Well, I completely rebuilt this game over the past couple of days, I managed to have every needed part in stock! After playing a few games I am actually quite enjoying it. The modes get a bit repetitive starting them (Hit the middle, hit it again, OK, Hit it again!!) and it is about as easy a shot as there is in Pinball, but once you get 1 hit away you can scroll through the "Missions/Modes" to pick which one you get when you hit the shot to start, nice feature, especially when you are discovering what the game is all about and trying to see what you have. The build/light C3PO for lighting the extra ball is really easy, at least the first time through, not sure if it gets harder as you go along, but I hope so. Not to sure about the 2 saucer shots, when lit you get random awards for each, I haven't seen anything exciting from these, but they are fairly simple so it should be basic. I like the modes where you get to use the "outer" flipper buttons to shoot lasers at your enemies, again, nice integration into the game. I haven't noticed Anakin or Jar Jar being to annoying yet, so that is good, maybe coaching is turned off, I need to go look through the settings to see what the options are as far as game play etc. goes.
All in all it is a fun little game, I have only played a dozen or so games, but so far so good!
Oh, By the way, It never ever ceases to amaze me how different a Freshly rebuilt game plays, Rubber, Solenoids, playfield cleaned and waxed, lamps all working. If you think your game plays fine the way it is, rebuild it anyway!

I am not sure which I like better yet, I have only played a dozen or so games on the EP1 where as RFM I had before and sold it and now have it again. I am much more familiar with it. I am enjoying it more this time, but it needs to sit in the right place, both of them actually, I find them very dark, by design, and it gets hard to see. They need to sit kind of under a light so I can see the lower playfield but not really interfere with the Holograms.

The C3P0 rollover awards an extra ball the first time threw and then I think either a Jedi Letter or points the second time threw. It is harder the second time requiring more roll overs as the first time you are spotted a number of the necessary parts.
The random award holes start multiball, not the Darth Maul fight, but if you "Lock" both balls in each saucer you can launch a third for more shooting at the middle jackpots
