LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints

How do I get past Darth Vader in the next room?

  • 1 of 7: You can imagine that a character as strong as he is, isn't going to be deterred by a little blaster fire.
  • 2 of 7: And you can't get close to him -- he'll push you back with the Force -- much less get past him to proceed onto the next room until you figure out his weakness.
  • 3 of 7: Take a look at the switches on either side of the room (two each on both the left and right-side walls).
  • 4 of 7: If you pull either pair of switches, you'll force some kind of crate to come out from the wall closer to Vader.
  • 5 of 7: And if you try shooting that crate, you should notice that it starts to light up.
  • 6 of 7: Hit it enough times (4 or 5) and it will explode.  This should cause Vader to flee to the next room, and you can now walk out through the door on the back wall.
  • 7 of 7: If you're having a hard time hitting it, the game may be auto-aiming for you either at Vader or at the Stormtroopers that sometimes surround him.  You might try moving your character a bit -- or just keep shooting and take out the Stormtroopers first so they're not between you and the crate.  You'll hit the target with a few tries.
