Anyone use these? Do they really not leave any residue? How do they stick? I have a SW Pro on order (well backorder). Can't wait!

Man this thread has exploded with activity recently making the wait for my SW Pro that much harder!
Quoted from pudluther:I thought Star Wars had a Midnight Madness mode....?
Made sure my clock was correct and played past midnight and no mode.... hmmmmmm.
I think I read it was removed in an update for some reason. Sucks ... I thought it was cool.

Quoted from SpectreJ:Put a deposit in on a SW Prem last month, was told to expect it in stock Jan./Feb.-- anyone else here waiting for their unit to come in?
Paid for my SW Pro in full back in August...no idea when it's coming in.
Quoted from Elvishasleft:They make you pay in full for an in production game?
That doesn't seem right.
Stern is short shipping all distrib orders at this point.
I opted to pay my distributor in full.

I'm curious if anyone has any chipping or pooling on their Star Wars? It doesn't seem to come up like it does for several other pins. I have a NIB coming whenever Stern can build me one. Thanks!
Quoted from Rum-Z:If there was a bunch of unsold SW Pros and Premiums just sitting around at distributors, maybe they'd to that in an effort to sell them.
Seeing as how I have been waiting since August for my SW Pro...they can't build them fast enough.

Quoted from Psw757:Not seeing anything all that exciting in there
DJ mixer, left plus start to quit game, limit video mode...all things I have seen people ask for.
Quoted from Psw757:What is DJ mixer?
No changes to ball drain callouts I guess?
You can play the games music kinda like a jukebox. No change to drain callouts.
Just got an email from Stern. SW Pro original art won't be back on the line until mid March. Thought I'd share in case anyone else was waiting on theirs. Purchased mine in August.
Quoted from mbrave77:I believe i did the quick update. Ive had 6 newer sterns and always do it the same way. Never lost hi scores. Any way to get them back(im assuming no since i never saved to usb)
Stern said it would wipe scores this time but not going forward.
Quoted from PocketHoleshot:I was playing my new comic pro and saw this during a break in the action after holding the flippers for instant info. I'm on the latest code. Does this mean midnight madness is back in the game? I know it was in an early version but was removed. Or is it just a bug?
[quoted image]
Ooooh no way! Someone check!
Quoted from crujones4life:Ooooh no way! Someone check!
So what's the verdict? It's 12:51 central time. Is midnight madness back? Anyone try it?
Quoted from SWfan:I tried it and nothing happened, but stupid me hit the video mode at 11:59pm and it didn’t finish until after midnight, so not sure if that ruined it or not?
I don't think that matters. I think the game is supposed to kill power to the flips, balls drain, midnight madness starts.
Quoted from tilt-master:I received a response from Stern. Stern referenced (like Rob G referred to) the Cabinet Node Capacitor kit fix for slam tilts. This is an Stern advisory dated 04/18/2018.
Solution: install the Capacitor Service kit 502-7059-00.
My SW pro manufacture date is back in mid-2017 so I may not have it installed....Stern stated newer models had the capacitors installed and integrated onto the cabinet node board.
Given the fact my email was sent right before the holiday, I would consider Stern's response fairly quick.
Stern, thank you for the great support and thank you for sending out the kit!
So just to be clear. If my game hasn't even been built yet I do not have to worry about this issue. Correct?
Does anyone know if the high score for midnight madness has always been there or was it added with the most recent update? That mode looked so cool.
Quoted from DavidCPA:It has always been there. I am running one code behind and I think they killed Midnight Madness on 0.97 or something. Bummer
Damn. Ok thanks for the info.
Quoted from tilt-master:Correct. And from how it was explain, this only impacts older machines without the capacitor, that are utilizing the shaker port.
Awesome thanks!

Quoted from SWfan:I don’t think we can tell where it will land yet as not all of the ratings are published (I don’t think...)
All all Star Wars (Stern) games ranked together?
Quoted from VALIS666:That's funny, I really don't remember the red/blue fade on the GI on ball over on the old pro model. But it has been a while.
Lighting is the same across all modes.
So many people with their new Star Wars pins...by the time mine comes in March it will have been 7 months since I bought it. Anyone else waiting on Stern to build theirs?
Quoted from SWfan:Which one did you order?
SW Pro original art. It's getting harder to wait the closer it gets!
Quoted from rai:You can call Cointaker seems like they have in stock. Great to deal with too.

I have a distributor about 30 minutes away from me that I have already sold 2 used games to. He is an awesome dude so I wanted to buy from him. I know that if I have any troubles he will make it right for me.
Quoted from MrTilt:Heard on the rumour file that SW comic pins will be produced in very low numbers this year if at all not sure but came from a distributor
When will Stern finish producing this title as it is 3+ years now?
That's why I bought one when I did. I figured if I only ever buy one NIB pin it should be Star Wars as I am a huge fan of all things Star Wars and the game is freaking awesome. I have a feeling that they probably were able to extend their normal 3 year run because of the comic art package and Star Wars The Pin.
Quoted from zermeno68:No surprise to many... 2nd owner of my SW machine, 3 years old, and had just got word from Stern customer service I can only get a hard clear coat to “repair” these chips.
The first photo has a small chip on the outline of the arrow insert.
The second photo, and most major chip was already on the machine when I bought the game. The previous owner added Mylar to “protect” the wood.
I contacted Stern to see if they might do anything about it (doesn’t hurt asking).
What would you guys do? Replace the playfield or keep using it?
[quoted image][quoted image]
I would dab that little spot with black paint or paint pen or whatever then a dab of clear on top. That sucks but that's a real small spot shouldn't be noticeable at all once repaired as you can barely see it now.
I finally found the other spot in the blue...yeah that's a little worse for sure. I would lay a flat clear plastic piece (like a cd case) on top of that spot and paint the plastic 1st, let it dry, see if it's a match. Keep trying until happy with the color then paint the spot on the playfield and clear on top.

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:Nope but it is wired for it. Super easy to install yourself.
Pros wired for it too? Plug and play? Is it suttle on the lowest setting? I am thinking about one but don't want to shake things loose.

I much prefer the original art in every way. The font used on the comic version is a big turn off for me...just doesn't look like right. But great to have choices!

Quoted from Toastin:OK, I finally joined the Club. I got this for my Daughter for her 7th B-Day. She is super into both pinball and Star Wars at the moment. We spent the last week cleaning it up and adding a bunch of stuff. She even installed the Shaker by herself! Mirror blades are just awesome on this pin. Still need to adjust some rails and the VUK to deal with enraging drains, but otherwise it's beautiful.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
So beautiful... congratulations! I have been waiting since August for mine. Should be here next month!
Quoted from Crispy77:I have a strange problem with my mini-wizard modes. when I start a mini-wizard, it gives me the multiball and if I trap one ball and let the other drain it will show the mini-wizard mode defeated. I do not get victory multiball but the mini-wizard shows solid on the playfield and I move on to the next missions. I tried loading an older code, but it still does the same. anyone run into this problem before? On a SW premium.
I think this is normal/correct behavior?
Quoted from livetowin:Just joined with a NIB Comic Pro this weekend. Wow what a great game. Sad to see Guardians go but this thing just shoots so good. I’ve talked myself out if picking it up for a few years and glad I finally joined. Love the Comic art.
Did you buy from a distributor with stock or had you been waiting for Stern to do a run? Wondering if mine might be coming sooner than expected...

Quoted from nicoy3k:I may be wrong but I don’t think you have to turn off stacking, you can chose to stack or play individual modes even when you have stacking enabled.
I wondered about this...this seems to be true from what I have seen in videos.
Quoted from gliebig:I've been thinking about giving this game a try. Any issues with the new comic versions coming off the line?
Comic version has been officially discontinued. I wouldn't wait to try and find one if that's the version you are looking for. I asked awhile back about any known issues and was told nothing outside of dimples which I expect anyway.
Quoted from PinSinner:Finally joined the club today with my first ever new in box. Shaker motor fitted gives awesome feedback and the speed is incredible.
Also added my first mod with two Tie Fighters and an x-wing added near the flippers.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Can I ask when did you buy yours? I bought mine in August and still waiting on Stern to build and ship it. Were you waiting too or did you buy from a distributor with old stock?
Quoted from dapperdan24:Comic pro JUST unboxed!!! Any specific problems straight out of the box to look for?
Congratulations! Was yours backordered or did you recently buy from Distro with stock?

Quoted from MrMikeman:Anyone else waiting for a OG Art Prem from the current/upcoming run? What's the ETA you have?
I know people are probably tired of seeing me post this...lol...but I am waiting on my OG art Pro since August. My distro reached out to Stern Monday and hasn't gotten a response about delivery time yet.
Quoted from MrMikeman:Good news for you but bad for me...
I have a Prem on order. Guessing they won't be produced for some weeks still.
Stolen from another thread...
Ugh, my distributor just sent me this from Stern:
As you have probably heard if you tune into global news, manufacturing all over the world is experiencing supply chain issues, and our company is no different. The ports along the West Coast are heavily backed up, congested, and causing delays. You can read about it here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/shipping-companies-look-at-sailing-away-from-choked-southern-california-gateways-11612802085
Based on our original schedule, we were hoping to have finished up Guardians Pro, Star Wars Pro and Star Wars Premium by last week, with Jurassic Park Premium beginning this week.
However, at this time we hope to begin GOTG PRO in the coming days, followed by Star Wars Pro and Premium. Jurassic Park Premium is TBD as we await missing parts (hopefully late next week). Star Wars Pin (Movie Art) should be on track for early next week, with Star Wars Comic Pin sliding to the 1st or 2nd week in April.
Thank you for your patience and we’ll reach out when games are ready.
Quoted from Phbooms:You know if i knew you in person id respect you alot for your loyalty! Just wanted to say that since you have waited for your game for so long when you could of taken your money elsewhere, your distributor in my mind should throw in free shaker and side blades for your inconvenience and loyalty!
My distro is an awesome guy. He is like 40 minutes away. He will deliver and set up my game at no extra charge. He has bought 2 games from me so far. This is my 1st purchase from him but I send him business any chance I get. Wanna build a good relationship with him. He feels terrible about the wait even though it's obviously not his fault. Wanna due my part to make sure he is around as long as possible!
I'm in like Flynn! Thanks to Troy @ Top Score Gamerooms LLC in Festus, MO!

Love the carpet!!!
Thanks! It glows super bright when the 8 4ft fluorescent blacklights are on!
Anyone ever remove the small screen on the playfield? Mine has a piece of debris on the actual led screen under the housing surrounding it. Wanna make sure the screen actually comes out of the housing before I try to remove it.
Quoted from Crispy77:nice to see you FINALLY got your Star Wars crujones4life!! enjoy!
Thanks! Was definitely worth the wait...I can't stop playing it!
Quoted from Phbooms:Did you turn mode stacking off? I would recommend it to keep the depth of the game and to get to experience each mode individually.
I haven't but I have been avoiding stacking them. Maybe I will turn it off to avoid the temptation...lol

I feel like I am getting some distortion or rattling from the speakers or maybe the sub with certain deep sounds...what volume do you guys have your game set to? Is there an equalizer of sorts? If so...anyone care to share their settings?
Edit-I don't have a shaker.
Quoted from Phbooms:I go into utilities, volume, then go to select audio filter and select none on all my Sterns. I have my volume at 10 but i also have external powered subwoofers on all my games that really helps bring out the sound. I tried 4 different subwoofers on Star Wars and found 8" subwoofers fit the lower frequencies of the game the best.
Ive had NIB backboard speakers from Stern show up blown with a crackle before. Contact Stern and tell them your games serial # and the issue and that its only a week old and they will take care of you im sure. Or buy some better speakers, my BKSOR has Rockfords in it and they sound alot fuller then stock Sterns.
You know I was really paying attention to the sound when playing tonight and I think the speakers are fine it is just a couple parts (like lightsaber duel) where the bass really rumbles. Not used to that on my older pins. I turned it down to 12 and I think it sounds great. I put it in DJ mode and played several pieces of music with the volume louder and the sound was great. Thanks for the info!
Sorry for all the posts but I have another question. During Hyperspace Multiball the ball sits under the Death Star for awhile before coming out unless I hit it...is that correct?
Quoted from SWfan:My auto plunger is a little off right now and usually hits the left target on the three-bank, but sometimes hits the middle and sometimes even glances off to the left of the left target. But when I manual plunge, it hits dead center on the 3-bank every time.
Does anyone know what adjustment needs to be made to the auto-plunger? I don’t think the trough or rail has any issues because the manual plunge is so spot-on...
P.s. I LOVE the Topper! The video in the post above is a little too focused on the issue he had initially with the unit that Stern corrected. I feel like it’s playing with a kind friend when R2 beeps and turns while I play...
Mine does this sometimes too. I guess just normal variance?
Quoted from crujones4life:Mine does this sometimes too. I guess just normal variance?
Ok so mine is missing the bank enough now to be annoying...is there a way to remedy this outside of manual plunging?
Edit...this is regarding button/auto plunge missing the 3 target bank.
I was playing escape from tatooine and tie fighter multiball started. I made a bunch of shots then escape from tatooine lit again (orange arrow and big light). I swung away with Lea as Luke. But no victory multiball and the mode was over even though still had tie fighter multiball...did I not finish the mode? Does it time out?
Quoted from tilt-master:Did the barge explode? That’s when it ends
I don't think so...so I guess I just suck?
There are 2 screws on the left ramp that aren't screwed into anything. I assume this is for the Millennium Falcon? I wonder was this originally designed to be included and then removed to save some monies? If I buy the original Stern Millennium Falcon does it just screw in there with those 2 screws? I am not big on mods but was considering the MF. Thanks!
Quoted from heyitsjoebob:If the rumors of Mandolorian is true, I doubt they make any more of these
Well June will be 4 years for this title to be in essentially continuous production.
Quoted from heyitsjoebob:If the rumors of Mandolorian is true, I doubt they make any more of these
They usually announce a last call...They haven't done that yet to my knowledge.
Quoted from RipleYYY:for those going (very) deep in the code, is the wizard mode becoming harder if you reach it with a 2nd hero ? and so on with the 3rd, and than the last !?
btw, did someone already succeed to make it 4 times to WM ??? i mean while playing normally
Damn you are a way better player than me!
Quoted from ralphwiggum:No mount... remove lower screw on ramp, slide falcon post through, and use the nut from the screw on the falcon post. There is a little L bracket on the falcon that snugs against the ramp to keep falcon from moving.
Falcon faces LCD when mounted.[quoted image]
Happen to have a link to this Falcon? Is it heavy? You think it causes stress to the ramp?
Hi! So I was playing tonight. Playing the Death Star mini wizard mode. Tie fighter multiball starts during Death Star mini wizard mode. I make all the shots to blow up the Death Star. Ball is not held in Death Star shot...Tie fighter multiball continues...drain to one ball...then drain...no Victory Multiball! Is that correct? That seems like a huge flaw in the code if Tie Fighter multiball overrides the other modes and leads to loss of Victory Multiball. Can anyone confirm this is the correct behavior? My strategy has been to bring Tie fighter multiball into the mini wizard modes as a safety net.
Destroy the Death Star: Multiball mode obtained for completing all three Death Star modes. In this multiball, shoot the ramps to light a timed shot at the Death Star. Shoot the Death Star *THREE TIMES* in total collect awards and eventually destroy the technological terror that the Empire has constructed. Completing this round will begin Victory Multiball; this is also a qualification for Jedi Multiball.
OK so I only did it once...
Han - Endor 1st
R2 - Death Star 1st
Leia - Tatooine 1st
Luke - Hoth 1st
Then stay alive as long as possible! My goal is usually just trying for a Victory Multiball and anything more is bonus. Going to be a long long time before I get to the Emperor I think.
Quoted from ray3127:Bumping this post from the bottom of previous page.
Same thing happened again tonight. Got to Emperor and won, then Extra Ball is permanently lit. Every time I hit the left ramp after with my second character it holds the ball and does the Extra Ball animation. But it only let me play 2 extra balls, I think.
Anyone heard of this?
I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this either. We may not get many more updates so please let Stern know if you are experiencing any bugs. This seems like a pretty big one. I discovered one in Maverick that happens very deep into the game and it sucks to know it will probably never be fixed. There is a Stern email for bug reporting but I don't know it offhand.
I know I'm in the minority but I like the Stern knock...lol.
Quoted from RipleYYY:near 2 weeks home, and 2nd visit to the wizard mode, this time trying to better use the multiplicator(s)
missed 2 (or 3 ?) big hyperspace hurry up, did well the overall rest, including a lightsaberduel at 2.2B and a jedi multiball at 2.8B...
fun is still there, and having games like this one did really push your adrenaline
[quoted image]
I don't know how you beat this pin already and twice! Are you ranked like top 10 in the world?
Quoted from pudealee:Anybody thinking about getting Mando?
Probably pick it up with my December bonus.
Quoted from pudealee:Be careful...

Lolololol...I would rage just like Clark too!

Quoted from Hoochoo:The old default of 5 is probably the fairest but if you don't stack missions then maybe a 4.
Curious as to what the setting is called for this in the menu? I hate when replays levels, extra balls levels, etc are increased automatically.
Can you guys (with a Pro) check your up post on the left clear ramp. Does it sit off to the side like this? It seems like it doesn't line up but also doesn't seem to hit the ramp when it pops up...Is this normal? If not does anyone know if the post mech is adjustable?
20210515_165744 (resized).jpg20210515_165827 (resized).jpgQuoted from bajm:I'd go into test mode and see if the post is hitting the ramp when in the up position. If so, I'd look at the mech under the playfield and see if you can unscrew the mount a bit and move it slightly to the right to center it better. Good luck!
I did that a few times and it doesn't seem like it's hitting it. I will look under the playfield and see if it can be moved relatively easily. Thanks!
Quoted from NightTrain:Hey guys. Haven’t read a lick of this thread. Don’t know much about the premium and the comic art premium. Is Stern still kicking these out? I really like the look of the comic art Premium. Would love to grab one.
When did the comic art version come out?
Also, are you digging this game? I’ve played the pro and was underwhelmed. Does the premium bring much more to the table? The game could be amazing, hard to judge with the little play I’ve had on it. I’ve been wrong many times before. Thoughts?
New Pro and Premium models are still being made with Original Art. Comic art was retired.
Quoted from NightTrain:Was the comic art just a small limited run then?
Limited by time and not by number. Certainly way fewer exist than original art.
Anyone have a manual or access to part numbers? I want to order an extra sheet of decals for stand-up targets and drops. Thanks! ** SW Pro **
Quoted from LeMansFan:Looked through my manual and these are the only mentions of decals I could find.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Awesome thanks very much!
Quoted from LeMansFan:I lied, there is this too:
Maybe playfield decals is what you’re after?
[quoted image]
Yes this is it! Thanks again!
Quoted from Hoochoo:Every machine has their minor differences but all Star Wars pins (at least after tweaking) should be capable of backhanding from a cradle position the Left Orbit, the Death Star with Ramp Up and the Right Ramp.
Backhand the left orbit? Can anyone do this?
Quoted from MrMikeman:All modded up and in the lineup. Really liking the mirror blades. Stole someone else’s idea and put the topper plaque on the speaker panel.
[quoted image]
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Where did you get those side rails?
Quoted from Second2Noone:"Might be hard though"??
Those side rail do look very nice. Question: I noticed that in one pic, "may the force be with you" appears to be illuminated (green). Very nice! But in the second or bottom pic, the words appear white or not "lite" at all? And at the vendors website, they make no mention of lighting. How were you able to do that?
I am curious about that too. Blacklight on in 1st pic (green) and off in 2nd pic (white)?
Quoted from gorditas:I didn't think you could adjust coil strength in this game. It skips over where those adjustments typically are in other stern machines.
I wondered about this too. Didn't see any options for coil strength.
Quoted from MrMikeman:Also wish the adjustment to prevent starting a game from the action button was there like in other Sterns. Sick and tired of unintentional game starts.
I'm pretty sure that is an option...

Anyone else feel like this game has made them a better player? I am putting up higher scores on my other games now and they all seem slower...lol.
Looks great! Links for Millennium Falcon and Star Destroyer? How are they mounted? Under what circumstances does the Millennium Falcon light up?
Quoted from shovelhed:Still looking for the pin worlds mods (pro) version. Any help much appreciated.
Such a badass mod.
Quoted from CoachBacca:Hey considering getting a Comic Pro/or Premium when I move into my new house for the family. I have read a few different things here on Pinside and I am not completely sure where to go for my answers so I figured here would be as good of a place to ask my questions as any. Does anyone know if they making more of the comic book versions of this pin? I would prefer the Premium but I keep seeing that it is "retired" and most people who have them are holding on to them. Do we know for sure there will not be any more made on one last run or something of that nature? I am seeing some differing information regarding the pro with some people saying that there will be one more run of comic book pros and some saying there will not be. Anyone know for sure anything about the pros? Thanks for your help and sorry if these questions may have been answered already.
Comic Pro and Comic Premium were officially retired. There will not be any more made. Anyone who ends up with a NIB Comic at this point is buying leftover stock from the previous production runs. There maybe a handful left. Maybe. If you prefer the Comic art just keep an eye out for a used one.
Quoted from CoachBacca:Any reasons as to why it was such a limited run? I thought they sold better than the original movie versions?
Only Stern knows for sure. If it had sold better than the original art I am sure they would still be in production...I actually much prefer the movie art as the game is based on the original movie trilogy. The comic art on its own is pretty cool (except the weird font) but when coupled with the movie scenes on the LCD...it doesn't work together in my opinion.
Lots of questions guys...sorry..
1. When scrolling through the instant info I noticed part of this image is really fuzzy. Is that normal?
2. Also every once in a while (probably a handful of times in 400 games) 2 balls will be in the shooter lane. I can't remember if it was after a multiball ended or what but anyone ever notice this?
3. I have some ships and figures I might add to my game. I bought some 20 gauge wire from craft store. That should work right?
4. Sometimes when moving my multiplier during a cut scene (mode start) the sound cuts out from the scene. Is that the intended effect of pressing action button or flipper during a cut scene?
Quoted from ausretrogamer:I replaced the stock Stern balls (before i played my first game) with Carbon Steel balls to ensure they do not magnetise. No issues with several hundred plays so far.
Can the balls magnetize in Star Wars even without magnets? I am using the stock balls.

[quoted image]
Really interested about this screen. It's the only screen that is fuzzy in quick info.
Quoted from Phbooms:The info screen does the same fuzzy look on my game. I think it's intended to look that way. When you switch info screens each time every page goes fuzzy for a fraction of a second. It's suppose to probably look like in the movies how the Rebels computers look.
Makes sense...thanks for looking into it!
Quoted from crujones4life:Thanks for the ideas guys. I will report back.
I removed all of the balls and checked to make sure they weren't magnetized. I pulled and reced ed the opto connectors. I cleaned the optos. I checked the shooter lane switch and it is tight and functioning correctly. When I did a switched test everything seemed to be working but as the problem is intermittent I don't think that would be helpful in this situation anyway. So how high do you guys have your trough kick out coil set to? I dropped mine all the way down to 176 which is the lowest setting to help prevent sugar lane wear. Could that be the issue? I raised it up to 200 last night and didn't have a problem but I only played a handful of games. Does anyone have their setting at the lowest Number which is 176 and not have a problem?
Quoted from Phbooms:I do the same thing, turn the trough down all the way before any balls played on all Stern NIBs. I find I usually end up between 185-200 cause of the ball not cleanly making it into the lane at the lowest setting so that very well could of been your issue all along. Ill check mine today see where i have it set.
Edit update- well I just checked mine and it's at 176 and no issues
Thanks very much for looking into it. I appreciate your time. I sent Pablo an email. We will see what he says.
Quoted from RipleYYY:nice ! and see, as said, nothing impossible
how was the game, did you remind what you have done and/or score big ?
Was super intense...I was shaking! Yeah I save all my scores on Pinside.
Also, regarding my issue with 2 balls in the shooter lane...Stern is sending me a new pair of trough opto boards.
Quoted from RipleYYY:no lol, i mean, in that game, what have you done to score big ? video mode in X40 ? hyperspace in X40 ? victory lap(s) ?
2 Victory Multiballs (including Hoth for 1st time). 3 mini wizards complete. Won the Lightsaber Duel, Hyperspace Multiball up to 4 balls, and 202 Tie Fighters. Had an end of ball bonus of over 1 billion! Definitely hit a couple 40x shots. It was seriously the most epic game of pinball I have ever experienced!
Quoted from Phbooms:Whos your guys favorite character to use recently? Ive been using Leia as I like her Hoth missions the best and feel shes the hardest to use. Game has been making me come back more and more recently!
I rotate through them all consistently. My scores per character in order are:
Han
R2-D2
Luke
Leia
Quoted from Phbooms:Mine are same except flip R2 and Han. Really Luke has the most missions I think but Leia for some reason it just abit more challenging. I like the missions that are certain characters only like Leias Hoth mission or Lukes Rancor missions, both use the LCD on playfield perfectly also which I really enjoy.
I love Rancor. Which Hoth is unique for Leia? Any other unique missions? I think Luke has unique Endor mission. I need to pay closer attention.
Quoted from Phbooms:I have perfect plays on mine but i think stock rubbers would work best to keep them from jumping the best. Maybe ill throw a set on this weekend and give them a try.
I have factory rubber. The ball has hopped over the flipper once in almost 500 games.
Quoted from pudealee:I do the same, and use distinctive initials (name) for any high scores I get. That way I can sort of keep track with how well I do with each "hero."
That's a good idea. I wish the game kept track of that.

Quoted from Munsters: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.
Quoted from Munsters:I mean decals for ramps stern never make those
Wouldn't hurt to ask them! Pablo has been awesome in helping me out.
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.
Quoted from Meri-cah: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?
Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op: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.
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!
Quoted from finnflash:Mine does not do that. Unless I cut him off before he can finish talking.
I never cut Yoda off. It has happened a hand full of times or so. Usually when the bonus countdown is short and on ball 3. "Try" gets cut off. On balls 1 and 2 sometimes "try" is spoken as the next ball is starting. No one else has noticed this? Version 1.10
Quoted from finnflash:Is that the only phrase he is saying?
No just the only one that gets cut off...I guess it's the longest phase he says.
Quoted from Munsters:I mean decals for ramps stern never make those
Just got my decal set. It has every decal in the game including the ramps.
Edit: no spinner decal, looks like everything else is here though.
Quoted from D-Gottlieb:Where can I find the oem sticker set?
Have your distributor (or any distributor if you haven't used one) order it for you. You can't buy directly from Stern.

Quoted from ray3127:Any tips for securing the stickers pictured here? Both fell off last game, and it is becoming more and more routine. The stickers still seem to have a lot of stick to them, but they don't last too long before coming off.
Still fairly new to pinball and I don't want to mess anything up. I do have the set of back-up stickers that came with the game, but I don't want to burn them just yet (only had the game 6 months). Any other options/suggestions?
[quoted image]
Several of mine were coming loose too. I used this. Zero problems since. Awesome stuff!
Edit...dammit. Just so you know I am talking about the transfer tape and not Broke Back Mountain! I hate my brother...

I didn't realize the pin came with extra decals. Were they in the goodie bag? If yours is already opened would you mind posting pictures of everything inside? I am curious to know what is included.
Quoted from D-Gottlieb:Browsing on Marco's site says not available. But that's what phones are for, I suppose.
I would ask your distributor. It will be cheaper than Marco if they sell it to you at cost. $46.34 for decal set plus $20 for shipping. That is Sterns distributor pricing.
Quoted from ray3127:Jk... No extra decals. Just these extra plastics. Must have been another game I'm thinking of with decals.
Thank you for the help on the tape![quoted image]
Thank you!

Quoted from frood1168:I have a gameplay question. I've had my SW premium for about three months now. I've tried to find this info in rules, and on the forums and webs, and tried to figure out from gameplay as well, but nothing explains it that I could find:
1) The "escape" lane activates after the second round of force targets. What determines when it deactivates? Sometimes I go in, and it makes one sound, and it stays active. Other times, I hear a different sound, and it deactivates. I tried to pay attention to as many things as I could but was not able to figure out how to keep it active. Is it random, or something else?
2) The three shot multiplier lanes... They sometimes drop to two, or even one. I can't figure out what triggers that. As suggested for the less nimble players, I keep it set at hyperspace/left horseshoe, left ramp, and then right horseshoe. All lighted green. Every time I go to video mode, I don't get the multiplier -- like it went down to two active lanes. I have to move the active lane over at least one, but usually I have been moving it to the right horseshoe to get the multiplier if I'm going to do video mode.
Thanks!
Regarding number 2. As your multiplier increases the number of lanes decreases from 3 to 2 to 1. When this happens (at what multiplier level it occurs) depends on the character. R2-D2 will keep 3 multiplier lanes active the longest (with the highest relative multiplier).
Quoted from Hoochoo:That 3B bonus score! How did that happen in a 5.9B score game? That is crazy good!
I had a massive bonus on my 1st ball then I was awarded hold bonus as a mystery award and I kept picking hold bonus for my skill shot.
Quoted from RipleYYY:my friend, to not let you enjoying alone, here's my tonight "training" with the 4 heros beating the emperor again, with Han
and what a mess while i really cant play with Leia (neither some exceptions)...
[quoted image]
Absolutely incredible scores! I can't wait to make it to the Emperor!
Quoted from Crispy77:Had this SW premium 7 and a half months and only the 2nd time making it to the emperor and 1st time beating him!! 5 ball, no stacking, han solo. got 2 billion on jedi multiball!!
This game really gets your heart rate up and adrenaline going when you're having a great game!
[quoted image]
Beast! No doubt this pin gets the blood pumping!
Quoted from cmdestin:So left orbit shot is draining every time. Looked to see if I could adjust metal on the right side when the ball shoots out. No luck. Any advice?
Rub your fingertip across the metal guide at the end of the orbit on the right side. If you feel a little bump file it down. The ball smashes into that guide and causes a little burr to form. It's enough to send the ball right between the flippers.
Quoted from cmdestin:So left orbit shot is draining every time. Looked to see if I could adjust metal on the right side when the ball shoots out. No luck. Any advice?
I just bought a 6 piece mini file set from Lowe's for $4. A dozen or so gentle passes across the burr on the rail and no more loss ball from the orbit down the middle. Do a couple passes and check with your finger if smooth. Repeat until burr is gone.
Quoted from Astropin:I'm in:

Wow your serial number is real close to mine. Got mine 3/31 and it was made 3/29. Did you buy from a distributor with stock (so you weren't waiting for it)?
FB_IMG_1617141390613 (resized).jpgQuoted from zatname:Hi all! Looking at the pinsiders who own the Standard art Premium/LE compared to the Comic art Premium (which I own) I'm wondering why Sales were so low on comic art???
Much lower production numbers on the Comic Art. Star Wars has been in constant production since 2017. Comic Art only ran from 2019 to 2020. I actually much prefer the Movie Art and chose it over the Comic Art. Not to say the Comic Art is bad...it's not (besides the weird font) it just doesn't fit with the movie scenes as well...IMO of course.

Quoted from Monk:Looks like mine was right before yours:
[quoted image]
Nice! You just get yours? Congrats and enjoy!
Quoted from Monk:Delivered yesterday. Enjoying to so far. The family seems to like it a lot as well, which is a bonus.
Had mine since 3/31/21. It is my favorite pin ever. Really gets the adrenaline flowing during a good/intense game. My high score is 5+billion but never reached the Emperor. The game is fast and mean. If you are a big Star Wars fan I would recommend spending some time with Mando as well. Super fun.
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:Anyone know if this was ever fixed? I looked through the 1.10 readme and did not see it acknowledged.
Xaqery this has been observed by a few of us. Possible to address with the insider update? Although I know the answer is no I'm still going to ask for Midnight Madness!
Quoted from TouchingEvil:Are we gonna get anothwr update on the code or is it done?
Dwight said there were no plans to update the code. That was before Stern Insider though. Really wish we could get one more update...Midnight Madness!
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:So, tonight I tried to recreate this bug in 1.10. It seems very particular. I entered Escape from Tatooine, then started Tie Fighter mb and could not get Hyperspace hurry up going at all. Tie Fighter locks it out.
OK, start over. Start Escape from Tatooine, get the first shot of Hyperspace hurryup (2nd one that leads to multiball), then start Tie Fighter mb (before collecting the Hyperspace mb), then shoot they Deathstar shot to lock the Hyperspace mb ball. Then that ball is never coming out until all others drain.
I tried the same combo with Destroy the Deathstar mini wiz mode and as soon as Tie Fighter mb starts, the previously blinking hyperspace hurry up that had already started, went away.
So, I think this MAY be a bug that only happens when these particular circumstances happen on top of Escape from Tatooine or it's subsequent Victory mb.
Gonna test more tomorrow. I'm wiped.
EDIT: This is a Pro. I don't believe the Prem/LE has this issue since it eventually would kick out of the Hyperspace loop, but not sure.
Thanks for doing this. Xaqery is it possible to look into this for the next and possibly final update? Aaaaannnd Midnight Madness!
Quoted from EmptyLogic:great find - thanks for the share - those are a no brainer on Ghostbusters - Where have people found replacement drop target decals for Star Wars?
I had to order an entire decal set from Stern.
Dwight asked for specific steps and I sent him this:
Ok I was just able to recreate the bug 1st try.
1. Choose any character (I chose Luke) and start a game.
2. Collect one Hyperspace Hurry-up.
3. Get close to Tie Fighter Multiball (say about 30).
4. Start Escape from Tatooine mini wizard mode.
5. Start the hyperspace hurryup but do not collect it yet. (This step took me some time as I don't know what lights the Hyperspace Hurry-up...I just kept throwing the ball around)
6. Start Tie Fighter Multiball.
7. Collect Hyperspace Hurry-up. Hyperspace Multiball will start. (Now that ball is locked and cannot be released until every other ball drains and it is the only ball left in play).
Hopefully he can squash this bug!
P.S. He did say Midnight Madness wasn't going to happen and that any future updates (if any) would most likely be limited to bug fixes. But hey, the game is damn near perfect as is!
Quoted from LeMansFan:What is Midnight Madness???
Sweet ass mode that Dwight sometimes programs into his pins. At midnight in real time the game stops, balls drain, Midnight Madness Multiball mode begins! Was in earlier code (pre 1.0).
Quoted from DavidCPA:Does anyone have a copy of that code with Midnight Madness?
Need to be careful with old code as one of the early versions of code was taking out node boards if I remember correctly. I am sure it's in this thread somewhere. I don't remember/know how many versions of the code had Midnight Madness. What's weird is that I am pretty sure Midnight Madness Champion is still listed in the game (if not now it was in a recent version).

Quoted from bemmett:Hey all, just got my game back from friend I had swapped with for awhile and noticed the plastic on the left ramp had snapped off it appears. I haven't been able to locate this part anywhere but without it just constant ball rejects on the left ramp as it hits the remaining piece of plastic behind it. If anyone knows source to obtain this? Attached picture for reference. I contacted Stern but haven't heard back yet. Thanks in advance![quoted image]
I'd send Stern a weekly email until they respond. Be courteous and patient and they will take care of you.
Quoted from Looking4FirstPin:Does anyone want a set of Stern art blades? I just installed a set and have the 4 left over. I’d sell these four for $40 if you’re interested.

//]]>... I often feel like I am the only one that likes the original art and doesn't care for the comic version ... I'm not right in the head though .
Original art is better in my opinion. I had choice of both when I bought mine and chose original art. The font on the Comic Art is whack.
Quoted from njvc:Best go yet. Played as Leia, had one shot left to defeat the emperor and choked. Now young Skywalker, I will die... I'll get you next time, old man!
[quoted image]
Holy shit man that's a serious score! Well done!
Quoted from njvc:Thanks, but can't believe I failed at the last hurdle! Oh well, gives me something to keep aiming for. The final shot was the Hoth ramp too, easiest in the game. Failed, I have...
Well my high score is just under 6 billion and I've never even made it to the Emperor... 
Quoted from njvc:4.5 billion of this score was bonuses. Chose hold bonus whenever possible! And I hear you re the emperor, this is the only time I've faced him. Escape From Boba Fett usually brings me undone.
Hold bonus is huge! That's how I got my high score.

Quoted from dapperdan24:This helps, thank you! Part of my sadness would be losing the comic art as I think it makes the machine. Premium comics are too steep a price difference, but I could upgrade to the standard art without much pain. If gameplay isn't changing a terrible lot, I'll probably just stick with the pro (for a long time as I LOVE this pin lol).
Gameplay really doesn't change at all as when the ball is in the hyperloop your just watching it/them fly around. Very cool certainly...but these games play largely the same.

Question for people with shaker motors who have played at least several hundred games with shaker installed. Anything ever shake loose? Need to retighten screws? Solder joints become flaky or crack? Any negatives at all? Who sells the weakest shaker? Also, during what parts of the game does it shake?
Quoted from gorditas:0 problems this far on my premium.
What parts of the game does it shake on?
Quoted from F-2NIRO:Hi there, i can't stand the noise of the motor of my R2D2 topper anymore.
I will try to make improvements but I cannot open it.
I thought that drilling a hole will allow me to open it but in fact, no, any solutions ?
Sorry for french video
OMG! I cannot believe you just put a drill bit through a $2000 topper! 
Quoted from firebrand007:Hello everyone, I'd tried my luck with a question a few months ago but will re-post as I'm unfortunately still getting very frustrating moments in the game.
Basically nearly all the time when I send fast balls to the left outer Orbit, it comes back straight between the flippers.
Extending my right flipper doesn't help catching it usually.
Is there something I could adjust on the playfield to help with that ? Some issue with the side to side or front to back level of the playfield ? (doesn't seem to be the case with the phone app I'm using)
Thanks in advance !

Quoted from ticktockman:Still haven't found a solution to my problem. About a month after getting my SW COMIC PREMIUM, whenever you open the coin door and then close it you get node board errors and only half the playfield
turns on. Turn it off and back on, still has the same problem. However, if you unplug the machine and let it sit 15 minutes and try it again, everything works fine.
This is not anectdotal because it happens like this every single time.
You buy it new? Have you contacted your distro or Stern? That's where I would start.

Quoted from Jamwin:That’s a good suggestion, I have the leaf switch tool so all good there. Just weird you can’t adjust it like the newer sterns but i guess it’s a new feature. Thx man
Yeah it's weird I thought all Spike 2 games would have adjustable slings, flippers, etc...Maybe it could be added? Xaqery
Quoted from PoMC:Picked up a Pro today, still running .94 code from 2017.
No key to the backbox and it is not a Stern lock. Can drill it out of course. Instead, I bought a lock picking kit and will try that for shits and grins.
Once accessible, then will update to 1.10 and experiment with updated audio or video.
[quoted image]
Before you update!!! Play some Midnight Madness (I think it's in there on that code) and record it!!!
Quoted from gweempose:Why did they get rid of it?
Midnight Madness. A special multiball mode that would kick in at midnight. Shows the Cantina Band playing music on the screen during this mode. So cool!
Quoted from Rum-Z:I suspect it was due to lack of Disney approval for the mode, or something pertaining to the mode. I'm sure Dwight knows, but he may not be at liberty to say. I wish it was still there.
Yeah I have asked Dwight a few times about it. He said it's not coming back no how no way...never. He was very clear about it. Most unfortunate. I wish someone could do a custom code and just add it into the most recent code...
Quoted from freddy:Pomc
Maybe you can save the midnight madness for the rest of us!
Is there a way to copy and preserve this version of the code?
Quoted from PoMC:EDIT - Midnight Madness was already removed by .94 code, so I do not have it.
Nooooooooooo!
Quoted from Kobaja:Fpr Premium/LE I have the 0.89 code and the 0.93 code on my harddrive. Note that there was a possibility of killing the fork ramp on early code. But if you want to have a copy, I'll put it up for download for you. Only request in return is a clear and nice video of Midnight Madness.
I have a Pro...or I would!
Quoted from PoMC:So this is some fun information to dive into from a Star Wars Pro that was on location all its life. Also been running the same .94 code it shipped with, so these are all accurate Audits with no resets. Tell you what, the game looks fantastic and you'd think it wouldn't based on all the balls played. I needed to shop it for sure and get some elbow grease on to the dirty playfield, but looks brand new.
These audits also show what a damn difficult this game can be if you don't practice what Yoda preaches....Patience. Trap up, make your shot. Was just learning the multiplier feature and now that I've picked the lock, version 1.10 is writing to an SD card. Will be fun to notice the changes for sure.

Quoted from heyitsjoebob:I tried to do this with some electric rock guitar cover songs I found. This process is SUPER hard, I applaud your work. I'd totally install this if I didn't feel like a new update is coming any day now to support the Insider Connect and may add/fix things like they have done with some of the other games.
Seriously! Where is our update?!
Edit...seems Dwight has been busy. Munsters got another update tonight.
Quoted from PoMC:What if I told you that the latest version of my code has midnight madness working?
30 second mark
https://photos.app.goo.gl/3ytStavnbj5aGdyNA
Dude! How?! Please post a link to the code! Please!
Edit- Is this a modified 1.10? Amazing either way!
Quoted from PoMC:What’s funny is, I had made some changes to the 1.10 code and forgot I made the changes. Late this afternoon I was playing a few games and trying some strategies based on the earlier of 15 billion point video up above.
Suddenly the flippers die, everything dies, the screen goes dark. I’m like what the fuck? This hasn’t happened before. What did I do? (Game time was not accurate and way off and right at “midnight”)
Than the magic happened, and I was like oh yeah I forgot I did that. Awesome!
It’s going to take me some time, but I am going to make a version for all the original and comic art versions, along with the attract mode updates and balls save changes.
You are a fecking legend!

Anyone ever do a straight up stock 1.10 just adding midnight madness (no additions or changes to music or videos) yet for Pro?
Quoted from Hop721:Hi everyone! New member of the club here (Pro model). I love this game: Theme, assets, layout, code…just amazing. One question-where should a left orbit shot land when exiting the right orbit? Left or right flipper? Mine is going SDTM lol
Everything else is dialed in and it’s SO frustrating when I drain on that shot. Love the forum and thanks in advance for any help!!!
Rub your finger along the end of the metal guide on the exit for the right orbit. You will feel a little metal burr. It is caused by the balls smashing into the guide. Take a metal file and slowly/carefully file the burr off. Do a couple passes and check. Repeat until smooth.
Quoted from livetowin:Giving some thoughts to upgrading from the pro to a premium on the run later this year. Thoughts on if this is worth it as I’m still back and forth on it.
Here is how I feel about Pro vs Premium in general. I buy Pro because of the massive savings. SW and Mando. I don't play location pinball (none around me). None of my close friends/family have pinball machines. So for me, my Pros may as well be the only versions of the games because I won't ever have a chance to play the Premium models. Ignorance may be bliss in this situation. The Hyperloop looks cool sure. You know what's not cool? The many posts I have read about problems people have with the Hyperloop. Pros have less moving parts, less mechs, less problems. People will say fixing and adjusting shit is part of pinball. It is to a certain extent. You know what I like doing more that adjusting and fixing shit? Playing pinball. I could buy Premiums if I wanted. I'd rather save a couple thousand and save myself some potential headaches down the road.
Quoted from Hop721:I’ll do that this evening. Thank you! So, just to be clear, it sounds like it should exit to the right flipper?
Yes.
Quoted from Enron64:Hi all, have an opportunity to trade my mando premium for a Star Wars premium. I haven’t played a Sw premium but have played a pro and enjoyed it. I have LZ premium as well and absolutely love it. I like Steve ritchies designs as they flow well and have speed. To those of you who have played both mando and Star Wars premiums what are your thoughts on both games?
I have both games as Pros. Love them both but if I have to choose, I choose SW.
Quoted from Jediturtle:I totally respect peoples preferences, but I will always have a hard time figuring out how the hyperloop can change someones opinion significantly on the entire game. How you can go from hating it to loving it based on one gimmick just doesn't make sense to me. It's literally just a track that the ball zooms around. Really no different than the supercharger on Getaway. You do not interact with it in any way other than loading it when lit. Yes, it's a cool gimmick, but I do not understand how it is a game changer. The only way it actually CHANGES the game is for the worse by taking a super smooth shot and making it more difficult and more likely to reject. The only way it makes sense to me for someone to go from hating a pro to loving a premium on this one is if the pro was set up poorly and the premium was well tweaked and playing perfectly. SW can be very sensitive to set up and can take a good amount of tweaking to play perfect. So I could definitely see someone hating one that isn't set up well and tweaked.
Don't get me wrong...I know I'm in the minority and must be missing something. And I'm also happy for the people that love it because of the hyperloop. This is 100% just my opinion. I'm glad people have the choice so they can pick the one they prefer.
I agree 100% with this. I can see preference for the Premium if you want/like the hyperloop. But when someone says Pro sucks and Premium is awesome...wut?!
Quoted from marioparty34:You need to flash your SD card with the image.
I have had success with https://www.balena.io/etcher/?
Others use windisk32
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
You can use either. It's easy. Good luck.
Is what I am pointing to the image that gets flashed to the SD card? Sorry, I am not good with this kind of stuff.
Quoted from Schaitas:Good to know!!..thanks for the info!
but how do we know it has been retired? Why couldn't they produce more next year?
It is widely known at this point that no more comic editions will be made for Pros and Premiums. You may still be able to get a SW Pin Comic Art.

This update was a big disappointment for me. I had a long back and forth with Dwight months ago about a hyperspace multiball bug...and it wasn't addressed. Dwight is awesome and usually very attentive to his games. I hope another update follows soon with additional bug fixes and polish. Man I was so excited...then I opened the read me.
Edit...anyone else disappointed with this update? Please Dwight, give us some bug fixes at least! Xaqery
Quoted from Crispy77:@crujones, I doubt we will see another SW update.
has anyone tried to see if midnight madness can still be unlocked with the new code? I'm reluctant to try it because I have a great custom v1.10. If anyone would like to know how to unlock it on v1.10, shoot me a pm. (it requires pinball browser, '10 class' 8 gig+ SD card, and a computer that can write to SD cards).
I dunno...Munsters had a couple updates recently. If Munsters can get some love certainly Star Wars can!

Quoted from MikeS:Thanks. That's different from what I was looking for but I'll keep it in mind if I get airballs on those shots.
These are what I'm looking for. I know I can get them if I order the full plastic set, but I probably don't need them that badly. I may reach out to a distributor and see if it's possible to just order the clear plastic portion of the set from Stern.[quoted image]
Distro is way to go. Call them with part numbers you need.
Star Wars has to be one of the highest selling pins of all time for modern day Stern. It has been ran for 5 years. It is in like every arcade that has pins. I don't know that Stern ever retires Star Wars while Spike 2 is their system of choice.

Quoted from ticktockman:5 ball is not valid.
Of course it is, when compared against other 5 ball scores.
Quoted from Ecw0930:Why do the bonus X lights start to disappear?
You start with 3. It goes to 2. Then to 1.
Then comes back to 3. I think it comes back to 3 when it resets back to 2x.
Thanks.
As your bonus multiplier increases the Xs decrease from 3 to 2 to 1. R2 keeps higher number of Xs longer (with a higher multiplier) than other characters.
Quoted from firebrand007:Any tips on managing to send the ball to the left orbit ? I'm playing a Pro and have trouble shooting the orbits when I have to do it for the boba Fett mode for example.
Orbits are tough on mine too. Right orbit harder than the left.
Quoted from Ecw0930:When I hit the flippers before plunge I get points. Usually 10 points.
What's up with that?
You need to adjust the 10 point switch to not be so sensitive. Either adjust the rubber or the switch itself of necessary. Just north of the Force drops on the left side. When hit it should make a random sound effect (like Vader breathing).
Quoted from WildRover:Just in case anyone is looking!

How does this amazing pin pass through 2 owners with only 115 plays?!
Quoted from finnflash:I would imagine code updates
Yeah, possibly depending on build date. Mine was built 3/31/21 and by then you couldn't reset the total games played.
Quoted from Ecw0930:I feel like you're mocking me. hahahaha
The 10 point switch?
However it kind of makes sense bc I replaced the force targets with clear drops and a light kit so I was messing around in that area for a couple days.
Just north of the targets there's a switch that does that? Is it in the switch tests? I'll check it out! Thank you.
Lol...not mocking you brother.

***Last call (final run) for Star Wars is this August! If you have been waiting, now is your last chance for a NIB!
Screenshot_20220713-162043_Email (resized).jpgQuoted from PocketHoleshot:If you look lower in the newsletter it says "Only run of 2022" for Star Wars, implying its not the final run. Not sure which is accurate.[quoted image]
I wouldn't chance it if you want a NIB!
Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. The theme integration with movie scenes and music is the best that has ever been done IMO. My favorite pin ever. Yes it is an be difficult. Some games I might score 100,000,000 but my high score is over 5 billion. The mini wizard modes are reasonably attainable. So many ways to play with different characters and different paths. Love it!
Quoted from Schwaggs:Great point on the theme integration. I especially love the Darth Vader VS and escape from Boba Fett modes.
Lightsaber Duel!!!
Quoted from D-Gottlieb:I have had mine since 18 and love it. About to get a Mando Pre to go next to it.
Yes! They look good together!
20210902_172832 (resized).jpgThere is a little metal burr that forms on the guide on the orbit exit on the right side. Run your finger along that metal guide, you will feel it. Carefully file off that burr. No more SDTM.
Quoted from ticktockman:File it off? How?
With a metal file. I bought a set of mini files for like $10 at lowes. Just do 1 pass at a time and recheck with your finger. Doesn't take much.
This is what I bought.
https://www.lowes.com/pd/KD-Tools-6-Piece-Mini-File-Set/1000972350
Quoted from Tommy_Pins:Worked like a charm, now I can safely shoot the left orbit.
The right orbit is a little wonky tho. The rubber at the end, near the spinner can move the ball a little bit at the last second. The rubber seems to have a switch behind it, anyone know what the switch is for?
10 point switch. Makes cool sounds like Vader breathing, R2 rtooing...
Quoted from Tommy_Pins:Just added the Stern millennium falcon. I’m not much of a mod guy but this should’ve been included from the factory. It’s such a bare spot on the playfield. I made a quick bracket out of lexan with a scroll saw and it plugs right in.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Where did you get the Stern Millinneum Falcon? Do you have the part number? Also, got a pic of your bracket?
Quoted from Tommy_Pins:I got mine from little shop of games, link below. It’s Stern part number 511-7887-00. I think it’s a little pricey but I couldn’t find it anywhere else. I’ll get a picture of the bracket tomorrow.

Awesome! Thanks!
Quoted from tbanthony:I love Star Wars and enjoyed this machine for a few years but I'm planning to exit the club and get a Godzilla Premium (despite the potential 18 month wait). I jump in and out of pinball a bit so I tend to lose touch with pricing given the craziness of the last few years. What's an appropriate sales price for a 2016 Star Wars Premium HUO (2nd owner) that has low plays and in excellent/mint condition -- other than minor normal playfield ball dimpling. It has some minor aesthetic upgrades (can be uninstalled) including the common addition of a Imperial Star Destroyer, plus a couple tie fighters, asteroids, Slave 1 and a after market sound card for hooking up a subwoofer. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I'd say $7500 to $7700 depending on location and how fast of a sale you are looking for. I personally think it should be selling for more (and it will once it goes out of production).
Quoted from gliebig:I'd say keep SW. It's a much better pin imo.
I concur. It's me favorite.
Quoted from lowbeau67:I've got the comic pro edition and it's beautiful
I know this sounds crazy but I play my older
pins more but I'll never sell this because
it is such a strong link to my 10 year old self back
in 1977.
When it's on and I'm playing i go back in time...some
powerful shit man[quoted image]
I have the same banner!
20211112_183938 (resized).jpgQuoted from rockrand:The pro is still great game
The pro is a phenomenal game!
So it appears every single Spike 2 pin just got a code update. Star Wars is now at 1.21. Mostly just a bunch of insider stuff. Still no bug fixes...help me Dwightbewon Kenobe, you're my only hope!
Quoted from mpsa:when they came out with insider connected didn't they say the kit would include the apron for machines that needed it at no price difference?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did.
Quoted from demandecan55:Do we know if they will make any more Comic Art Premiums? Thanks!
No sir. Original "movie art" only.

My favorite game ever. It can be brutal sure. But then you will have a great game and what a rush! This a rare pin that I never get tired of. I usually play several games in a row when I play. Once I get a decent score or to a mini wizard mode or 2 I am content for the day.

Extra Ball for 100 Tie Fighters. Extra Ball from pops award. Extra Ball from mystery scoop. Extra Ball from completing a set number of missions. 4 Extra Balls per game under standard settings.
Quoted from vikingerik:Has anyone heard of a Pro model coming in yet? I have one on order but no news, are they going to skip straight from SW Premium to 007?
Some distros have had some Pros for sure. Not sure if still on the line or in the queue for this month again.
Quoted from vikingerik:Has anyone heard of a Pro model coming in yet? I have one on order but no news, are they going to skip straight from SW Premium to 007?
Check with Mad Pinball. They have some SW Pros available as of a few hours ago.
Quoted from Ecw0930:You're missing one. I get an extra ball for a score too but I can't remember what it is. It usually happens right around 100 tie fighters.
At least I think I do. Hahaha
Extra Ball shouldn't be awarded for score by default. Definitely an option though.

Quoted from coloradodan:Talk me down!
I'm considering selling my Star Wars Comic Art Premium to get the new Bond table. I love Star Wars and the comic art premium is freaking BEAUTIFUL. But I don't play it as much as I used to after getting Godzilla.
Will I regret it? They're not making more comic arts (and I hate the non-comic version art-wise in comparison). In contrast (to my Godzilla pin), Star Wars is a much "simpler" game with less mechs, and more straighforward old-school pinball. And its freaking beautiful.
Anyways, I'm considering swapping it out, and thought I'd get some opinions from the SW club!
You'll have 2 to 5 years to buy Bond. Play it a bunch 1st.
Quoted from ChipScott:That's what I use to make most of my mounts for mods these days. I am able to pick a small sheet of that up at my local Lowe's.
I usually will make a pin drawing on the plastic covering of the general shape I want, then cut that out with a Dremel. I'll then clean the edges up with that Dremel and then sandpaper to get the edges smooth. Then holding it steady on a flat surface, ill drill the hole such that it can secure to the desired post/nut. I've had great success with this method.
It's a bit crude (and I'm sure there are better ways) but in areas that are hidden to the eye (because this technique can tint/darken the plastic area), once you have your shaped plastic, if you hold a lighter about 4-6 inches underneath the plastic at an area that you would want to bend, in a few seconds you see the plastic start to droop a touch. At that point you can quickly bend/curve the plastic to the desired shape. Hold it in steady for a few seconds in that desired shape and then once cooled, the shape holds pretty dang good n strong. That's how I did my Falcon support bracket (tip: drill the hole first, before bending the plastic so that you're drilling on a flat surface without having to contend with plastic arcs/bends, etc).
Thank you very much for the detailed response!
Quoted from Tommy_Pins:Really?! What was giving you trouble?
Bending the damn Lexan. Tried cold, with a hair dryer, and with a lighter. So frustrating...lol.
Quoted from MaxIsDead:Blew up a good score today
[quoted image]
Beast! My best is 5.9 billion default settings and post locations.
Quoted from vikingerik:Day one with my Pro:
[quoted image]
Blew up one particular ball. With the multiplier at 40x, I got a 500M video mode, 1200M hyperspace hurryup, plus a lot of activity during a big stack of Tie Fighter and Victory multiballs together. Also tacked on +5% score twice after that for 300M each, and the last ball's bonus was 500M and held.
Booooooooooooooooom!
Quoted from smoothbore19:So had this happen yesterday. Chip out of the clear down to the bare wood by the drop target. I sent Stern and email, but from what I've read about this sort of thing i dont expect much from them. I'll send my distro a pic also.
[quoted image]
They will probably send you a clear coat touch up kit. Can use some Hard as Nails clear polish in the mean time.
Quoted from zermeno68:Yup, just me hoping it was $99 instead of $199. For those whom have done it, I’ve got one pinsiders opinion…
Do you see value in the insider connect for Star Wars.
I'd buy 2 for SW and Mando at $99. I'm out at $199. I'd still have to buy the door mount cause I hate the way it looks on the apron.

Quoted from OhmEye:Well, if Insider Connected with online updates and achievements isn't substantial, I tend to agree I don't expect anything else. Which is a shame really, I think SW is an ideal game for cooperative multiplayer and there is so much potential for collaboration gameplay. Imagine each player playing as a different character and mode stacking to destroy the deathstar and kill the emperor!
Waddaya say Dwight? One more real update with coop mode added in addition to bug fixes (the hyperloop multiball bug). Xaqery

Quoted from MaxIsDead:When I shoot the outter orbit from left to right the ball goes SDTM. I know this is a common issue, but I am not finding info on what to adjust to fix. Anyone have links to fixes? Thx
Start at post 12522.
Quoted from bigguybbr:I have a Mando pro and I’m jumping in this week with a SW prem. I blame crujones4life for posting SW next to his Mando in his line up. Next he is going to rope me into his BTTF nonsense.
I hope this elicits the same fun that I get from my GOTG Pro that is bolted to the floor at my house. Big thanks to King_Jelly and all the fantastic guys at Little Shop of Games. They are amazing.
Haha, your welcome!

2 SW Pro?!
Quoted from zermeno68:Wait.. if you zoom in it appears the plastic ramps were changed to steel.. maybe it’s hard to sell it that way??
Ahhhh...that's Logan's old Pro.
Quoted from bigguybbr:I moved the outlane posts to the easiest position and that made things a little better. I’ll have to look into the Star Wars posts from pinball life.
I also had to adjust the entrance/exit guide to the Death Star shot. Every time the ball was released it was going SDTM. It it seems a bit better
I also saw it mentioned here a few times, but didn’t see the answer, what exactly is that extra post in the goody bag for?
Extra post you say? What kind?

Quoted from SwarthVader:I know the Death Star on the Pro edition doesn’t explode, but it *looks* like some kind of ramp might come down from the bottom somehow. If it can’t, then I don’t know why it has those lines on the bottom hemisphere that seem to align with the left inner loop. Can someone provide a definitive answer on this?
Made from same mold as Premium Death Star.
Quoted from bigguybbr:Installed. It actually makes the left outlane the same size as the right after.
[quoted image][quoted image]
That's pretty badass.
I wouldn't (and won't) go past version 1.10 until reset issues are addressed. Plus can we get a fix for hyperspace multiball bug?!
Everyone has different reasons for going Pro or Premium or LE. I chose Pro because I much much prefer the art, the cheaper price, and less mechs to worry about keeping up. Same reason I chose the Pro for Mando (although the art is similar between Pro and Premium). Probably be a Pro buyer on almost any new Stern I would buy for those reasons.
Quoted from Ecw0930:How do you earn, and then use, an add a ball?
Hitting Force drops during multiball. Button will glow orange. Hold down button for add a ball.
Quoted from Veemonroe:UK poster here. Anyone any idea when Stern is taking SW out of production?
At this point I could see it staying in production as long as the Spike 2 platform is being used for new pins. Having said that, if you want a new one, I'd still buy one asap. Price increase coming 1/1/2023.

Quoted from MrSmiley:Take the used one, probably cheaper and the nicer comic artwork (which is also more rare). Nobody really cares for warranty.
Also 500 plays like new.
I will take the opposite stance. Not even considering the fact that I much prefer the OG Art. A 2 year warranty (a real warranty) is huge. Peace of mind, baby!
Quoted from freddy:Having them side by side comic art for the win!
Was the downvote necessary brother? We're all SW fans here.
Quoted from freddy:Thumbs up and thumbs down are provided by the site to show you agree or disagree with a post! Nothing personal
Yeah your right. I forget that sometimes.
Quoted from Yoko2una:Ok I was about to ask this very question. I was like “sometimes I see sky blue lights, sometimes white… probably something to do with Boba Fett, no idea what to do.”
How many white shots are needed to Boba Fett and when you use it as your power up selection at plunge, is it just lighting shots white, or is it also getting you closer to starting it (Ex: if you need say 5 white shots for BF, does choosing it at plunge now only make it 3 shots)?
Also, I’m guessing this is a really F’ing good bonus…
[quoted image]
That's about my best bonus. And yeah, that's a serious bonus!
Quoted from Ryanod:Wish I read this two days ago I literally did the same thing
I may be interested in the 2 I circled if you aren't using those particular ones...PM me a shipped price to 63016 if so. Thanks!
Screenshot_20221202_135229 (resized).jpgQuoted from MitchMitchell:Question(s), does anyone know how to light the Jedi Multiball insert? I finally beat the wizard mode and it never lit before, during or after. Also I checked the online vids of others and their insert didnt light for them during the wizard either. 1 Last thing, other's had a 4 ball mb for the mode but mine was a 2 ball; did Dwight change it to 2 ball at some point during updates?
Thanks for any insight!
-Mitch
Please send email about the Jedi Multiball Insert.
Xaqery (don't forget about the Hyperspace Multiball bug too)
Quoted from Kabball:So I have had my Star Wars pro now for 8 days and have 555 plays on this machine already. Kind of concerned I’m wearing the thing out. I always see people stating like 700 lifetime plays on units they are selling that are many years old.
Yes it’s my first Pin so I don’t really know. I mean regardless of what folks say I’m gonna just keep wearing this thing out, just curious.
Awesome! It's meant to be played brother! Just keep it clean. Wipe down the playfield and ramps with your cleaner of choice (Novus 1 for me) and wipe the balls clean and change them every 500 to 1000 plays or whenever they look pitted. It will outlast you, rest assured.

Quoted from Kabball:Pro owner here - been eyeing that MFalcon mod that goes over the left ramp which matches more the Premium/LE. Any of you pro owners have that and would you recommend?
Yes and yes!
20220917_212407 (resized).jpg20220917_212429 (resized).jpgQuoted from Kabball:Looks great - is there just the one place on pinside to get that?
Quoted from Collin:*edit* I'm speaking with LERmods now for clarification (though if anyone here has any immediate thoughts on whether ramp screwhole spacing changed between runs, I'm all ears!)
Question for folks with the LERMods Millennium Falcon, should it mount at a bit of an angle as I have mine? Wasn't quite sure how the mounting points work, or if the holes on the ramps changed between runs...
[quoted image]
The ramps have never changed. 100% sure of that. Everyone has their Falcon mounted differently on the Pro. Mine isn't tilted at all. Just used a bunch of washers to raise it up. I did not use a separate mount as some others have.
Quoted from squirtbrnr:I used to get this almost every fifth game the first 50 or so games. I’ve since put about 150 more plays on and it’s seemed to have fixed itself. I didn’t change any trough eject power or anything else so my guess is it’s a mechanism alignment issue.
My Star Wars has done this in the past as well. I'm pretty sure whenever it happened before it was after a multiball ended. Probably just a timing thing. Haven't had it happen in quite some time now.
Quoted from vikingerik:This happens regularly thanks to a software bug. If you use an add-a-ball (earned by completing Force during one of the planet multiball modes) just before another ball drains (so the add-a-ball ball-saver just came on), both of those balls will be kicked into the shooter lane before it plunges them.
If that's not the case (and it wouldn't be if you're talking about single ball play), the most likely culprit is the shooter lane switch not registering, so the game thinks the ball didn't make it there and tries again.
Xaqery and don't forget the Hyperspace Multiball bug!
I heard that the ball save that you could enable for the scoop to account for SDTM was removed from the most recent update. Can anyone confirm this?
