I just made an account, because I just had to congratulate you guys on the best tables you've made yet. I downloaded the pack yesterday and I can't stop playing the tables. Even my roommates-- who normally don't participate much in pinball-- have been crazy about the new tables. They're a blast.

The Droids table far exceeded my expectations- I didn't anticipate it to be as deep and difficult as it is. It's a lot of fun. I love the raised bumper area, that's super cool.

The New Hope table is a blast as well. I love how much the table changes during the game, and the rotating bumper area with the ramps is a really neat idea. The skill shot thing is really cool as well. I think my favorite part of the table, though, is orbiting the balls around the death star... I love that.

The Han Solo table is much harder than I anticipated, and I've been scrambling to get points on it. It's immensely satisfying to finally complete a mode on that table, and I really love Han Solo's ship in the center of the playfield. It's a great setpiece! This has probably been the table I've spent the most time on, just because I'm trying to get better at actually getting points. I love the difficulty of it.

The Masters of the Force table is the best table you guys have ever made. I LOVE the pyramid ramp and the cube piece is wonderful. (A Theater of Magic influence, I think?) The way you have to balance the two different sides of the table is really interesting, and it will definitely make the table hard to master. Visually, it's just a joy to look at, and the amount of variety on the playfield is incredible. I'll be playing this one for quite some time, I think! It does have one slight glitch with the pyramid, where I keep getting my ball accidentally locked in with the captive ball after the pyramid goes back up, I wanted to let you guys know about that.

Fantastic job on these tables, though- you guys really just keep getting better with designs. I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us in the next coming months!

Nice round up. Agree these tables are fantastic! Love them.

Han Solo - this is a surprisingly fun table. I agree it's more challenging than anticipated. Plenty to really delve into. Going to fun really figuring out this table. Nice charm too with all the lines Han says. The asteroid mini game was a surprise. Wish there a better way to target the ball when han is on the left side in the blaster cockpit. In the trailer it looked like there was a point of view but not sure it's in the actual game.

Droids - This one surprised me. I still think this will be a marathon table as it's really easy to get extra balls. Had 3 Extra balls on my first ball the first time I played this table. It really has a nice flow. What I like about it is that It seems like a ramp spam table, yet it isn't. When you light all the letters of a particular Droid you have a certain amount of time to shoot that lane to level them up. I only did 2 of the of the missions and they were pretty unique. I like the R2 D2 puzzle game where you have to touch the green lights with the ball within the time limit. Again very surprised but this table. I actually like more than Episode IV right now.

Episode IV - Another great table by Deep. It seems fast and you really need pretty accurate shots. the mission don't feel as easy as the other episodes IMO. Which is great. I like the challenge. Not sure if there is that save feature like the others as I only got to that mini field underneath the playfield to try and get R2 and 3PO in the shuttle and didn't finish in time. The little mini fields that pop up in certain mission and other means, are very cool. The trash compactor mission has a nice touch as you see the walls closing in on the mini field. Awesome!


Masters of the Force - Wow talk about a challenge Which I love. This one hands down my favorite because of the difficulty. This is at least my opinion from my first hand playing. Art, Music, Challenge. It's all there. So far my favorite of the pack.

As it stands now, I would rank the table thus.

Masters of the Force
Star Fighter Assault
Han Solo
Episode VI
Episode V
Droids
Episode IV
Boba Fett
Clone Wars
Darth Vader

going to have to disagree with you two guys about the Masters of the Force table.

I'm getting serious "blade" vibes from it. Tried to play it a lot and learn it, turns out i just really really hate it. It's really not jiving with me at all. Hey, 3 out of 4 awesomesauce tables is fine with me

I just went through another marathon session of the han solo table and i'm still loving it. It's my favorite of the four tables. I gotta give another serious run at the droid table. I love fast moving combo ramp heavy tables. So i'll have to give that one another serious go.

but dat han solo.... came pretty close to starting the wizard mode on it just a bit earlier. Even managed to get an extra ball (which is pretty hard i might add) by shooting all the targets (which takes forever i might add). But yea, you want to put up a good score on this table, you better set aside a lot of time. It really is a marathon like table. Reminds me in a way about that friggen spiderman table or paranormal. Except, more fun compared to those two tables.

Zen,

You guys really outdid yourselves on this pack. Hats off to Zoltan Vari and Deep for their talents. All three of Deep's tables in SW pinball are fun and addictive. He really captured the movies well in both theme and gimmicks. The timers in Episode IV seem to be tuned just right for each scene. And that could make it challenging enough. I manged to beat 4 of the 5 scenes. Well done! looking forward to more time with this table.


My gosh Zlotan! Both Han Solo and Masters are my favorites of the pack. Again Han Solo really surprised me. Quite challenging with all the modes that I believe you have to complete to get to the wizard mode. (General Solo) That's a challenge in itself yet it doesn't take away from the fun of the table.

Masters is the most challenging table I've played so far. That whole left area is tough to shoot for. The left orbit where it Say's 'hurry up/Lock' is one tough shot. Especially when you have that fight Yoda Vs Emperor, it's Nightmare to get. It's really cool though. You have to time it where the ball is spins on the pyramid and press the launch button at the right time to hit Yoda.
Getting up the ramp of the pyramid holocron is ridiculously random - but that's ok.

Not to outdo the others Droids is actually better than I thought. It's going to be one of those Marathon tables where you're probably have to play for a while to get super high scores. Although if you do the missions and level up all the droids, you can score some really high Jackpots in the Wizard mode. I got to the wizard mode last night and saw some 30M jackpots. It's a timed Wizard mode so it's limited. If you master the missions, I see some pretty high scores. The only thing I'm curious about is the other MBs. Some of the jackpot shots are really small. The scores do ramp up yet I'm not sure what makes them ramp up. It doesn't seem like it's revolving around the levels of the droids so....

Fine job Zen...... Looking forward to see what you bring to the um 'table' in the months to come.

Oh by the way. What other tables did Zoltan and Deep do?

I know Zoltan did Fear itself, Boba Fett. I'm thinking Zoltan did Tesla, Mars, Paranormal.

Deep did Infinity Gauntlet, Fantastic Four not sure about the others. Just wondering.

Wow thank you for the time to do this. That's awesome!

If anyone wants to put any info up on the Tables Modes/Missions/Wizard Modes etc. I would be grateful as I have to start amassing info for the 4 Guides and any help is a plus.

If anyone wants to put any info up on the Tables Modes/Missions/Wizard Modes etc. I would be grateful as I have to start amassing info for the 4 Guides and any help is a plus.

I'll try. Would you want that in separate threads or in this one?

I'll start.

Droids

To start missions shoot the 3 center targets. The 3 center targets disappear and you must shoot the ball in the sinkhole.

As far as locking balls for MB, when you complete missions, the 3 center targets disappear and you must shoot the ball in the sinkhole within the allotted time (10s I believe)

Mission 1 Fix C3PO - for each piece, Basically shoot the lit 'Shot' Lanes then shoot the R2D2 sink hole. As you get each piece, the # of shot lanes dwindle. 10m completion bonus.

R2D2 puzzle thing- (Don't recall the name)to start this mode, Basically get the ball into the bumpers (left orbit). They count down from 40 or 50. once that is done, there seems to be a holographic looking thing at the R2D2 sinkhole. Shoot for it. The puzzle is completed if you touch 5 green circles fails when the timer is done or you touch 3 red circles. You control moving the rings left or right with corresponding flippers. To get to the inner rings or Vice Versa, press the 'launch' button when your ball is at a gap you can get through. You might have to move the next ring , Again press 'Launch' button to do so. When done it will give extended time on you mission or a ball save.

As mentioned before as you shoot the lanes each number/letter for each droid lights up. When they are lit, you have a certain amount of time (10s I think). There are levels for each droid (1-7) once you level up them up they each give a certain amount of points. First level is 500k - Maximum is 2m. I believe you want to level them up to max level for the wizard mode. As each could give you a 30m Jackpot.

I know there is the mode to deactivate the smelter. Not sure exactly what lights it up but there is what looks like a flashing arrow on the ramp above the center targets. You start it by shooting that ramp with the right upper flipper. There is a vari-target on the left side above the bumper. Shoot that twice to disable it before the ball that is rolling down on the left side get's into hot molten fluid. When you disable it, that ball comes into play for a 2 ball MB and basically you shoot like Jackpot lanes. The scores are pretty small 100k but ramps up when you accomplish certain things. not sure if it revolves around what level the droids are. But does ramp. This can happen a bunch of times during your game so it could be based on a combo system. the jackpots don't reset for this mode. Again they ramp up. I think you can get a 3rd ball added to the party if you do the same thing while in MB.

That's all I have for now.
