If you're a young player, you might find that your parents or other adults want to join in. Though we've tried to make the game as easy as possible, even for older people -- at some point they're going to need help. We all know how impatient adults can be. So to save time explaining things to them, just ask them to read the following tips: · Jedi characters can use the Force to move or transform objects highlighted with a Force glow effect. Press and hold the c button to use this Special Ability. · All LEGO objects can be played with. If you get stuck, look for LEGO objects to help you out in some way. · Press the x button to jump. Press it again in the air to execute a double-jump that leaps you over high obstacles or up to high ledges. · Press the s button to attack. · You can tag certain characters to take control of them and use their Special Abilities. To do that, walk up to a friendly character and press the t button. · Sometimes you'll need the abilities of a specific character to progress, so be ready to tag nearby characters if you can't find a way forward. · When you first start the game in Dexter's Diner, walk through the door marked "I" then through the door marked "1" to play the first scene from Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. All other scenes are locked at first. · Once you complete this first scene, you'll be able to play in Episode II and Episode III as well -- so even if you get stuck on one path, you'll still find a way to progress further through a different Episode door. 1/2 4/3 x button directional buttons t button CHARACTER CONTROLS Move character Jump/Hover (if available) Attack/Defend Use the Force/Special Ability Tag friendly character Pause game/in-game options left analog stick x button s button c button (hold down) Face character and press the t button w button VEHICLE CONTROLS Move vehicle Fire weapon Speed up (podracer only) Pause game/In-game options left analog stick s button s button w button FREE PLAY CHARACTER CONTROLS Cycle character left/right l button/r button 4 5 INTRODUCTION · A second player can join in the game at any time.

If you can just get them to pay attention to these simple concepts, then even adults who've never played a game before will be able to share the LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game adventure! The ancient darkness of the Sith grows ever more powerful. Even the noble Jedi Order, guardians of peace and justice for so long, are threatened by this deepening evil. In LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, you can experience the whole epic story of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Scene by scene, the action sees you taking control of a wide variety of characters fighting against the Sith threat: powerful Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Master Yoda; courageous droids like R2-D2; the hapless Gungan Jar Jar Binks; Chewbacca the Wookiee, and others . . . . And the world of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is full of secrets! As you build your collection of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game characters, you'll use their special powers to discover more and more of the game. And as you collect more and more LEGO Studs, you'll be able to acquire further playable characters -- even the most fearsome of your dark side adversaries! The fate of the galaxy is in your hands! 6 7 DEXTER'S DINER DEXTER JETTSTER Welcome to the world of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game! Your adventure begins in Dexter's Diner on the planet Coruscant. Here in the capital of the Republic, heroes and villains mingle from all over the galaxy. And Dexter knows them all . . . . When you first start the game, you'll be in control of Qui-Gon Jinn, an experienced Jedi Master. Also in the Diner you'll see Dexter behind the counter and Obi-Wan Kenobi. As your loyal Jedi Padawan, Obi-Wan will follow you wherever you go. As you progress, new characters will join you here as they are added to your collection, and you'll be able to take them into Free Play Mode. Directly in front of you are three doors, numbered "I," "II" and "III." These "Episode Doors" correspond to the three Star Wars movies Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. To begin with, Episode Doors II and III are locked. They will unlock and become available for play once you have completed the first scene in Episode I, "Negotiations." You'll then be able to play the three Episodes in parallel: you can move from one Episode to another through the Diner, without losing your progress in each adventure. 1. To start your game, move Qui-Gon through the Episode I door. In the next room, you'll see six new doors and an exit back to the main Diner area. Each door leads to a different scene in Episode I. Each scene you complete unlocks the next door in the story sequence. 2. Walk through the door marked "1," and you'll start playing the first scene of Episode I, "Negotiations." The proprietor of Dexter's Diner, Dexter Jettster, stands behind the counter in the main Diner area. If you walk up to him you can browse the items he has for sale. To begin with, you'll be able to see some game hints. Later, he'll also give you the opportunity to purchase special items, bonus characters and secret features in exchange for LEGO Studs. (For more information about LEGO Studs, see page 17.) You can select an item from Dexter's shelves by using the directional buttons and pressing the x button to bring the item down onto the counter. Then you can see how much it costs and decide if you'd like to buy it (provided you have enough LEGO Studs). To buy the item, press the x button. To cancel purchase of the item, press the t button. When you finish talking with Dexter, press the t button to return to the Diner. THE PARKING LOT Besides the three Episode Doors, you'll see another door in the Diner, leading to the Parking Lot. In the Parking Lot, watch your collection of LEGO Mini-kit Vehicles grow as you explore further through the game. Each scene contains the pieces for one LEGO Mini-kit Vehicle hidden inside 10 LEGO Canisters. When you successfully build a complete vehicle, you'll get a big reward! 8 9 PLAYING THE GAME TWO PLAYER DROP-IN/DROP-OUT Player 1 LEGO Studs Player 1 Character Player 1 Hearts Player 2 LEGO Studs Player 2 Hearts Player 2 Character At any point in the action a second player can join in and you can play together. To do that, connect a second controller to controller port 2 and press the w button. The new player will take control of a nearby friendly character. Either player can drop out at any time and leave his or her character to continue under computer control. Just press the w button and select DROP OUT from the Pause Menu. HEARTS Every time your character is injured, he, she or it loses a heart. When the last heart is lost, your character will fall apart, and you'll lose some of the LEGO Studs you've collected up to that point. MOVING AROUND Move your character using the left analog stick. The farther you push the stick in the direction you want to go, the faster your character will move. TAGGING Through your LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game adventure, you'll take control of a wide variety of different characters, all with their own individual moves and abilities. But your basic controls are always the same. Not all moves are available to all characters. And from time to time, you'll need to use a specific character's ability in order to progress. See Tagging on page 11 for information on how to change characters in a scene. Different characters have different abilities. To take control of a friendly character, move up to that character and press the t button. Two players can swap control by moving close to each other and holding the t button at the same time. 10 11 COMBAT LIGHTSABER · Press the s button to attack with your lightsaber. · Press the x button to jump, then press the s button in mid-air for an attacking forward leap. · Press the x button twice to double-jump, then press the s button in mid-air to launch a special slam attack. · Time your attacks carefully in sequence to execute powerful combo moves. · Press the s button when under attack to defend with your lightsaber. · Hold down the s button to maintain a defensive stance. · If you time your defensive move correctly, you can deflect blaster bolts back to your attackers.
