LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints

Canisters

  • 1 of 19: 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 19: 1 -- Also in Story) This one is available the start of the level, where you can use a crane.
  • 3 of 19: 2 -- Also in Story) In the control room just after that crane.
  • 4 of 19: Turn to your right as you're entering, and there's a door that only C-3P0 can open.  The canister is in there.
  • 5 of 19: 3) In the hallway after leaving that control room, you'll see a doorway straight ahead a bit in the distance -- too far for any of the normal characters to reach in Story mode.
  • 6 of 19: But if you switch to R2-D2, you can float across and get to a new section.  A double-jump may also work for you.  Look immediately to your left for one more canister.  (This canister was visible in Story mode on the other side of a forcefield.)
  • 7 of 19: 4) In this same section, look far to your right.
  • 8 of 19: There is a platform with a grappling circle that R2-D2 can float over to.  Switch to any character with a blaster to get up there, where you'll find an access hatch.
  • 9 of 19: Any small character can go through the access hatch, and reach the canister on the other side -- above the hallway back where you started.
  • 10 of 19: 5) Continue down this path, and you will reach a circular platform with energy beams.  On the right side of the platform is a disabled grappling circle.
  • 11 of 19: 6) Once you're past that platform, look to your right, and you should see several platforms against the far wall, next to some red lights.
  • 12 of 19: Double-jump onto those two platforms, and you will get another canister from the top platform.
  • 13 of 19: 7) Go back to where the path split early on in the level, and continue along the Story mode path.  Look when you're jumping around the edges of a tall cylindrical room.
  • 14 of 19: You will see a canister high up to the right of the exit door.
  • 15 of 19: Grapple your way up to the topmost platform on the left side of the door.  Floating as R2-D2 takes you to the platform on the right, where you can get the canister.
  • 16 of 19: 8 -- Also in Story) Once you're in the next room -- the control room -- destroy the monitors above each of the stations.  A canister will appear when all the monitors have been destroyed.
  • 17 of 19: 9) Continue past that room, until you're in another room with several elevators, and you will find the canister in plain sight, but locked up in a crate on the far side.
  • 18 of 19: 10) At the very end of the hallway just past where you find Leia are several doors that require R2-D2 to open.
  • 19 of 19: Open the one of these on the left -- before freeing Leia -- to find the final canister.
