lieselstarwarsgamesWelcome back. Let’s forget the boring intros and just get to the game.
We’ve all gotta get to the Resistance base and as such Han says we should go back to the Falcon. Great, more little tasks to do before actually getting to the level.
But hey, if you do some exploring off to the side, you’ll run into the smugglers who were gonna take Finn in. They’re discussing where they should go next and thinking about the Mos Eisley Cantina, which is a wretched hive of sum and villainy “at least according to its commercials.” HAHAHAHA!
And off to the other side, Leia’s discussing the castle damage with Maz . . . and ignoring Han. Hey Leia, don’t you want to at least talk about Ben or something?
Well, the heartbreaking discussion about their wayward son will come later. Now let’s see what kind of pointless tasks we have to do to get to the next level.
And uh . . . wait, here’s a wall Finn can cut down with the lightsaber and behind it is . . . a little model of carbon frozen Han? What?
Huh, turns out you can collect carbonite bricks and return them to the Resistance base to unlock “iconic Star Wars characters.” That feature wasn’t in the 3DS version, so I wonder who all we can unlock.
Speaking of unlocking characters, there are a few extras hanging around who wave us down and we can purchase them with studs. FINALLY I can use studs to buy something!
Anyway, back to our tasks. Chewie needs to blow up some debris in our way, then Han needs to use his quadrnoculars to look at a fallen tree in our way (and then he says “As I figured, it’s a tree.”) and Finn need to slice up the tree with the lightsaber. Then when we reach the Falcon, Han says “Not a scratch on her! Well, no new ones.” HAHAHAHAAHA!!
Okay, into the Falcon and to the next level!
The level opens with Kylo telling Snoke about how Rey is strong with the Force (and Kylo and Hux have a fight involving ice cream, not kidding) and then we go to the Resistance base and Finn and Poe have their reunion. Now Leia wants to look at the map – but of course, the main computer is behind this giant circuit board.
And thanks to two Resistance fighters trying to cook nerf sausages in X-Wing thrusters (Lego humor, it never fails to surprise), the circuit board is now welded shut, so we’ve got to figure out how to get through.
Well, we’ll figure out a way – after we destroy vital Resistance equipment, of course. Also, build three astro droids for a minikit.
It’s always fun to smash stuff to bits for studs, but there’s something especially hilarious about General Organa herself destroying her own Resistance’s equipment for her own monetary gain. Also, Finn can cut through a wall and out pour bricks to build a minikit.
A little more exploring reveals a coolant leak in a room where the door can only be opened from the inside (and according to a nearby officer, the guy inside only speaks Bocce). Also, there’s a mysterious box here that can only be affected by the dark side. Um, Leia? Why do you have THAT at your base?
Fortunately, 3PO speaks Bocce like it’s a second language – and we actually hear him speak it during the Simon minigame at the panel, that’s actually cool! The guy inside opens the door and look, there’s one of the clamps we need to fix the circuit board! Unfortunately, it’s frozen in ice – and so is a minikit.
We can’t unfreeze the minikit yet, but we can push the clamp out into the main area. It’ll take a long time to thaw out, but the guy from earlier gives us a hint that we can thaw out the clamp out in the same way he cooked his sausage. Leia responds, “Not the worse idea ever. That was letting you into the Resistance.” HAHAHAHA! Between BB-8 operating a crane on a track and Leia building and rebuilding the gaps in the track, we can drop the ice in front of the X-Wing’s thrusters. Ah, teamwork.
One clamp down, one to go – and look, Leia’s still got some muscle in her.
But Leia’s got to summon some more muscle to get the second clamp. There’s a panel her for Resistance leaders with (groan) another minigame. The letters rotate and you’ve got to stop them when they show the correct letters to make the password.
Anyway, the panel activates a speaker calling for available crew members – and also opens a door full of more dark side boxes. Leia, do you have something you want to tell us?
Anyway, once we pull down the storage panel, we’ve got both clamps in and circuit board DOWN! Also, as we enter the hall, 3PO laments that he must get his red arm repainted because no one recognizes him with it and it’s “quite offensive on an aesthetic level.”
Also, the control room doors are locked.
Could this be because Leia’s been shooting everything in sight for the studs inside and the Resistance is trying to save themselves from their own general? Nah, it’s gotta be some sort of malfunction that’s totally not our fault.
But let’s do some fooling around before we look at the doors. Activate a Resistance panel and out come the bricks for building our second droid – and it’s R4!
Nice to see you again, R4! I was hoping the third droid would be someone familiar as well, but nope, it’s just a gray nobody droid.
Where were we again? Oh yeah, the control room doors. Since Leia’s an authority figure, she can get the soldiers hanging around to stand on the switches with her, which will turn on a terminal.
BB-8 can activate the terminal with one of those extremely simple Pipe Dream-esque minigames, which will open the doors.
Inside the control room, we’ll run into the dormant R2 and 3PO says, “Poor R2, I do miss our conversations, even if many of them did involve you insulting me.”
And while we’re up to our shenanigans of destroying everything in sight, don’t forget to have BB-8 charge a socket to make a minikit appear!
Shenanigans done, let’s plug BB-8 into the terminal. Several Resistance members parade in waving Luke banners, but alas, the map is incomplete. They have their briefing about Starkiller Base and Han and Finn make their plan to go there and take down the shields, but before they take off, an officer informs them that they need fuel and ammo. Han also adds “Wookiee cookies” to the list of the things they need. Yup, we had a Star Wars Holiday Special reference.
And now we’ve got a fetch quest, but hey, at least we can listen in on a humorous conversation between two Resistance workers about fixing everything with duct tape.
Also, there’s a minikit in this room.
To get the ammo, Leia needs to summon her troops to help her move a big engine in her way, then she and Finn can yank down a storage bin that has our ammo in it.
How do we get it to the Falcon? Simple, we drive it over!
Once the ammo’s on board, Leia says “We still need fuel and . . . Wookiee cookies,” saying “Wookiee cookies” like she can’t believe it’s coming out of her mouth. She’s probably hoping Han won’t remind her of the time she sang that Life Day song.
To get the fuel, Finn needs to use Anakin’s lightsaber to wall-jump up to the second level. Even though no one’s taught him how to wall-jump yet. Also, why does the hangar have an area that’s only accessible through wall-jumping? Well, though a combination of lightsaber-cutting and building, Finn can fix the elevator to get the others up, then 3PO can use a panel to unlock the room with the fuel.
With the fuel on board, Leia claims that’s everything until Chewie roars about the cookies. Leia apologizes, claiming she forgot them and that “No, it was NOT deliberate!” Yup, someone is definitely trying not to think about that Life Day song.
And why doesn’t Han just get the cookies? He’s just standing around in front of the Falcon not doing anything. Ah well, looks like we’ve still got to fetch the cookies associated with terrible Life Day memories.
The dreaded cookies are in the storage room guarded by Nien Nunb, but he won’t let us in unless we fetch him ice cream. Well, Leia’s more open to granting that request since after all, Nien’s a Rebellion hero and “He can have extra sprinkles if he wants! It’s the same deal with Han, but don’t tell him I said that.” Oh Leia, now I’m DEFINITELY telling Han that you owe him ice cream with extra sprinkles – and oh yeah, you might want to give it to him fast because something, er, bad might happen on Starkiller Base. Seriously Leia, let Han have all the ice cream he wants.
Anyway, it’s up the elevator to the second level, where BB-8 has to plug into a terminal and manipulate the box of ice cream through the conveyor belts.
Unlike the other minigames, this one takes a while and it’s pretty tedious, but at least it gets the precious ice cream out. Also, don’t forget to have BB-8 power up another terminal to drop bricks we can use to assemble another minikit.
The ice cream is sealed REALLY tightly – I’m guessing to protect it from the heat? – so Leia needs her squad’s help to open it. So much work just to get those damn cookies.
Once Nien gets his ice cream (seriously Leia, you should REALLY let Han have some . . .), he’ll open the storage room so we can get the cookies to the Falcon and forget about them. Han and Leia have their tearful goodbye and the Falcon takes off, ending the level and granting the “You wouldn’t like it” achievement.
Well, that was . . . a level. Don’t think it needed to be that long, but anyway, there’s a new Lego Star Wars special coming, WOOT! How about we close out with the trailer?
