Now this is something that I would really enjoy. I got other tables in the past but didn't found so appealing. I always didn't knew what the story is, what I have to do, never found some guides... but Star Wars is a familiar universe for mewww.GamerPET.com - Honest Game Reviews, Gaming Shows and Live Stream

EDIT: Ok, I'm sorry but I have elaborate on the Death Star assault wizard mode that's running through my imagination now. It starts out as a 4-ball (or more) multiball and you have to keep the balls in play as you shoot ramps/orbits to evade the laser cannons and TIE fighters.. maybe even having to complete some drop-target banks to take the TIE fighters out. During this time the DMD would look like the view of the X-Wing traveling through the trench. As you get closer to the required number of shots you would hear Vadar saying "The Force is strong with this one..". Once all of the required shots were completed the DMD would change over to looking like the targeting camera view and tell you to lock the balls in some sinkhole to destroy the Death Star. Then of course you would hear Obi-Wan say "Use the Force Luke" right about then. Once the final ball in play was locked you would wins the wizard mode and the DMD would show your X-wing fly away as the Death Star exploded in the background.. Ok I've probably let my imagination run too far here lol..
I did just see the footage of the Clone Wars table table based on the animated series, that playfield looks nice aesthetically.

Its probably easier to focus on a certain setting or character than trying to capture the story from a whole movie.. like having a Death Star table or an Endor Adventures table kind of lends itself well to pinball. I'm just imagining what the wizard modes could be.. there had better be one where we lead the Rebel assault on the Death Star in one of these tables!

Here's an interesting article that has had hands on time with all 3 tables.
Love the idea of different stages during each scene in Empire Strikes Back. Might be the most popular of the 3 pack but it's too early to decide that.
Sounds like the Boba Fett table is going to be pretty interesting. They didn't say much about Clone Wars than other than it appears to be difficult rule set. Very intriguing indeed. Can't wait to see more info released for Zen on each table.
Hopefully they'll release a trailer for each table each week before the initial release which is a little more than 2 weeks away. End of February is a little more than 2 weeks away. They did say the end of February right?

That would leave 4 character-specific tables starting with Boba Fett. Then maybe Yoda, Darth Vadar, and Han Solo? I guess there are a lot of options..sigpic

Anyways, I REALLY hope these don't get delayed, but if they do, I know it'll still be worth it.

From Article
In one gameplay mode designed to mimic Han Solo's potshots at Darth Vader on Bespin, a virtual version of the Sith lord will rise from beneath the table surface. If Vader is fired upon with a ball, he'll simply Force push the ball out of harm's way, crushing it.Last edited by tenorhero; 02-11-2013, 07:12 AM.

Time to sing the best cartoon theme song ever:
"We are the E E E E E E Ewoks and we're living in the forest trees!
We are brave and we are bold, like or story tellers told,
We are strong and we will fight, and we will stand up for our rights!
"We are the E E E E E E Ewoks and we're living in the forest trees!"
I can't believe I remember that.
Will Porkins from Ep 3 get a table?
