Star Wars - a new Hope

Well I should have known better, but you know what it's like - you're on a ferry for 2 hours, and there's a row of club machines flashing seductively at you it would be rude to say no.
Incidentally, the boat had one of THE worst selection of machines I've ever seen in one place.
3 x Cops n Robbers (the Deluxe version)
2 x Moneyspinner? (can't remember the name, it's a bit like Wheel of Fortune)
3 x Vivid clones
1 x Star Wars
1 x can't remember the name. It's got 2 sets of reels.. not bad, but I jackpotted it on my last trip.
So I threw a couple of nuggets into Star Wars. It was full, and giving let 'em spins and starts on 8 quid. It's got a block the size of a barn door (20 quid) but it was playing so well I tried to force a big win. About 60 notes in and it got past the block, was offering 50 quid cashpots and the like. Pushed on, and it gave me the top feature (auto-collect). Hurrah, thought I.
25 quid
Died a death after that. I stupidly persevered and eventually it started playing well again... but time was ticking, so I took Red Imperial Attack from the top zone (a feature it doesn't offer if it's blocking at 20 quid).
6 quid.
Brilliant. Well done Barcrest - another triumph.
