Section I: Introduction
Since I enjoyed the original trilogy I decided to write up a quick
and somewhat easy to follow FAQ for this game. Since there are a
few parts that can be tricky, I hope that this guide can help you
to understand where certain items are, or how to get past some of
the more challenging sections.
This is my first FAQ attempt, so it won't be flashy or very long.
Just something for you to quickly look over and to hopefully find
a solution to whatever problem that you have on the game. Thank
you for reading this, and I hope you enjoy the game.

Section IV: Level A New Hope
*****Meet Uncle Owen in front of the farm*****
This is basically a tutorial level. You get used to using the blaster
and you learn about jumping and grabbing onto ledges (which happens a
lot on the game). Plus you find out about shooting the boxes with a
flashing light on them. No enemies on this level.
My best advice for jumping towards an edge is to not over jump it.
Make sure you're line up with it then press up and jump when he's
at the edge. This way your character won't be hanging there (helpful
when you have several enemies shooting at you).
*****Locate R2-D2*****
Your first enemy is the air that comes out from the ground. Watch out
for these holes. Also, be on the lookout for the sinking sand spots
in the ground as well. The main enemies here are the Tusken Raiders
(sand people).
You will find your first weapon upgrade here. Each weapon upgrade will
have a limit to how many shots you can take before the blaster will
revert back to it's normal shooting power.
If you can see a crack on the wall that seems to go up in a straight
line, you can climb this. Simply jump in front of it and press up to
grab hold.
Three sections to this level. It's all just side scrolling to the R2-D2
location. They throw in a Jawa to let you know that you're close.
Your first boss of the game is a Tusken leader I guess you would call
him. If you just shoot the Tusken Raiders from the left and right you
will be here forever. You've noticed the boss bar on the bottom, and
there's a Tusken Raider on the platform near the right hand side. Shoot
him and the boss bar will go down. Once he's dead the other Tusken
Raiders will stop coming after you.
Simply follow the Jawa's to R2-D2 and then to the end of the screen for
more cut scenes from the movies.
*****Meet Obi-Wan at the Cantina*****
With the beginning of this level, you now have the "Rush Forward" move
unlocked (Double tap right or left for a boost of speed). Which will
come in handy for some jumps later on.
R2-D2 comes in handy for opening doors. Just move towards it and if
R2-D2 can open it he will. You will need keys to open some doors, but
we'll get to that later. Also, be careful that R2-D2 doesn't take any
damage, or you will die. R2-D2 has three icons for his health so make
sure you keep an eye on them.
Another note, keep R2-D2 with you at all times. You won't be able to
enter doors or into the next part of the level without him along.
Enter the first door that you can go into as you move along the level.
Doors that you can enter have a moving triangle animation to them.
Simply press up while in front of the door to enter it.
Your first encounter with the key cards is sort of hidden. You will
see a single box on the ground and then a dead end. Plus R2-D2 can't
get past this box. Stand on it and jump up to the hidden ledge just
on the right hand side of the box. Two Storm Troopers are here, and
one of them has the key. Shoot them both and collect the key.
Now it's time for a little backtracking. Go all the way to the left
and back into the door. Now a box is next to the door, which has a
blaster upgrade in it. Proceed to the right hand side and ride the
two elevators to the locked barricade/door.
Now you're on a new section of the level and the music has changed.
In the beginning of the level you will notice that there is a platform
above the cloth door and a place to climb up on the wall. Climb the
wall and follow the platforms to the right. You will see a Storm
Trooper and a key icon. Grab it and go back to R2-D2. R2-D2 will now
activate the elevators and he can follow you further into the level.
While making your way to the right, R2-D2 will open another barricade/
door for you to pass. Just beyond the door is a box with a blaster power
up inside. Climb the wall and shoot the lever on the wall to have R2-D2
get by it. R2-D2 opens another door for you. You have reached the
Cantina.
*****Sell the Land Speeder*****
Here is where you will find your first hidden Health pack to extend the
bar on your health. After going to the left and then reaching the roof
to start you way to the right, you will see a Storm Trooper. Shoot him
and the walk to the end of the roof and stop. You should see a small
platform to the right, but it's far away. Make sure you have enough
room and double tap to the right and make the jump to the platform.
To the right is another platform and a health pack.
Jump down and if you go to the right, the door will be locked. There
is also a blue bar for health on a platform near the wall that you can
climb. Go to the left and enter the door to proceed. After you clear
the hole in the ground you should see a Storm Trooper battle activate.
Shoot them all and you will find the key. Grab it and backtrack to the
locked door.
As you proceed to the right, you will have a shoot out with some Storm
Troopers before you reach a four high stack of blocks. One of the Storm
Troopers will have the key. Grab it after you've killed them all and
jump to the small platform and then over the four blocks.
There is a box on top of a pylon that has a blaster power up. Enter
the door to proceed. If you go all the way to the right you'll notice
an elevator but it isn't moving. Climb the walls and jump to where the
Storm Trooper is just above the door that you exited from. After you've
climbed to the top go to the right and shoot the elevator switch. Ride
the elevator down and proceed to the right.
Hidden in the two boxes is a blaster power up. Jump on the small
platform and then on top of the pylon and keep going to the right. This
might require you to do a double tap to the right for speed to make the
jump. If you follow the path to the right you will find a locked
barricade. Jump on the platforms and reach the door that you can enter.
You will also have to do a double tap jump to reach this.
As you leave the door, a box with a blaster power up will be on your
left. As you continue to the left, you will have a Storm Trooper battle
and the key for the next door will be found here. Grab it and head back
to the door that you just came from.
*Note- If you do not enter the door and proceed to the right, all that
is waiting for you at the end of the short path is a red health icon and
a blaster upgrade. So, if you need health, or a better gun I'd suggest
going to the right to grab these and then head back to the left and the
door.
As you leave the door, head to your right. A box with a blaster upgrade
is waiting for you. As you work your way to the right you will come
across a part of the game where I was stuck. After redoing the level
thinking that I forgot something (and didn't) I ended up here anyways.
If you stay on the regular floor you will reach a dead end. You will
have to stand on the four crates and stand as close to the left hand side
of the crates (you will need all the room you can get for running). Then
double tap to the right and jump at the last possible minute. You should
be able to reach the platform where a Storm Trooper is waiting and also
your locked door as well. Enter the door to proceed.
After exiting the door, head to your left. On the bottom is a box with a
blaster power up. You are now heading to the right. Once you find the
elevator, ride it to the top and enter the door to your right. As you
leave the door, a blaster power up is right by the right hand side of the
door. Proceed to your left. As you head to the right, try to stay on top
on any platforms. If you find a long platform with a single Storm Trooper
on it, shoot him because he has your key. Now backtrack to the door that
you just exited a few minutes ago.
When you exit the door, head to the right and open the locked barricade.
Stand on top of the two crates and do a double tap to the right to reach
the platform where two Storm Troopers are waiting. Jump down to the
floor and keep going to the right. Once you start seeing Jawa's your
Land Speeder will be soon to follow and the end of the level is here.
*****Meet Obi-Wan and Han Solo*****
You start off at your Land Speeder, and you can only go right. The first
box that you see has a blaster power up. You have to jump up on the two
platforms and then on the roof to clear the blockade door. Stay on top of
the roof to the first blockade door because there is another one in front
of the first door. If you had jumped down, just backtrack a little to get
back on the roof to the first blockade door. From the roof, you'll have
to double tap to the right and make the jump to the second roof for the
blockade door. A blaster upgrade is waiting for you here.
You will reach a dead end, but what you'll have to do is jump on the
platform and do another double tap to the right jump to reach the higher
platform that clears the dead end. Enter the door at the end of the
level to proceed. The next section has four boxes that you can shoot.
Inside is a blaster power up. As you walk along you'll see three boxes
stacked like a pyramid. Jump to the platform to the right of this and
then double tap jump to the right to reach the roof for the blockade door
that is blocking your way. After you clear the jump you meet Han and
Chewie. Plus Boba Fett makes an appearance.
*****Find R2-D2 and reach the Control Room*****
When you start this level, you will have the "Roll" ability (Press A
button when holding down). Which comes in handy in certain parts.
Once you get past the first laser beam guard, there is a small spot
to roll under that also has a blaster power up. As you work your way
up and then down, don't forget that you can shoot through the floors to
kill the Storm Troopers that might be above you. When you see the
double laser beams (one on top of the other), the bottom laser is
blocking a blaster power up. Head up and then right to your first door.
As you leave the door walk to your right and jump up on the steel boxes.
You will notice eight boxes that you can shoot. Shoot them and reveal a
weapon power up and a health pack. Now your health bar is a little longer.
Proceed to the right now. You have a large hole to jump over, so you know
what that means. Another double tap to the right super jump. Make sure
you do this perfectly or you'll miss. Plus, if you happen to die, make
sure you go back and get your health pack, since it goes away once you die
on the level unless you clear the part of the level then it's with you the
whole time.
You will reach a door that is locked. Now you have to do some platform
jumping and start heading up. A box with a blaster power up is there.
After you get this, a Storm Trooper battle will start. Kill them all, and
head back down where a few more Storm Troopers are hiding, and one of them
has the key that you'll need. Get the key and open the door to proceed.
You will see a smaller door to enter, go ahead to the next part of the
level.
The next section has you going to the right….Again. As you proceed,
you'll see a Storm Trooper with a large gun. Shoot them both. Now you
might wonder how you're going to get up on the platform. You see the steel
looking grate that goes straight up between the platforms? You can climb
this up, just jump in front of it and press up to grab hold. As you jump
on the platforms, the Storm Trooper on the highest one has a blaster power
up.
There is a box on top of another set of platforms with a blaster power up.
Proceed to the right, and we'll be heading down for a bit. You will now
encounter gun pods attached to the walls. You will need to shoot them
once to short circuit them, but watch out because it only lasts for a few
seconds. Then the gun will start shooting again. After you reach the
bottom, we'll be going to the left now. After a huge Storm Trooper battle
between two laser barriers, your door awaits and we will start a new
section for the level.
We start off with a laser barricade blocking a large hole. Best way to
clear it is to time your double tap to the right jump right when the laser
goes down. Next you'll have a gun pod and a box with a blaster power up.
Roll under the small wall to proceed. Your second Storm Trooper battle
will show another blaster power up. Shoot the switch on the wall to clear
the barricade and enter the door.
Next section of the level has you going to your right. Be careful with
the double laser beams and the gun pod. Short out the pod and wait for
a clear opening to clear the second laser and then roll under the wall.
Watch out for the second gun pod after you clear the wall. After you
kill a bunch of Storm Troopers you'll come to a part with three gun pods
and a wall switch. The first wall switch clears the laser beams. You
can now see another wall switch that is too far away from you. Shoot it
from where you are standing and activate the bridge. Take out the gun
pods and proceed. Enter the door for the next part of the level.
The next section starts out with a blaster power up next to the door.
Watch out for the gun pod and start jumping up on the platforms. You
will find a laser beam blocking your path. You will need to go to the
left and take out the gun pod as well as some Storm Troopers. At the
far end of the left side you'll see a switch. Shoot it and then start
heading back to the laser beam. It's gone now. You can do another
double tap jump to the right to reach the platform.
After making the jump, watch out for several gun pods. After clearing
the pods and reaching the bottom floor you will find a box that has a
blaster power up. Now you'll have to time your roll to clear the mini
hole to the rest of the path. You will see a hole in front of you, and
also a switch above you. Shoot the switch above you to activate a bridge
over the hole. After killing a lot of Storm Troopers, jump up on the
long platform and go to the left. You will see a small platform with a
box on it. Shoot the box for a red bar of health. Proceed back to the
right and roll under the small gap, watch out for the laser. Enter
the door.
Will this level ever end?? Anyways, right at the start you have a gun
pod, and a Storm Trooper with a large gun to take out. After killing a
lot of Storm Troopers, clear the door and keep on going. After playing
jump here and there to end the Storm Trooper battle, go the far right and
down to shoot a box that has a red bar of health. Once that's done head
back up and to the right. Roll through the small gap and take out the gun
pod. Once you've hit the bottom, shoot out the four boxes to reveal
another red bar of health. You'll have to jump up on the platforms and
avoid/shoot out the gun pods and then shoot out the switch. A bridge will
now appear leading you to a platform that is blocked. After you avoid the
laser beam you'll have the key for the door.
Enter the door, and once you exit it you'll be with R2-D2. Just remember
that he only has three icons of health, and if he dies….You die.
Proceed to the right. Take the elevator up and shoot out the box past
the door for a blaster upgrade. Now enter the door. There is another
blaster upgrade at the exit of the door. After you take out the Storm
Troopers, you'll have the key for the door. Also, at the far end of the
screen is a power up spot for R2-D2. Let him charge up (heal) if he needs
if before backtracking to the locked door.
After riding the elevator down, let R2-D2 activate the bridge and then
unlock the door to proceed. After the Storm Trooper battle, there is
another power up station for R2-D2 just under the platform where the Storm
Trooper was standing. Roll under the small wall and watch out for the gun
pods. Shoot the wall switch and head back to R2-D2. Now the elevator is
working. Once you reach the second elevator, it will not work. Fall down
and shoot the second switch on the wall. The elevator will work now and
R2-D2 will join you shortly. Go through the door and shoot the box for a
blaster power up. Let R2-D2 open the locked door and enter the smaller
door.
We are finally done!!! All you need to do is shoot about ten Storm
Troopers and pass the final door to our destination. Man this level
was long!!
*****Escort Leia to the Millennium Falcon*****
We now have to watch out for any damage done to Leia, but at least she
can help out with killing some Storm Troopers. Also, when you heal
yourself it also works for Leia. Proceed to the right. A blaster
power up is right before your first blockade door. Go through it to
continue. You will shoot several Storm Troopers, after that you will
find another door to pass. Enter the smaller door to reach the next
section of the level.
As you are about to start the new section, a small cut scene will show
you a hidden switch that is far up in the wall. Remember where it's at
so when you go through the door, you can shoot it quickly. After you
clear the door, a bunch of Storm Troopers arrive, but you're okay if you
don't try to open the door. Shoot the wall switch to activate the bridge.
Proceed with the level. You will have a few areas to take out the gun
pods, while shooting at Storm Troopers. After that, take out the gun pod
near the small door and enter it.
New section to explore. As always, we are going to the right. After
taking out a lot of Storm Troopers, you will find a blaster power up after
the battle. Another long battle with Storm Troopers is next, but it's the
final one. After you take them out, enter the final door and the level
is clear.
*****Destroy the Tie Fighters*****
Our first vehicle controlled battle. Your mission is to take out thirty
Tie Fighters. If you press up, the X-Wing will fly fast, and if you press
down it will fly slow. Also, if you are in need of health here's some
advice. Just fly away from the Tie Fighters and you will slowly gain back
your health for the vehicle.
*****Destroy the main reactor*****
You will have to avoid gun turrets as will as parts of the trench that
stick out. Also, a Tie Fighter will also appear from your backside. You
can either use up a R2-D2 health and ram it to make the vehicle explode or
you can fly to the right and make the Tie Fighter get close to you. Then
you can fly behind it and destroy the vehicle.
Tips: Try to make the Tie Fighter destroy itself by slamming into the
side of the trench. Also shoot out the gun pods so you don't take damage.
Try to avoid the wall at all costs. There is one spot that's barely large
enough for your X-Wing to fit through, so you'll lose some health here.
Luckily this level has a few spots that you can start from instead of
going back to the beginning each time.
You will reach a different part of the trench run where you have to
destroy five Tie Fighters. After you destroy them, it's back to your run
and to destroy the Death Star. After you destroy the five Tie Fighters,
stay in the center of the screen, or you'll hit the sides and get killed.
Once you see a countdown timer on the screen 1800 then you're almost there.
Just avoid being shot at until the timer hits zero.
That's it. A New Hope is now over. Now to the next story….
Section V: Level The Empire Strikes Back
*****Escape from the cavern*****
Once you start this level, you'll have 'Deflection' (Press the L button
when Lightsaber is equipped) which will make the enemies blaster shots
go back at them with your Lightsaber. You will also have two weapons to
choose from. Your blaster, or your Lightsaber.
As you are walking along, watch out for falling stalactites. When you
see a large snowball, be on your guard, because your first Wompa is about
to make its entrance. The easiest way to kill these guys is to do an
upward slash with your Lightsaber. After killing him, do a double tap
jump to the right to clear the hole and to fight your second Wompa.
Next you'll have a tricky jump to make. You will have to jump to grab
the platform, and then to avoid the falling stalactite. Then you will
see another snowball, but this time two Wompa's will attack. When you
see the third snowball be careful since the Wompa will push it towards
you for damage. Kill him and proceed. Watch out for the six stalactites
that will fall down around you. If one gets in your way, just use the
Lightsaber to cut it down to size.
You will fight about six Wompa's before you will start the second part
of the level. As you move along, and fight Wompa's you'll see a falling
snowball. Just fall down to the next section and proceed to the left.
Kill more Wompa's and then you'll notice a large spot to jump over. You
will have to make a double tap jump to the left this time to clear the
hole. Avoid the two falling stalactites. You will notice a hole covered
with cracked ice. Stand on it and fall down to a platform. Jump to your
left for a health pack. Your health bar is now a bit longer.
Jump on the platform and do a double tap to the right to clear the hole
and proceed to the right. Jump to the platform and then go to the lower
floor to kill the Wompa. Then do a double tap jump to the right to clear
the large ice covered hole. After you clear the hole you will have to
fight about ten Wompa's. Have fun. After that a new section is going
to start.
Double tap to the right to clear the ice covered hole and then watch out
the Wompa that's standing right near the edge of the hole. Kill him and
continue. You will fight another pack of Wompa's then you will see a
snowball on a platform that will be pushed off by a Wompa and another
battle will start. After that's done you will have a large hole to jump
across and you will have to aim perfectly to grab hold of the ledge of
the platform. On top of the platform is a Wompa so be ready for him.
You will have another large hole to double tap to the right to jump over,
then some more Wompa's to kill. Once that is done, the level is complete.
*****Locate your X-Wing*****
As you walk along, killing Snow Troopers, the best part to use your
deflect option is when you're on one side on a hole while another Snow
Trooper is shooting at you. This way you don't have to jump back and
forth. Next you will see your first Imperial Droid. I hate these things.
You will also have another large hole to jump across.
The next part is annoying. You are stuck between two holes and Imperial
Droids are on either side of you. You can either jump to the sides
carefully to kill them or use your deflect to knock the shots back into
the Droids. I did a combination of the two to take them out. Just don't
fall into the holes, lol. We start our next part now.
More Snow Troopers and Droids to kill. Fun. Another large hole to jump.
So far this is pretty easy stuff to do, nothing too hard. This is a short
level and soon you will find the hanger.
*****Escape the battlefield*****
This level will constantly go to the right, so you have to make sure that
you are paying attention to where you are going and what is going on the
screen. The main focus here will be the AT-AT legs. Don't get stuck under
them or you will die. Plus you'll have to time your jumps perfectly to
avoid the holes. Also, avoid the laser blasts from the sky as well.
Above the second leg of your first AT-AT is a health pack. Grab it so
your health bar can add some extra length to it. You will have a break
from the AT-AT's with a small battle of Snow Troopers. After you pass
the final AT-AT, you will see several shots come from the sky and then
your door awaits you. Now your next part will be inside.
If you go to your right when you exit the door, a blaster power up is
waiting for you. Kill the Snow Troopers, and then jump on the two
platforms to clear a large hole on the bottom of the floor. More
platforms and more Snow Troopers are ahead. Then watch out for six
stalactites that will fall from the roof right when you reach your door
to the next section.
This section is short. You fight some Snow Troopers and they even throw
in a Wompa just for fun. Your X-Wing is waiting for you and the level
ends with Darth Vader making an appearance.
*****Find Yoda*****
When you start this level, your 'Jedi Jump' ability will be unlocked
(Press A button when in the air). You can now double jump in the air.
Press the jump button once you are in the air to jump again. This level
is super easy. Just jump over the obstacles and reach Yoda. Not much
to discuss here.
*****Learn to use the Force*****
Once this level starts you will have unlocked the 'Force Push' ability
(Press R and the B button). You will need to use it to move rocks that
will be in your way. This is also the first time that you'll see your
force bar, and the force icons that give you back some of your used up
force.
Note- If you fall into the water, the level will start all over. Try
and stay on top of the solid ground so you won't have to redo the level
over and over.
Walk along and when you see your first rock, simply move it with the
power of the Force. When you see a stone type looking platform use the
Force to make it swing back and forth. Your jump will be easier to make
if this platform is moving. After making some more easy jumps you will
come across a tree that you can't jump over. Just slash at it with your
Lightsaber and then use the Force to move it aside. After taking out
the tree, you see Yoda. Then the next part of the training begins.
You will have a large jump to clear, so make sure you double tap to the
right for a speedy jump and then you double jump in the air to reach the
tree stump. Use the Force to activate the two stone platforms and then
to move the rock in your way to continue on. Do another double tap jump
to the right and then a double jump in the air to clear the swamp area
to find Yoda once again.
Now, you will meet someone to fight against. Darth Vader!! But this
fight is super easy, just like in the movie. This level is now over.
*****Locate Han, Leia, and the others*****
Once you start this level, you will have the Force ability 'Force Blitz'
unlocked (Press L button and R button). Now you can move twice as fast
as your enemies, as long as your Force power doesn't wear out. Also,
R2-D2 is with you on the beginning of this level, so make sure he doesn't
get damaged like the previous levels that you did with him.
As you start out, you see a sweet cut scene with Leia, Boba Fett, and
Han in Carbonite. Then the level starts out as usual. You killing some
Storm Troopers. You will see a level on the wall across a hole on the
floor. Use your blaster to shoot the switch to activate the bridge to
cross the hole with. Then you will find another hole and switch. Shoot
the switch and the bridge will appear. Next, R2-D2 will activate the
elevator to reach the higher platform.
Once on the platform, kill the Storm Trooper and enter the door leading
to the next section. R2-D2 will activate another elevator for you to
ride. On top of the platform some Storm Troopers wait for you, and one
flying Droid as well. There is a recharge station here for R2-D2 if he's
damaged. Ride the elevator down, and kill some Storm Troopers and another
flying Droid. R2-D2 will open the barricade for you and then you can
enter the door.
Your next section is without R2-D2. You can go to your left to find a
blaster power up hidden in the four boxes along with a flying Droid.
Proceed to your right and take out the Storm Trooper with the cannon
and his friends. Follow the path to the right, and then jump up on
the platform and double jump to the larger platform and continue.
Next, after you jump to the next smaller platform a battle with Storm
Troopers will start. Fall down to the bottom floor to kill the Storm
Troopers there to find a key. Head back up to the higher platforms to
use the key to activate a bridge across a large gap. Follow the screen
to the right and then do some platform jumping to kill Storm Troopers.
Once that's all done head to the barricade and it will open for you.
Kill the Storm Troopers and the flying Droids and enter the door for
the next section.
To the left of the door that you've exited is a box containing a blaster
power up. Grab it and start heading to the right. Simple stuff here,
just walk the path and kill everything around you until you reach the
door. Short section, not much action.
On the new part of the level, go to your right and fall down. You will
have Storm Troopers and flying Droids to deal with as your make your
way to the left. Climb up the platforms and continue to the left. Keep
heading left, and you'll have to go up and then to your right to reach
the door to enter the next section.
Here you are going to the left again, and you will have to jump up on the
platforms and find the one spot of the laser beam that fades in and out
to pass through. As you are going along to the left, you will see a
switch on the wall that activates a bridge across the gap. Two flying
Droids are here to annoy you, so watch out. After the bridge there is
four boxes that has a Force icon if you need it.
After that section there is a spot where several Storm Troopers are
standing on platforms. To the right of them is a red bar for your health.
Be careful because there is a hole on the bottom of the floor to the left
of the icon. Once on the bottom of the floor, jump the hole and climb up
the metal grating to reach the door that you can enter.
Once you've exited the door, head to the right and then climb up the metal
grating to the higher level and head to the left. Pass by the laser beams
to get the key from the Storm Trooper and to hit the switch to open the
barricade to reach the door easier.
Head to your left and use the key to activate the bridge across the gap.
Keep killing and make our way to the left and to a door that you can
enter for the next section. In the new section, you will be going to your
right. Kill the Storm Troopers and flying Droids and then climb the metal
grating and keep going right. Once you reach the end, fall down to the
bottom level. Keep swinging away at stuff (boy this level is long), then
you'll have some laser beams to avoid. Then keep going along to the right.
Pretty self-explanatory as you find your door to start yet another section
of killing joy.
We are going to the left this time, fun huh? Just follow the path along,
then you'll see a switch to freedom!! A bridge will appear. It's the
last part of the level!!! I'm happy, are you? Enter the door for a cool
cut scene.
*****Fight Darth Vader*****
After the cool cut scene happens, it's time to fight Vader. If you fall
into the Carbonite chamber, just mash your buttons to break free. No real
advice here except to try and attack Vader from the backside or wait until
he does his charge attack or tries to push you with the Force.
Once you get Vader down to a certain amount of health a cut scene happens
and then you are back to fighting Storm Troopers. It sucks, but don't
worry. You'll see Vader again. After you trigger a huge fight with
Storm Troopers and flying Droids, make sure you stand on top of one of
the large boxes near the beginning of the level and jump up and to the
left. A hidden health pack is here. Your life bar is now a little longer
now, which means if you've collected all of them so far you would have a
lot of health. Keep going to the right after you grabbed the health item.
Another cut scene happens and guess who?? It's Vader. This time you have
to avoid flying objects and Vader at the same time. Do enough damage to
Vader and another cut scene will take place.
After you land from being pushed out the window, Vader shows up for a
third time. His health is almost gone, so just wail on him until he's
gone. Or is he?? Watch the cut scene for the answer.
This is the final part of The Empire Strikes Back levels. One last
part to do until the trilogy is over.
Section VI: Level Return of the Jedi
*****Find Han Solo*****
In the beginning of the level, you will have unlocked the 'Force Heal'
ability (Press R button and down). Which will come in handy since
there isn't that much health on the ROTJ levels.
Really simple in the beginning. Just walk along, jump over holes and
kill the Pig guards. I know that they are called Gamorrean Guards but
I'll just call them Pig guards in the walkthrough. Watch out for their
axes that they love to throw at you. Also, watch out for falling debris
from the ceiling in sections that show cracks on the ceiling. Walk to
the end of the screen for the next section of the level.
As you are going along the new area, you'll see a long platform that has
several Pig guards on it and a weak section of the ceiling. After you
clear it, drop down to the lower level and head to the left. You will
see a health pack on a small rock section. Jump over to grab this.
Now your health bar is even longer, which is always a good thing. Now
start heading to the right. You will walk along a long section of
platform and have a long Pig guard battle. After it's done you can go
to the bottom level and head to the left for a box that has a red bar of
health inside it.
You will see a hole to jump over, but watch out for the blue smoke
coming out of the wall. If it hits you, you will fall straight down
to your death. After clearing the hole, a new section begins. You will
have a fight with Pig guards and some blue smoke to avoid. As you walk
along you will find a box with a blue bar of health inside on the bottom
floor. You might want to switch to your blaster and point down towards
the ground to see some of the platforms since they are hard to see. The
end of this section is close, but we still have another part to do.
Avoid the blue smoke and keep on truckin' to the right. As we move along
there is a cool cut scene with Boba Fett, but he flies away. Then you get
to kill a ton of Pig guards. Once that's done if you are on the bottom
floor, you can head to your left and find a box with a red bar of health
just past the blue smokers in the wall. Grab this if you need it, then
head back to the right and the door. The level is clear.
*****Find a way to destroy the Rancor*****
This was tricky for me to figure out. But here's what you will need to
do. First, in order to get by the Rancor you will need to wait until
his leg is up and then you can roll underneath his foot to get clear of
him. Now, you'll need to lure him to the left side of the screen. Then
wait for his foot to raise up, and roll to the right. Then use the Force
to throw the rocks into him, pushing him into the section of the wall.
A rock will then hit the door release and the door will fall on the
Rancor, killing him.
Just like in the movie, almost. Probably the second best boss in the
game, behind the final Darth Vader battle.
*****Destroy the main barge*****
This is another level where the screen is constantly moving to the right,
so be on your toes and try to plan your moves in advance. Don't get stuck
behind something or you will get squished to death. Once a battle starts
up, the screen does stop for you to fight but once the final enemy is dead,
the screen begins to move again.
Try and make sure you stay on the barges, because if you fall through the
spaces between them you will die. Once the screen stops and there isn't a
ny battle, that means that the first section is done.
The second section has Boba Fett on it, and he's flying around trying to
kill you. Make sure you attack him often and get him out of way quickly
as he can be very annoying. Once again, when the screen stops and it's
free on enemies you have just cleared another section. Good job. Let's
keep going.
Okay, this is tricky to explain but I'll do my best. When you start the
next section, right after your first Pig guard battle, make sure you are
on the far right of the screen once it starts to move again. Then as soon
as you fall, rush to the left side of the screen for a health pack. Once
you've grabbed this you can continue to the right, and your health bar
has gained another section of health. Keep heading to the right, and soon
you will be at the end of the section and the end of the level. Enjoy the
cut scene.
*****Stop the Scout Troopers*****
This is a vehicle mission, you are riding a Speeder Bike. You can take
out your enemy two ways. By either getting them in front of you and
shooting them, or you can get beside them and slam then into the side of
the forest. When you see a yellow arrow on the right side of the screen
it means that a weak object is going to be there. A red arrow means that
a solid object is going to be there, and if you hit one of the solid
objects you can lose some major health or even die. Just keep an eye on
the arrows and you should be able to get through the level. Enjoy the cut
scene at the end.
*****Locate Han, Leia, and the others*****
You will have your final Force power 'Jedi Slash' (Hold B button and
release) unlocked at the beginning of this level. Now we get to have
fun with Biker Scouts, bridges, and pigs and bee swarms and huge wasps!
Get ready.
Double tap to the right to clear the hole, and then you'll fight the
pigs. They are not too bad, but they take away your Force power, so kill
them quickly. Walk along, killing Pigs and jumping holes. Then you will
come up to a tree. Slash it with your Lightsaber and then use the Force
to move it aside. You will now see a short cut scene showing you where
the Biker Scout is standing guard.
Jump onto the moving platform and then up to the bridge. Move along to
the right, and then you will start to move down a bit. As you move a
little to your left you'll see a health pack floating in the air. Be
careful because if you don't jump far enough to the left to grab hold of
the tree, you will fall into the hole. Grab the health pack and enjoy
the extra extension to your health bar. Climb the tree to the top and
start heading to the right.
Follow the Ewoks to the end of this section and to the beginning of the
new area. After you cut down the tree and move it with the Force, you'll
encounter the large Wasps for the first time. They can be annoying since
they love to fly away very quickly once you get near them.
Once you walk to the end of the bridge a short cut scene will show you a
Wasp and then the stone platform. After you kill the Wasp, use the Force
to move the platform back and forth, making the large jump to the right
much easier. After clearing out the Biker Scouts and the Wasps, walk to
the right to clear the level and to start up another section.
The new section begins with you killing about ten Wasps. You starting
to hate the Wasps yet? Once they are dealt with, proceed to the right.
When you walk to the edge of the bridge another short cut scene will
show a platform and a Wasp. Kill the Wasp, and then use the Force to
move the platform back and forth. Once you've made the jump from the
platform to the small bridge, climb up the tree and head to the left.
After killing another group of Wasps you should see what looks like a
rope hanging from the sky. Jump to it and climb it upwards. Kill some
Biker Scouts and more Wasps, then reach the end of this section. Now we
go to another section, with the Ewoks leading the way. This time when
the cut scene shows us the stone platform, it's a bee swarm that will
attack us. This is our first encounter with the Bee Swarms, and they
are tricky. Make sure you attack them twice. If you attack them once,
the small section of them will leave and then come back. If you attack
twice, they won't return. Jump on the platform after you use the Force
to place it in motion.
After making the jump from the platform, kill the Bee Swarms and the
Wasps. Climb the tree and proceed to the right. After killing a bunch
of Biker Scouts and some Wasps, jump to the tree and climb it down.
Head to the right, and kill some Bee Swarms, and a lot more Biker Scouts.
Use the Force to activate the stone platform, then jump onto the hanging
rope and climb it up. Then jump off and head to the right. The area
ends, and we start yet another section. SIGH.
The Ewoks are still leading us around. Hopefully not too much longer.
Kill some more Bee Swarms and more Biker Scouts. Use the Force to
activate the stone platform, jump on it and onto the bridge where the
Ewoks are waiting for you. Keep going to the right and kill a lot more
Biker Scouts and Wasps. Then when it's all over, you can reach the
end of the level. Thank goodness. This was another long boring level.
*****Meet Darth Vader*****
When the level starts out, the Ewoks are leading the way. Watch out for
a hiding Pig that will attack you. Then you will see a Biker Scout on
top of a bridge. Use the Force to activate the stone platform and jump
up to the bridge. Once you've cleared the bridge of the several Biker
Scouts and Wasps, then jump to the tree and climb it down to the
bottom of the level and head to the right.
Slice the tree in front of you and use the Force to move it aside.
You will see a large hole to the right. Where do we go?? Stand on
top of the tree stump and double jump up and to the right. Grab on
to the ledge of the bridge and proceed to the right. Kill the Biker
Scouts and then jump to the rope and climb in down. Once on the
bottom level, head to the right and a huge battle around a tree stump
will take place. Once every Biker Scout and Wasp is killed head to
the right for the end of this section.
Ewoks are still leading the way for us! Head to the right, and kill
the Biker Scouts and Storm Troopers. I just noticed that the Storm
Troopers are back with us. This level is short, and ends very fast.
Once the new section begins, we see a cut scene of a huge hole,
followed by a rock and some Storm Troopers.
Climb up the bridge that is close to you and work your way upward.
Kill the Biker Scouts that you see around the area. Next you get to
fight about thirty Biker Scouts. Fun huh? After killing all these
soldiers, I'm surprised that there is any Storm Troopers left at
the end of the game. Anyways, keep on going to the right.
After going down a few sections you will find your rock from the cut
scene earlier. Use the Force to push it aside and to take out a few
Storm Troopers. Double jump over the large hole and then get ready to
fight a lot of Pigs and Wasps. Once that if all done, walk to the end
of the screen and to the end of the level. Enjoy the cut scene.
*****Fight Darth Vader*****
Pretty much the same plan as before. You will attack Vader and a cut
scene will happen. Then you'll have to lower his health some more and
then another cut scene. Then when you get him to zero health, the final
cut scene for the game.
And that's the end. Hope you enjoyed this game. I think it could have
been better, but not too bad for a Game Boy Advanced game.
Section VII: Level select and bonus level
The levels that you can select are:
X-Wing battle before entering trench on Death Star (ANH)
Trench battle on Death Star (ANH)
Luke VS Vader on Bespin (TESB)
Luke VS Rancor (ROTJ)
Speeder Bike chase (ROTJ)
Luke VS Vader on Death Star II (ROTJ)
Bonus level:
This level has no end to it (at least I couldn't find one). You get one
point for each kill (my highest was 297) and the level seems to be in
three parts. I reach the second part of the level on my second pass
through it. The creatures on the second time through would give you
more damage when they attacked/shot at you. I guess this level is for
you to get as much points as possible, and therefore has no end to it.
Section VIII: Bonus Pictures

Section IX: Final Thoughts
THE GOOD:
- Music in the background while playing.
- Very true to the movies in every detail. The text windows are telling
the story almost line for line from the movies.
- Graphics were okay, nothing really great to look at. The pictures for
the text windows from the movies were pretty good though.
- Bonus pictures for completing levels were an okay bonus. Especially
number 3. lol
- The Force was pretty cool to use in the game. Having the ability to
heal, move objects, and do a "Kill everything on the screen" move was
sweet.
THE BAD:
- Not challenging at all. Except for a few parts where you had to figure
out how to do the objective (Force needed or a special jump) the game
is a breeze.
- Levels that repeat the same thing over and over. Most levels are like
this. Walk....Kill....Activate a special "Kill Everything" part of level
...Walk some more....Kill some more....Another "Kill Everything" section.
It gets boring really fast.
- No level select. I'd like to play just the ROTJ parts since Luke has
all of the Force powers to play with. Sure you can choose a few levels
after you finish the game, but every level should have been available
to pick from.
- It would of been cool to unlock other characters to use after finishing
the game once. Like maybe a few Han levels, or maybe a Boba Fett or
Darth Vader level.
AND THE UGLY:
- Very short. I mean like you can finish the game in 2-3 hours short.
Maybe if the game was free, then it would be worth it.
- Jumping near the ledge of an object while fighting. This happened to
me a lot! It gets very annoying while your fighting to have to stop and
hang on a ledge while laser blasts cook your back.
- Imperial droids on TESB levels. They took a lot of shots to kill, or
would move so fast that your lightsaber couldn't touch them. Also the
Wasps on the ROTJ levels were a pain.
