If all hearts are lost, then your character will fall apart! You'll lose any LEGO Studs you may be carrying, and the game will reset back to the start of the section you're playing. PLAYER STAMINA -- This bar shows how much Stamina you have available. You need Stamina to execute Special Abilities (see page 9). 5 CHARACTER SELECTION -- Sometimes you'll have only one character available to play. At other times a group of different characters is available. The Character Selection display enables you to see all the members of your party, and to switch between them using the Character Selection system. LEGO STUDS -- Your LEGO Stud total for the current level. During the level you can use these Studs to purchase items from Jawas. At the end of every level you are awarded more bonus Studs based on how many Studs you've collected (so get as many as you can!). Every Stud you collect is banked. Save up enough and you can purchase new characters to use in Free Play Mode! BOSS HEALTH METER -- Certain enemies are so powerful that they're designated as Bosses or Sub-Bosses. When you fight these enemies, a special gauge appears allowing you to see how much health they have remaining. CHALLENGE COUNTER -- From time to time, you'll be required to complete a certain number of specific challenges. This counter keeps track of your progress. CHALLENGE TIMER -- Sometimes you'll be required to complete a certain task within a specific time period. A timer like this appears showing how much time you have left. 6 USING THE FORCE All Jedi Knight and Sith Lord characters can use the Force to move and transform objects. You'll see a special Force effect highlighting objects that can be manipulated in this way. To use the Force, move your character close to the object and press and hold the L Button. COMBAT In the epic adventure of LEGO Star Wars, you'll take control of many different characters, each with his, her or its own distinctive abilities and moves. See page 12 to learn more about the abilities of each character. 7 LIGHTSABERS -- Jedi Knights and Sith Lords defend themselves with powerful lightsabers. Tap the B Button to wield your lightsaber against an enemy or to counter an attack. Time your attacks in sequence to execute powerful combo moves. Hold down the B Button to take up a defensive stance; but beware, holding a defensive stance consumes Stamina. When fighting with a Boss such as Darth Maul or the evil Count Dooku, you'll occasionally lock into an intense lightsaber clash. When that happens, tap the B Button repeatedly as fast as possible. Use your strength to break away and score a hit. PROTON MINES -- These explosive mines are planted on the ground by astromech droids when you press the B Button. They cause damage to the surrounding area when stepped on. After a certain amount of time they'll detonate automatically. You can take the matter into your own hands and detonate them remotely by pressing the L Button. Only two proton mines can be active at once. PROTON GRENADES -- When these are equipped, tap the B Button to lob a proton grenade at an enemy. Proton grenades cause damage to an area around their point of impact. SPECIAL ABILITIES Different characters all have their own Special Abilities which can be activated by pressing the R Button. See page 12 to learn more about the abilities of each character. Using a Special Ability costs Stamina. As soon as the power is activated, a burst of Stamina will be expended, as shown in the Stamina Bar at the top left of the screen (see page 5). Stamina regenerates over time. Note: This is different from a Jedi Knight's use of the Force, which can be used freely and infinitely to manipulate objects in the environment. BLASTERS -- When in control of a character equipped with a blaster, tap the B Button to fire a blaster bolt. Hold down the B Button to charge up a more powerful shot, then release the B Button to fire. GUNGAN GRENADES -- Jar Jar Binks can throw these blue balls of energy, which disrupt the electrical systems of enemy droids. Tap the B Button to throw a Gungan grenade. 8 9 FORCE PUSH -- A ranged maneuver that knocks back enemies, destroying weaker ones. Obi-Wan is proficient in this ability and it is rumored that some Sith Lords are as well.... JEDI MIND TRICK -- With intense concentration, Qui-Gon Jinn can confuse the minds of those around him, making them less likely to notice his presence and attack. This move is also effective on the electronic brains of droids. GUNGAN PANIC ATTACK -- Jar Jar Binks will panic under pressure. When you activate this ability, he rushes forward wildly, damaging anyone he comes into contact with. COMPUTER HACK -- Astromech droids can use their probes to open doors, deactivate force fields, and even take over stationary turrets! LIGHTSABER THROW -- With this move, Anakin throws his lightsaber, guiding it towards an enemy by the Force, then using the Force to will it back into his hand. CONTAINMENT FIELD -- A defensive maneuver, this field surrounds an enemy unit and renders it unable to attack. It can also be used on allies to shield them from damage. However, even the most powerful Jedi, such as Yoda, cannot sustain this effect for very long, and it will disappear after a short time. WOOKIEE PUMMEL ATTACK -- Chewbacca, with the huge strength of a Wookiee, lashes out with his arms to damage nearby enemies. ROCKET -- The bounty-hunter Jango Fett is equipped with a deadly arsenal including a rocket-firing backpack. DARK FORCE LIGHTNING -- This Sith lightning attack deals intense damage. 10 11 CHARACTERS Name OBI-WAN KENOBI QUI-GON JINN PADMÉ AMIDALA R2-D2 JAR JAR BINKS DARTH MAUL R4-P17 JANGO FETT ANAKIN SKYWALKER TUSKEN RAIDER COUNT DOOKU YODA CLONE TROOPER CHEWBACCA DARTH VADER Sith Sith Jedi Jedi Sith Hover High Jump High Jump Hover Hover In addition to their Special Abilities, certain characters have additional natural abilities: Weapon Lightsaber Lightsaber Blaster Proton Mine Gungan Grenades Double Lightsaber Proton Mine Blaster Lightsaber Blaster Lightsaber Lightsaber Blaster Blaster Lightsaber Affiliation Natural Ability Jedi Jedi Special Ability Force Push Jedi Mind Trick Proton Grenade Computer Hack Panic Attack Force Push Computer Hack Rocket Lightsaber Throw Blaster Smash Force Lightning Containment Field Proton Grenade Wookiee Pummel Attack Lightsaber Throw JAR JAR'S HIGH JUMP -- Jar Jar Binks can jump higher than all other characters. Hold down the A Button to execute his high jump and find areas inaccessible to most other characters. R2-D2'S HOVER -- The astromech droid R2-D2 is equipped with anti-gravity thrusters. Hold down the A Button, then move around using the Control Pad to make use of his hover ability. This move consumes Stamina. In some cases a Thruster Booster can be purchased from Jawas enabling R2 to hover extra high. This extra boost of power is temporary, so get the most out of it while you can! JANGO FETT'S ROCKET HOVER -- Jango Fett can use the rocket thrusters in his backpack to lift himself off the ground and move around in the air. Press and hold the A Button to jump and hover, then move around using the Control Pad. This move consumes Stamina. 12 13 CHARACTER SELECTION Different scenes feature different characters, with their own distinct abilities. You'll need to make use of every character's individual capabilities to overcome the challenges ahead of you. When you play any level for the first time, you'll have a predefined pool of playable characters in your group. Some early levels have only one character -- but more characters are added soon, eventually giving you up to three characters in the playable party. Tapping SELECT enables you to switch between the characters in your party. Tap SELECT repeatedly or use the Control Pad to choose a character from the group. Leaving your selection in place ...
