During yesterday’s episode of The Star Wars Show, Andi and Anthony announced that Zen Studios will be releasing two brand new tables for their Star Wars Pinball game featuring graphics and gameplay centered around The Last Jedi. One table features various elements from Episode VIII assembled together while the other table places the spotlight on Rey and her Jedi training with Luke Skywalker on the secluded island of Ahch-To.
Both tables are scheduled to arrive next month on April 17.
Lucasfilm’s dandy Dan Brooks recently had the opportunity to chat with Dávid Szűcs, the designer responsible for the creation of these new Episode VIII tables, in a new interview piece posted on StarWars.com. Check out the intro below and then take the supplied source link for the full interview as well as additional images of the two Star Wars Pinball tables.
Zen Studios’ excellent Star Wars Pinball, available via Pinball FX3, has continuously delivered inspired tables based on the Star Wars films (and even Star Wars Rebels!). So StarWars.com is excited to announce that the pinball saga continues on April 17 with the release of The Last Jedi pack for PlayStation 4, XBox One, PC, and mobile devices. Star Wars Pinball: The Last Jedi will feature two tables: one based on the movie, and one called “Ahch-To Island,” which focuses on Rey’s time with Luke. StarWars.com got some early play time with the game and loved it: The Last Jedi table impressively incorporates the film’s planets into the playfield, while offering cleverly designed paths and targets that trigger cool animations, like Finn versus Phasma, and you can also jump around in the story; on the Ahch-To table, ramps, habit-trails, and other elements are more organic, as if they’re part of the island. (Plus, based on your performance, Chewie can catch some porgs, which is just kind of amazing.) StarWars.com caught up over e-mail with Dávid Szűcs, Star Wars Pinball table designer, to discuss the making of The Last Jedi tables…and catching porgs.
