The light saber mini game is from Empire right? I don't know,that was hard at first to say the least,lol. But fun.

Just got the silver "Purge the World" trophy on the Clone Wars table! OMG, that is up their in difficulty! You actually have to beat all 5 missions AND training in one game to unlock the wizard mode... and then you have to beat that for the silver! This is for sure a hard table!

The wizard mode is frustratingly difficult! It is a 4 ball multiball with 4 phases. In the first phase, you have to hit 2 ramps 3 times each. In the second phase you have to hit the bumpers 100 times (this defeats one of the Sith Lords). In phase 3 you have to hit one of 2 ramps 15 times (this defeats the other Sith Lord). The final phase is to lock the remaining balls into either the left or right sink holes.

If at any point you get down to 1 ball, wizard mode is over and you have to do all the missions again!

Beating wizard mode nets you 50 million points and the trophy!

Sounds very good!

I've read that the same guy who designed Iron Man Also Designed the CW table. That's something that he would probably do just to challenge most of us.

Sound great that it can be challenging.

I have only had a chance to play Clone Wars somewhat decently and I just love the flow on the table, it always feel like you are working towards something. Table has a very unique feel to it in the way that it plays which is a big plus with regards to Zen's expanding catalogue. I have never watched Clone Wars so can't comment on how the show is being represented, but in the end the dialogue on the table feels very fresh and the missions are fun. The scores pile up quickly on this table so I expect super high scores at the top of the leader boards.

Only had half an hour with ESB and as I have said below, it is currently blowing my mind a bit... confident that it is going to be an awesome table to play but it is going to take time to fully appreciate it.

Bobba Fetta... not really getting into it yet. The table feels a bit "tight" for a lack of a better way of expressing it. Pretty sure I just need to spend time on it and things will start falling into place. The ball zipping down the in-lanes takes some getting use to and adds a nice challenge to playing this table.

Great job Zen... you have done yourself and the Star Wars universe proud with this release!

Hey Cloda! Everyone working on pinball tables at Zen would be so happy if this could be arranged. Sadly there are some difficulties what restrain us make this possible. I'm not sure what exactly, but if we could do this, I'm sure we would. Everyone's interest at Zen Studios to give you much appreciated fans the best quality. The score balance and testing is very important, we know that and we are trying to improve these processes continuously at Zen.

Thanks for the answer... thought that there must be something preventing it from happening. Lets hope with the release of the proper windows version coming (not the current win 8 one) that there will be better opportunities for beta testing as it should be easier and cheaper to distribute without Sony/Microsoft restraints. I really do appreciate the effort that is put in to make the quality better... it is not taken for granted.

ESB is breaking my head at the moment! There is just so much happening and as soon as you start one thing, everything seems to get going I left Infinity Gauntlet for last on the AC pack as I felt the same about it and it took me while to know what is happening but once I did it became such an awesome table. I quite confident that the same will happen with ESB.

I think Zen have done a great job with the three new tables. I haven't spent a huge amount of time with them so far but first impressions after a few plays are really good and I'm particularly enjoying the Boba Fett table. 800MS well spent in my opinion, roll on the next batch of new tables.

For what it's worth, I also think it's great to see the table designers posting alongside Barbie and Solitude, it really adds an extra level to the forum and gives an extra insight into the makings of a game that we all love.

a patch would not hurt shogun

Can't win either or way. Personally, it doesn't bother me if it gets a patch or not.

[markmon]

Cool. Hopefully they apply this aspect more and more into their tables.

This is just so perfect for the theme. You're infiltrating the ship and moving from one room to the next.

[Vincent]

Thank you Vincent, I'm glad to hear that!
I hope you will enjoy the Clone Wars table as much as Iron Man and Mars

I am already ! Even the "reddish" look makes me want to play it ! (Red is my favourite colour, by the way one of my very favourite tables is Rome !!)

I think one of the major reasons beta testing isn't happening is because the only way they could give us access to tables in development is by putting them on the PS Store, which costs a ton of money. Sad but true. There's no other way we could test them out besides getting them from the store.

[RabidShark]

Sorry to hear that you had some trouble. Well, I did not want to cause that kind of problems with stacking. I could figure out something to solve this and implement it in a future patch.

it might be a good idea i have had missions stack and i thought it was odd but i don't know if it hinders yet tho

No need for a patch. I personally like the challenge. Just keep the suggestion in mind when working on your current and future tables.

As far as I know, the Vader Frenzy is just taking as many shots at Vader as you can, as each one is worth increasing points. It's based on Han Solo's futile attempt to blast Vader on Bespin. Stack with a multiball for best results. Maybe there is a bonus to be earned once you get enough shots in, but I haven't gotten it yet if so.

ah ok makes sense so many zen staff in this thread these tables are excellent ( CW is just fine BTW ).

Just giving you a hard time. You were my go to guy for brutal and punishing tables. And then you made WWH which was definitely one of the easier tables. Don't get me wrong, WWH was a solid table. But I definitely preferred the challenge of IM and Thor. If you can beat the wizard modes on those two tables, you can easily master the rest.

Edit: I might be in the minority in enjoying the most difficult tables.

Yep, I know what you are saying and you're right in certain aspects, but you can't make every single table with the same philosophy, sometime you have to made some changes, and sometimes you have to think about the casual players too, who are not so skilled players like the majority of this forum.
