Stern : Star Wars Fall of the Empire

Its all very odd, not saying Sterns answer isn't true, but I just typed in "Star Wars" into eBay..... 2m+ items, much of it utter tat, all with star wars branding.
So strange they would draw the line at a high end product like a pinball machine, especially as this is, what..... the 9th one?

They won't have stern didn't want to pay what they where asking
 
The trouble is, we only have one side of the story.

The question is really whether the licence is unavailable at any price. It would be interesting to see if Disney Europe would be willing to discuss a Star Wars pinball machine.

True

However Id doubt it, Disney pretty coherent, the Territory are priced and managed differently due to value, interest demand, Disney licence absolutely everything I would bet it will lbe down to cost. Stern would never admit that even to the dark lord 😉 Perhaps because it's the first three movies the value in Europe is considerably higher. Now if it was the us saying no then there might have been a small possibility it's unavailable at any price, the us dictate the rest 🤘

I'm wondering if something weird is happening like pinball brothers launching a European only star wars game, they do have a relationship with Disney, alien and now Predator. It's highly unlikely but it would explain it, it's not unusual for a similar product being released by different people on different territories.

That's me just being theoretical, the likelyhood is close to zero
 
I'm not a big fan of the multiplier spiel on the Ritchie one.
I'm not trying to sway you, but if you aren't interested in high scores you can easily ignore this feature and focus on completing modes. Sometimes I bother with them, sometimes I don't.

My Pro is only listed for sale for space reasons. It's true the Pro hasn't got a major toy, but I find it an enjoyable shooter with plenty to do, it's atmospheric and has plenty of video and sound assets from the films, and it's a top tier license.

I don't hate the game (I considered buying yours at one point!), just doesn't quite grab me I guess. And the Pro with the plastic ramps and open play field does feel a little sparse to me. There's definitely a fun game there though.
