What is the best pinball machine? In this series I take a look at my top 50 pinball flipper games and explain why I love them so much. In this episode I take a look at Star Wars from Stern which is a Steve Ritchie designed game which encompasses A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
In this video I take a look at the rules, playfield layout, toys and video modes of one of Stern's earliest LCD Spike 2 pinball machines.

Really respect to decision to keep the discussion focused on the machine and not the politics

Could you maybe do a proper recap of the list every video, as it would be good to keep track.

This is such a great series Kris. There are loads of people who don’t get to play all these games and just to see them put through their paces is so entertaining. I’ve owned about 20 pins in my life but I’ve only ever played 9 on your list here so to see them up close, shot well and with great insight is fantastic. Yeah, I’d have GB higher up the list lol but horses for courses, right? Lol. P.S. I was fixing the loo last night, all good, but i stumbled upon your plumbing channel 😁 Now everything makes perfect sense lol.

Great and honest video. I have the SW premium and I think the Death Star loop, ramp and explosion are great enhancements to the pro, and it does make it a slightly different and improved experience. But you are 100% correct on the issue with the plunge. It will drive you insane and as you said, you might have a great first two balls, be going with great momentum towards completing the missions, and then it drains repeatedly off the plunge and kills your third ball and makes you say things kids should be protected from. I’ve worked hard to try and enjoy it and the rules are difficult but eventually understandable. I’ve even finished the final wizard mode. I also see 50% of the people that play my machine watch that ball drain from the plunge. And mine has the biggest problem of draining on the left when auto plunged. It hits the three bank and goes left and drains directly into the left drain. If I pull the plunger, it hits the three bank, hits the force targets, bounces off the right slingshot and goes straight down the left drain again. I went so far as to replace all my rubbers with less bounce ones from titan to see if that helps. And it did help with the multi bounce drains but not the auto plunge drain. It’s a design flaw. Plain and simple. But things can be done to help minimize it. Do I wish it wasn’t that way? Yes. But have I taken steps to minimize it… yes. I love the theme but it is much simpler of a layout than any other recent stern title. And the pro definitely is operator friendly but less exciting since it’s missing the coolest features of the premium and LE. Great review. Appreciate your honesty. Best one I’ve seen yet on this machine.

Thanks mate and I really appreciate the detailed reply too. I do have access to play an LE so I'll make sure I do a video next time I'm at the club. They will certainly be games which finish lower on the list than Star Wars.

Jurassic Park Home 💪 it's really a great game. Straight forward, fun, beautiful shots. Jack Danger is truly a great pinball designer. Can't wait to see what other games he makes.

Where is the unsubscribe button……No, I can understand all your points and like you said, this is your list. All I would say is the Pro plays very different to the LE, but I agree about the lack of toys.

Thanks dude. Honestly, I'm going to be filming a lot of games in January so hopefully there will be a few pins we've not featured.

Very fair summery of Star Wars. I can accept when I make mistakes and lose the ball but when the machine makes them, the ball should always come back.

I have a jp home and access to a jp pro around where I live. I definitely think there is a argument here. If you like more straight forward rules and a fun shooter the jp home is amazing. If stern supported it as much as they do their other titles I would have to think long and hard on which I would rather own. Let's get jp home stern insider to make that decision harder!
