Welcome to Stern’s newest release, Star Wars: Fall of the Empire pinball. This fresh layout made by designer John Borg (designer of the 1992 Data East Star Wars). This is not a remake of the 2017 'Steve Ritchie' Star Wars pinball. Players will take part in the adventures that started it all and experience iconic Star Wars  inspired moments through this pinball experience. Players will take down the AT-AT by attaching their snowspeeder’s tow cable and shooting the spiral ramp to send it crashing down, mirroring the breathtaking scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Destroy the Death Star from Return of the Jedi by lowering shields on the battle station during Death Star Multiball, and save the galaxy. Players can also escape from Cloud City when reactivating the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive by hitting the center jump ramp to escape to hyperspace. Throughout the pinball experience, players will enter Jabba the Hutt’s Sarlacc Pit, battle stormtroopers, defeat TIE fighters, and have the ability to "use the force" to save their ball (even past the lower flippers), on the journey to defeat the Empire. Feel the power of the dark side as you enjoy special Darth Vader inspired game modes.

    Featuring more than 1,000 high-quality film and audio assets (integrated in with actual gameplay), the Star Wars: Fall of the Empire pinball game features the iconic movie score in addition to hand-drawn, vibrant artwork. The games feature 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 with a fresh take in our new pinball machine is a dream come true for our team who grew up as fans,” said Seth Davis, President & CEO of Stern Pinball. 

    Star Wars: Fall of the Empire pinball games launch on Stern’s next-generation SPIKE 3 technology platform, which includes a larger 18.5” full HD display with true color depth, along with a more powerful processor, and a new immersive audio system. SPIKE 3 electronics also feature more efficient power handling, improved Wi-Fi support, and wireless headphone capabilities.
