SW- FOTE- Jabba Mod
Our Jabba Replacement Mod
Our Jabba Replacement Mod is a fully re-engineered, interactive Jabba sculpt designed to integrate directly with your Stern pinball machine. Jabba features animated mouth movement and integrated sculpt lighting that activate during gameplay, responding specifically to successful Sarlacc Pit ramp shots.
Note: Jabba’s mouth movement is not synchronized with in-game audio. Due to limitations in accessing Stern’s internal audio triggers, the mod is activated via the ramp shot opto sensor rather than audio cues.
How It’s Made
This mod starts with a 2023 Hallmark Jabba ornament with motion. All original electronics are completely removed and replaced with our custom control system.
Our system directly connects to the Sarlacc Pit opto, allowing Jabba’s mouth movement and light to trigger when the ball enters the pit.
