A not-so-long time ago, in a galaxy pretty nearby, fans lined up to buy toys of Captain Phasma, Kylo Ren and other brand new characters from a movie they wouldn’t see for another three months.

The Next Star Wars Pinball Trilogy Might Be Better Than The Last
The second triology of Star Wars tables for Pinball FX 2 and Star Wars Pinball begins with Darth Vader.
