All Sterns have a yellow tag under the lockdown bar that tells you how many balls to load.

Thanks I remembered seeing it somewhere…

I don’t have the game on hand or nearby and was about to order some balls

Yes, at least the Premium has 6 balls.

It takes quarters.

On any new stern, if you check on the lock down bar, there is a label that will tell you how many balls that game needs to play.

What mode puts all 6 balls in play?

Thanks for this information- I am having the same issue- I have reached out to the contact that you indicated and awaiting a response

this is the way definitely does and if you add a ball with I like those odds in the upper playfield, etc.

Thanks, I haven't gotten that far. Challenge mode doesn't give 6.

took me about 2000 plays to finally get to this is the way. I’ve gotten it 3 times since. So much fun

Joined the club today with an LE, loving it!

This is the way!

nice

Awesome pair for sure. It would be nice to have a Star Wars for a while to figure it all out.

After some plays what do you think of the topper?

What wire from the cutoff plug goes where on a direct hookup? And do all 3 connection points shown in the photo need to be connected?

Hoping for a big update to the topper soon.

Have you heard anything about this or just hoping?

Just hoping mate. It needs to be far more interactive and cohesive to what’s happening in the game. Hopefully stern give Dwight the time to fully flesh it out.

It has been mentioned that they are fixing the beskar counter, but not much more info than that.

A topper that costs that much needs to be fully interactive to justify the price and utilize the screen feature. Here’s hoping Stern sees it that way too. If they put in the code to make it killer, then almost no one will care about the steep entry price.

Agreed, the mando madness mode is great but the rest is very underwhelming. Also over a month to fix the beskar issue as well as the first load of and the topper staying on the boot screen just makes the topper price hard to swallow.

Hoping it's any day now....

These sold out almost immediately, no? The price already doesn't matter.

I’ve been called/e-mailed by several distributors in the last 2-3 weeks to see if I wanted one because I was interested at one point. Nice of them to reach out, and they may be sold by now, but they didn’t sell out immediately like most topper runs do - I’m sure price was the factor.

awesome side rails ! !

Nice!

Seems like a pretty weak update. What about the random resets? I haven't updated in a long ass time cause it always seems like there is an issue with every new update.

I take every update and have pretty much plowed through everything but the final wizard mode and can’t remember the last time I had it lock or reboot on me.

Okay so it fixed the beskar. Boot version still shows in attract before starting a game. I do like the choice to change the theme of the razorcrest, but you have to select it and play a game to see it. You'd think it would preview it when selecting which option. Like 5 options, Noir, Ice, Sunset, and 1 or 2 more. I really do like the Sunset. In a hurry or else I would've went through and tested them all, but I'm pretty happy with sunset.

For those looking, it's feature adjustment #50 in the game menu. The 5 new colors themes are as follows
Noir - (Default) Normal Blue
Bright - Cool White
Ice - Another Blue
Sunset - Warm white
Life Day - Pulsing Green and Red

So life day kinda seems like Wookiee Christmas, so it is fitting that it is red and green

Life Day was a holiday of Wookiee tradition that celebrated family, joy, and harmony—values and tenets of Wookiee culture. Traditionally held at the Tree of Life on the forested Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk, celebrations were held by people across the stars after "The Dark Times" of the Galactic Empire. Making the Wookiee holiday their own, people marked the day with festive décor, lights, feasts, and music, where sentients were reminded of compassion—the promise of the Tree of Life.

They didn't fix the boot version in attract mode, yet charge $2k for a topper? Let alone updates with the loud Duck noise are beyond annoying.

Someone's slacking over there..... the accounting department looks to be on their game with $$$ increases, and the web design team is on point changing those, but we can't get fixes on a pricey topper code after 40+ days, nor "paid" update feature with insider connected and the loud duck update noise.

:golfclap:

Not a topper owner, but definitely appreciate that the theme option adjustment made it into an update at all. +1 for the "good guys" at Stern, imo.

Sorry you guys still have a few bugs, but at least they're paying attention to the clamoring.

I am kinda wondering as new seasons of the mandalorian come out would it be possible to add new video scenes from the new seasons into the game down the line?

Or are the video asset super complicated and what we got as far as video clips is it ;

Not complaining just thought it would be cool if future patch could add in some new scenes to make the game feel more modern as new seasons are released ;

1500 plays in and games getting a little better still absolutely brutal and my game settings are all ridiculously easy;

Still can’t regular backhand that right or left ramp ; and I’ve heard many call it a backhanders Delight sigh

New content would be amazing.

C'mon,what do you expect for your 8000 bucks or more?

This has never happened and never will imo.

I would suggest "never will for free". Surely Stern knows this hobby will pay them for future seasons added if they add a web store.

It’s not that simple. They would have to get back with the licensor to get the approval and then pay for it. Who knows how hard or costly that would be.

Mando topper installed today

I was really hoping for the update to take care of the upper playfield flippers flipping when there is no ball up there. Call me OCD, but it drives me a little crazy. I picked up TSPP this past year & immediately purchased the PI-SIM board from France to take care of that same issue. What is the hold up on Mando ?

That was my thoughts exactly. Disney is strict with their licensing. The best you can hope for if you want new content is for someone to make a custom media package with pinball browser

Would you mind sharing what stand you used for those black series helmets? Looks great!

I have that same Mando helmet that I've considered putting up top (maybe with some flashers on the corners tied into the game) since I can't rationalize an official topper.

... wrong thread, sorry

Agree. I definitely only have topper FOMO for looks only. Since the last code was buggy (resets, multi balls not starting properly) it helps me to hang back on old code and just enjoy that. Not sure why the last 2 Dwight games have reset issues or that it's even code vs. hardware, but Turtles was also frustrating because it just killed a ton of good games.

I definitely will be. I think you might have dropped this comment in the wrong thread though.

On mine it is feature adjustment #56.

That's the stand, should also be available in the US.
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B09DT1GV6S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00

You cannot put the stand on it, it will slide and fall off. Came up with a kind of redneck construction but which works great and is sturdy.

What you need:

- 1 Stern start button, the smaller SAM ones, remove the switch, light and button
- 1 washer to fit the button, you need to dremel the button housing a little bit to fit it into the back
- 1 longer screw which fits the helmet stand thread

From the helmet stand remove the base, it is screwed. Take the start button and modify it slightly that it can fit a washer (back side), should be a tight fit. Take a long screw and put it through the button from the back. Add the helmet stand on top of the button and screw it back together.

Then you have basically the stand with a Stern start button mounted at the button. Take off the plug from the top of your game, where the cables for your topper usually would go through. Open your backbox and remove the backglass. Insert the start button on the top, should be an exact fit.
Screw the start button tight from the inside of the backbox with the plastic nut.

Feel free to reach out to me for any questions Hope this is understanable.

It must be #50 on the Pro, #56 on the Prem
