Emperor: Darth Sidious defeated !

[DanielR]

Yesterday I was at Arcade Odyssey and after a 1 hour and 15 minutes on Star Wars the left flipper got hot holding the ball. lol
Normally I'll walk away but with one shoot left , I called in back up.
Frank came to the rescue by placing a magnet on the ball after fixing the flipper letting it come down for me to shoot it up the left ramp.

I like to avoid the left mini-loop on premium and Tatooine's right scoop. Here's how I set it up :


pick R2D2 which cancels out II: Escape the Death Star & III: Fight TIE Fighters
leaving you with I: Rescue the Princess - don't start it


Start Endor by shooting the left ramp which cancels out I: Speeder Bike Chase & II: Throne Room Duel
leaves you with III: Knockout Shield Generator - don't start it


now shoot the left ramp and combine , I: Rescue the Princess & III: Knockout Shield Generator
Death Star's : Destroy the Death Star & Endor's : Escape from Endor are ready.



Part 1:
shoot the left ramp and choose Death Star's : Destroy the Death Star
Victory Multi ball can be obtained

Part 2:
after that's done , shoot it back up the left ramp and choose Endor's : Escape from Endor
Victory Multi ball can be obtained


choosing Death Star first avoids locking yourself up on the left ramp and have to shoot the left mini-loop
the left mini-loop on PREMIUM is a much harder shoot than the left ramp.


right scoop for Tatooine or choose it when you drain a ball - don't start it

start Hoth by shooting the right mini-loop - don't start it
 

combining Hoth and Tatooine


Part 1:
choose Hoth II: Duel on Cloud City & Tatooine I: Get to the Escape Pod

Part 2:
choose Hoth III: Repair the Hyperdrive & Tatooine II: Escape from Mos Eisley


Final: Escape from Hoth & Final: Escape from Tatooine are ready.


shoot the right mini-loop and choose Tatooine Final: Escape from Tatooine
Victory Multiball can be obtained again

after that's done , shoot it back up the right mini-loop for Final: Escape from Hoth
Victory Multiball can be obtained again


choosing Tatooine first avoids locking yourself up on the right mini-loop and have to shoot the right scoop
the right scoop is a much harder shoot than the left right mini-loop

with this strategy you can control all four planet modes using the left ramp and the right mini-loop

Easy peasy.  This is my big gripe with Star Wars.

It's easily one of my favorite Sterns but they screwed up making the gameplay/code so hard to get into.

The game has almost zero walk up and play appeal to it.

Even when I owned one it took me forever to figure out what was going on.

The theme has such wide appeal they should have done a more basic thing with it so it was at least fun to bang around on. The cheapo Star Wars "the pin" is way more fun.

Well done Daniel! Way to go

I haven't tried combinations. To me this was the most efficient way to progress through the game.

score wise , Death Star multi ball , Victory Multi ball , Hyperspace multi ball , TIE Fighter multi ball and 40X is where it jumps into the billions . . .
