One of the first arcade games I "beat" when I was a kid. The local bowling lanes had a cockpit style cabinet I would play on when the parents did their league days.

Once you blow up the Deathstar, you repeat the game, but the missiles and ships are faster and more numerous. Also, timing the final shot gets harder as well. Those sparkle missiles got super fast after awhile. I only once got to level '4'.

They don't mention in the article, but this was probably the first game to use sampled dialog from a motion picture... as far as I can tell. It was extremely clear and crisp for the day as well. I was amazing to hear Obi-wan say 'Use the force Luke!' when firing the final shot.
