Star Wars

A portrait-orientation photograph of a solid-state electro-mechanical playfield seen under glass, lit by blue and purple LED backlighting. The artwork is a space-opera scene: a mottled grey sphere resembling a planet hangs top left; beneath it a burst of straight white light rays radiates from a cratered, tan-and-grey moon disc printed in the centre of the lower half. Three human figures stand in a printed row above the flippers: a man in a cream shirt and black quilted vest firing a red-blaster beam to the left, a woman with dark shoulder-length hair in a pale coat raising a dark blaster, a tall cylindrical blue-and-white two-legged robot droid, and a fair-haired man in a light grey jumpsuit firing a red beam to the right. Printed insert targets in white, red, yellow, green and purple triangles are scattered up the centre. Chrome ball guides and wireform ramps arc down both sides; there are two large flippers at the bottom, an oval green-ringed plaque and a red 'SHOOT AGAIN' disc. Dominant colours are blue, silver/chrome, black and white, with red, yellow and green insert accents.

A full-length solid-state playfield photographed under a clear, curved-top lockdown with blue and magenta LEDs glowing through the plastics. The art is a deep blue starfield with a huge sunburst of white rays radiating from a grey Millennium Falcon in the middle, ringed by concentric target rings labelled with Roman numerals. Left ramp flank spells FORCE in large cream block letters, and the printed title STAR WARS appears twice on the lower apron area, once in a white outline panel with the rule text and again as a white logo block, plus a gold-outlined STAR PINBALL WARS logo on the right apron. Figures printed on the lower half: Han Solo, Leia, a gold humanoid droid, Luke, Chewbacca (a large furry brown figure) and a Tusken Raider beside a fire-lit brazier, with a black-helmeted figure and a hooded figure in the upper centre and a Rebel pilot flying at the upper right. A black rectangular screen in the upper right reads STAR WARS / SHAPES INSERT SHOOT DENSITY. Physical hardware: two lower flippers, a blue wire ramp at upper left, drop-target banks, slingshots either side of the centre, a lit triangle insert, and QR-code decals. Dominant colours are deep blue, black, cream and magenta.

A dark, star-flecked space-themed pinball playfield, photographed looking down the length of the machine from the apron end, with the glass and chrome ball guides catching reflections. The artwork is painted in comic-book style with a deep blue and black starfield background, interrupted by a large grey spherical Death Star in the upper-left quadrant and a pale grey wedge-shaped capital ship lower-left of centre. Across the middle is a black oval badge with a purple and magenta nebula rim carrying the white stacked lettering STAR WARS over DEATH STAR, surrounding a shaded grey sphere. Two further tilted oval badges flank it: a blue one on the left and a red one on the right, both with white lettering. Fan-shaped white and blue speed lines radiate outward from the centre. Down the middle of the upper playfield stand four tall, brightly coloured lane guides and inserts in red, green, purple and blue, each carrying a small triangular light. Down the lower playfield a row of four character portraits is painted above four cream-coloured name circles reading HAN, LEIA, C-3PO and LUKE, and below them a black rounded caption box reads BATTLE ABOVE ENDOR. The lower deck is painted with billowing white and grey cloud swirls over green and blue, flanked by two slingshots and two lower flippers.

A painted, airbrushed backglass with a huge white block-letter STAR WARS logo on two stacked lines at top centre, heavy squared letters, faintly italicised, with a black drop shadow. Behind it is a cockpit canopy: black radial metal spokes dividing fan-shaped panes, and a brilliant white starburst of blue-white rays radiating from a small circle at the exact centre with a pale turquoise halo. Three figures fill the lower half, warmly lit from the right. At right stands a tall shaggy tan-and-cream-furred humanoid alien, broad flattened nose, heavy brow, sneering mouth with metal teeth, long matted hair and beard, wearing gleaming gold-coloured segmented armour over shoulder and arm. At left, in profile facing right, a dark-haired adult man in a dark grey high-collared jacket; below him a young boy in a cream tunic leans forward, brow furrowed. A grey-sleeved hand reaches out with fingers spread toward the alien. A brushed silver bar reading LIMITED EDITION spans the lower centre, with a red and gold Stern logo bottom right. Dominant colours: blue, white, gold, black.

A painted, airbrushed space-opera backglass with a collage of many separate scenes rather than one setting. At top centre, enormous blocky yellow-green capital letters spell the main title on two stacked lines against a black starfield, with a small TM mark. Left of centre, an enormous black-hooded masked head in three-quarter view dominates the upper left, its mouth grille and round respirator-like detail catching orange light. Upper right stands a green-and-white armoured soldier with a black visor and yellow shoulder plate, holding a tall black blaster upright; behind him a laser beam of green light cuts in from the top right corner and a moon or planet surface burns orange at the right edge. Centre is a pale grey-green wrinkled alien head in profile, with a goggled smaller figure to its right. Lower centre: two black-caped figures duel with glowing red and yellow lightsabres in front of a large purple-grey circular reactor or turbine ring, from which blue-white lightning arcs out to both sides. Lower left has a hooded figure in orange-brown robes with a dark face, plus a smaller black-haired figure. Lower right is a squad of five or six white-armoured soldiers, one firing a red bolt. Dominant colours: black, yellow-green, white, purple.

Wide backglass panel with a black outer frame and a busy comic-book space collage. A huge glossy black-armoured figure dominates the centre: domed black helmet with two red-tinted triangular eye lenses, a silver grimacing mouth grille, black cape sweeping to the left and steel-blue highlights on the armour, one gloved fist thrust towards the viewer at lower left of centre. A red-and-white streaking blade with a white hot core cuts diagonally from the centre to the upper right. Top left carries the title logo in huge white block capitals outlined in red with a black shadow, with a small TM mark. Behind everything is a dense starfield of white dots on black, with orange-yellow flame or explosion bursts behind the figure's shoulders. Top right shows a grey spherical space station with a round dish detail, and small grey fighter craft at the edges. Lower left shows a white four-legged walking gun turret and a white-helmeted trooper firing a rifle with an orange muzzle flash. Lower right shows a green-tinted forest battle: a helmeted figure in green and tan armour with a red-brown belt reaching forward, several white-armoured troopers, a white speeder bike amid brown tree trunks, and a red-bordered manufacturer mark.

Full backglass photo of a sci-fi fighter-jet pinball machine, with the painted insert above and the speaker panel below visible in the same frame. The translite shows three swept-wing delta jets converging in mid-air: a large blue jet pointing straight down at the viewer, head-on, flanked left and right by two more blue-and-white jets angled inward, all with twin tail booms and glowing yellow-white engine flames. The background is a starfield of white dots over black, with a large fiery orange-and-yellow explosion cloud on the left, a second orange fireball and a sweeping pale-yellow arc at the right edge, and a blue-and-white clouded planet surface curving across the bottom. Across the top, a yellow-and-orange sunburst banner carries a black script manufacturer name in a yellow circle emblem, with a huge blocky red title outlined in yellow and white below it, and a small TM mark at the title's right. Six seven-segment windows are set into black trapezoid bezels, labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4 around the edges with two central windows showing 08 and LO. Below the glass a red plastic strip carries tiny orange instruction words, and the speaker panel shows a red and yellow W emblem on a black disc flanked by eight copper speaker grille bars.

Painted airbrushed sci-fi ensemble backglass with a star-filled deep blue sky background scattered with white and pale blue dots. A huge black-helmeted figure in a flowing dark blue cape dominates the upper centre, red visor lenses glaring, grey triangular respirator mask over the mouth. Below him a crowd of figures stands on a reddish-brown desert dune: a shaggy brown-furred beast-man with bared teeth in the middle, a young dark-haired man in a cream tunic at centre holding a glowing blue-white blade vertically in both hands, flanked by a dark-haired man in an orange-brown jacket, a woman in a flowing white dress, a gold humanoid droid with round eyes, a headless robed figure with a green face, and a bearded man in tan robes holding a blaster. White-armoured troopers with black visors and black blasters kneel at both bottom corners. Space hardware crowds the sky: the grey Death Star upper left, a wedge-shaped fighter, disc-shaped fighters, winged fighters, and a large grey wedge-shaped capital ship lower right, plus blue-and-white and gold astromech droids. The title 'STAR WARS' sits top right in bold yellow block capitals with a thick red outline and a black drop shadow.

Full-bleed painted backglass on a black starfield. The centre-top carries the title 'STAR WARS' in huge white slab block capitals stacked on two lines, with an A whose crossbar is formed by a cog shape; a thin band of tiny red lettering runs directly beneath it. Left of the title stands a tall figure in glossy black ribbed armour and a heavy breathing mask with flared neck plates. Below him, left-centre, a figure in white, orange and green armoured plating with a green-tinted helmet visor and a backpack fires a long-barrelled blaster rifle to the left; a white-armoured trooper with a black visor crouches at the far left edge. Centre: two black silhouetted figures duel on a lattice walkway, one raising a red glowing blade and one a blue glowing blade. Right: a shaggy-coated young man in a blue shirt gazes upwards; a small green long-eared figure stands at the top right; a tall shaggy brown fur-covered figure holds a bowcaster; a man in a black vest over a white shirt points a blaster pistol. Lower centre is a bright red illuminated rectangular panel of glowing red bars, flanked by a gold humanoid droid and a small white-and-blue domed droid. A brown-haired woman in a cream wrap-style dress looks left. A red 'Stern' logo sits bottom right.
