How in the world do those multipliers work on Star Wars??

The mechanism seems complicated but it's really pretty easy. Shot multipliers are always available and indicated by the green "X" inserts. If you hit the action button the inserts turn red and can be moved left or right using the flipper buttons. Hit the action button again to lock them in position and turn back on.

When lit green each shot's value will be multiplied by the number at the top of the screen - minimum of 2X and a maximum of 40X!!

The multiplier value is increased by hitting the three standup targets below the LCD screen on the playfield. 1X at a time to a maximum of 20X. As you increase to 5x the number of shots lit green will drop to 2, and at 10 it will drop to one lit shot. BUT if you go too long without hitting the stand-ups the multiplier falls all the way back down to 2X. You'll know when you're getting ready to run out of time when you hear the *thumpthumpthump* sound start happening.

The fourth completion of the FORCE drop targets DOUBLES the multipliers until the first time your timer runs out.

If you don't want to mess with these, good news. You don't have to. Competitive pinball player Josh Sharpe recommends setting the multipliers for the u-turn shot and Endor ramp and going about your game as normal.

Phew! See? It's that easy. Once you play around with it a few times you'll pick it up quickly. It adds a great risk-reward element to the game. Do you dare take your hands off the flippers to hit the action button and move your multiplier to the final shot in the mode for big points? Give it a try some time!

Dungeons and Dragons outlane / magic saves explained:

Dungeons and Dragons has one shared inlane / outlane. Your ball is saved by hitting the magic save buttons located next to the flipper buttons. If the two rollovers in the lane are lit, the ball will be auto-saved BUT if you manually activate the magic save each time you can keep your auto-saves for later so always hit that button. You can add auto-saves by completing and re-lighting a set of stand-ups.

You have unlimited manual magic saves, but keep in mind there is a 1.5 recharge timer between saves so don't just mash the buttons. Believe it or not this game is set to be as kind with the magic saves as possible.

Getting used to this mechanism can take some work but once you get the hang of it this is one of the most fun solid state classics you can play! Give it a try!
