HELP FOR PARENTS

LEGO® Star Wars®: The Video Game is designed to be suitable for players of all ages. If you’re a young player, you might find that your parents or other adults want to join in.

Though we’ve tried to make the game as easy as possible, even for older people — at some point they’re going to need help. We all know how impatient adults can be. So to save time explaining things to them, just ask them to read the following tips:

Jedi characters can use the Force to move or transform objects highlighted with a Force glow effect. Press and hold the Special key L (player 1) or H (player 2) to use this Special Ability.

All LEGO objects can be played with. If you get stuck, look for LEGO objects to help you out in some way.

Press the Jump key K (player 1) or G (player 2) to jump. Press it again in the air to execute a double-jump that leaps you over high obstacles or up to high ledges.

Press the Attack key J (player 1) or F (player 2) to attack.

You can tag certain characters to take control of them and use their Special Abilities. To do that, walk up to a friendly character and press the Tag key I (player 1) or T (player 2).

Sometimes you’ll need the abilities of a specific character to progress, so be ready to tag nearby characters if you can’t find a way forward.

When you first start the game in Dexter’s Diner, walk through the door marked “I” then through the door marked “1” to play the first scene from Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. All other scenes are locked at first.

Once you complete this first scene, you’ll be able to play in Episode II and Episode III as well — so even if you get stuck on one path, you’ll still find a way to progress further through a different Episode door.

A second player can join in the game at any time. Just press the assigned key for Player 2 Start (default: Tab). The new player will take control of a nearby friendly character. (Kids: this is a good way to help out your parents if they get into trouble.)

When you unlock Free Play Mode, you can switch between characters at will by using the Cycle Character Left and Cycle Character Right buttons. This is a unique feature of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game that isn’t in other games, and it’s a lot of fun!

All gamers can find more gameplay details and advanced techniques in the rest of this manual.

If you can just get them to pay attention to these simple concepts,

then even adults who’ve never played a game before will be able to share the LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game adventure!

INTRODUCTION

The ancient darkness of the Sith grows ever more powerful. Even the noble Jedi Order, guardians of peace and justice for so long, are threatened

by this deepening evil.

In LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, you can experience the whole epic story of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack

of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Scene by scene, the action sees you taking control of a wide variety

of characters fighting against the Sith threat: powerful Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Master Yoda; courageous droids

like R2-D2; the hapless Gungan Jar Jar Binks; Chewbacca the Wookiee, and others . . . .

And the world of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is full of secrets!

As you build your collection of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game characters, you’ll use their special powers to discover more and more

of the game. And as you collect more and more LEGO Studs, you’ll be able to acquire further playable characters — even the most fearsome of your dark side adversaries!

The fate of the galaxy is in your hands!

SETTING UP YOUR GAME

Once you load the game, you will be presented with six options. These are NEW GAME, LOAD GAME, CONTROLLER OPTIONS, VIDEO OPTIONS, OPTIONS and EXIT TO WINDOWS. If you would like to just get in there and play right away, highlight NEW GAME and press Enter. This will take you into the game with the default controls (see pages 2-3) and video options automatically selected.

Selecting LOAD GAME brings up a new screen showing six possible saved game slots. Select the game you want to load, Now all future saves will automatically use this slot until you either start a New Game or you disable Autosave in the Options menu.

CONTROLLER OPTIONS

To change the default control configuration for players 1 and 2, highlight CONTROL SETUP and press Enter. The current control configurations for players are displayed, with player 1 on the left and player 2 on the right.

To switch between player 1 and player 2 controls, press the right or left cursor key. Then use the up/down cursor keys to select the control you want to change, and press Enter. Now press the button you want to assign to that control.

To reset your controls to the defaults, press the F2 key at any time. Press Esc to save your changes and return to the game.
