THE MACHINE

About Star Wars

Prepare to travel to a galaxy far, far away! Designed by the “Master of Flow” Steve Ritchie, Stern’s Star Wars is a high-speed, adrenaline-fueled tribute to the original trilogy. This machine immerses players in the epic struggle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, featuring iconic John Williams music and original cinematic footage.

The playfield is a technological marvel, highlighted by a colour LED video display built directly into the playfield and a motorized Death Star that explodes with light and sound. Players can choose from four legendary characters – Luke, Leia, Han, or R2-D2 – each offering unique strategic advantages and mission paths. From the TIE Fighter bash toy to the lightning-fast “Hyperdrive” magnetic accelerator, every shot feels like a dogfight in deep space.

Why Play It?

Community veterans describe this as a ‘player’s game’ due to its deep multiplier system and punishingly fast orbits. It’s a masterclass in a risk-reward strategy where timing your ‘Force’ powers is key to a galactic high score.

Come test your skills and see if you’re brave enough to lead the Rebellion to victory and destroy the ultimate Death Star!

Rules

You can find the pinball machine rulesheet at this link:  https://tiltforums.com/t/star-wars-stern-rulesheet/2812 

You can find a summary of the rules below.

Main Objectives:

> Choose Your Path: At the start, pick a character. Each has unique perks (e.g. R2 D” has easier access to multipliers).

> Planet Missions: Complete missions on Tatooine, Hoth, Endor, and the Death Star. Finishing all missions on a planet unlocks a planet multiball.

> TIE Fighter Multiball: Repeatedly bash the centre TIE TIGHTER target and mash the action button to destroy ships and start the multiball.

> The Final Goal: Play through all planetary wizard modes to reach the Jedi Rank and the final confrontation.

Key Mechanics:

> Action Button Mash: When TIE fighter Assault is lit, hitting the centre target starts a mode where you must mash the lockdown bar button as fast as possible to destroy fighters for points.

> Video Mode: A classic asteroid-dodging or bike-racing mini-game on the display, usually qualified via the mystery award.

> Mystery: Hitting pop bumpers cycles through rewards shown on the screen, the Force targets collect the currently lit award.
