DPP #209 "24hrs with Star Wars...how is it?"

Fall of the Empire is fun but lacks theme integration; Don hints at new manufacturing role.

Synopsis

Don provides a detailed 24-hour hands-on review of Star Wars: Fall of the Empire after picking up his LE unit. While praising the game as fun to play with learnable shots and good replayability, he criticizes a fundamental disconnect between the fun pinball mechanics and Star Wars theming: the game feels like playing pinball while Star Wars content plays in another room rather than an integrated experience. He also announces a personal career move to a pinball manufacturer in Wisconsin, hinting at future project involvement without details.
