Yup, I love Star Wars--my favorite game when I was a kid. Back in 84 I'd play it again and again--the Time Out arcade near me had the wonderful sit-down cockpit model. I haven't had the money to build a cab yet, and unfortunately I have no experience cutting wood so I'll have a steep learning curve, but I've been collecting controls for a while. One of the first things I bought was--guess what--a real Star Wars yoke! Saw it on eBay and had to have it. It's actually from the game Firefox, which used the exact same controller, and I bought a NOS Star Wars overlay for it so it'll look just like the one I used in 84 once I hack a control panel together, which I'll probably do before building the full cab. I had to bid over $90 to get that controller, BTW--but I think it's worth it to have the original controller, for when I finally get the time and money to build the beast.
