There’s no mystical pail of flippers that controls my destiny.

Star Wars: Rebels, the cartoon set before the events of Episode IV: A New Hope, is getting its own digital pinball table via Zen Studios. You can play it on multiple Zen pinball platforms, including Pinball FX2, Zen Pinball 2, and Star Wars Pinball, on the week of April 27 on consoles, mobile, and PC.

Zen Studios has already created 10 tables based on the popular franchise, including ones focused on specific movies like The Empire Strikes Back and characters like Han Solo.

“Players have been anxious to see if Zen Studios and Lucasfilm would continue creating new Star Wars pinball tables. I am happy to confirm that our teams are working together to do just that,” said Mel Kirk, vice president of publishing at Zen Studios. “Star Wars: Rebels is set during a time period never explored in the films — between Episode III and Episode IV lies a 20 year stretch of Star Wars history. We’re delighted to be able to bring our own blend of pinball magic to this new phase of the Star Wars universe.”

Star Wars: Rebels has invaded other established games, including Minecraft with a pack of character skins.
