Stern Pinball Inc.'s Star Wars Pinball machine, originally released in 2017, is getting a makeover, with original, hand-drawn "Comic Art" from long time Lucasfilm artist Randy Martinez. The first version of Stern's Star Wars had pretty cool original compositions on its side art and backglass , but it sadly featured a lacking, photo-real art scheme on the playfield that just didn't feel very Star Wars. Despite the interesting gameplay, movie clips, and fantastic sound, the original art package held Star Wars back from being truly great. The Comic Art version seems to remedy this. Here's a taste of what each cabinet looks like (much more below!):

Below is a gallery of images of the Premium version of Star Wars with Comic Art including close-up shots of the many toys and features on the playfield as well as the art on the cabinet itself. The Premium version of Star Wars features the noticeable addition of metal ramps (instead of plastic), the hyperspace metal wireform ramp around the entire playfield, and an exploding Death Star toy -- all of which aren't found in the Pro. It also has unique side and backbox art. Check out the images below for a look at all of the machine's art:The Pro version of the machine has a different art package entirely, along with fewer features (see the description of the Premium above).
