Quoted from Pinbarclay:It’s absolutely a shit movie, but I could see it working well as a pin actually. Good concepts, art, and mech possibilities.
I was 11 when Ep 1 came out, I have a ton of nostalgia and love for that movie. Kid me had no idea how 'bad' of a movie it was. Jar Jar was kind of funny, Maul was awesome, the pod race was one of the coolest things I had ever seen in a movie, Padme was cute, the ships/droids/planets were new and cool etc etc.
They might be a few years early to fully capatilize on the nostalgia though.
I am a fan of the 'soft licenses' Stern has been doing (JP, Kong, Godzilla, FF, D&D etc) that gives them more creative freedom. I don't love the 'play through the movie' (Star Wars, Jaws, HP) thing as much. I would prefer a unique game in the Star Wars universe (Vader, Anakin, Clone, Pilot etc) over 'Ep1 the pinball machine' but I think I am in the minority.
