lieselstarwarsgamesWhich episode is next? Let’s find out.
Well as you can see, Poggle the Lesser is now featured on the level select screen, but it’s still on Count Dooku’s path. Whatever, I’m done trying to make sense of how these levels are arranged. Also, we’ve abruptly jumped to the Season 2 episode, “Weapons Factory,” which is the one where Anakin, Luminara, Ahsoka, and Barriss attempt to infiltrate the weapon factory in the bowels of Geonosis. This was actually one of my favorite story arcs (and it might have been the story arc that made me a Barrissoka shipper – I didn’t know what was gonna happen at the end of Season 5 back then . . .), so let’s see if the game does it justice.
The level begins with a cutscene of Ahsoka and Barriss giggling at shirtless clones doing a workout (really) while their masters plan out strategy and . . . oh great, ANOTHER Separatist base to take. Come on, I wanna explore the Geonosis underground!
(sighs) Might as well destroy rocks and plants for studs – that’s still fun, but I’m gonna run out of things to say if all the levels are gonna be the same. Also, the rocks and plants respawn in this level too, meaning we can use the same trick from the last level to reach True Jedi.
Also also, there’s a minikit on top of a rock, but we need Jar Jar’s super jump to reach it and he’s not with us right now.
Well, we capture the first base just like we did in previous levels . . . and then the battle droids summon backup and we’ve got to capture MORE bases.
Okay, let’s capture those bases and then . . . oh fuck me, MORE bases to capture??
At least this round’s a bit different. This time around you’ll notice a lot of the bases have gold machinery. In order to destroy them, use Rex to radio the troops to all fire at them at once.
This is honestly kind of tedious since the clone troops tend to not follow you for very long. The best way to not have a frustrating time is to build barracks in every base you capture so you always have a supply of clones nearby.
After you’ve got all the bases, the droids call for even more backup . . . oh COME ON, we’re not gonna have to capture still more bases, are we?
Oh wait, now the scene changes to Ahsoka and Barriss.
Use your lightsaber to cut through the rock and FINALLY we get to go underground!
Of course, it won’t be long before we reach a dead end, but see thoseTriforces triangle blocks? Use the Force to move them around and they’ll open up another cave.
Now we get to explore deeper into the caverns – and destroy five of these prickly bush things for a minikit.
Of course, we have to fight off Geonosians on our way down through more triangle gates, but hey, this part feels like a regular Lego Star Wars level where you explore and solve puzzles and find surprises. Why couldn’t more levels be like this?
At the end of the cavern, it will look like you’ve hit a dead end, but just use the Force on some debris and build a trampoline. Yes, a trampoline.
Now we’re at the core of the weapon factory, which is guarded by an endless supply of Geonosians and a giant hovertank. We’ve got to take it out, but first, let’s use the Force on five of these valves for a minikit. Anakin and Luminara can wait, after all.
There are also two enemy droid activation panels that we need to activate, but how do we do that? Simple, cut the supervisor droid’s head off and wear his head in order to fool the panel! Brutal.
Activate the panels to expose the machine’s wiring, then slice off the hovertank’s guns and jump in to BLAST the machine to kingdom come! Thus ends the level, but we’re not done yet. We’ve got enough Gold Bricks to do some more hub exploring. The next door we can build leads to . . . a balcony over a wide area.
Oh wait, there’s an elevator at the end of the balcony that leads to the hangar, where you can see all the vehicles you’ve unlocked.
I also found R4 rolling around, so I bought him (her? Them? I’m still not sure.).
I also used Padme’s blaster to yank open this crate, revealing the first Power Brick!
As you can see, this Brick is for the Score x2 powerup, which was pretty expensive, so I decided to wait on it.
I also used Wag Too to crawl through a chute to another Power Brick, this one for the Power Brick Detector.
Hopefully we’ll have the Brain Invaders episode next, since that’s one of my favorite episodes and it’s damn creepy. I also hope the horror won’t be watered down by capturing bases over and over.
