Stern declares and releases Star Wars software version 1.00.0

Version 1.0 includes a host of fixes, tweaks and NEW STUFF, including new choreography for the hot dog modes.

Also, R2-D2’s Shot Multiplier X enhancement is not the only perk that works now.

By default, 4th missions do not stack with other missions. So, goodbye to the multiball/mission straddle strategy.

LE/PREMIUM V1.00 - December 11, 2017
====================================
Moved to System 1.88:
 - Reworked boot time displays for node board firmware update and locating node
   boards.
 - Added boot time display for overcurrent detected (shorted coil or LED) on
   node boards.
 - Added support for dynamic detection and isolation of overcurrent coils or
   LEDs. Previous behavior would disable all coils and LEDs for 1/2 second each
   time a short was detected. New behavior will determine the short coil and/or
   LED and disable only the offender.
 - Added tech alert for overcurrent coils and LEDs on node boards. New
   diagnostic test to retest node board and report with coils/LEDs are drawing
   too much current.  Excessive current draw could be the result of a shorted
   coil, an incorrect replacement LED/incandescent bulb, shorted light socket,
   et cetera.
 - Every 15 minutes during attract mode overcurrent coils/led will be rechecked
   and returned to service if operating correctly.
 - Added adjustment for "GAME PLAY B.BOX BRIGHTNESS"
 - Renamed "BACKBOX BRIGHTNESS" to "ATTRACT MODE B.BOX BRIGHTNESS"


Fixed: 
 - FORCE targets will no longer play a sound effect when reset during game over
   or ball search.
 - MYSTERY, PICTOPOPS and SKILL SHOT were sometimes awarding LIGHT ESCAPE
   when it couldn't be lit.
 - The center instruction display panel, during main play, will now indicate
   when FORCE targets will award LIGHT VIDEO MODE correctly.

   mode is running.
 - You can no longer start TIE FIGHTER MULTIBALL while it is already running.
 - During JEDI MULTIBALL victory celebration, the ADD-A-BALL function was
   still enabled even though it would be lost if used.  This has been fixed.
 - START MISSION as LUKE with multiple groups lit was displaying the wrong
   image for DEATHSTAR III: FIGHT TIE FIGHTERS.
 - CHOOSE YOUR PATH was offering HYPERSPACE HURRYUP when it wasn't playable.
 - Sometimes the "NEXT AWARD" shown on the small display for TIE
   achievement levels was not correct.
 - The HEADPHONE CABLE KIT DETECT switch during ACTIVE SWITCH TEST was 
   overlapping the switch information.
 - The shot multiplier was always 1X when playing VIDEO MODE from HOTH I.
   It now uses the RIGHT INNER LOOP's multiplier correctly.
 - If LIGHTSABER DUEL was played multiple times, only the most recent victory
   or defeat was used to qualify towards JEDI MULTIBALL. Now any LIGHTSABER
   DUEL victory will qualify.
 - Very long tournament player names displayed during attract mode were being
   truncated.
 - Greatly improved process stability. The game will no longer hold on to the
   ball when it should not. Also the some of the mechanical devices will be 
   better behaved. Also the screen should no longer freeze during TIE Fighter 
   Assault.
 - Improved lamp effect resource allocation. The game will no longer crash from
   missing resources.
 - Sometimes Slave One would appear to be stuck or reappear too quickly on the
   background display.

        - To destroy the Death Star you need to first light the inner left
          loop.
        - To light the inner left loop you have to complete 3 other shots
          before the timer runs out.
        - Each shot will start a timer for the next shot.
        - The 3 bank will add time. The center target will add the most time.
        - If the timer runs out the Death Star will destroy a Capital ship and
          the mission will reset. You will need to complete 3 shots once more.
        - Once the inner left loop is lit, shoot it to destroy the death star.
        - Destroying the Death Star will take you to Victory Multiball.
 - Added new rules and choreography to ESCAPE FROM HOTH. To complete this
   mission you have to fire ion cannons so your transports can escape. Also you
   need to destroy an AT-AT. Afterward you will be able to get to the Falcon
   and "Punch it":
        - The spinner and pop-bumpers will build your award value. Shoot the 
          left orbit 3 times to fire an ion cannon. Then the 3-bank will
          collect the last award of this part. 
        - Afterward the 3-bank will continue to increase the award value.
        - Shoot the inner loop 4 times to wrap your tow cable around the legs
          of an AT-AT to bring it down.
        - Last two ramp shots are needed to light the final HOTH shot.
        - Shooting the final shot will allow Han and friends to escape from
          Darth Vader and start Victory Multiball.
 - Added new perk for playing Leia. Your shot multiplier is now +3X if you
   are playing as Leia and you are playing in a 4th Mission multiball.
 - Added compensation to the FORCE DROP TARGET BANK. If the DISABLE LEFT DROP
   TARGETS adjustment is set to YES, then the game will spot a FORCE target
   when any of the 9 standup targets are hit. The skill shot on the FORCE
   TARGETS will also be disabled.
 - Added new rules and choreography for ESCAPE FROM TATOOINE.
        - Shoot the alternating shots of left ramp and right inner loop to
          progress the story of Luke getting to the yacht, retrieving Leia,
          and exploding Jaba's Yacht.
        - There 9 parts to the story.
        - Along the way the 3 bank, right ramp, and right eject will increase
          your award value.
        - So you have a choice of going straight for the end or trying to
          maximize your scoring potential.
        - Completing the 9 shots will start Victory Multiball
 - Added a Perk for playing Han during ESCAPE FROM BOBA FETT. If you are
   playing Han during, each leg of the gauntlet will have higher base value.
