LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints

Canisters

  • 1 of 20: Most of these canisters can be found only in Free Play.  I will indicate specifically where canisters may also be available in Story mode.
  • 2 of 20: 1) In the first room, notice that there are several monitors where you can use the Force.
  • 3 of 20: Force each monitor, and a picture of a canister should appear on the screen.  Do this on all 4, and you will find an actual canister in the center of the room.
  • 4 of 20: 2 -- Also in Story) In the room with the cart on the tracks near the start of the level.
  • 5 of 20: While the cart is still circling around the room where you first find it, jump onto the cart, then jump quickly into one the two the alcoves above the cart.  (The alcove on the right has the canister.)
  • 6 of 20: 3) Go into the room that the little train opens up.
  • 7 of 20: 4 -- Also in Story) You will find several canisters in the room with the sliding crates, where you had to put C-3P0 on a cart in Story mode.  The first of these is available in Story mode.
  • 8 of 20: On the right side of this room is a large crate.  Shoot at it several times to destroy it and reveal the canister in the wall behind it.
  • 9 of 20: 5) Another canister is on the back wall of the cart room, high above the exit door.
  • 10 of 20: 6) On the right side of this same room will be a door that R2-D2 must open.  Go through that and find several snowtroopers ice fishing.
  • 11 of 20: In the left one of the two holes they've made in the ice, use the Force to bring up some bricks.  Build these bricks, and you'll have another canister.
  • 12 of 20: 7) Yet another canister is above you in the center of the cart room.
  • 13 of 20: 8) Once you're past the screen where you need to slide over 5 targets on the ground, look through a door that only C-3P0 can open.
  • 14 of 20: There will be a metal barrier in the hallway in this next area.
  • 15 of 20: Use a bounty hunter's thermal detonator to destroy it.  Then continue along the hall and build a console with some bricks on the ground.  This will lower the display case holding back a canister, so you can take it.
  • 16 of 20: 9) Just before you enter the room where the Millennium Falcon is located, look to your left, where there's an icy slope up.
  • 17 of 20: Once you're on the top, turn to the right to find two control panels.
  • 18 of 20: Both open doors in the room below, one of which has a canister.
  • 19 of 20: 10) There's another room above the steps, where you'll see a grappling circle on the floor.  Grapple here to reach a dome on the surface.
  • 20 of 20: Use a small character to go through the access hatch here to get the tenth canister.
