Great video, Bill! I am glad you were able to pick this one up! Love my first run unit. Love to have the coin door but I am happy with it none the same😎
Nice pickup Bill. I have major Nostalgia with this cabinet. I'm with Bones, the third game never did anything for me and I was torn on how much I was going to play the cabinet to justify the purchase since I have the games already on the ALU. Maybe an XL version would be in the future and then I probably would have to get it. This is def one of the best cabinets a1up makes to date and a real beauty, congrats.
Nice review! I missed the first release, too, so I had to buy this as soon as it was announced. I'm loving the cab, but I definitely agree it could use online leaderboards. Subscribed!
My unit will arrive on tuesday. £586 on Amazon. £114 off and cost spread over 5 months Could not say no to that deal. Will look fantastic in my games room. Subbed.
There are two arcade games that were my absolute favorite things to find in an Arcade: Tron and Star Wars. Even as an adult, I cannot go past one of these machines without dropping a quarter so there was no question in my mind that as soon as I was able, I would be picking this up. I got Tron first a few months ago as my first A1U, and Star Wars wars was my last A1U (I’m sure I’ll pick up deals as they come along, but nothing specifically is planned for at least a while). It really is the Uniqueness of the Yoke controller that sets this cab apart. Combined with the wireframe look of the vector graphics that lets you fill in the surfaces with your imagination and memories from the movies, and the authentic sounds and music and it all comes together into a really immersive experience. Perhaps younger generations won’t have the nostalgia and love for this cabinet that I had growing up with these games being such an enormous influence, but I have it in my home and that makes me happier than I can express in words.
I had this cab since before Xmas but it’s still in the box (along with my psvr2 and other goodies) but I do t have much free ti e as I spend it all with my son.
Nice review. Such a shame A1Up took the price gouging option with their international customers. It’s $850 equivalent in the UK and still not sold out at either retailer selling it. Giving it a miss.
yea, that sucks. I can understand taking a pass at that price. It was a tough pill to swallow at 599. But this was a must have for me, so I went for it. But I get where you're coming from for sure.
It's been a while since I put this together, so I honestly don't remember how the marquee looked before assembly. I personally think this one looks really good. If I remember correctly, most people thought the original one was OK (not great, just OK), but some people noticed that you could make out the wire for the lighting behind the marquee. I will say that you can't notice anything like that here. So, in that respect it's a better one than the original.
I own the original SW A1U cab and it's my favorite out of the 4 that I have. This newer one has no real upgrades to it, so there is no point in me getting one.
I've thought about this cab a lot cause I'm kinda more after unique controls. But I'm not sure how much me or the kids would play the first 2 games after say a month. Third game is completely uninteresting to me. Then the million dollar question what if they finally get to Sega Trilogy?? Cause that's what we all really want!
I love the original star wars so I'm very happy with this. 100% on the Star Wars Trilogy though - and if that comes out I may just have to get it as well.
I was tempted for the sane reasons but with room running out , I just get cabs that I will play and this one is not one I played much in the arcade but still a cool cab. No leaderboards is a big miss though.
Love this Cab. So Glad I pulled the trigger and got the re-release!. May the Force be with You!
Nice job Bill, enjoyed the video!
Thanks pDubs 👍
Great video, Bill! I am glad you were able to pick this one up! Love my first run unit. Love to have the coin door but I am happy with it none the same😎
Like the intro, great video! Picked up this long awaited rerelease myself and love it
Thanks! And glad you're enjoying it too!!
Bought this puppy in 2019 upon release, and still ecstatic with it

Good review!
Wish you could upload other games that the yoke can work with 😊
It's the same as the original A1up Starwars besides some cosmetic changes for an extra $200. It should of been an XL.
I had this cab since before Xmas but it’s still in the box (along with my psvr2 and other goodies) but I do t have much free ti e as I spend it all with my son.
This cabinet wasnt available before Christmas. Do you mean the older Star Wars cabinet?

It's £582 on amazon right now.
@@nocountrymembers5852 it was £466 on prime day apparently. Expect it to go there again on Black Friday.
Is this a reverse printed marquee ? The marquee on the first release needed to be replaced in my opinion.

@@BillsRetroGamingShow Trilogy has to happen! Forget more fighting cabs. Need more Sega.
Is that Professor Frink from the Simpsons?
I only bought this because of the different controls but I have no love for any of these days more like functional furniture

I hope you didn't pay over 200 bucks for the first generation crap
