DPP #204 "So about Star Wars..."

Star Wars pinball delayed by Disney marketing approvals; Don explains licensing nightmares.

Synopsis

Don discusses Star Wars pinball's delayed marketing reveal, attributing it to licensing approval bottlenecks between Stern and Disney rather than production issues. He provides extensive commentary on pinball licensing complexities, including how licensors restrict custom voice actor callouts and enforce strict marketing approval processes. He also reviews recent releases and updates including Cactus Canyon shipping, Galactic Tank Force updates, and warns against supporting the cursed Retro Atomic Zombie Adventureland project.
