LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints
Canisters
1 of 18: Most of these are available in Story mode, except where I specifically indicate that you need to be flying a particular vehicle.
2 of 18: 1) Once you get through the very first forcefield at the start of the level, turn immediately to your left. You should see a giant red and green lever/wheel come out of the surface as you approach.
3 of 18: Shoot at the green sides of the lever a few times, and a canister will slowly start to rise out of the surface near the wheel. Keep shooting until it's fully revealed, and then shoot the canister to release it and claim it.
4 of 18: 2) There's a TIE Fighter door just to the left of the last forcefield on the first screen.
5 of 18: Fly through that in Free Play mode, and then fire a torpedo at the purple target to release a canister.
6 of 18: 3) Still before you leave the first screen, turn to the right before you go through the last forcefield, and look along the right-side wall here.
7 of 18: There should be 3 or 4 blue destructible bricks along the wall. Shoot all of these out, and you'll be able to fly into a space in the wall and grab the canister.
8 of 18: 4) On the second screen, stay to the left side, where you will see a TIE Fighter door. One canister is just outside that door -- that is, it's available in Story mode.
9 of 18: You'll see another one of those red and green wheels. Shoot it as with canister #1 above, until you can shoot and claim this canister.
10 of 18: 5) Another canister is through that TIE Fighter door, available in Free Play mode only.
11 of 18: 6) There's another TIE Fighter door on the right half of this second screen, a little closer to the forcefield. One more canister is outside the door and available in Story mode.
12 of 18: Shoot out the blue bricks on the wall just to the right of the TIE Fighter door. The canister is in there.
13 of 18: 7) There is a canister behind that TIE Fighter door, and then behind its own little forcefield here.
14 of 18: 8) When you first get to the third screen -- that is, the one immediately before the canyon -- there will be another red-and-green lever, straight ahead before you start to turn to the right. Again, let the lever appear, and shoot the green sides until you can claim the canister.
15 of 18: 9) One more canister is available just *after* you remove the forcefield at the end of this screen.
16 of 18: Turn immediately to your left, and you will see some blue wall segments that you can shoot. Destroy these and fly to the left to get the canister -- you may not see the canister, but you'll get it when you fly into the space.
17 of 18: 10) The final canister is available after the canyon run, just before you destroy the Death Star.
18 of 18: Go to the back left side of the screen, where you will see another red and green lever. Keep shooting the green sides to make this canister appear.
