Second is the unmistakable two-line STAR WARS logo, yellow STAR over red WARS, centred in a blue starburst grid. Third, a grey cratered Death Star sphere floats in the upper right corner with a saucer-shaped Millennium Falcon below it and a white X-wing firing in the lower right. Fourth, a black lower band carrying two bright red LED score windows.

A backglass with a painted blue starburst grid backdrop (radiating and perspective grid lines on deep blue) and a centred logo in the upper half. The logo reads STAR in large chunky yellow-gold block capitals with a white outline and black drop shadow, stacked over WARS in red-orange block capitals outlined in white; beneath sits a small yellow cursive word inside a rounded lozenge that is not fully resolvable. A huge glossy black and steel-blue Darth Vader helmet portrait dominates the left half, three-quarter view facing right, with a black mesh snout mouth grille, dark eye sockets and red-brown rim light along the left edge of the dome. To the right of the logo, upper area, is a grey cratered spherical Death Star with a dished superlaser indentation. Upper left corner shows a dark TIE fighter silhouette angled down; mid right edge shows a white and grey saucer-shaped Millennium Falcon with a red marking. Lower centre-right is a white and grey X-wing starfighter seen from below with four orange and blue engine glows and long laser cannon barrels. The bottom third is a black translite-style score panel with two red seven-segment/LED score windows either side of a small centre window. Condition: dark, dusty, low-contrast, heavy reflections across the plastic.
