LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints

How do I open the set of double gates just across the stream?

  • 1 of 7: First, look at the grates on the floor in front of each of those gates.
  • 2 of 7: You may notice that the grates are each covering up a set of three buttons -- the kind that you'd stand on to open a door or gate.
  • 3 of 7: The controls to retract those grates are nearby.
  • 4 of 7: Look at the panel in between the two gates.  If you shoot it a few times, it will turn into bricks that will build a control panel for C-3P0.
  • 5 of 7: Build that control panel and have C-3P0 activate it to reveal the buttons.  Stand on any one of the buttons with any of your party members, and the rest will follow -- retracting the first set of gates.
  • 6 of 7: But as it turns out, there's another set of gates just beyond that -- one on the left that has four buttons on it, and one on the right with two buttons.
  • 7 of 7: Once you have the path cleared for all 6 characters, have any non-droid stand on any of the buttons on the left side -- and both gates will open.
