Quoted from SWfan:

I've had the Comic Premium version for almost a year now and the game keeps getting better and better. I have "fixed" the issue with the scoop draining so that it now always hits the left flipper on eject, which is awesome. Hoping to find a similar solution for the inner loop (Hoth/Death Star) shot. It is obviously not fun to hit the exact shot that is called for only to have it go SDTM. Bad shots getting punished is one thing, but quality shots getting punished is frustrating and this game would be a 10/10 if I can find a way to correct that.
I know this has been discussed throughout this thread, but does anyone have a "fix" that works to permanently correct this issue? Even when perfectly set up, it will still go SDTM at least 1 out of 6-7 times. I'd like it to be closer to 1 out of 20. It tends to drain SDTM more going from right to left (Hoth to Death Star) but can go SDTM either direction.
Any suggestions are appreciated and any photos of modifications are greatly appreciated!

Quoted from SWfan:

I am hopeful that Dwight will do one more code update for Star Wars. I just posted this as a separate topic, but thought I should post it here as well.
Here is my wish list for what would be added/changed:
1. Co-op mode
This game seems to absolutely be made for co-op mode. Would be a great addition.
2. Better use of small screen.
As of now, the screen is really not well utilized outside of the initial plunge. Would be nice to see it utilized more in the game other than to basically repeat information that is on the main screen. In my view, as it is used now, it seems like wasted space that could have been used for another toy in the game. Would like to see the small screen basically hold its own as a toy-like feature to the game.
3. Change in scoring system.
I like the ability to move the multipliers around, but too much weight in scoring is put on using your multipliers correctly. I have had many "great" games where i might score under 1 billion and then other "okay" games where I score 2 billion+ just because I hit one shot with a big multiplier. This could probably be accomplished by having smaller multipliers (only 1-10x) or not have the multiplier time out, (so that when you get to 40x, it stays there). I just think a really great game should get a higher score than an okay game that gets a disproportionate score solely because of the multiplier. Makes the high score a more fun goal and more reflective of the quality of the play. Also, some events just have way too low of points compared to their difficulty/accomplishment. Such as lightsaber dual, Escape from Boba Fett, etc.
4. Change in Hyperspace Hurry-Up
My favorite part of the game, by far, is the Hyperspace loop. I think once you unlock the Hyperspace, it should stay active until you hit the shot or drain, as opposed to being on a hurry-up. There are so many hurry-ups in this game already, and that shot is difficult as it is, so just leaving it open until you hit it would be a great change.
5. Inner-loop ball-save option
They added a ball-save option for the scoop. Would be great if they added an option for the inner loop too. There are too many SDTM drains from that loop and it becomes really frustrating to have a great game going only to have a SDTM for hitting the shot you were trying to hit. If there was an option for a ball-save (1-2 seconds would probably be enough) it would really improve the game play and make the game less finicky on having a perfect set up.
6. More variety for drain call outs.
I like the Yoda call outs but it would be great if there were some other characters or more variations rather than hearing the same "Control, control, you must use control" Yoda call out every time!
Those are my suggestions, what are yours?

Quoted from No_Pickles:

Relative newbie question:
I changed out my slingshot rubbers for clear titan silicone.
It was an immediate improvement in gameplay as I no longer have to aggressively nudge to break the slingshot to slingshot to outlane cycle.
The problem is one of the slings is now occasionally self-activating, or after a legitimate trigger it keeps hammering for an additional few seconds before stopping.
Is that because the silicone is a tiny bit too tight? I’m assuming I need to stretch it a little bit, or slightly bend back the metal switches it activates.
As I’m writing this, I’m remembering that when I initially stretched it in place one of the metal switches was accidentally pinched outside the rubber, I probably bent it forward unintentionally.

Quoted from ChipScott:

I'm sure the issue has to do with the leaf switches that are behind the rubbers. They are too close, and maybe it is because of new rubbers, but all you need to do is widen the gap of those two leaf switches a bit, and that should take care of the problem.

I got an offer to trade my Game of Thrones Pro for Star Wars Pro? Should I go for it? Does Star Wars Pro have more to offer in gameplay? Thoughts?

Quoted from kermit24:

Both excellent games with a ton of strategy. Do you feel like you have done everything you want to do in GOT? I'd do Star Wars personally, and I've owned both.

Quoted from pinballonthemark:

The only thing I want to do is get to Iron Throne playing as Greyjoy. Other than that I made it to victory laps playing as Targaryen. Just the other day I got to Iron Throne playing as Baratheon. It is a great game, but the shot variety is basic where Star Wars seems to have more going for it in the variety of shots and which inserts to hit.

Quoted from Pinstein:

I made some new art blades for this game. I wanted them to be a background the playfield toys like the deathstar, M Falcon, and added x wings, tie fighters and star destroyers. I will print them and install today and get some pics up when done.

look really nice!! good work!, are they gonna be available for everyone?

Quoted from Pgorey:

Just got a SW Pro for a crazy good deal from a new homeowner where the machine came with the home and they just didn't want it. I can't contain my excitement having this thing in my home. I am a complete newbie regarding pinball ownership but love tinkering and electronics so I feel like the maintenace and mods part will be something I really enjoy. I already fixed the double post as the two posts had become unthreaded a bit and were basically always up a little when activated. Cleaned the balls and glass, did a once over of the playfield above and below. The left tie fighter wing was broken in half and in the parts bag. Has anyone else had this happen and what were the circumstances that shattered the wing? Also, where are the round character and x-wing plastics supposed to go? I love the MF mod that I have seen others do to thier Pros. That will be my first project. Lastly, what is the MF flasher supposed to do when testing flashers. Is that a light output off a board that is available for future mods or should it be doing something from the factory?

Quoted from MrMikeman:

Flashers and coils will not operate with the coin door opened unless you pull on the white switch near the door hinge.

Quoted from Pgorey:

That doesn't seem to be the way this machine works - when I run through indivudual coils and flashers within the diagnostics, the coin door is wide open for me to operate the menu selections and the flashers and coils seem to work just fine. I just can't see anything happening when the M.F. flasher is activated in diagnostics.

Quoted from Jediturtle:

Most games have that switch, but some of the newer Sterns do not. They did away with them for a little while and then brought them back. Not a surprise SW doesn't have one. Mine does not. I just checked, and my MF flasher also doesn't do anything. I am guessing it is for the premium/LE Falcon, but not sure (I have a pro). I wouldn't worry about it.

Quoted from Pgorey:

Thank you for the quick responses. I have just updated to 1.05. and also have the pro. Hoping to build a MF mod that flashes etc.
This is such a fun machine and I'm just starting to figure out the gameplay.

Quoted from Jediturtle:

Congrats! I have heard of a few Tie Fighter wings breaking from a bad airball. If you can't glue this one back together to your satisfaction, you can probably get a new one from Stern or Marco (though it looks like Marco is out of stock). The plastics you are asking about are just fun little key fobs Stern usually includes.

Quoted from ralphwiggum:

There is a dedicated connector for that flasher on the node board under the playfield. I just updated my pro with a premium MF from Stern. Plug and play and works in the pro code without issue. I have a couple of Premium MF shells-ship only, if you want to experiment with your own setup.
