Joined the club. Got the latest code and everything is default. Any audio tweaks or any other settings you recommend adjusting?

It's a real bummer that the planet multiballs have some of the best clips in the game but they're mixed so low you can barely hear them. Really sucks the momentum out of an epic moment.

Is that what that means? I could give it a shot but then the call outs that were fine will probably be too loud.

Oh yeah!

For sure, the hurry ups shouldn't take dominance over an entire mode. Play the initial sound then dump it on the small screen.

The other thing that sucks about the muted sounds is that in all of the chaos they are your best bet for knowing how far through the mode you are.

What is that pssst sound supposed to be? I find that callout annoying and I have no idea what the pont of it is.

The Endor victory multiball should play Yub Nub.

Most of the generic music for modes is fine but I think the planet multiballs would benefit from the original score.

I don't know about prem or le but you should be able to find a pro for less than $5K.

Is there any difference between turning stacking off and just choosing not to selct stacked modes in the mission screen?

My biggest gripe about this game is the way hurry ups and multi balls take priority over modes. I was doing Escape from Hoth and started hyperspace multi ball and that just completely takes over. Other than the blue shots on the field you would never even know you were still in Hoth. That's annoying.

The catch 22 is that stack helped me put up a 7B score. I guess you can go for immersion or you can for points.

Lots of subtle shakes like when you hit the correct shot in a mode or hit the drops. Big shakes at the match screen and crashing into asteroids in video mode.

Shooting the white shots is how you start escape from Boba Fett.

This is a good question. I assume it's an incentive to keep you from just trapping up and hammering the button but is it worth the risk?

I think that would make the most sense.

Interesting. I always thought you got those points just for hitting the tie fighter. I assume the multipliers work for this as well?

Speaking of multipliers, I hit a 1.2B hyperspace hurry up and it was glorious!

Yup. I originally had mine at 7.3 but read that post from Steve Ritchie about how playing steep is cheating so i dropped to 6.8 and it's noticeably harder.

Got my mix back from Pinball Mix and the added music and balanced audio really make the game come alive.

Is there some trick to working on this thing? This is my first Stern and I didn't realize prop bars were a luxury. The stupid posts are to short to do anything under and stood up it's too tall to work on the flippers. What am I supposed to do?

Yep. You've got to call your shot and then make it. I nailed a hyperspace hurry up at 40X for 1.2 billion. So satisfying!

Han seems like the hardest character. He can get through Hoth and Tattooine quick but I never put up big numbers with him.

What? I thought multipliers didn't work in lightsaber duel.

On every shot or just the final? I've tried to watch the screen for the multipliers on each shot and never saw it.

They don't work everywhere. There are definitely certain modes with certain characters where shots aren't multiplied.

Cool. Nice work!

Am I missing something or is repair the hyperdrive just 2 shots and done? Any way to build value?

Got to the emperor for the 1st time and beat him! Mode was kind of disappointing actually. Could have done better on planet multiballs, only completed Endor.

Indeed, even though I essentially "beat" the game all I can think about are all the missed opportunities to wring out more points. I was 1 shot away from destroying the death star and I totally blew Hoth and Tattoine.

Victory multiball is so satisfying! I especially love it on my pinballmix because I had him play the 20rh Century Fox fanfare when it starts.

I hired pinballmix to do it but yeah I assume he used pinball browser. Here is a video. It's so good!

It's mostly just the original trilogy box set soundtrack. I also threw in Duel of the Fates and a few non Star Wars tracks though.

That looks pretty good but a bit pricey. Anyone have it?

A vault eh? What are the odds that a code update is in the works also?

Just got 1.124B in bonus. Love this game!

It's cool that the planet champ is for the whole planet, not just the end multiball. Now I'm using that guide to try amd figure out who cam wring the most points out of each one.

Just realized there is a switch inside the rubber ring just below the spinner. What is the point of that?

This game definitely shines at home. I played it on location a few times and hated the cheap drains and the multipliers. I'm a huge Star Wars fan though so when a local tradd came up I went for it. Properly set up you almost never get a cheap drain off of the plunge. Once you get into the multipliers it adds a lot of depth and the risk/reward is amazing.

I agree, I think it looks terrible.

I wish there was a mode that actually made you hit all of the drops individually. All of them just make you hit any drop and then resets the bank

Right but you kind of just spell FORCE as you play. I never find myself actually trying to target it. I meant in an actual mode like cloud city duel.

My left post is all the way in. I have the right one in the the middle since it has the escape on it. Seems pretty fair.

Never knew the premium doesn't have that post by the drops. No wonder people find it furstrating. That post prevents so many cheap drains.

The best mod for this game is a custom soundtrack from pinballmix. The modes are so much better with the original Williams score. Having Duel of the Fates play during Lightsaber Duel is rad.

Place an order with pinballmix

That being said, if you don’t have the time or are not technically inclined at all, it is nice that pinballmix offers the service he does.

That's me. I don't have the time or patience to deal with pinball browser. Pinballmix did an awesome job at a fair price.

Personally I think AFM and MM are too similar to need both and AFM is the better one anyway.

Umm you'd think for that much money they could at least make R2 look correct.

You have to hit a certain number of white shots to start the mode. 3 or 4 I think.

Been trying to complete Escape from Hoth without bringing in any other multiballs and it's tough. Hitting that left orbit can be tough.

Finally did it. Had been trying to shortcut it with Luke and Han but Lea gets 4 balls in this mode so that's the way to go.

The wings on my tie fighter are coming loose. Anyone know what the head on those screws are? Some kind of tiny allen wrench?

TIL there are Victory medals. I assume this is from hitting all shots during Victory multiball?

Cool. Now I have a new short term goal to shoot for!

Ugh. Really thought I was going to battle the emperor tonight. Had 1 shot on my last mode with everything else completed and bricked the right ramp to left outlane drain. At least I got a new Han champ.

20200131_184347 (resized).jpg

Just wait until you hit a 1 billion hurry up. So good!

4 screws on back of tie fighter that attach to the bracket.

It does do that. Also, I like the slight shake whenever you hit a mode shot. There's quite a bit of subtle shaker action. You might not even notice some of it but turn the shaker off and you certainly will miss it.

Sounds like you're leaning left. I've never had a horseshoe shot go sdtm.

I never adjusted the auto plunge but I did turn down the scoop power so it just goes to the right flipper for an easy trap.

Are both of your shaker weights pointed in the same direction? Mine were originally and I had to adjust them because it shook too much.

Force and lightsaber ones look cool.

Yeah, it sucks. There is GOTG close enough for me to go play on my lunch break but it is still on release code.

https://mezelmods.com/products/star-wars-pinball-pro-millennium-falcon-1

Falcon is back. Really tempted.

Ugh, getting real sick of my tie wing coming loose. The screw head is pretty much stripped at this point. Maybe I should just glue the damn thing?

Only Boba Fett stood between me and the emperor and I blew it. Such a heartbreaker.

Mine is 759,200.

Wish there was a leaderboard for tie fighter multiball. I never seem to get much out of it. Or maybe I just suck.

Also, how does hyperspace multiball work? Do you get more distance with each yellow shot?

Gotta love a 2.5B lightsaber duel!

20200328_221834 (resized).jpg

Yes, you can adjust the scoop power and even put a ball save on it just in case.

Add me to the list.

Nope, sorry. He is in Battle over Endor and a Hoth mode though.

Same. The mold is nice but the led strip sucks compared to el wire.

No, just bend the leaf switch back a little at the base.

Been playing a bunch of the Tony Hawk remake recently and it reminded me of where my love of big multipliers came from. Star Wars is pretty much the Tony Hawks Pro Skater of pinball. Love it!

I never even realized this was an issue until now but it makes sense. I'll give it.a shot.

This is great! Such a simple adjustment and it makes a big difference. I never realized it was the gate that was causing shots to rattle out like that.

I get why tournament players don't like it and why it can be frustrating on location but all of those things are what make it such a great home game.

I hate it when you are deep into a mini wizard mode and then a tie fighter or hyperspace hurry up starts and spoils the experience.

Yeah, it's great that they can stack and helpful to finish the mode but I don't want to hear it.

It would be cool if they killed the flippers but at least you can just let go anyway.

I believe it you set it in tournament mode ut caps at 20X multipliers so you can at least tone it down some.

Put your left post all the way in if it isn't already.

The thing I love most about this game is that it makes you complete your modes. I'm sure that's why tournament and location players hate it but it makes such a great home game.

Deadpool!

Where did you get the lights and how easy was it too swap? I love the sculpt but needs more lights.

Looks great! All I see on comet are the same led strips like it already has.

Hmm, either I'm blind or they don't cary that anymore.

Thanks. I was thinking those looked the same as mine but maybe not.

20210106_130540 (resized).jpg

These ramp covers are a nice cheap and easy mod.

20210115_194303 (resized).jpg

20210115_194306 (resized).jpg

I agree.

Here is my pro with Falcon mod, mirror blades, and colored force inserts.

20210204_084012 (resized).jpg

Can you take a picture of your cap installed? No idea where that node power cable is on mine.

16124545302911983937558 (resized).jpg

Got it thanks!

I think is suposed to dead bounce off the left flipper onto the right. I just set mine to softly just drop on the right flipper because it's the same result with less wear and tear.

Remember you can get an add a ball by shooting the force targets. I focus on that immediately while the ball save is still lit.

https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1017-modfather-pinball-mods/01223-star-wars-speaker-panel-frames

Anyone ever put a speaker light kit behind these death star grills? Seems like it would be pretty sweet.

I never knew you could get an add a ball as a reward from the pops but had it happen twice last night.

https://modfatherpinball.com/products/star-wars-speaker-panel-frames

Got a brand new set of these vertical frames I decided not to install. Make me an offer.

Was that the latest code? I've only beaten the emperor once but that didn't happen on 1.05.

With all of the playfield issues Stern has been having lately an older one is probably better.

I am. Already sold my Star Wars. Hate to see it go but this is the way.

Do those Kenwoods fit as is or do you need brackets?
