I really like mine. I noticed that my flight stick was a tad bit off center right away but I thought it was just my machine. I'm glad to know that all of them are like that so now I don't have to be concerned. It doesn't affect the gameplay at all though, you're right about that. I do NOT notice however any "tension" when turning the yolk to the right. Good review, it's not my favorite Arcade 1Up cabinet, but it's still beautiful and fun to play.

So they did several things right on this cab. Bright Marquee, good monitor, nice yoke, lit coin doors, but there are few things that missed the mark that are bugging me more, and more. 1 st. The side profile of the cabinet is wrong. I mean pretty wrong. And 2nd I wish they would have molded control panel like the original. I do plastics for a living, and the cost would have been minimal. But I am glad they got a lot of it right. I just hope if they make deluxe version they fix these issues.

I bought Star Wars when it was first released in October 2019. It is still my all-time favorite A1Up and still their best release IMHO. The original arcade yoke used plastic gears that would wear down over time. The A1Up stock yoke has a large spring in the x-axis, which causes the yoke to spring back into place. It loosens up over time, and I *think* I've been the only person to break it thus far (AND I also managed to break the GRS yoke - haha). The GRS yoke is made of mostly metal, but it also doesn't use gears like the original arcade yoke. The GRS yoke also feels lighter than the original arcade yoke, especially on the y-axis. And there is also the Alan-1 yoke, which uses metal gears. I never used the Alan1 yoke, but I hear it is much heavier than the GRS yoke. It costs over a $100 more than the GRS yoke - AND you still need to buy an A1Up adapter. You would also need to cut out a bigger hole on the control panel to mount the Alan-1 yoke. The stock yoke does work fine if you choose not to upgrade.

Congrats on the pickup. I think its a def improvement over the original release. I recall Shelion moving an og marquee over to the new one. I have to take issue with one thing you said though, you said they didn't cut corners and there is where I disagree. If Arcade1up went to the trouble to add the lit coin door and change the side art, why didn't they just make an XL with the bigger screen? Maybe someone can chime in on the control binding you demonstrated as that looks to be normal action of the tension springs, I'd do the GRS flight yoke if I had the cabinet, from what I have seen the action is smoother, but I understand staying stock. Of the A1up cabinets, few appeal to me, but this is on the short list, with the drivers, shooters and of course Tron, Golden Tee, this is probably the coolest of them. I have fond memories playing that cabinet as a kid, the audio track from the star wars game plays in my head as IU type this. Thanks for the great review Phil.

Hi Carl, I wouldn’t be surprised if A1up came out with an XL next year after these sold out. I’m happy with the 3/4, but an XL would like pretty cool too.

It’s a special looking cab I’m glad I picked it up, I haven’t bought an A1up since November. The MVSX, AtGames and iircade have all been great purchases and Star Wars is too. I hope we see the light gun games for iircade soon, think I should pick up a sinden soon. Thank you for watching Carl, I really appreciate you sharing too!
