Fans are divided over whether they prefer this pinball or [[Pinball/StarWarsDataEast Data East's table]]. Proponents of ''Star Wars Trilogy'' speak of its uncluttered playfield, more balanced gameplay, and fun toys. The biggest flaw for this pinball is arguably its reliability, as a number of owners will point out problems with loose parts and unreliable mechanisms that require some effort to resolve.

The most prominent features of the playfield are the spaceships, with the player's X-Wing facing off against Vader's TIE Advanced; a turbolaser turret fires between them, while a frozen Han Solo sits on the lower-right side. There are six tasks that the player must complete, such as scoring various jackpots, performing heroic deeds, and thawing Han from the carbonite. Only then can the player confront Darth Vader by loading a pinball into the X-Wing, knocking down his phalanx of TIE fighters, then scoring a direct hit on his ship. Use the Force to light the jackpot and try for the Millenium Falcon's multiball, but be prepared to [[UnexpectedGameplayChange test your knowledge of ''Star Wars'' trivia.]] Operators could add extra visual appeal by choosing a 3D lenticular backbox print instead of the standard one.

* WizardMode: "The Redemption of Darth Vader", which is only available after completing Vader's six goals. Starting it invokes a two-ball multiball mode for 50 seconds. During this time, the player must load one pinball into the X-Wing, use the second pinball to hit the dropdown targets in front of Vader, then launch the first ball through the resulting hole.
