Star Wars LE is a Limited Edition pinball machine manufactured by Stern Pinball, released in the mid-2020s as part of their premium game lineup. Originally priced at $13,000 at launch, the machine is notable in the pinball community as a prominent example of rapid depreciation, with units losing $3,000+ in value immediately post-release. The game exemplifies broader market trends in modern pinball where Limited Edition releases experience steep secondary market devaluation, making it a frequently cited reference point in discussions about pinball investment and dealer economics.
