The (un)told story of how Disney decided that Star Wars Slot Machines weren’t family-friendly enough and the Force lost the casino battle e2e5d
Two major celebrations are in the air. First, it is the Force Awakens, once again.
It is no small wonder. After the last reboot (1999-2005) there was a heavy feeling in the air that it might just have been the last one. Many even pondered that it might be for the best. But not really. Because the question must be asked – would you rather live in a galaxy that stars don’t war, or in one that they do?
Don’t even bother to answer that.
So spirits are high, and lines outside movie theatres are long. And not to spoil the fun, but it is time to touch on an unfortunate tale that left many, in our part of the galaxy, deeply disappointed.

For this tale we must delve deep into the past, to the year two-thousand and thirteen. Some of our older readers might that long-forgotten era when chats didn’t snap, when sticks weren’t all selfish.
It was an era with unbounded possibilities, an era that had gaming sites, were proud and jolly to have those awesome machines.
The gamers, tourists, and slot spinners all together were around the strip waiting in lines to have a go at them. It was a chance to combine two great American traditions – playing Star Wars slot machines, in casinos and online, was at an all time high.
Not many knew (actually everyone knew, it made huge headlines all over the world) that a mere few months earlier, the grandest deal of all was signed – on October 30, 2012, cool four billion really not enough?
In fact, the real question was: Disney – really? It was a terribly phrased question, but emotions were high and no one had the grammar-chops to phrase it properly. If you do a Google Image search for “Star Wars Disney” you’ll be able to grasp to general mood that prevailed after the deal was announced.
Attention Disney – Slot Machines Are Very Friendly b5i2a
The fears of the fans indeed turned to be justified. The first business as the minted owners of the Star Wars franchise was to deem the themed-slot machines as un-family-friendly.
Which is odd. Dad is part of the family. So are aunt Meredith and granny Eleanor. When we visited Vegas last spring, they were glued to the time as the Star Wars ones. It was a painful defeat for the Force, and a skewed victory for the forces of twinkle and sparkle.
We wish we could finish this article with a quote from George Lucas saying how much he was disappointed by the discontinuation of the Star Wars slot machines. But sadly, we couldn’t find such a quote. But we did manage to get a hold of Chewbacca. He had this to say: “RWGWGWARAHHHHWWRGGWRWRW!”
