LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints

How can I get past the fence on the second screen?

  • 1 of 16: Immediately after you enter from the first screen, you may notice a fence to your right.  You'll eventually be able to open that up in a bit, but the fence I'm talking about in these hints is at the far end of the area.
  • 2 of 16: Notice that there are some glowing parts in the sand a few steps away from the gate.  You may want to go ahead and have Kenobi use his Force to get those out of the sand now.
  • 3 of 16: But those are only a small part of the solution.  Also take a look at the dancing bricks just to the left, and build those.
  • 4 of 16: A little more to the left against the wall is a door with a control panel for R2-D2.  Have him open that, and you'll find some more parts that Obi-Wan can Force.  Move them to put them on the ground next to the other two pieces you just built.
  • 5 of 16: Now go back to the right of the fence and notice a door with a panel for C-3P0 to open.  You'll need to get him up that one little step, though.
  • 6 of 16: Shoot the crate holding a shiny blue stud, and you'll get the pieces to build a ramp for C-3P0, so that he can open the door with his access panel.
  • 7 of 16: You can now switch to a human and build the stacks of bricks behind the door -- which will form a box with a gun on it.
  • 8 of 16: You still need to look around to finish finding all the parts you need.
  • 9 of 16: Look at the trash cans to the left of the door that C-3P0 just opened.  Shoot both of those, and you can build two more sets of pieces.
  • 10 of 16: And Obi-Wan can move those onto the sand with his Force.  Those will form the base of what you're trying to build.
  • 11 of 16: Now it's just a matter of moving all of the pieces together.
  • 12 of 16: There are two legs to the left of the base, so Force those over, then Force over the platform that was in between the legs.
  • 13 of 16: Now Force over the gun turret, and you'll have a working AT-ST.  But a Stormtrooper will hop in there before you can use it.
  • 14 of 16: That's okay.  Just hit the AT-ST a few times, and the Stormtrooper will have to jump out. 
  • 15 of 16: Or, if you'd prefer, Obi-Wan may also be able to use the Force to confuse the Stormtrooper into jumping out.  However, I found that you often have to get so close to the AT-ST that you risk getting stepped on.  Having Luke shoot with blasters from a distance was a little slower but also a little safer from my experience.
  • 16 of 16: Once the Stormtrooper is out, you can jump into the AT-ST, and then shoot out either of the fences on this screen.  (Use the same button for switching characters to get into the AT-ST -- consult your manual if you don't know which one that is by now.)
