Star Wars
About This Machine
The 1987 Star Wars pinball machine was manufactured not by Williams or Bally, but by Segasa, doing business as Sonic, in Spain. It stands as a notable example of a European manufacturer producing a licensed Star Wars pinball machine outside the American Williams/Bally lineage, alongside later titles such as Data East's 1992 Star Wars.
Gameplay features three flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, ten standup targets, and two spinning targets, all set beneath a plexiglass playfield that adds durability. The manual reportedly leaves the operation of a feature called the "Cyclotron" unexplained, adding a bit of mystery to the ruleset even for those who own the machine.
Details about the machine's designer, artwork, and specific theme presentation are not well documented, but its Spanish origin and licensed Star Wars branding make it a point of interest for collectors of international and licensed pinball machines.
