This Premium/LE build of Stern’s The Mandalorian delivers Brian Eddy’s 2021 design in its fully-equipped form, with the premium toys and trim that make it a showpiece. Eddy — the mind behind Attack From Mars and Medieval Madness — gives the hit Star Wars series a fast three-flipper layout bristling with standup targets and active pinballs, a left-ramp diverter feeding a mini-playfield, and an action button that commands the bounty hunter’s arsenal.
The game centers on hunting and upgrading. Hitting both ramps and the scoop starts a mission and lights an extra ball, while completing Hunter modes relights multiball and earns Beskar — the precious metal spent at the Foundry on equipment and armor that extends your multiball play. The signature move is the flamethrower: hold the action button to sweep every shot from right to left, setting them “on fire” for 2X scoring. The big-score route is stacking the Razor Crest multiball onto a mission, set up by hitting three up-the-middle shots before starting one.
Depth and charm abound, from buying extra balls at the Foundry to the Child’s mystery awards and a playfield multiplier that climbs to a roaring 6X via the lit Scope, Hunter, and Boba Fett targets. Whistling birds collect every award from the Child’s mystery. Fast, rich, and overflowing with personality, this top-tier Mandalorian is Eddy at his best — a modern crowd-pleaser with serious strategy under the hood, in its most collectible form. I have spoken.
