Star Wars comic art??

[tufnel1530]

Didnt see this coming although I knew they were going to rerun the game. 

Pretty cool although for me I would take the movie art since I have no real love of the comic book stuff.

Either way be interesting to see what people think... seems to be a love it or hate it kinda game so not sure how much new art will sell it.

They are doing vaults of a game that just came out now?

its odd that's for sure but all I could guess

I guess thats the deal... you would think they would hit an out of production game like the walking dead

I guess easier to produce something that has just been ran...

Interesting idea anyways so be interesting to see if people bite.

Doesnt change the game at all and the game itself is great but a bitch to play and learn so its an acquired taste already.

i like the comic book art option.

the star wars premium is not made anymore, so the vault option is there. they do make normal artwork star wars pro still...

Stern say Original versions of Pro and Premiums will be available through the end of the year, along with the Comic versions of both.

They would sell more vaults if they also added a new code update and a new topper.

Whatever happened to Gene Gene the Dancing Machine?


I like the comic art better than the original. There is an original pro by me and no matter how I try this is one of those games I just can't get into and I love Star Wars.
If I were to ever get one I would want the comic art,

The code on Star Wars (by Stern standards) is great... problem is it is not walk up and play friendly at all.

I disliked the game until I got one now I think its one of the best Sterns from the last few years.

The code may be an acquired taste with the moving multipliers and choose your character and all that but once you know what to do there is all kinds of risk reward and options in the game.

The game plays fast and hard but without spending hours learning the code makes no sense.. when you "get it" though its pretty great.

Its a great home game because its tough as nails and hard to learn... for an arcade and casual play? not so much.

Anything to increase sales on this title
They need to do more then artwork
It's not a very fun game at all just a boring layout
But hey everybody has there own opinion
I wouldnt go that far as one of sterns best in the last few years

Well it is an opinion. everyone is different.

Problem is it’s a fast game to begin with and the code is hard to learn. If you play it 20 times you are going to say the game sucks.  I did the same thing.

That is pretty much where stern screwed up… if any game should be easy to play and learn it should be star wars so people can enjoy it that aren’t pinball people.

I looked at reviews and those guys at Buffalo pinball put a few plays on it and trashed it when it came out. You could tell from the review that they had no idea how the game worked and no way you could from a few games. One of their gripes was no bozo multiball…  why cant I hit 3 shots and get multiball? Pretty dumb for “pinball guys”

In my opinion after playing every single recent stern quite a bit its one of the best games… it’s a hard game but if you take the time its all there. and no i dont work for stern.

Did someone try the home version?
I like this version much better than the original ones, which remind me too much of the Stern "photoshop" era.
I can of agree that it is a strange strategy to not make SW a friendly user table. And Munsters, which seems a true pinhead theme, a shallow code game.
But with so many releases, Stern is offering something for everyone, which is great for a hobby which almost died few years ago.

The home SW is good, the gameplay is fun, the R2 ball lock is nice & simple.   Good pin, maybe I should buy one...
