Star Wars Episode 1 Pinball review. Classic Game Room reviews STAR WARS EPISODE 1 Pinball from Midway released in 1999 to celebrate the release of Star Wars Episide I. Admittedly, CGR is not a fan of Episode 1 and its CGI mishmash of terrible creatures like Jar Jar and Watto... sadly this carries through to the pinball machine. Star Wars Episode 1 pinball is part of Williams Pinball 2000 series of games that combined monitors and video game like graphics with traditional pinball gameplay. This ended up being Williams' last table and suffers from an over-use of the video display that conflicts with the pinball gameplay. Some players may love this feature which is creative and bounces a video image off the reflective glass, others will find it annoying and distracting.
