Star Wars pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Complete A-B-C to activate Cyclotron and raise Bonus X, then shoot the lit STAR WARS attack targets and use Cyclotron to finish any surviving enemy ships. Complete S-T-A-R twice and shoot the upper loop for Extra Ball; complete W-A-R-S four times in one ball to light Fire Laser Special.

The goal

Build A-B-C early so Cyclotron can finish an incomplete attack. When S-T-A-R is close, preserve that progress and take the upper-loop Extra Ball before chasing the longer W-A-R-S Special.

  1. Complete A-B-C to activate Cyclotron and raise the end-of-ball Bonus X.

  2. Shoot whichever STAR WARS targets, upper passages, Fire Laser, or Cyclotron shots are lit during the enemy-ship attack.

  3. Use Cyclotron to complete the destruction when an attack ends with enemy ships still remaining.

  4. Complete S-T-A-R twice, then shoot the upper loop while Extra Ball is lit.
