Star Wars is a pinball machine released by Data East in October 1992. This machine is based on the original Star Wars trilogy, capturing the epic battles and iconic characters from the beloved films. Designed by John Borg, with artwork by Markus Rothkranz and music by Brian Schmidt, it remains a favorite among pinball enthusiasts. Theme and Design: The game immerses players in the Star Wars universe, featuring detailed artwork of characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Yoda. The playfield is adorned with scenes from the movies, including the Death Star and TIE Fighters. The backglass showcases a dramatic space battle, adding to the visual appeal. Flippers: Two main flippers to control the ball. Multiball Modes: The game features several multiball modes, including a three-ball multiball that can be triggered by locking balls in the Death Star. Interactive Toys: Includes a rotating Death Star that players can hit to start multiball, and a moving R2-D2 figure that adds to the interactive experience. Sound and Music: Features high-quality sound effects and music from the Star Wars films, including voice characterizations by Fred Young. The game was one of the first to use the BSMT-2000 sound system, providing an immersive audio experience. Up/Down Shifter: Instead of a traditional plunger, the game uses an up/down shifter to launch the ball, adding a unique twist to the gameplay. Drop Targets and Ramps: Includes various drop targets, ramps, and a vertical up-kicker that players can hit to score points and trigger special modes. Death Star: A central feature of the playfield, the Death Star can be destroyed by hitting a specific target, triggering a dramatic multiball mode. Production and Popularity: Approximately 10,400 units of the Star Wars pinball machine were produced, making it a relatively common but highly sought-after machine among collectors. Its combination of engaging gameplay, high-quality sound, and iconic theme has kept it popular over the years. All pinball machines listed are currently IN STOCK and ready to sell.
