Title says it all.  Would like opinions on this pin......and something more than "it sucks" or "its great".

I played it last week in Ocean City NJ and it wasn't what I was hoping for. I became pretty bored with it after the first two balls and found the game lacked a lot of depth. Might not be the same for everyone though. The X-Wing was cool  :-\

Few things are cooler than a SW pinball machine.

I have never played one though.

If you had you would know that none of them are any good.  The license is cool.  The games themselves, across the board, suck.  Hard.

It's a shame because it should be a great theme for pinball. Trilogy is the better looking game, but the Data East one is more fun to play, in my honest opinion. Still, unless you're a Star Wars nut, neither one is particularly engaging.

I've done some research on this game and played it in VP.  It has some pretty cool features:

1.  The X-wing shooting at the Tie Fighter is a pretty awesome feature.
2.  6 Different "heroic" modes with an apparent Darth Vader mode as a seventh mode. 
3.  Han solo frozen in carbonite....apparenly this a harder shot than it looks like.
4.  3 and 4 ball multiball
5.  Trivia questions....although I imagine this is probably kinda lame.

Some negative things I've discovered though:

1.  Sega sound apparently sucks......one backbox speaker?  Really?
2.  No skill shot.

It's not much different than anything else from the same time period.
