, pick your poison.
Do you ever stop to think that maybe pinball is passing us by? Or maybe you've passed pinball by? Or perhaps the whole world has passed pinball on by...
Hmm...yes.
Thematically pinball has completely passed me by. I'm sort of in the middle where I'm not really interested in super hero schtik (Most the flicks are laughably bad), but I also don't like Classic Rock as a theme enough to be excited. Like I listen to Rock everyday, but I don't get 'pumped' up by the idea of the bands. Having said that, it seems it's pleasing a lot of people around here and that's what they're aiming for, so that's well.
Now having said 'having said' that already, I am passing it by because I'm going down (ha) on themes whilst everyone else is going up; I care less aboot theme as time goes on as people care more aboot it. I can see how increasing prices help that idea along, but for me it doesn't matter much. If Aerosmith didn't look exactly like Kiss to me and came out a bit earlier, I would have bought it, played it, sold it. Star Wars is great and all, but I'm guying it because it's the next game.
The whole world has passed pinball by long ago.
Quoted from beelzeboob:Hey...I LOVED the Batman show...when I was SEVEN! But it doesn't translate well now and most people don't even remember that show.
Star Wars just released two blockbuster movies with another on the way. Still as big as ever.
Batman "just" released 2 blockbusters also. 
With more on the way
Quoted from beelzeboob:I call unfair comparison! Those movies are updated and TOTALLY different from the show that the game is based on. (And Batman vs. Superman sucked balls.)
...which looks like it should come with its own set of action figures and some bubble gum.
Many blockbusters suck balls...they don't have to be good to make a shit ton of cash.
It of course came with all those IF you paid the extra 5k for the super duper LE 
Quoted from dmbjunky:It's become too mainstream with Disney pushing it down our throats every waking moment.
I thought both Disney SW films were OK but if the next one is same good I'm afraid my fandom will only be for the originals.
NO NO NO NO NO! Don't repeat the fake news cycle that somehow Disney is the one over selling Star Wars sir. Lucas invented the damn thing.
Which Originals? The real originals that are great, or the 3 prequels that were fair worse than Disney's 2? 
EDIT: AS for Disney's, Force Awakens is exactly the same as SW but it felt right and was a fun watch. Rogue one was a fine side quest but no big payoff with it. Weird before i saw either i would expect the exact opposite of my thoughts with the 2 directors.
Quoted from Hazoff:not #3 it was glorious, great battles, birth of Darth I liked it as much as any of the OG trilogy and I grew up on those,
Bwhahaaha...so fucking bad.
Quoted from PinMonk:...one of the most unintentionally hilarious scenes in the whole series. "Nooooooooo!"
Has to be one of the biggest whifs in film history.
Quoted from dmbjunky:I got a buddy who says the same thing. Revenge of the Sith is just as terrible as the other prequels though.
Yes...when you ask people what's so great aboot it they mention the Vader scenes (yest forget "NOOOOO").
Somehow recreating the old sets for the last 5 minutes of the movie makes everyone forget the 8 shitfilled hours they just watched.
