Star Wars: Death Star Assault - GALACTIC EDITION
Table version: 2.0 (May 2026)
PuP-Pack version: 2.0 (May 2026)
A long time ago (2005) on a pinball editor far, far away... this table started its long journey.
It started as the Sci-Fi Classic example table in 2005. Then SLAMT1LT created his Star Wars mod in 2010, which then evolved over the years to his Ultimate Pro version in 2020. I updated that table with my Epic Space Battles mod in 2021, and then for PinEvent afterward. As there were no more updates being shared by SLAM, I proceeded on my own. This resulted in a massive overhaul and update to the entire table which became my GALACTIC EDITION!
This table has been completely updated and modernized to use the newest BAM features to create an amazing real-time visual treat that will blow you away! Everything has been updated to the max and many cool new features have been added!
I've also added FizX for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy on VPX to completely change the physics for the flippers, slings, rubbers, targets, ball behavior and the entire table. This allows the table play much more realistically than anyone ever thought was possible on Future Pinball. You will be amazed at the difference!

What options can you try if your GPU has less VRAM (less than 6 GB)?
- you can enable Texture Compression (in FP video settings) which greatly reduces how much vram is used
- if you use a "Start FP" bat file, then you will also need to enable Texture Compression in that file!
- enabling Texture Compression may take a little longer to load, but not much

With the 2.0 update of the table, I have highly optimized the table to drastically reduce load times. Combine this with the new BAM v408 update, and you see a massive difference in load times!
Load times : from "clicking play" to "ready to start playing" (Intel i5 13600K CPU)
1.7 Table (Trilinear Filtering) = 55 seconds
2.0 Table (Trilinear Filtering) = 28 seconds
2.0 Table (Bilinear Filtering) = 16 seconds
