Star Wars: Fall of the Empire Limited Edition Pinball Machine Stern Pinball is excited to bring Star Wars™ to existing and new generations of pinball players, taking them on an epic adventure to save the galaxy with a fresh take on the original trilogy. In Stern Pinball’s Star Wars: Fall of the Empire pinball game, players will take part in the adventures that started it all and experience iconic moments through a unique pinball experience. Players will take down an AT-AT by attaching their snowspeeder’s tow cable and shooting the spiral ramp, mirroring the scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Destroy the Death Star II from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi by lowering its shields during Death Star Multiball. Players can also escape from Cloud City by reactivating the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive with the center jump ramp. Throughout the game, players will enter Jabba the Hutt’s palace, battle stormtroopers, defeat TIE fighters, and use a Force-inspired save. Special Darth Vader-inspired modes let players feel the power of the dark side. Accompanying the over 1,000 high-quality film and audio assets integrated into the gameplay, the Star Wars: Fall of the Empire pinball game features the iconic movie score and hand-drawn, vibrant artwork. The game includes custom audio call-outs from actor Chris Bartlett as C-3PO. “Star Wars is one of the most iconic franchises in entertainment history, and bringing it to life in our new pinball machine is a dream come true for our team,” said Seth Davis, President & CEO of Stern Pinball. “We always want to deliver an immersive, high-energy experience, and there’s no better way to do that than with Star Wars.” The Star Wars: Fall of the Empire pinball game launches on Stern’s next-generation SPIKE 3 technology platform, which includes a larger 18.5” full HD display with true color depth, a more powerful processor, and a new immersive audio system.
