LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints

How do I get over to that platform?

  • 1 of 6: There are several purple crates on the far left side of the platform that you're standing on now. 
  • 2 of 6: Destroy those, and you'll get the pieces to build a red-and-green lever.
  • 3 of 6: The lever lowers an elevator platform.  Turn the lever all the way, and you can then hover over the gap to stand on the elevator.  It will rise when you get there, and take you to the canister.
  • 4 of 6: There's also another way to get this in Free Play mode.  Notice the large chair that you can pick up with the Force in this same area.
  • 5 of 6: Hop in the chair when a Force-bearing character is the *other* character, and you'll be taken up to a nearby ledge.  Just jump off the chair to get there.
  • 6 of 6: Then, float over as R2-D2 to the platform with the canister.
