Stern’s Star Wars Home Edition, released in 2019 and designed by George Gomez, is a streamlined, affordable take on the galaxy built specifically for the home market. Where the full Star Wars machines are sprawling, feature-dense affairs, the Home Edition pares the design down to its essentials — a clean two-flipper layout with twin ramps, a three-bank of drop targets, a spinning target, and a 2X scoring mode — making it an accessible, budget-friendly way to bring a Star Wars pin into the game room.
The scoring keeps things approachable. Your first hero shot before you spell FORCE lights that corresponding hero, giving you a simple, satisfying goal to organize your shooting around, while the ramps and drop targets feed a multiball that scales from two to four balls. Custom speech and an LCD keep the theme front and center, and clever cost-saving touches — both slingshots firing together, the top two pop bumpers operating as one — keep the machine simple and reliable without sacrificing the fun.
It’s not the deepest Star Wars table, and that’s by design: the Home Edition is meant to be welcoming, durable, and easy to enjoy for players of all skill levels, the kind of machine a family can gather around. For fans who want the thrill of a Star Wars pin without the complexity or cost of a full-feature model, it’s an ideal entry point. The galaxy, brought home — may the Force be with you.
