Find a way to get the Death Star plans off the ship.
Move forwards along the corridor and you'll see C-3PO and R2-D2 running past. You've got to follow them so turn right up a ramp and then left and up another ramp to a junction. Here you'll see a rebel soldier standing at a console, he'll open the door for you and if you go through you'll encounter some Stormtroopers.
Pull out your blaster and start shooting at them, you can take cover if you like but they're not great shots. Avoid the large red circles that appear on the ground as that's where they're throwing a grenade (you can interrupt them if you shoot the trooper that's about to throw it). Once you've defeated enough of them Darth Vader will appear and chase you out of the area.
To the right of the previous door you will need to assemble a grapple point from the bricks on the ground, use your grapple to pull it out to reveal a target that you can shoot with your blaster. Hitting it will open the door here and let in a couple of Stormtroopers for you to punch.
After beating up the troopers go forwards to another group of them that are assembling behind some cover with a stack of cans on it. There are a variety of ways through this section but the simplest is to just go straight forwards and shoot them. Go along the corridor behind them and then to the left. As you approach the section where the corridors join back together you'll fall through the floor.
Once you've fallen down approach the electrified floor and use your grapple to pull the lever on the wall to reveal a bar that you can grapple up to, using your weight pull down to shut off the power. If you jump off the power will return so switch to the other character and have them cross the deactivated floor to pull the lever on the other side that permanently shuts the power off and unlocks the door ahead. Now your first character can follow.
Keep walking down the corridor through a door to where you see Darth Vader fighting some rebels, ignore that and turn to the right. You'll see a couple of Stormtroopers messing with a grenade that will block your path forwards by disabling the door and causing a fire.
Luckily you can use your grapple on the wall to the right of the fire and pull out some LEGO bricks to build a contraption. You have a choice here, you can either build a Laser Turret to blast through the broken door or a Water Cannon to put out the fire. Both paths join together again fairly quickly so there's not much difference.
If you choose the Turret you can continue to use it to blast the Stormtroopers on the other side of the door. If you choose the Water Cannon you will need to go to the end of the corridor and activate the Hero Terminal to evacuate the other corridor. Quickly tap the on screen button to avoid getting blown out too. Follow the corridor along to where there's a red chest with an Empire symbol on the floor in front of it. You can open it up if you're in a full stormtrooper disguise to get a couple of weapons but it's not important. You do however need to use your grapple on a couple of points on the ceiling to the right to reveal a couple of targets to shoot. That will open the door to let you move on.
Inside the next room are a couple of troopers on ledges that have disabled the exit and a couple of troopers on the ground next to some large cubes. Shoot them all and smash the cubes to get some LEGO. Assembling that LEGO will create a hologram desk, pull it backwards onto the circular spot until it spins around. Once it has done that you can push it towards the wall beneath where one of the high up Stormtroopers was.
Once you've pushed the desk against the wall you can jump on it and bounce up to where that Stormtrooper was and pull the lever up there. Jump back down and pull the desk back to the middle, it'll spin again and now face the other side of the room. A few Stormtroopers will burst in, defeat them and then push the desk again and then bounce up to where the second trooper was to pull a second switch.
With both switches pulled the door will open so you can continue. Defeat the two troopers hiding under the boxes then go up the ramp to the right. As you approach another ramp to the left you'll see some rebels being escorted by some Stormtroopers as well as another glimpse of R2-D2.
Up the ramp and straight on into the corridor where R2-D2 is waiting for you.
Reach the escape pod!
We've switched focus and are now playing as R2-D2 and C-3PO, your goal is now to find the escape pod and get off the Tantive IV.
Straight on we go, avoid the dangling live wires and the flailing tubes of fire all the way to the end where you'll find an Astromech Socket and a Protocol Droid terminal. You have a choice here, you can use C-3PO to either activate a fire alarm to quickly clear out the room, or you can use a turret to shoot the troopers and the locks on either side of the door to open it. Take a right after the hologram room.
Or you can have R2-D2 rotate the Astromech Socket to open the other door next to it. Around the corner is a large pit with a dangling live wire blocking the way. Use R2's grapple to pull the crate into the pit so you can use it as a platform to jump to the other side. Just past another live wire is a door, approach it and it'll open for you. Take a right.
Now take a right again, at the end of that corridor is your ultimate goal. Smash the crate here to get the parts to build another Astromech Socket that R2-D2 can use to open up the door to the escape pod and finish the level.
Level Challenges
- Sometimes I Amaze Myself
- Defeat an enemy with an explosive canister.
- The easiest point to do this is right at the first encounter with stormtroopers. Carefully aim and fire at the red canister on the wall to the left of where the troopers gather and it'll fly around for a bit before exploding, hopefully taking out one of the stormtroopers. There are a few more chances dotted around, just look for the canisters on the wall.
- I Suggest a New Strategy
- Defeat a Stormtrooper with their own weapon.
- At the spot where you can send a corridor full of stormtroopers out into space there is a Villain Crate that you can take a weapon from (provided you are playing as a Villain class or are fully disguised as a stormtrooper). Use one of these weapons in the next room to defeat a stormtrooper.
- Vacuumed Up!
- Flush Stormtroopers out into space.
- At the point where you choose whether to build a laser turret or a water cannon build the water cannon to put out the fire and use the hero terminal at the end of that corridor to vent the stormtroopers into space. Obviously do not go down the other corridor and kill all of the stormtroopers first.
Minikits
Minikit 1/5 - An Acrobatic Mission
Requires: The Force Story Mode: No
Show off your acrobatic abilities for a special reward!
At the point where you see Darth Vader chase a few rebels in a corridor ahead of you that you can't reach (just before the laser/water turret build) if you go to the left there is a door you can open using the Force. Drop down the hole and make your way past the obstacles to reach the minikit at the end.
Minikit 2/5 - Storage Wars
Requires: None Story Mode: Yes
The cleaners must have been in a rush to finish...
At the very end of the level just before you get into the escape pod is a door that you can open to reveal a whole mess of junk with a minikit canister in the middle. Smash it and then assemble the minikit to collect it.
Minikit 3/5 - Rhythm Rebels
Requires: The Force/Scoundrel Story Mode: No
Time for a dance break!
There are a few ways to get to the disco hall, one is to continue past where you get the "An Acrobatic Mission" minikit you'll eventually stumble onto it. A second way is to use a Scoundrel to hit the purple target above the place where you build the laser turret/water cannon. Grapple up and go along the corridor then drop into the disco. Another is just before you switch to R2-D2 and C-3PO to use the Force on a switch above a door, the disco hall is just down that corridor. At the disco room defeat all of the stormtroopers and then use the Force to "distract" the rebel soldiers so that they all start dancing. Once all three are dancing the parts for the minikit will fall out of the disco death star for you to assemble.
Minikit 4/5 - Gonk This Way!
Requires: None Story Mode: Yes
Grab a couple of gonks for free entry!
During the sequence where you assemble a trampoline that you move around to reach some switches you will open up a corridor to the left of where you entered. Down this corridor is a Gonk droid and four red buttons on the floor. Backtrack through the level a bit to the corridor that was blocked by fire that you could put out with the a water turret, in that corridor is a second Gonk droid. Ride it to the four buttons and jump off it once you've activated one of those buttons. Place the other Gonk on a second button and then have both your characters stand on the other two buttons to open the door.
Minikit 5/5 - Mynock! Who's There?
Requires: Grapple, Hero, The Force Story Mode: NoHow did these mynocks get on board? Somebody do something!
There are four mynocks (winged batlike creatures) hidden through the level, defeat all four to get a minikit. One is located in the upper section of the corridors just after the trampoline room. A second is found in a corridor unlocked by a hero terminal in that same area, you must carefully avoid the floor collapse in front of it as you will otherwise be unable to get back up. The third is found just after the "An Acrobatic Mission" minikit, you need the Force to enter this section. And the fourth is found in the corridors above the "Rhythm Rebels" minikit room.
