[Activate the three Signal Towers to reveal Luke's location.]

We'll the do the one that you can see straight ahead of you when you start first but you can do them in any order you like. To get there though you'll need to go northeast to where you can see a zipline from the tower ends. A little further past that is an area with a probe droid patrolling around some cover, crates, and a snowspeeder turret. Avoid the red circle in front of the probe droid and shoot it down.

Pull the lever next to the snowspeeder turret then get in the snowspeeder and spin it around to face west so you can shoot some ice that's holding up a bridge. Walk to the end of the dropped half of the bridge and have Han aim at the support under the other side of the bridge on the left. The Scoundrel Opportunity will bring the other half down to where you can jump over onto it. Or using General Rieekan you can grapple up and pull the bridge down with his weight.

Before you start climbing the tower shoot down the probe droid that's patrolling the base of it. Han can't quite reach the first bar so to jump up there you'll need to smash the nearby crates and drag a larger crate with handles on over towards the tower (or you could switch to General Rieekan and grapple up to it). Now you can start the climb. Once you've shimmied and jumped your way to the top pull the lever to activate this first Signal Tower. You now need to aim the signal into the sky so that the beam turns green, it should just be up a little to the left. Leave using the zipline.

The second tower is over to the east side of the map. Approach the north end of the walls, making sure to shoot down the probe droid, and pull a switch next to the gate to open it partially. There's another probe droid inside for you to shoot down. Go left and up the steps to the top of the wall where there's a block you will want to push off the edge. Jump down after it and build the LEGO into a ladder back up. Before you go back up though pull the switch next to the gate again to shut it.

At the top of the wall walk over the closed gate and as you approach the tower another probe droid will appear and take a power cell that you'll need. Jump down and over to where it smashed up a bunch of stuff on the far side of the tower, from that debris you can build either a magnet or a turret. Your choice. Grab the power cell and plug it back into the tower.

Now that the tower is rotating again you'll be able to make it all the way to the top to flip the switch. Aim it up to the right, in the general direction that the first tower beam is pointing. Zip on down.

The third tower is in the south of the level. Cross a narrow bridge and attack another probe droid floating about over there. Han will complain about an ice covered bridge so off we go to the southwest where there's a narrow bridge leading to a rocky mound, go around the back of it and wind your way to the top where there's a turret you can climb inside. Use it to shoot the ice on the narrow bridge leading to the tower.

Climb up the final tower, ignore the collapsing nature of it, and pull the lever to activate the satellite dish. Point it towards where the other two are aiming (a bit up to the left) and then use the zipline to get down.

[Follow the signal to find Luke.]

Luke is pretty much in the dead centre of the map of course. On the southern side of the rocky outcrop there is a cave entrance blocked by ice, when you approach a Wampa will smash through grabbing a probe droid. Follow it inside to complete the level.

Level Challenges

Avoid the Droid!

Shoot 5 probe droids out of the air without them spotting you first.

There are only 6 probe droids in the level that can count towards this so you don't have much wiggle room. By spotting you first for this challenge it just means that you need to start shooting it without having stepped into its red circle first. It can react and start attacking you and still count so long as you shot first. In fact you don't even need to kill them, one shot from a distance is all that it requires, you can then leave it to live out the rest of its life just floating around scanning the snow. Also don't be too concerned that if you don't get the other challenge on the first kill, the requirements for that are a little different even though it's worded exactly the same.

Not a Probe-lem

Shoot 1 probe droid out of the air without them spotting you first.

These two challenges seem to have almost the same description but the requirement of what "spotting you" means seems to be slightly different as probes that count towards the 5 probe challenge don't always count towards this one. For this one you do need to actually kill it and it must be before it can react at all which is easy enough if you shoot from a distance.

Stylish Way Down

Find and use all 5 zipwires.

There are the three main ones on top of each of the signal towers and then there are two more in the southern section. One next to the turret you use to clear the ice off the bridge and another shorter one near to where you land after that zipline.

Echo Base, Main Hangar

Prepare For Ground Assault!

[Prepare Luke's snowspeeder for battle.]

Just to the east of where you load in is Luke's snowspeeder, have R2-D2 use the Astromech Socket behind it to fix the engine and then get Luke to smash up the nearby crates to get the bricks to finish building the right wing. Now all you've got to do is use the Force to attach it to the rest of the snowspeeder.

[Head into battle!]

Step into the glowing circle next to the snowspeeder once you've finished fixing it.

Assault on Echo Base

[Defeat the AT-STs!]

First up in this vehicle level are some AT-STs to destroy, there's a line of the straight ahead.

[Continue defending Echo Base!]

Another 6 AT-STs will be appear, time to defeat them too.

[Defeat the AT-ATs!]

And now the focal point of the Hoth battle: the AT-ATs. Fly towards the first one trying to get your grapple target to lock on. Once you activate it you need to loop around the AT-AT flying through the circles. If you mess up and disconnect just loop back around and try again.

And of course as soon as you defeat the first one another three will appear for you to defeat. Defeat them all in the same way but you may want to clear out their accompanying AT-STs before grappling. Wrapping around the third AT-AT will complete the level.

Level Challenges

AT-ATrick

Fly through the legs of an AT-AT.

Do this during the section with three AT-ATs as they'll actually be walking, try to time it so that the legs are furthest apart.

Show Off!

Trip up the AT-ATs without the tow cable breaking.

Don't get miss too many circles when circling them, if you break a cable you have to start the level over to get this challenge. Due to the way the level ends you won't have confirmation that you have this challenge completed until you see the end of level summary.

Rogue Squadron, Form Up!

Complete the level without being defeated.

Most of my deaths in this level are from flying directly at the AT-STs so don't do that, you'll explode immediately. Same as the previous one, if you mess up you'll have to restart the level and you won't get confirmation you've completed it until the summary screens.

Hoth, Echo Base

Echo Base Escape!

[Escape to the Millennium Falcon in the Echo Base hangar.]

If you try to run directly south to the Falcon the tunnel will collapse forcing you to turn around and go a longer way. Loop round westwards and on the south turn a few Snowtroopers will appear behind some cover. Blast through them and continue south past Darth Vader and more Snowtroopers.

Keep following the markers south past more and more Snowtroopers until you finally reach the level start point.

[Defeat the pursuing TIE Fighters!]

The beginning part of the level features two enormous Star Destroyers but your task to begin with is simply to shoot down 10 TIE Fighters.

[Weaken the enemy ships and wait for a chance to escape.]

Now it's time to take on the Star Destroyers. Regular shots won't affect the turrets or radars, you'll need to collect torpedoes to blow them up. Torpedoes drop from the TIE Fighters with a purpley tail, so get to shooting at them when you spot them. You only need to destroy 10 turrets/dishes so you could stick to hanging out near just one of the Star Destroyers if you want.

[Escape from the Empire!]

In this section you just fly forwards avoiding the asteroids and shooting the occasional TIE Fighter that pops up. Once you get close to the marker you'll fly down and skim along the surface of a larger asteroid. Keep to the trench and after a while you'll complete the level.

Level Challenges

Asteroid Evasion

Avoid contact with the asteroids during the asteroid chase.

Be extra careful, try not to go too fast.

Proton Power

Destroy 5 TIE Fighters using Proton Torpedoes.

During the part where you're supposed to be blowing up turrets and radar dishes instead use the torpedoes on TIE Fighters.

Take Evasive Action!

Complete the Star Destroyer encounter without being destroyed.

Avoid smashing into the side of the Star Destroyers and focus on getting torpedoes and quickly using them. Hitting the lines of four turrets often causes a chain reaction that blows up all four at once.
