Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:

I would love it if someone made a YouTube of the new code gameplay

Yep - just joined this club last weekend by trading for a practically new HUO Premium and ol' Jack Danger has been a big help in learning the rules and strategy. Just wish I had half his skills too!

Lovin' Star Wars so far too! Having much more fun now than with the LE I occasionally played on route that was mean as hell.

Cool - thanks. Did they blow up the Death Star? Haven't see this yet (w/ full lighting effects) - on my game or any streamed.

#6483 5 years ago
Quoted from pinwaz:

Death star destroyed 1:48

Just watched - very cool! Martin seems like he is now a little more of a Star Wars fan than he was at the start of the stream anyway.

I like his separate "F me" clip too. Classic and SO familiar!

Thanks again!

Quoted from Yfichelle:

Hi all, i search a new pinball for my collection : deadpool and iron maiden. Is SW premium a good choice ? I have read a lot of negative things about this pinball.
Is it great ? A good choice ? Not boring ?
Thanks for your answer ;o)

I didn't care that much for SW based on playing it (Pro and LE) on route. I ended up trading for a Premium on a whim and now that I have it set up right at home as well as know the rules - holy hell this game is so much fun! Shoots so cleanly, the code is fantastic, and the hyper loop is SO F'in COOL!!!

And I'm not close to being a big SW movie fan either.

#6518 5 years ago
Quoted from Mudflaps:

I go back and forth on characters to play modes I usually don’t see. My default character is usually Han or R2D2 based on the number of modes already lit. ..

"Leia all daya!"

#6526 5 years ago
Quoted from Jasontaps:

... Next thing you know Jar Jar Binks will be making call outs in the game. LOL. Oh the humanity.

Word on the street is Stern is saving this until the vault edition.

Yet ANOTHER reason to get a SW now!

#6529 5 years ago
Quoted from VillaThrills:

I have been modifying the audio on my SW premium. Was starting to look at the video assets too in order to see if I can replace some of the Yoda end ball comments for some variety. I am SO putting in the worst Jar Jar moments for the ball drain. You think Yoda got annoying! How wude...over and over again!

Mesa do getsa tired of hearen Yoda all da time.

#6549 5 years ago

I have shakers in all my games that use them and I love the added effect that they provide! I've never had a shaker cause a part connection to break that I'm aware of, and if it somehow has, I would bet that the connection was defective to begin with.

Star Wars is the only game that I have turned the shaker setting down to the low setting. The match video explosion shaker effect was way too long and drastic otherwise.

#6575 5 years ago

I have two sets (see #'s 1 - 4 below) of Stern Star Wars art blades available from the full set I just purchased. $65 via PayPal per set includes USPS Priority Mail to lower 48. PM me with choice(s) if interested.

UPDATE: Both sets are now SOLD.

This game, while brutal, is SO MUCH FUN!

Just sayin'.

#7414 4 years ago
Quoted from Toasterdog:

I love the moving multipliers, it adds such a cool layer of strategy IMO. It’s also the difference between a decent score and an amazing one.

I love those too. So satisfying when you can build them up and then strategically relocate them and hit a big payoff shot!

#7438 4 years ago
Quoted from Crile1:

Quick question for SW premium owners: what colored lighted flipper buttons look best? I was thinking red or maybe orange would match both sides best. Now that I've made this one a keeper, time to add a little bling.

Mine has green on the right (see pic below) and purple on the left. Don't have a picture of the left side handy, but I think I'd do blue on the left now. It would also match the blue start button I installed.

For those interested, twenty84 (ChromeCandyPinball on Twitch) did a stream a few days ago with a dedicated camera on the new SW topper the whole time:

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/527437553

The most interactivity I noticed was when R2D2 did a full 360 degree rotation after a free ball was won. Otherwise, it appears to be fairly sedate.

#8280 4 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

R2 does quite a few things I have noticed. For this stream, it would have been more noticeable with direct audio capture, since a lot of what is added is audio + the movement. He is more active when you play as R2, since he seems to move more in the modes he is in.
*Tilt / Warning he will freak out
*Mystery he will move similar to the R2 on the screen
*Bonus countdown (when R2 is pictured on the screen) he mimics the movements of the screen R2
*When selecting R2 character before 1st ball he moves and beeps to acknowledge he is picked
*Ball save (when playing as R2) springs him into action when the animation pops up
If you have the volume up, you will definitely notice R2 while playing because of all the extra R2 beeps and movement sounds.
One of the best parts of the topper that I didn't expect is how R2 brings the machine to life in attract mode. You can adjust the interval when he makes sounds and moves in attract. Default is every 20 minutes. The execution is pretty good overall.

Good info - thanks!

Now if it only looked better and wasn't so expensive ...

#8285 4 years ago
Quoted from mbrave77:

So which screw hole is that screwed into? If only one of the two screws are used doesnt it move a tiny bit when hit?

Looks to be tight against the playfield rail so shouldn't be going anywhere.

This is a great adjustment that I wasn't previously aware of. Thanks for posting again @D-Gottlieb!

Quoted from Jamwin:

Would love any suggestions on the adjustments that can be made other than the outlane posts. I am getting a lot of SDTM shots and ball launch drains. There are times that I don't even touch a flipper and get two successive drains from launching and ball save launch. So frustrating. Thanks in advance.

Change the slope of your playfield. Start out at 6.5 degrees and then go shallower or steeper incrementally until you find one that plays better for you.

More pimping out of my Star Wars game! Just added interactive undercab lighting, speaker panels, Darth Vader tie fighter, Pin Monk's colored insert gels, and Titan translucent rings.

Star Wars is a game that has surprised me in how much fun it continues to be! I've had my Premium a couple of years now and it's one of my favorites to play in my current collection.

Quoted from Cheeks:

... I did white powder on the wireforms in my Stern Star Trek LE and that looked cool. I like it here too. Is there a reason you did the returns but not the loop?
And how do you see anything on the right side of the playfield? That tie fighter looks huge...

Thanks - I wouldn't typically powdercoat a game white, but I really like it for Star Wars in creating an "Imperial Stormtrooper" look.

I left the hyperloop wireforms as original chrome to keep them distinctive from the ramp returns as well as give the playfield more variety.

While slightly larger, the Darth Vader tie fighter doesn't really block anything except for the expansive (and unlit) art area under it. The angle of the photo in my prior post is misleading, here's an actual average height (5'-10") player's angle of view:

I added interior LED lighting to it as well, but am currently awaiting a voltage booster to brighten the effect.

#8861 3 years ago
Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:

Still huge but I do like the white powder coating. Maybe the Vader Tie Fighter might make a better topper.

lol

Could still use a topper yet, but WAAAY too small for that. A LOT cheaper alternative than the Stern offering anyway! Although, most anything not made of precious minerals is cheaper than that topper.

#8864 3 years ago
Quoted from HC2016:

Vader’s ship there looks awesome ..whole machine looks awesome ! what brand ship is that and how did you mount it ?

Thanks. It's a Hallmark ornament (like the X-Wing fighter I added in the pops area). I fashioned a stiff wire tie of my own, screwed one end into the bottom of the ship and secured the other end under the nearby nut that holds down the adjacent wireform return.

#8866 3 years ago
Quoted from Cheeks:

What is the actual color of the powder, given there's a thousand different whites these days...

Prismatic Powders "Snowcone White"

#8903 3 years ago
Quoted from Jamwin:

What type of wire are y'all using to mount mods to the screws/posts? thanks in advance.

Whatever I've had on hand, including wire hangers. A bit larger gauge than ideal, but has worked fine in the end. I use a large headed short truss screw to fasten to bottom of fighters.

Quoted from mbrave77:

What balls do i need to use on this game? Anything special since the hyperloop uses magnets? ...

I've been using the same standard, commonly available, balls I use in all of my games and have had no issues.

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

I can't stand that cartoon art at all. The movie was not a cartoon and the print quality of the original theme pin is excellent. No regrets for me.

Having choices is nice and to each their own. I'm glad to see that this art package excites others for what I consider to be a great game.

For me personally though, the cartoon version of SW is like the "Luci" version of AC/DC in that I don't consider it an improvement over the original art.

A code update?! Cool!

Thank you Stern and Merry Christmas fellow SW owners!

#9830 3 years ago
Quoted from Stormfront:

Just got my first pinball machine ever, and it's a Star Wars Premium! Sadly it is currently sitting in my garage while I finish tiling my basement, but I hope to have it set up soon!

Enjoy that hyperloop (once you get the game set up)!

Quoted from PocketHoleshot:

... and didn't much care for the Hyperloop. ...
