Design and layout
With a production run of 10,400 machines this was Data East's most successful pinball game. It features the voice of Darth Vader, a video mode, and a rotating silver globe representing the Death Star.[3] On the left, above the 4 pop bumpers, is R2-D2 who can rotate and move up and down.
Gameplay
Reception
In a brief review CVG rated the machine at 89%.[5]
An article in The Flipside appreciated the music but found the voices hard to understand. The rule of the ballsaver turning off after two switches are hit was found to be unfair. While rule development had improved over earlier Data East games, the main objective was still to get jackpots in triball (i.e. multiball).[4]
A semi-official update, tweaking and refining the gameplay rules was released 20 years later.[6]
