I doubt the delay was code related. I'd think perhaps there's an approval SLA at Disney stretched out the launch window.

If there were known bugs or unfinished major things, it wouldn't be much effort to create a custom build just for the stream that walls off the stuff that's not ready for a live audience.
A few well placed comment-outs could hide anything they don't want to show.

The balls fell off the wireform trails many times.

Flow looked real nice though, seems like a blast to play.

Here I was thinking I was really clever when I tried this.

Spoiler: She was not tricked

I don't get the reference

In my mind I'm thinking the ball sits in a saucer like at the top of Harlem Globetrotters (or many other games of that era), then gets popped straight up like the Ant-Man scoop in AIQ Premium, but instead of within a wireform it's just open. Then, a magnet in Baby Yoda's hand activates and grabs it.

It would work right like, 20% of the time, and it would dent the hell out of the playfield and it would be awesome when it worked.

I was able to put some time on the Pro on location and thought it was a lot of fun. Volume was set a little low so I can't speak to that.

I didn't feel like the shots were too close at all. Flow was good, the shots were "in the right place" meaning easy to find and natural, able to hit them while flailing as I do. I was really surprised at the curve at the end of the left ramp. It's tougher to backhand than I thought it would be just because of the way it swoops to the right at the bottom. Just something that I didn't notice in the pictures or streams.
I found the upper playfield to be fun, real hard to keep the ball alive and hit the targets, and overall a good thing. I'm sure the tilting on the Premium is fancy, but the pro version is just fine in my book. Only caveat there is that on location the tiltbob was set tight, and I think that playfield really requires a little wiggle and nudging. So people playing this game out might not be able to do much up there. I certainly got a warning every.single.time I was up there.

The first multiball is VERY close to the start button. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I don't think any game we played went without 2 of the multiballs being achieved. My son and I saw very little game progress other than the multiballs. But we're not great players.

Couple negatives - Several times our game would just randomly end with the ball still in play. It would just dim the GI, tally up the bonus, and game over, ignoring extra balls and....the fact that the ball was still in play. Oddly when it did this it always gave us a match and free game, as if to say sorry.

When the diverter is down to drop the ball into the upper playfield, sometimes it would bounce back and fall down the ramp. Longest reject of all time?

Occasionally 2 balls would spit out into the shooter lane, which isn't super uncommon on new Sterns in my experience, but in my past the game always knew it did it and would let you drain one and keep going. Here, if you drained one you were done. Sudden death 2-ball multiball. This happened twice in a row to my son (ball 1 and 2) and I'm pretty sure that's why at the end of the night he said the game was "meh" and to not get one for home.

I'm looking forward to playing some more. It's going to be a money printing machine for most locations that get one. When you think about it, a smooth easy shooter with accessible multiballs is exactly what keeps younger or less skilled players coming back. Giving good players the option to go Impossible mode turns an "easier" game into a very difficult game, giving something for everyone. Squash a few bugs, give me some time on it, and it may turn out to be one of my favorite games.
