Quoted from Rob_G:

Some dude now seems to be copying the Stern LE side rails. I don't imagine Stern will be happy about that as those rail designs may be copyright.

Quoted from John_I:

I kind of liked the white trim at first, but once I stepped back from machine about 10 feet it really stuck out like a sore thumb. The whole game has black trim and the white around the head just didn't look right. It looks so much better now. It only took a few minutes to do too. I did it while I was putting in the Flipper fidelity speaker system.
Here's a picture with one of each so you can really see the difference.

Quoted from John_I:

When you pull the old T-molding off you will notice that the ridge that fits into the slit is cut off at the corners to allow it to make the curve easily and smoothly. All you need to do is use some cutters to cut the molding the same way the factory one is cut. This is not an exact science here, if you are a little off it won't be visible at all. If you don't take off enough material, you can always go back and cut a little more. Just put the seam in the middle on the bottom like it was to begin with. I used a stout set of sharp scissors to make the final cut and it came out nice and flush. One other thing to verify is that you got the right channel, by holding it up against the original and making sure the dimensions are the same.

Quoted from kermit24:

Can you backhand the Death Star ramp at 6.8? I have found that 6.5 is perfect since it allows me to backhand it.

Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

** Star Wars vs. AC/DC? **
I know it's not the best comparison, and I know "vs" threads are irritating to many, but I would love to hear from any SW Premium owners who also happen to have a AC/DC Premium.
(The more obvious thread is a comparison between MET Premium and AC/DC Premium - which I've read, with keen interest.)
I'm shopping for a pin and these two are presently the strongest contenders that are offered for sale in my region.
Thanks in advance for any/all opinions on how the two titles compare and if, in your case, one gets more plays in your collection than the other.

Quoted from bigbadmiker:

I'm getting a Star Wars premium in the next couple months and wanted to see what mods and protectors people are putting on their pins.
I was thinking for protectors, I would want a shooter lane protector like the one from pinball life (https://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=4130). Do I need another protector for the other side, the side of the cabinet where the ball bounces off and lands in the shooter lane? I've seen the clear mylar or plastic, but don't really care for how it looks.

Quoted from bigbadmiker:

I looked at Cliffy site and didn't see a shooter lane protector for Star Wars. Where did you get yours?
Sounds like I'll have most of the same mods. Have mirror blades and typical Polk sub already. Going to pick up PDI glass and shaker when I get pin. I'll need to order pinnovators card as the one I have currently is for my STTNG.

Quoted from Mbecker:

So the premiums are going for roughly $2k over the pros? Is that typical? I can’t remember.. but I thought gb difference was closer to a grand?

Quoted from PlayPin:

I would like to add a subwoofer to S.W.P. I don't see any for sale at pinnovator, just a kit to hook you own box? I don't want a sub on the floor, just a better woofer in the bottom of the cabinet. I ordered a kit for my S.T. from flipper fidelity which I don't like at all. The bass drowned out all voices & call outs so that I could not make them out. I put the original speakers back into the speaker panel and left the sub in the lower which helped a lot. It still does not sound right though and I am going back to 100% stock on S.T. and feel I wasted $150 plus shipping now. Is there any good kits that produce clear and balanced sound for these Stern games? Of course all these games need more bass but not at the expense of losing clear voice call-outs, etc. Any help advice really appreciated!

Quoted from PlayPin:

I really don't want an external sub though. Are you unhooking the factory woofer in the lower cabinet with this kit? Are the speaker panel(top) speakers just stock?

Quoted from zacaj:

There should be two arms in the back that are attached to the coil, are they both moving okay?

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

They are behind the death star. Pull the playfield forward. I had a set screw come loose and the arm disconnected. 5 min fix.

Quoted from Wildbill327:

I totally agree with you, after owning this game for a few weeks I finally played a game on my Metallica pro and scored 500,000,000+ and was the closest I’ve ever been to end of the line.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Phones still work great for contacting people

Quoted from fosaisu:

Also people seem to get best results from Stern going through their distributor (assuming you bought NIB).

Quoted from mbelofsky:

I'm playing around with my new game. I added the following two Hot Wheels 40th anniversary ships to the back. I used a 1/16" aluminum rod with a glue gun. I tilted it away from the back so it would not scratch the artwork. I like it but I am not sure if I am comfortable with it in the game. I realize that the game does not really need anything else but I am buying toys for my toys.
Any comments or criticisms welcome. Thank you. Michael

Quoted from monte_:

I replaced the flipper rubbers on my machine with titan rubber rings bit I feel like the new ones dont grab the balls as well. Does anyone know what is on the original flippers? Or reccomendations on what company to buy from?

Quoted from konghusker:

Curious about le/premium owners thoughts about the game now after it's been out a long time now? Depth, reliability, durability etc. Considering a premium.

Quoted from Brian541:

Just got my premium delivered friday,Its an ass kicking ball draining bitch but totally awesome to me!2 days live in the arcade and hyperloop has never been activated,Hoping its poor play and not actually anything wrong with it.

Quoted from Brian541:

Didn't get the shaker yet but will be,Should have been included!

Quoted from fosaisu:

I’ve got the pinballlife shaker I’m my SW and it’s great. Supposedly very similar action to Stern model, but I haven’t compared them. And save an extra 15% by buying two+ if someone in your area wants one too.
Never had a cointaker shaker but have read they’re very aggressive, some love them some don’t.

Quoted from Mudflaps:

Yeah, careful with non-Stern shakers. The non-OEM shaker fried 2 GB node boards after a few months.

Quoted from adamross:

Just joined the club! Plays great, except scoop is shooting balls SDTM, any suggestions? Game is perfectly leveled.

Quoted from John_I:

I just wanted to share my experience with the Stern light saber side rail upgrades. I really love the LE side rails and tried to get some with no luck. Instead I ordered the Stern light saber side rails and installed them. Two problems were apparent right away. First was the backing was not held down well enough which caused shadows in the cut out area especially along the blade portion. Second problem was the handle portion of the cutout area used such fine lines that you basically could not see the saber's handle shape unless the room was well lit and you were looking directly straight on so you could see the white backing.
The first problem was an easy fix. I removed the rails and taped the backing down along the entire length in a way that is not visible from the front and reinstalled the rails. The second problem still remained a head scratcher. I did some quick research on putting in some EL backlighting, but that led to dead ends and I wasn't sure it would fix the problem anyway. Long story short I decided to hand paint some outlines on the handles. Not being an artist, I simply got a fine white paint pen and simply/carefully ran it along all of the edges in the cut out areas representing the light saber handles. This worked awesome and was done in about ten minutes per side. Now even in low light you can actually tell its a light saber and it looks infinitely better from all angles. The handles stand out now in any light with just that little added paint.
I attached some pictures below. The camera on my Samsung phone is so darn good in low light it was hard to get a good "before" pictures because the camera made it look better than it actually looked to the eye. You can still get the idea.
In the end I am now really happy with these. It still would be cool if someone would create a light kit though.

Quoted from Brian541:

Update,Still no hyperloop ever,The fork ramp never activates in game play or in test,Looked under the playfield at it and all connecting wires seem to be ok.Super discouraged at this point since I was on the fence for so long over pro versus premium.Now I just have the most expensive proemium ever!Damn!Screwed again!

Quoted from yzfguy:

Yes. Blades won't fit on my SW or AC/DC
