Only played one once at NLP last year, played 1 ball, walked away 
. I understand some people like it.

Terrible film. Terrible game.
Hardly any shots, way too easy, and Jar Jar Binks twattling on constantly. Have fun
Jar Jar killed pinball, seriously I dislike this machine more than Popeye and STTNG, and thats going some, RFM was so much better than this
Its not that bad but I would class it as a "fun for kids" game, You definitely need to play before you buy, it is an acquired taste . Has fantastic Sound and lights effects so a hit in that angle if your a Star Wars fan. I love the Pinball 2000 concept and 3D playfield, I have a RFM which is definately the better of the 2, and a SWEP1 kit to swap in when I fancy a change. Its been a while since I swapped in the SWEP1. If you fancy a trip round the M25 you can come and play them. For me pinballs are too expensive nowadays to take a chance . I always play the heck out the next one I am thinking of before I take the plunge.
Out of interest, how much of a job is it to swap the pin2k kits?

Cool thanks for all the replies, think you maybe right lance will be best to try one out first, thanks for the offer may take you up on that if I am coming that way, thanks scott
playfield Swap is easy. It literally lifts out and all the wiring is on about 6 connectors you lust unplug. SWEP1 has a plunger to launch ball whereas RFM is a button. So that has to be changed. All of that is probably 5 mins. The problem is the computer. The software is on chips that go into a daughter board ( Prism card ) that plugs into an old computer ( old means doesn't like being messed with ). Thats a ball ache. Nucore made this a lot easier but is expensive and now not supported. There was a rip off version called pinbox, again that makes it easier if you can get it to work, but is probably illegal ( so enough said about that option ) . Both of those meant that there are complete computers going so thats another way just have one complete computer for SWEP1 and one for RFM and swap , very easy but expensive, but not as expensive as a whole game if you can pick one up.
