the caption reads:

son vs. dad

and it's sitting on top of some kind of transformers box or something.




sooooooooooo, what's up with this teaser pic? is it too early to jump to any conclusions about a new star wars pin?

i know there's probably a lot of posters that would poo-poo a star wars pin right off the bat since it's been done several times. i am not, however, one of those posters. i can tell you right now that a new star wars pin would most definitely be my second NIB purchase.



so.....thoughts on the teaser?
 
I sense a great disturbance in the force ............

I believe they are testing are opinions for Star Wars, because they are releasing all the Star Wars films back in theaters next year in 3d.

If Stern does this, I will be broke and divorced.......
 
Thanks for posting that. This is bad, bad, bad, bad. Bad. WTF Stern are you trying to kill me here? Broke and DIvorced? lol.

I think we have a good year - year and a half to save.

I was just thinking- i would LOVE to add a SW pin but too bad there are no good ones out there (Sorry, Sega and DE - those pins dont look well).

I am suddenly excited again. I thought Muppets might be the only Pin that would get me to bite for another - but SW would be the mother of them all (provided its based on the originals?).

Lets just wait and see.

A SR SW game? Man alive.
 
I guess... I know i'll hear it for this but I just can't stand star wars and I think pinball in general would be better served by a broader appealing theme. Lets face it this is not going to have lil kids lineing up to play it with all the newer more popular themes out there.

What would you suggest as better themes?

I don't really have one in mind per say but are you tellin me you can't think of anything more popular than star wars? Come on I know it has a massive and loyal following but is it really going to bring any new pinball players I think not. Hell as much as I despise harry potter even that seems to make more sense to me? Mabye its just the sci fi hater in me I'm just tired of seeing crap from star wars?

You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I can respect that. But I cannot believe you are saying that Star Wars is a kid unfriendly theme.
Kids buy action figures - not adults and that trilogy is WELL worth doing.
In my own opinion, I believe this is why Lord of the Rings is one of the top 10 games of all times. All 3 movies wrapped up into one machine.
Would I rather see a different title produced since there's already been what ... 3 or 4 SW's made? Well sure. Do I think this is a terrible theme to do again? Not at all.
 
I heard it will have a Death Star that will shoot a frikkin' laser into your eyes during multiball to mess you up...uses a Kinect built into the head box to track your face and target. :p

I've got 6 lil brothers and sisters and not one owns a star wars toy. Lotr is alot more recent and popular with todays kids than star wars by far!

i'm confused by this statement. especially when followed by this:


I know it has a massive and loyal following



it's cool if you don't like star wars......but dang, it's gotta be one of the most popular "things" in the ultraverse. george lucas isn't rich and fat for no reason. ;)

my 6 year old thinks star wars is just about the coolest thing ever. so do all of his friends.

you should see them playing lego star wars on the wii....i'm talking HOURS on end. then they dress up as star wars characters and play with light sabers.

it's as relevant today as it was in '77.





though my son DOES hate jar jar. god bless him. :)

Right it has a massive following of 40 yo dudes not school age kids. Wouldn't you want somthing more popular with TODAYS kids? How many are running around with star wars lunch boxes or backpacks anymore?

Must just be what your parents were into then because i am around a ton of kids all the time and don't think i've ever seen or heard any playing star wars? You are right about that lego star wars but I think thats just a good game like all those lego games.
