Notes:

Artist Marc Raneses told us that Morgan Weistling did the backglass and playfield art. Marc did the screen print production for the playfield and cabinet, and "the dots".

The full name of this game, The Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition, is found on the cabinet sides, the instruction cards, and the game manual. The abbreviated name, Star Wars, is found on the backglass, the cabinet front, and on the playfield underneath the cardholder.

In an online discussion in 1997, Orin Day stated that Neiman Marcus sold a "Collector's Edition" of this game in their Fall catalog (presumably that year). We don't have any pictures of it and don't know how many were in that edition, but Nieman Marcus had twelve "Collector's Edition" made of Sega's 1997 'The X Files' where in that listing pictures of it can be seen.

Notes:

Artist Marc Raneses told us that Morgan Weistling did the backglass and playfield art. Marc did the screen print production for the playfield. He said this was around the time he left Sega Pinball so he didn�t do much on this game.

Pictured in this listing is one of the twelve games co-branded with Nieman Marcus. In an online discussion in 1997 with Orin Day, someone asked him about the price of $6,500 for this edition, heard on a TV show. Orin replied there:

That price is for the "Collector's Edition" of The X-Files pinball, available only through the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog. Each one comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the design team and special software stating the "serial number" (i.e. 1 of 12, 2 of 12, etc.). Neiman Marcus sold a "Collector's Edition" of Sega's Star Wars Trilogy game in their Fall catalog.
