Notes:

This game is a reissue of Stern’s 2017 ‘Star Wars (Premium)’ but with completely new backglass, playfield, and cabinet art done in a “comic book” style. Per the manufacturer, everything but the artwork is the same as the 2017 version, including the factory illumination, while the reissued Operations Manual may have slight variations in part numbers. We note the manual itself has a different part number than before.
