I consider DE Star Wars to be a game that has a few good "flow shots" (the left orbit which feeds to the flippers and the center shot that loops and returns pretty quickly to the right flipper. Also flows when you hit the death star or right inner loop and through the habit trail it returns to your left flipper. All of those add to the flow of the game and are good flowing shot.

There are also places in that game that stop to give you awards, which slow the game down quite a bit. So while there are shots with good flow, hitting the left scoop can keep the ball for serveral seconds, show you a frame on the DMD, give you the ball back. Not really flow. Or if you hit the R2D2 right orbit the ball is send into pops, which slows the game down and doesn't help with flow at all. The worst is when you get the X-wing award and have to watch a long movie that goes nowhere. Yikes, that's the opposite of flow.
