Looking at a couple of the other "Hankin" games it appears the playfield exhurbance was standard issue for them

LMFAO... I love what was written in the Internet Pinball Database on this pin:

"Last pinball machine built by this manufacturer. In The Pinball Compendium 1970-1981, David Hankin tells the author that their pinball production stopped due to video game popularity."

My a**... the other pinball manufacturers flourished in 1980-1981. The crash started in late 1982. More like because George Lucas sued his a** for everything he had...

Hankin wasn't sued over this pin, they legally licensed the theme from Lucas Film:

Looks like a wasted opportunity, both art-wise and layout-wise ( to me ).  Hate those useless stubby flippers.  Somebody with skills could make a kicka$$ pin with this theme.

The playfield is clearly a cross between Firepower and Space Invaders. It doesn't look unfinished to me... it just looks like a couple of playfields ripped off and mashed together.

And you wouldn't take it for $500? You can pass any ESB pins you find for $500 onto me.

Interestingly enough, Hankin manufactured all of their own parts and boards in-house. Maybe Waynus could take some hints from his Australian predecessors.

I played it in PinMAME a while ago.. it didn't seem too bad.  The sounds were decent for their time, lots of movie samples in there

If it lost about half of those lasers shots, the playfield would look less busy and a heck of a lot better.
