Table Instead Of Power: We Tried Star Wars Pinball

In total, you can let off steam on 19 different tables, which are not only built very lovingly and in detail, but also hold numerous secrets. If you hit the right elements on the table, you can unlock mini-games that loosen up the well-known pinball gameplay.

Among other things, you can hunt enemy X-Wings on board a tie-fighter and avoid asteroids, which is strongly reminiscent of the classic Space Invaders. Elsewhere you compete with Darth Vader in the lightsaber duel and have to parry the attacks of the seat lord at the right time.

So that less experienced pinball players can enjoy these mini-games, they can also be started in the career mode. In this you can demonstrate your skills at the pinball table in a total of 300 chapters.

These are (not) the episodes you are looking for

For the tables and mini-games, Star Wars Pinball is not limited to the original film trilogy from the 1970s and 1980s, but offers content from episodes 4 to 8, the spin-offs Rogue One and Solo and the two series Clone Wars and Rebels. Unfortunately, no separate tables were dedicated to prequel episodes 1 to 3, but characters like Darth Maul and Qui-Gon Jinn appear here and there.

It is a pity, however, that only James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, apparently uses original sound clips. All other characters have been re-set and sometimes have more and less similarity to the known original voices.

If you don't let that bother you, you will still get a lot of Star Wars atmosphere, not least thanks to the well-known soundtrack, which of course shouldn't be missing in Star Wars Pinball.

Star Wars Pinball has been available for the Nintendo Switch since September 13, 2019 - and can even be played for professionals in the stylish, vertical Tate mode.
