Features the cast of the theatrical Star Wars movies known as Episodes IV, V, and VI. The cabinet decal artwork and some playfield plastics are exclusive to this Limited Edition model. The Limited Edition translite and cabinet artwork feature the major characters from the Rebellion forces with the notable exception of Luke Skywalker.

The manufacturer advertised in their Game Features Matrix that an “Electric Gate in right drain lane saves the ball in play when lit” and our picture of this area of the playfield shows only an opening to the ball shooter lane. We suspect, but have not confirmed, that the outlane rollover activates a magnet under the playfield to divert the draining ball through this opening and back to the shooter lane.
