Enter the Sarlaac pit and collect Jabba's Bounty, then shoot the Death Star and start Tri-Ball for a chance at the Double Jackpot.

General consensus is that ''Star Wars'' is a fun and diverse pinball game, though there is too much emphasis on shooting the center ramp. It would eventually become Data East's most popular pinball table, with over 10,000 machines made. In December 2012, Creator/SternPinball (who inherited Data East's pinball assets) released a software update for the game, which made major revisions to the ruleset. The revised software by Chad Hendrickson and other hobbyists fixed bugs, improved game balance, and added various tweaks.
