Quoted from Beez:So with the new movie approaching at years end, I for one can think of NO ONE BETTER than Steve Ritchie to be the designer of the NEW Star Wars PIN !!! My wife and I got to spend some time this year visiting with him and his wife at TPF and they are absolutely wonderful people. I can only hope that HE, the KING, is given and accepts the opportunity to work on what could be one of the most sought after pinball machine ever!
SR takes 1.5 years/game, if he is on GOT now, it will be 2 years until SW, which may be ok as Episode 8 will be out in exactly 2 years, giving Stern 2 of the 3 movies worth of content.
