Although the room is filling with a deadly gas there isn't actually any time limit on your stay in here.

There are a lot things throughout the game that are not essential to perform to get through the story or to find a Minikit but you'll often get some extra studs for doing them, something that can end up being essential for filling the True Jedi meter. In this room you can use the Force on the chairs to make them dance and then again on each individual chair to get them to spew out a few hundred studs each. As a rule of thumb pretty much everything made of LEGO in this game can either be interacted with or destroyed for studs so I won't be mentioning every single thing you can smash or manipulate for studs.

Another important source of studs are hidden studs, for example in the corner of this room to the right of the exit is a single blue stud that's worth 1,000, you can often find valuable studs like these hidden away in the corners of rooms where you might not think to go just off screen.

Once you're done exploring the room use the Force on the door to blow it open (walk towards the door with either Obi-Wan or Qui Gon and a green or blue glow will appear at the door to indicate you can use the Force on it, hold the Force button for a few seconds until it explodes). A group of droids will run towards you from the sides of the corridor with their blasters armed. Use your Lightsaber or the Force to take them out quite quickly, if you time your swings of the Lightsaber well you can even deflect their own blasts back at them. If you do get damaged you can heal by picking up the hearts that are frequently dropped by them.

The left corner that some of the Battle Droids came from has a locked door blocking your way, there's a panel on its side with a little picture of a grey C-3PO on it, this means that you will need a protocol droid to open it. If you're in Free Play you can switch to a protocol droid and access the room right now but if you're in Story Mode you'll have to wait just a bit to get in there.

The opposite side is open and has some studs you can collect but there's nothing else of significance in there. Continue on along the corridor taking out the droids that run towards you.

At the end of the corridor is a corner, you'll be attacked by the other two Battle Droids you saw run off a moment ago. Once you've taken them out go back to the left where there's another protocol droid panel.

Now take the path to the right, ahead you'll see a couple more Battle Droids inspecting some barrels.

Just before you get to the grey protocol droid at the end of the corridor there's a path to the left with a locked door, this one has a panel with an Astromech droid's picture on it which you do not have at this point in the Story Mode.

At the end of the corridor is a grey protocol droid named TC-14. Take control of him by approaching him and pressing (Triangle). He's quite slow to move and can't jump or attack so he's very much only intended to be used for opening the protocol droid doors. There is one to the right of where you find him but if you're in Story Mode you may want to double back to open a couple of doors that you've passed by already.

Have TC-14 use the Protocol Droid panel on the doorway to the right of where you met him, there's then almost immediately a second Protocol Droid door to open up and go through. Switch back to Obi-Wan Kenobi or Qui Gon Jinn to use their Force powers on the grate on the left that a couple of droids will run out of.

Now go through the opened grate out into a large new area.

Drop down to the floor and you'll be immediately attacked by some more Battle Droids, there's one up on a ledge on the left side shooting at you - a perfect opportunity to practice deflecting lasers back at the shooter!

Go down the slope to the right to reach another set of Battle Droids, this time including a pair of shielded Droidekas that you'll be introduced to when they roll in through a forcefield door. There are several ways to defeat Droidekas but the main thing you have to do is deplete their shield first. You can do this by hitting them with your lightsaber eight times, by performing a double jump slam attack that slams your Lightsaber down into the ground next to them, or you can deflect their blasts back at them a couple of times. Once their shield is down you can hit them three times with your Lightsaber or deflect a few more of their blasts back at them.

Of note there is an electromagnet in the back left corner of this area that you can turn on which will pull all of the nearby Battle Droids into it leaving them helpless to your attacks.

To get over the forcefield door the Droidekas came through you must use the Force on the panels to either side of it, they will transform into a platform that you can use to double jump over the wall.

A large group of Battle Droids will appear from behind the transport ship and start attacking, take them out before you stand on the two buttons behind the forcefield door to shut it down so that the protocol droid can get through.

Use the protocol droid to open that transport ship so you can go inside it to finish the chapter - make sure you've collected enough studs to earn True Jedi before going in.

Completing the chapter will not only unlock the protocol droid TC-14 for use in Free Play but it will also unlock Episode II and Episode III to play so you don't actually have to finish the whole of Episode I to play those if you don't want to.

You'll also receive the first of 17 pieces of the Superkit if you managed to collect the required number of studs to earn True Jedi and you'll begin to see the first Minikit assembled if you collected any canisters - you won't be able to get all 10 parts until you've unlocked a few more characters to use in Free Play mode so you might as well just carry on with Story Mode.

If you do head back to Dexter's Diner you can go buy some Battle Droids to use in Free Play, they're useful to own as enemies will not shoot you while you use them even if you are attacking them.

Chapter 2

INVASION OF NABOO

True Jedi

Story Mode	Free Play
36,400	40,590

In the beginning of this level you can for the most part just ignore the Gungans and Droids running across the path, some will stop and attack you but there is no need to interfere with the others.

Along the sides of the path are flowers that you can use the Force on for a couple of seconds to explode out some studs and sometimes a heart, the level is quite scarce on studs so you will definitely want to do this to make sure you get the Superkit piece.

Back on the path keep going straight ahead from the starting point until where you find the path blocked by a fallen tree, as you approach it a small squad of battle droids will pop out of the bushes to attack you. Once you've got rid of them use the Force to pick up the tree and move it out of the way.

Further on past the tree is a transport ship blocking the path, as you approach it another group of battle droids will attack. Use the Force repeatedly on the ship to blow it up.

As you walk forwards towards the steps you'll meet Jar Jar Binks. He doesn't have any actual attacks so he's only useful for his super high jump.

At the top of the steps you'll transition to the next area.

Careful here as you can easily fall off the edge and lose some studs, and, unlike getting defeated by Battle Droids where you can try to gather them back up, here they'll fall into the abyss and be lost immediately.

Use the Force on the rocky wall to build yourself a bridge across the waterfall, take out the lone battle droid and then switch to Jar Jar to use his high jump to get up on top of the rock platform blocking the way. This will cause it to lower for the other characters to get past. There are two forms of his High Jump, one where you simply jump again while in the air and the other is where you press jump again right as you land from a single jump but both forms seem to give about the same height of jump.

Switch back to Obi-Wan or Qui Gon and use the Force on the red clip next to the gears on the wall behind where the platform was, that'll lower a platform which you can use to get across onto another platform which will fall down upon stepping on it. Switch to Jar Jar if you haven't already and jump up the next platform which will of course collapse down again. Repeat and you'll meet some Battle Droids with one hiding in a cave behind the platform itself.

After taking out the droids on the right use the Force on some LEGO arches above where they were, these will form a platform.

Take out a couple more droids before exiting the current area through an archway.

You've still got to be careful here as the edge is still just as dangerous. Use the Force on some bricks in the wall to form a low down platform and cause a log to fall into place.

Onwards up the ramp to a group of five or six more Battle Droids as you reach a swampy section.

Walk through the watery area killing a few more Battle Droids as you go, there's a large transport ship you can use the Force to blow up to go behind but there's not much back there of interest other than some studs. Keep going to the right until you drop down into a second section of water with a trio of Battle Droids guarding a blocked off cave.

Next to that cave switch to Jar Jar and jump up the ledges and walk along to the right where there's a platform that'll fall down and open up a cave to go into.

You're very close to the end of the level, all you really have to do is walk forwards through swamp a little, there's a final few studs before you jump into the water but you have to stop at the edge of the water to get the game to actually give them to you before the level ends. If you're really close to the True Jedi target make sure to Force shake all the flowers in the area before walking into the water.

You'll unlock Jar Jar Binks for Free Play mode but we've still not got any small characters or astromech droids so carry straight on into the next level. We also didn't encounter any new enemies so there's nobody new to buy from Dexter.

Chapter 3

ESCAPE FROM NABOO

True Jedi

Story Mode	Free Play
32,000	61,690

The level starts with you controlling Queen Amidala and Captain Panaka, both are blaster characters that can attack from range. Shoot the Battle Droids and then go over to the back wall where there's a red glowing circle, most blaster characters can grapple up at points like this.

Once you've grappled up go to the right, a couple more Battle Droids will appear from around the corner as you get there. There's another grapple point here to use to go further up to a ledge with a couple more droids and some smashable windows with a mosaic of Queen Amidala inside the righthand room for some reason.

Just outside the mosaic room is another grapple point, this one will take you up to another trio of Battle Droids standing around in front of some more smashable windows with oddly empty insides. The next grapple point is hidden beneath the round object in the corner on the right, you can see the red target on the floor beneath it, you'll have to smash the object to get up to the next area.

There's a whole load of Battle Droids here, just keep on firing at them until they're all dead.

If you're in Free Play and have a Dark Side Force user available then make sure to use them to use the Force on the black plants next to the exit archway, you'll get at least 4,000 extra studs over just smashing them.

Once you're all done in this area go through the archway.

Go down the steps past some more droids and down into a room where you'll seem to stuck. Shoot through the large windows and jump outside to defeat the droids standing guard out there.

Grapple back up to the windows and then walk across the little bridgeway to the right, at the end of it there's a locked door with a small target next to it. Shoot the target to open the door. Shoot the dome with the blue stud inside and then jump down the hole it creates.

Here's where we meet up with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui Gon Jinn, you can now take control of them if you like (while you can shoot the targets on the base of the building you jumped down and can then ride an elevator back up, the game won't actually let you take the Jedi back through the level, it'll just leave them behind if you try). Defeat the large amount of Battle Droids down here and then head off to the right.

Jump off the balcony back down to the ground level to defeat the army of droids patrolling down here. Carry on further to the right until you reach one more pair of Commander Battle Droids standing guard. Shoot them and the round objects behind them, you'll then want to ride the moving elevators to shoot the four targets on the wall. That will open up the gate to get to the final area of the level.

Cross the walkway to a rooftop with several large green domes, shoot all the Battle Droids patrolling the area. The goal here is to press the buttons on top of the three large dome in order to open up the casings on the smaller domes at each end.

The first button opens up the first dome on the near end and the middle dome on the far end. The middle button opens up the two end domes. And the far button opens up the middle dome on the near end and the first dome on the far end.

To finish the level all you need to press is the middle button to open the far end's last dome. Smash through it to fall through the hole.

Completing the level unlocks Queen Amidala and Captain Panaka for use in Free Play mode and adds a couple more to Dexter's selection.

Chapter 4

MOS ESPA PODRACE

True Jedi

Story Mode
25,000

This chapter is entirely a podrace, the Minikits are dotted along the course for you to collect during the three laps. If you crash you reset to the previous checkpoint. There's also a 10 second countdown that appears which wants you to get to the next checkpoint before it reaches zero, if you don't you get reset to the previous one - essentially you need to be in first place at each and every checkpoint. It can be helpful when trying to get the Minikits but it sure doesn't make the level much fun.

The first section of the race gives you around 40 seconds to complete it, make sure to use all the green booster pads along the track and to keep on the accelerator as well as holding forwards.

The second section gives you just over 30 seconds to complete it. It begins with a sighting of some Tusken Raiders, they'll be shooting at you in the first part of this section and you'll want to try to avoid getting hit as your podracer doesn't have that much health. For the most part just aim for the green booster pads along the left side and avoid the darkened sand spots that marks where's being shot at.

The third area is the last new section and you only get about 20 seconds to finish it. You're really going to have to go for all the booster pads you can manage to hit in order to cross the line in time.

On your second lap there's a slight change to the course, after the first boost pad a couple of racers will bump into each other and knock down a pillar.

After the cutscene you've got about seven seconds to get past the arch or it'll collapse and not give you any way to get past.

The Tusken Raiders section will be slightly modified on Lap 2 with the addition of some rolling boulders at the start, slalom through those and then the rest is the same as before. And there's a few more mines scattered around during the third section.

For Lap 3 in the first section you have to bank to the right after the first set of booster pads as the original path is now completely blocked.

The Tusken Raider area is now littered with large rocks, after using the first boost pad hold off on the accelerator for a moment to start weaving through the rocks as safely as possible as hitting one will immediately crash you. As soon as you're clear go as fast as you can and use the same boosters as previous laps.

The very last section is pretty much the same just with some rolling bombs to avoid. Beat Sebulba across the finishing line to win and finish the level.

Despite having technically played as Anakin you don't unlock him (or anyone else) after this level.

Chapter 5

RETAKE THEED PALACE

True Jedi

Story Mode	Free Play
40,000	59,180

Use one of the Jedi to walk out into the battle ahead and take out the droids and Droidekas. If you can, use the Lightsaber deflect to get the Battle Droids shooting down at you from the ledges. Once they're all clear switch to a Blaster character and use them to grapple up the point on the right side (alternatively use a Force character to raise the two platforms up, first release the clamps on both of them and then raise the near platform, jump onto it and raise the second platform which you'll then want to jump up to and onto the ledge but that requires all the Droids to be dead).

Walk around the balcony shooting any remaining droids up here if you couldn't quite manage to deflect their attacks back at them.

Drop off the top ledge through one of the gaps that the droids were standing at and take out any more droids that you missed. Once it's finally all clear jump back down to the ground and use a Jedi to assemble the ramp up to the middle layer, you'll need that for R2-D2 to access the Astromech panel on the door at the back.

Use the Force to place a grapple up high, to open a vent that Anakin can crawl through, and to create a platform for the Jedi to use. With all six characters across go through the arch and defeat a few droids and droidekas.

Stand on the six buttons here (in Free Play it becomes just two buttons) and the doors will open to reveal a bunch of Battle Droids. Clear them out and proceed along the corridor, a few more will appear as you get close to a Force block puzzle (which only leads to some studs).

Backtrack to the mosaic and go through the Astromech door.

Go up the stairs through some more groups of droids, once in the courtyard use a blaster character to grapple up to the droids on the top level to shoot them.

Jump back down and switch to a Jedi to reform the spiral steps on the right just past the area you were just on, that'll let all the characters get up to a broken bridge that a Jedi can fix.

Return to the path after the bridge and use the Force to blow up the blocks on the other side of the gap, careful not to try to reach them as it's a death gap. At the far left end smash the flower bed to reveal a button, standing on it will open a hatch for Anakin to crawl through to get over to the other side.

With those blocks out of the way Anakin can reach another hatch over there which he can also crawl through. That leads to a button on the top level. Crawl back and go through the opened door.

Defeat the droids in the courtyard as you head to the right.

Defeat any last droids you may have missed and then it's time to set about getting all six characters to a ledge above the area.

First we'll reassemble an elevator platform for R2-D2 over on the far right side, you use the Force on the objects by the large window. Then smash a plant pot just to the left of the elevator that's hiding a grapple point. Along the back wall a little way to the left is a broken hatch, use the Force to reassemble it.

And finally have one Jedi stand on one of the blocks found against the back at the far left end, the other will automatically jump onto the other one in single player. Raise the platforms up using the Force and jump onto the balcony. Use the Force to raise the next platform up and then make your way past the hatch to where the six buttons are found.

With all six characters up stand on the buttons and head inside.

There's a small platoon of Battle Droids in the hall, defeat them.

Go up the steps to a droideka. Kill it and then smash the middle statue, it's got a button underneath that opens up the panel behind. The other two statues in this room also have buttons under them that open a panel, the one on the left only leads to two Droidekas but the one on the right leads to a couple of Battle Droids and a few blue studs. Go through the middle panel and then walk through to the hangar.

The task in here is to rescue the six pilots from the droids. For the first we'll go to the left and shoot the round objects, they're hiding a grapple point. Use it to get up to where you can shoot the lone Battle Droid guarding the lone pilot. You could also get up using the Force by stacking some crates.

For the second we continue a little further around the room to the far corner where there's another set of three blocks you can assemble using the Force. Stack them up with the largest on the bottom so you can double jump up to the single Battle Droid above.

Off to the right now heading past the yellow Naboo Starfighter ships to a pair of soldiers under guard on the ground. A Droideka will join the fight from the nearby doorway.

Once you've rescued that pair go towards the doorway that the Droideka came out of and have a Jedi stand on either of the two blocks either side of it. Raise yourself up and then jump up to the final single Battle Droid guarding the final two pilots. That's all six rescued.

With all six soldiers rescued have R2-D2 go over to the Astromech panel on the right side of the last of the Naboo Starfighters (R2-D2 can slightly hop by the way), doing so will immediately finish the level so make sure to have reached True Jedi first - there are several thousand studs hidden around the room.

Completing the level will unlock Padmé (Battle), R2-D2, and Anakin Skywalker (Boy) for use in Free Play. That leaves only one ability still to unlock, and you'll be able to get that after completing the very next level.

Chapter 6

DARTH MAUL

True Jedi

Story Mode	Free Play
25,010	42,840

Step forwards a little to face up against Darth Maul, quickly use your lightsaber to reflect the droids' shots back at them. Once all four are gone Maul will start throwing barrels at you, catch them with the Force to hit him.

Some more droids will run in for you to bounce their blasts back at them and again with a barrel at Darth Maul. All once more to get rid of the third heart. He'll run off and let you use the Force on the bridge to get over the gap.

Drop back down and follow where Darth Maul went through the large door directly between those two yellow platforms.

Go back to the start of the area and now start jump up the platforms to follow Maul up to the right.

In Story Mode you'll have to Force Pull out some platforms to reach the exit but if you've gone up top in Free Play you can just drop down to the right across a bridge that's directly above an earlier Minikit.

Jump over the gap to Maul and he'll run off again while summoning an infinite supply of droids. To stop them you must go to the left and right ends and defeat the Commander Battle Droids standing there. Once both are dead a couple of Droidekas will appear, the best strategy here is to deflect their blasts back at them with your Lightsabers. Once they're both defeated you'll see the buttons underneath them for you to both press.

Jump onto the platform that rises up and approach Darth Maul to start following down the corridor. Use the Force on the levers with your Jedi partner all the way to the end of the corridor.

Now it's time to start attacking Darth Maul directly. The easiest way is to jump and attack, that bypasses his defenses and immediately takes off a heart. Repeat that six times and he'll then jump away to use the Force to create some ledges. While he's up there he'll start throwing objects at you, use the Force to catch and throw them back at him. Do that three times.

In the final part of the fight when you start getting a red aura around your character immediately get as close to the other character and switch to them, then take the opportunity to attack Maul with any attack you like. Run away from Maul again until you see the red glow reappear and switch to the other character and attack. Repeat until all his hearts are gone.

Defeating Darth Maul will unlock him for purchase at Dexter's store. Darth Maul has the Dark Side Force ability, which is the last of the game's unique abilities. So buying him will mean you are able to fully complete any level's Free Play (once you've unlocked it of course).
