I forget who suggested this, but thank you. I modified the power connection so that it was hidden in the back, instead of sticking out the side. I'd love an R2D2, but the price is insane.

I see… I’ll check this out tomorrow. Just got done lighting up some mass fireworks. Thanks for the tip.

Jamwin or others, could you please share the type of screw/metal plot that you need to get in order to fit the Gottlieb Siamese post on the playfield ?
I realized only after purchasing one that the regular plot wouldn't fit.
Thanks a lot !

Where to find some ‘exclusive’ mods for the prem/le version? Already bought the lightsaber mod from 2niro. But are there more out there?

I just listed these. Best of both worlds: art and mirror blades in one.

Looks good but already ordered the stern blades..

Did you get the triple pack with 3 different designs? If so id like to buy a set your not going to use or anybody else out there that has the two extra sets laying around and wants to sell a set. Let me know!

Nope, not as set. Only one pair

I dont think that's the Stern set then

Yea, it is. Here in EU they sell it separately

So...this just fell on my playfield while I was having a multi ball frenzy... Can anyone help regarding where it comes from ?...

Edit: found it was from the sides of the cabinet, to hold the sides...

That was absolutely it... It makes sense now. When I was first looking at this, I could tell that the initial movement was very "tight" And it didn't occur to me that the stop would correct that. With the stop adjusted, the initial movement is much smoother, which allows the coil to pull the gate. And then there's probably a holding current that traps it, since I could not see any other mechanical mechanism. I should have known better, since this is the technique I used on a prototype direct drive telescope that used a friction brake held by about 8 of these types of coils.

In any case, you solved this one for me! Thanks!

Awesome. They also use that same 11mm nut on the coin door, side rails (front and rear as you discovered) and inside of the backbox to hold the hinge.

That used to happen to me too. On my machine there is a brief moment when I can catch it with the right flipper, I tend to keep the right flipper extended after I hit the left orbit hard and that deflects it back over to the left.

Where to find ramp decals? Or who can make them for me?

I would order from Stern. (Through a distributor). I recently bought a playfield decal set.

I mean decals for ramps stern never make those

Wouldn't hurt to ask them! Pablo has been awesome in helping me out.

True! I will try but my experience with stern is that i have to wait weeks for reply, we will see

Has anyone removed their goody bag from their Star Wars? If so, got any pics of what's inside? I know there are extra slingshot plastics and keychain fobs...anything else? Just curious.

Thanks ! On my end the issue is more with the left orbit and I usually try that too, keeping the left flipper extended, but the ball usually falls short 75% of the time.... :-/
It can be so frustrating when everything else has gone well in a game ! And I still don't know with which metal plots I should buy to be able to attach the Siamese Gottlieb dual post (C-17492C) in order to close a bit the left outlane...

Anyone install a complete pinwoofer system in there star wars yet? If so how were your results?

Just scored my first billion today!!! I never thought this day would come ha ha. Game is so fun when you get in the zone.

Yes I did last summer.
Fantastic results once you balance the backbox
speakers and cabinet sub.

I also have a Pinnovators line out that I connect
to my quadraphonic ( 4 speakers..a and b channels plus subwoofer) stereo system in gameroom for the ultimate
experience.

PinWoofer by itself is super awesome .

I haven’t updated the game code to 1.10.0 yet. Looking at the change log it doesn’t look like it is worth it to me. I am aware that it will reset all the high scores. Is it worth it? Are there any parts of the code that you really like or is it just a waste of time? I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

I'm having the same "out the right orbit, sdtm" deal. Only tilting hard will stop it from going straight down the middle. Is there any way to adjust this?

I’m having the same problem out of both orbits

You got to loosen the exit sides of the orbits and push them into place and tighten them down good and sometimes even have to put alittle bit of a bend in them. I had more trouble with the inner horseshoe especially shooting through the Deathstar and out Hoth but after alot of messing with it I barely ever get any more SDTMs.

The drain on endor mission select is gone. That one alone is worth the update

File down the burr at the end of the right lane guide. It is created by the ball hitting the face of the guide in play. It's ever so small, and you can only feel it with your finger nail, but removing it makes the difference between stem and right flipper. This information comes from Steve Ritchie himself.

Anyone able to fix the machine gun reset of the FORCE drop targets on premium/LE’s? I’ve removed, cleaned and resoldered the contact points of the optos on each of the two boards. I’ve read this is a design flaw and I see aftermarket boards for sale here on pinside. Before I purchase the aftermarket boards I figured I would check here and see if anyone has come up with a fix.

Thanks in advance.

Never heard of this...do the targets just go up and down real fast a few times? Pros don't do this?

Sounds like the plastic piece/bar that the drops rest on is broken. If you reset by hand, do the drops stay up?

I think something is broken on your machine. Never heard of a design flaw causing this particular problem before.

It's probably this plastic piece. I had the same problem on my Black Knight. New part was only a dollar or less at pinballlife.

20210302_100110 (resized).jpg

Yep that's the one

I'll be buying a few spares, Star Wars resets the targets more than Black Knight so I'm sure this will eventually break. BTW I've had my SW premium a month and I'm loving it.

I have one more pin than I have space for and I'm considering mixing up my lineup a little beyond that. All my games are excellent shape or soon will be (restoring Seawitch and BoP now). In one of my senerios I let go of my Star Wars Comic premium. My thought is that it is worth a lot now and I can always repurchase it if I miss it. The problem is I really like the look of the comic version. I'm not sure the normal release would scratch my Star Wars itch later on. Am I crazy to consider parting with Star Wars?

I would literally sell every other game 1st...but that's me.

What little I can see of that Twilight Zone in that pic...sheesh, looks like garbage. Let me help you out and arrange for somebody to haul it away to the landfill. You've suffered enough.

Nothing is broken to the eye. This is an opto issue. The machine resets the targets the first time every time, but the coil fires several times after it resets. If you search the market here on pinside for Star Wars, the aftermarket boards show up saying they are a fix to this common problem with the Star Wars drop targets. From the responses it seems as if this “isn’t” a widespread issue and I just need to dig deeper.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. What does Jedi training & rank do? I can’t work it out.

the higher level the more pts you get completing targets
and you need to reach last level to get the wizard mode
in fact, Dwight added this to make the pin a bit harder, even if to me (and mostly others ?) i never really aim for these targets, this came "alone"...

also notice that targets may be lit for a t-fighter (which can help if you're not far from the multiball), in this case may be you wanna aim for them, but this remain dangerous with some return ball

Nitpicking here I guess but does it bother anyone else that Yoda gets cut off sometimes? On ball 3 especially...Do or do not, there is no GAME OVER!

Thanks RipleYYY appreciate it

you're welcome
i read a few above you finally get 1B points, than let me ask : are you playing while really using the lane(s) multiplicator ?
if not, that's the main point you have to focuse on, the real key on SW, and than you will see that 1B is just not that high
good luck !

Mine does not do that. Unless I cut him off before he can finish talking.
