There is a new star wars arcade game out.

The page on pcmag has a photo of the controls.

180 degree panoramic dome for the screen.

It's been out for a while now. I've had a chance to play it. It's pretty cool.

I'm jealous, how awesome was the panoramic view?

It's well done, so much so that if you're prone to motion sickness, it'll make you woozy.

Heard a rumor about DICE doing some limited arcade cabinets as a promo for the new Star Wars Battlefront game... can't find anything on the net to verify it though.

They have this at "Level 257" in the Chicago area. I played it the two times I was there (2nd time was last Saturday). It made me woozy! Good thing I sucked at it. They also had a more modern jet fighter pod game next to it. I didn't get a chance to try that one.

Dave & Busters on I10 in Houston has it.  I enjoyed it and it had some fans in the cabinet that blew on you when you were moving quickly.  That was kind of cool on Endor.

I did the endor speeder run as well. Very good game. Only downside I felt like I was more of a gunner than a pilot. pretty much fixed to a rail.

It's a cool  idea but all they essentially did was revamp the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade.  Still looks fun to play even though it's completely unoriginal.

Played one at a Dave and busters once... IMHO Mach Storm was better.
