LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints

I'm on top of the base now. How do I bring down the shields?

  • 1 of 10: You'll see the four towers that control the Death Star's shield generator in the background, being guarded by an AT-AT.  Each of those towers is also protected by a globe-shaped forcefield, as if the AT-AT wasn't protection enough.
  • 2 of 10: As hard as it may be to believe at first, that AT-AT isn't nearly so threatening as it might look at first.
  • 3 of 10: If anything, I'd worry more about the Stormtroopers that are grappling themselves up to the roof to stop you.  Notice that there are grappling hooks along the railing at the front of the screen.
  • 4 of 10: Shoot them out if you'd like to stop the Stormtroopers from getting up here.  This step is completely optional, and the AT-AT will eventually do the damage on its own, but you'll probably find that you'll get things done more easily if you're not being attacked from all different directions.
  • 5 of 10: Once things are a bit more peaceful, you should be able to reach 4 blue switches here on the roof -- two on either side.  Pull these switches, and the small forcefield globes surrounding the  towers will come down.
  • 6 of 10: After you've turned off all four of those forcefield globes, it's your chance to destroy the actual big shield generator itself.
  • 7 of 10: You may have noticed several valuable studs on the back side of the roof, near the middle.  They're on top of a white platform kind of shaped like a diamond.
  • 8 of 10: When you land on this platform, you'll be propelled up to the AT-AT and will suddenly be in control.  No shooting it until the Stormtrooper inside gives up or anything -- you're just in control.  So go ahead and do some damage.
  • 9 of 10: Walk around and shoot until you've destroyed all four dishes for the shield generator.  You may find that if you're too close to one of the platforms, you won't be able to quite get the right angle to shoot it.  I found that it sometimes helped to walk the AT-AT around in a full circle and then try the dish again in the next pass.
  • 10 of 10: Once all four of the dishes have been destroyed, two switches will reveal themselves near the center of the roof.  Hop back off the AT-AT and go to pull those switches.  The level ends as soon as you do that.
