lieselstarwarsgamesWhew, no more rail shooter inverted control levels. Let’s get to the good stuff.
That last level was a drag (which is a shame, since it could have been awesome), but now we get back to the regular exploration fun.
The level begins with Anakin and Obi-Wan crashing into Grievous’s ship (and Obi-Wan faints – that guy REALLY doesn’t like flying) and look, there’s Grievous in the distance.
But don’t worry, he’s patient enough to just stand there while we use the Force on various objects (including Anakin and Obi-Wan’s fighters) to get studs. And of course, after taking our sweet old time gathering money and finally enter the hall, Grievous runs off and sends a troop of battle droids. Well, it’s easy to take care of them by now, then we can use the Force some more for more studs. Hey, we might actually be doing the galaxy a favor if we DON’T rescue the chancellor, so there’s no guilt to be felt this time.
It may seem like nothing happens when we use the Force to pull down on these blue levers . . .
. . . but if you pull them all down, a couple of blue studs fall from the ceiling. Just goes to show that you’ve gotta explore everything in this game.
Use the Force on the door to get into the next hall, where you’ll immediately be met with battle droid resistance. Take ‘em out, collect studs, and at the end of the hall you’ll find a ledge (I love the sparks flying here).
There’s an ascension gun hook here that leads to a minikit, but alas, we don’t have any blasters, so off the ledge we go into a big room to gather more studs and fight more droids. There’s also an astro droid activation panel here.
Come to think of it, where’s R2? He came with Anakin and Obi-Wan in the movie, where is he now? Is he off exploring or did he get in trouble with super battle droids like in the movie? Anyway, this elevator shaft isn’t working, but you can use the Force on junk to make steps to get up.
After taking out the battle droids at the top, go off to the side, where a droideka guards a passage that leads to this engine thing here. Use the Force on it to make it spill out TONS of studs. Maybe that’s where Grievous keeps his life savings.
There are also two tunnels. Use the Force on the gates to open them and you can walk right in. For some reason I like going through the tunnels, maybe it’s because of how the camera zooms in up close.
Both tunnels lead to the same hallway, where you’ll have (surprise surprise) another swarm of battle droids to take out – but hey look, there’s R2!
You can take R2 back through the tunnel to the activation panel if you want, but the panel just turns on an elevator so R2 can get back up. Pretty pointless, but it’s ADORABLE to see R2 roll through the tunnels.
Anyway, head to the next room and sweep the place for studs. You’ll notice a lot of activation panels here. Well, R2 can activate the first panel on the left . . .
. . . and look, a minikit!
The next panel can only be activated by a protocol droid, so ignore that one for now and have R2 activate the next one. The door opens to this . . . whatever it is.
Use the Force to make the whatever-it-is float to the tiny room off to the side, then use the Force on it again and it EXPLODES, granting you a stud reward and lowering a ramp to give you access to the next room.
And whoa, we’re up high again.
As tempting as that minikit floating above your head looks, we need a super jump to get it (again). However, if you carefully make your way to the left, there’s another minikit waiting for you – with a nice view to boot.
Down the other way, Anakin and Obi-Wan can use the Force to make a step they can jump on, but what about R2? Well, simple, use the Force on a lever to make a gush of air start blowing up and cute little R2 can float.
Have I mentioned that I love R2? Sure, it’s pretty much a staple for Star Wars fans to love R2, so yeah, it’s hard NOT to love that adorable little astro droid. Even before I saw the movies, I knew he was adorable.
Where was I? Oh yeah, go floating up, take out the droideka, have R2 open the door, and you’ll find Palpatine, along with Count Dooku.
Dooku uses pretty much the same tactics here as he used in the AOTC level – jump around and occasionally immobilize you with lightning. Of course, you can also go stud-hunting in the two little rooms off to the side and use R2 to fly over to these platforms covered with studs.
After the battle, Anakin cuts off Dooku’s hand (onscreen) and kills him (offscreen), then the Jedi free Palpatine. Course, we still have to get out of here, so we head to the next room, collect studs, have R2 open a door for more studs, studs studs studs STUDS! Incidentally, for some reason I find it hilarious how Lego Palpatine walks in his chancellor robes. I don’t know why, but something about it cracks me up. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t actually have any feet and his feet are welded into his robes.
But in the next room, suddenly a GIANT WALL IS CLOSING IN ON YOU!! You’ve got to run as fast as you can, avoiding holes and collecting studs on the way until it FINALLY stops at the end of the hall.
Did you miss any studs? Do you still need to reach True Jedi status? Well R2 can activate the panel and send the wall going backwards. You can pick up any studs you missed and you’ll also find the Power Brick, but alas, it’s encased in that shiny material that’s too tough for lightsabers.
In the next room, it looks like you’re on another ledge . . .
. . . but just go off to the side and you’ll find a path. Course, you have to use the Force on these levers to turn the poisonous gas off.
Or on second thought, have Palpatine walk through the poisonous gas – that might be in the galaxy’s best interest. Alas, you can’t do that, though. In fact, there’s one point where there’s no lever to turn off the gas – instead there’s an activation panel on the other side of the gas. Fortunately, poison gas doesn’t affect our hero R2 – he doesn’t have lungs, after all.
There’s also this thingy at the end you can use the Force on to make it explode, giving you access to studs and a minikit.
And look, now we’ve found Grievous, but of course he takes off in an escape pod and lets his bodyguards deal with us. Lego Grievous is actually kind of creepy – I don’t know if it’s his face or what, but anyway, his bodyguards are relentless. They’re super-fast and like in the movie, they keep attacking even after you cut off their heads.
Well, after taking out the bodyguards (and looking for studs, of course), we can finally make it to the cockpit. Obi-Wan and Anakin, can Force-pull these levers to take off, but first, have a look at the explosions outside.
And of course, sweep the cockpit for studs. In the back of the cockpit you’ll find not one but TWO minikits!
When you take off, a cutscene plays of the rough landing (love how Palpatine hides behind the seat!) and the level ends. The level unlocked ROTS Obi-Wan, Jedi Knight Anakin, and Chancellor Palpatine, and at the bar we can buy Count Dooku . . .
. . . and Grievous’s bodyguard.
And as you can see, that wiped my bank account since Dooku costs 100,000 studs, but he’s worth it. See you for the next level!
