Yeah, I know, it's small...for now. ***************************************************************************** --- 2. Introduction --- Usually, movie-licensed games are worse than bad. They're awful; just horrendous. But, this game seems to be one of the very few movie-licensed games that manage to actually be GOOD. Featuring both an incredible 2D single-player mode and an addicting 3D multiplayer mode reminiscent of Rouge Squadron, Star Wars Episode III quickly became the most underestimated title on the DS due to screen shots before the game's release. Now it is hailed as one of the best DS games around. This is my first FAQ/Walkthrough ever, and I'm happy that it is of such a fantastic game. For Star Wars, this brings the saga to a closing superbly. ***************************************************************************** --- 3. Story --- For those who own the game, box, and booklet, you can simply look in the instruction booklet for the story synopsis. As for people who might have bought it used, I'll give a short explanation rather than quoting the manual. Basically, there's a raging war going on and the Republic is being crushed by the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus (AKA Count Dooku, for those not familiar with his Sith name). General Grievous, the cyborg leader of the Separatist droid army, has gone and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate. As the army flees with their hostage, a duo of Jedi Knights follow. That's right; Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. As you play through Anakin's story, you will witness him become twisted by the dark side and eventually become the menace of Darth Vader. As for Obi-Wan, he's duty is to take out General Grievous. But, once his task is finished and he decides to check back with Anakin, he will find that the Anakin he knew is no more... ***************************************************************************** --- 4.

Characters --- The instruction booklet gives descriptions of each character, but I give better ones. --Anakin Skywalker-- Everybody who's watched a Star Wars movie should know who this guy is. He was first "discovered" in Episode I by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Qui-Gon sensed a strong presence of the Force in Anakin, so he decided to take the child with him, promising the boy that he would become a Jedi and that he was indeed the Chosen One, the Jedi who would bring balance to the Force. (Boy, was he wrong!) After the Council rejected Qui-Gon's request to take Anakin as his apprentice, he asked his current apprentice, Obi-Wan, to teach him the ways of a Jedi, insisting that Obi-Wan was ready for "the trials." The Jedi Council once again refused to allow Anakin to be trained, for he was too old. But, after Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul, the Council reconsidered and allowed Obi-Wan to train Anakin. After many years of training, Anakin soon fell in love with Padm� Amidala. His fear for her safety after having reoccurring dreams of her dying in child birth eventually led to anger, and we all know where that leads to... --Obi-Wan Kenobi-- Yes, the legendary Obi-Wan Kenobi... BEFORE he got old. He's a young Master who is training Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, in the Jedi Arts. He's clever and quick, always able to think on his feet (he's also very wise in the later Episodes). What he doesn't know is that everything is about to go downhill when he realizes what Anakin's done behind his back. --Darth Tyranus-- For all you guys who don't know, this grey-haired Sith Lord is Count Dooku. As the manual says, "[He's] more than a challenge for any Jedi, be it Knight or Master." Darn right. He's also the guy that cut off Anakin's right arm. He got away at the end of Episode II, and now Obi-Wan and Anakin are hot on his tail. Don't like the guy? Beat him in the first duel and you'll more than happy to witness his demise. --Mace Windu-- A wise and agile Jedi, Mace Windu is actually (**SPOILERS**) Samuel L. Jackson. He's one of the highest Jedi in the Council and he's strong in the ways of the Force and stuff. Plus, he actually gets to fight in this one! Oh, by the way, he's lightsaber is purple. That means he's cooler than you. --General Grievous-- A strange cyborg with four arms and a bad cold is the leader of the Separatist Droid Army. He's trained in the Jedi art of lightsaber duels and can wield 4 at a time. Unfortunately, though, he only fights with 2 in this game. What? It's not that big of a deal. Stop crying. Oh yeah, he kills Jedi and proudly displays their lightsabers around his belt. Have fun. --Padm� Amidala-- Anakin's lover, Padm� is about ten years older than Anakin. Yeah. Anyway, she's currently pregnant with twins, and Anakin is the father. But, they are both secretly married, for romantic love is against the Jedi Order. (Jeez, Jedi Council, lighten up!) Anakin fears for her safety when he has nightmares of Padm� dying during childbirth. And so, Padm� quickly becomes entangled in what will eventually be the great downfall of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One. --Palpatine AKA (**OMGSPOLERS**) Darth Sidious-- Okay, if you didn't know this guy was Darth Sidious/The Emperor, you need to stop reading this right now and go sit in a corner and rethink your life. Anyway, Palpatine is nearing the end of his little scheme in Episode III. In case you haven't noticed, Palpatine's running the show, here. There are no real Separatists; Palpatine created them himself. He's the puppet master on both sides. This time around, he's decided to finally pull Anakin, who is close friends with Palpatine, to the Dark Side. At the right moment, he will reveal his true identity and declare himself Emperor... ***************************************************************************** --- 6. Pickups --- There are a couple of items throughout the game, from HP recovery to power boosts from Yoda. Here's a list and description of each: -- 6A. Single-player Pickups -- -Bacta Tank Looks Like: Three blue and orange capsules. Function: Recovers Health points. -Force Shadow Looks Like: A floating blue orb. Function: Recovers Force energy. -Yoda's Protection Looks Like: Yoda's face/head Function: Gives ONLY Obi-Wan a temporary shield to protect himself against all enemies, and a boost of Focus. -Palpatine's Order Looks Like: [INCOMPLETE] Function: Gives ONLY Anakin a temporary increase in strength to inflict more damage against all enemies, and a boost of Fury. -Extra Life Looks Like: Your character's face/head Function: Provides you with an extra life. -Customization Point Looks Like: A light green orb. Function: Your character must collect these in order to obtain Force powers at the end of a scene. There are 10 throughout each level, and they are all in the same exact spot each time you play (except when they are found within the remains of an enemy). -- 6B. Starship Pickups -- -Laser Looks Like: Red spikes. Function: Increases the damage that your lasers inflict on enemy ships temporarily. -Shield Looks Like: A green shield. Function: Fills your shielding to the maximum limit on both sides temporarily. If your ship does not have shielding, then it will not be able to utilize this. -Speed Looks Like: Two purple arrows pointing up. Function: Temporarily gives an extra boost to your ship and, at the same time, cools off your engine. -Missile Looks Like: A yellow missile pointing up. Function: Supplies you with maximum ammunition. It your ship does not support missile fire, then it will not be able to utilize this. -HP Looks Like: A blue plus sign (like this: +). Function: Restores some hit-points to your ship. ***************************************************************************** --- 7. Walkthrough --- A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... THERE WAS A WALKTHROUGH. Here it is. The big ol' walkthrough. Now, the main game consists of beat-em-up gameplay. Just hack and slash your way through, killing enemies, grabbing items and destroying scenery, and clearing areas. And THAT'S how I'll cover it. Each paragraph (actually, each wall of text separated by a line break) is a different area (except for Missions). An area is basically when your camera is fixed in one position and you can't move on until all the enemies on-screen are beaten. After that, arrows will usually point you in the next direction to continue and you'll keep doing that until you walk off-screen. I'm going to call that entire thing an area. Don't like it? Tough. Also in this guide, I will explain where exactly to find all 10 Customization Points in each level via breaking the limited interactive scenery or killing enemies. Finding all of them and getting good grades in Jedi Style and Speed can score you a big fat 100% on each level. (Though, for the Jedi Style and Speed points, playing through the level a few times is sometimes required for you to get better.) As for Special Missions, there are 5 (3 for each character's story, but 2 are the same). You fly a starship like you would in a Rouge Squadron game and you are either presented with the task of surviving obstacles to reach a destination, or to destroy all enemy ships. (Keep in mind that I will cover the game on the Jedi difficulty setting.) All right, let's get this monster started! -- 7A. Anakin Walkthrough -- Playing as Anakin, you will witness him become consumed by the dark side and transform into the caped villain who is featured in the original trilogy. Anakin's Jedi Style is based off aerial attacks, combos, Force powers, and Fury moves. Try to utilize these as much as possible with being repetitive to receive good results. ------------------------------------------------- 7Ai. Scene 1: "I have a bad feeling about this!" ------------------------------------------------- The first time you play, you'll be graced with John Williams' own score and the Star Wars scroll. Eventually, you'll reach a scene where Obi-Wan and Anakin do some talking, and Anakin decides to run ahead, being the ants-in-his-pants person he is. Then, in the words of Anakin himself, this is where the fun begins. Well, not quite. On your first playthrough, the game will briefly explain things as you go. But, that's what you have me for, right? ...Right? All-righty, let's begin. Move forward and a droid should come up to greet you... with a gun. Mash his head in however way you would like (though, for now, Force powers will inflict no damage). By the way, keep in mind that you can use the remains of droids (arms, legs, whatever) on others by using the Force to chuck it at 'em. Now, more droids should come in. Really, this little area shouldn't be too much for you to handle. You should get a CP (Customization Point) from a droid here. Bash the droids into the ground and then break both containers in the backdrop. Yes, they CAN be broken, and they will usually contain helpful items. Use this to your advantage in later levels. Anyway, the second container should drop a CP. Grab it and move on. Now, while you're moving, some droids will come in threes. Beat them like usual and continue off-screen. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 2] Yeah, I'm gonna do that a lot. Just to make sure you know how many CPs you're supposed to have, because after you walk into a new area, you can't go back and collect the ones you've missed. Okay, so now, the game's going to describe how to block laser blasts (if you're on the first playthrough). Follow its instructions and remember that pressing L JUST BEFORE the laser hits you will effectively ricochet it back to the enemy. Any longer and it'll simply bounce off. All right, move on and don't forget to break open the boxes (which, yes, are also breakable). Once you break open another large container in the backdrop, you should meet up with some droids who will come in tiny swarms. Beat them, and one should drop a CP. Keep moving, break the boxes and grab another CP. After those four boxes, a red droid should drop down to greet you. Teach him and his friends a lesson in surprise parties and blow that taco stand. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 4] Well looks like there are "droids up there." Where "up there" exactly is, I dunno. But Anakin's going to handle them, and you're going to help! Move forward and be educated about the ever present Force. Move on to your next lesson on Fury moves, which are very helpful. Now, you don't have to hold B all the time like the game instructs you to, you can simply press the picture when it lights up on the touch screen. But, whatever makes you happy, I guess. Do a zappy thing with your lightsaber entitled "Vader's Wrath" and watch your enemies get owned. Move on until some droids drop down to say hello. Slash 'em all cool-like. One should drop a CP. Yay! Beat them, move on, and then beat the ones who are blocking the way. Two generous ones should drop not one, but two CPs. Move on to exit the area only to find yourself... [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 7] ...In the same place. Move forward and beat the first droids that see you. One should drop a CP. Keep moving and more Rodger, Rodger droids will attempt to kill you. If you're good, they won't. One will drop a party favor for you, a CP. Move ahead and you'll find that more droids didn't get the message that Anakin is tearing the place up. Show 'em what you're made of and continue. Keep running and then Anakin will automatically jump off and out of the area. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 9] Grab the CP here (bringing to a total of 10) after Anakin gets angry because there wasn't a challenge. A big ol' droid will fly overhead, providing Anakin with his little challenge. Now, run forward and the droid will pass overhead. The strategy to beat him is simple. At first, it's going to fly overhead and drop four bombs. As it does this, try to sink an uppercut into it without getting hit as this is one of the only ways to bring it down at the moment. The other way to hit it is to slash it while it flies low after you've hit with an uppercut, but I suggest hitting it as it flies overhead. After 3 hits, it should transform into a walker form. The walker form simply walks back and forth and scans the ground with a long red laser. Don't let this overwhelm you, that'd just be stupid. Instead, jump into the air and deliver a blow to head. This will stop the laser briefly for you to run out of the way. Repeat this method 6 times and his head will explode and he'll collapse. Most likely, you'll get knocked down, but it's never altered my score or anything. Obi-Wan will come to greet you, thus ending the Scene. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 10] You will now be presented with the Mission Points screen. This tallies up your performance and will appear at the end of each scene (excluding Duels). You should have obtained all 10 CPs, but most likely, you won't have 100%. You'll have to play through another time and be quick, agile, and stylish (Jedi stylish, actually; that means no ribbons) to receive a better grade. Press A to advance to the next screen, the Force Upgrade screen. Here, you can use Customization Points you've collected to upgrade your Force moves. As far as I know, CPs are each worth 2 points. You should have 20 if you just started. I suggest either Choke, Absorb, or Rage, because I never found myself using Saber Throw all that much. Keep in mind that first getting the Force power costs 15 points, upgrading a power you already have costs 30 points, and upgrading a Force ability to the maximum (after upgrading twice) costs 60 points. Choose a Force power and continue. Finally, you will come upon the Upgrade Stats screen. This screen is extremely important, for whatever is done here can never be reversed. The screen can also never be accessed again on the same level. Upgrade stamina if you find yourself having a difficult time enduring fights, upgrade Strength if you fight with your lightsaber most or if you want to beat enemies quickly, for this shortens the process, or upgrade your Intuition if you use Force powers most and you find yourself using up a lot quickly. Keep in mind that you will only be able to select between two each time you upgrade. I don't know which one's they'll be and I don't know if it's random, but whatever stays, stays. Forever. Don't invest all into one category and remember to choose wisely. Your progress will be saved and you will be brought to the Mission Select screen. Choose the next mission and continue. I WILL NOT GO OVER THESE ENDING INSTRUCTIONS AGAIN, SO REMEMBER THEM AND DON'T BOTHER ME ABOUT IT. Sheesh. ------------------------------------------------- 7Aii. Scene 2: "These aren't the droids you're looking for." ------------------------------------------------- Looks like they sense Count Dooku. Remember him from Episode II? Well, you will soon. First, you will have to beat this stage. As I said, they sense Count Dooku. Well, really Anakin does, but Obi-Wan senses a trap. Who's right? You'll soon find out! When you start, some droids will already start to approach you. Do what you do best and break their circuits. Don't forget about the containers in the back, as well. Break the first for a CP. Keep moving to find two more containers and some eager droids. Smash 'em as they come and move on. Now, you'll find a new type of droid. A big, hulky, blue one who shoots lasers from his wrist. These guys will just keep staying a far distance from you and ram you with lasers. If you get too close, they'll punch you, stunning you briefly. They're a little tougher, especially in swarms, but you can easily take care of them by knocking them down with a Force push and then downward- stabbing them or just slashing away at them. Either way, knock its upper body off and jump over the laser on the floor to continue. Another will appear eventually as well as some Rodger droids. More will appear after you beat them. Give them the same treatment and move on. Break the first container you see for a CP. Jump over the blue laser ahead and don't forget to break open the box near it, providing you with another CP. Jump yet ANOTHER laser and get on the move again. Some red Rodger droids will come in. Beat 'em up and more blue bots will show up. Endure them and move on. Anakin will exclaim that he's found the exit and will leave the area. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 3] Oh, this is new! You'll now be in a more different part of the spaceship. A little change never hurt anyone ('cept for the droids), right? Remember that now you can break open pipes on the walls for items. Thrash around a bit here to get an idea of which pipes I'm talking about. Move on to the thinner walking space to be assaulted by droids. After a few, one will drop a CP. Keep going to reach a wider area. Break a wall at the far right side for a CP and then take care of the droids. Move father still and prepare to do some serious laser jumping, dude. After that, run ahead and beat the new, yellow droids. Now, about the new droids. These are actually yellow Rodger, Rodger droids that actually say "Rodger, Rodger!" when they appear! Isn't that neat-o? These guys shoot single blue lasers that can briefly paralyze you. Don't let this happen, because you most likely will continue to get shot like this and will be forever stuck. Knock their little droid heads off. In the next little bit, one will drop a CP, and then some blue droids will drop in. Beat them and move ahead. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 6] the first wall you break here will contain a CP. Grab it and keep moving to have some droids of all colors come in. Move on after you beat them. You'll meet up with a droid on your way down the hallway, but the conversation will be brief, especially when the droid has a lightsaber through his chest. Eh, it happens to the best of us. You just deal. Now, break open the second wall you see with blocky paneling for a CP. Now, beat the droids that show up and move ahead. In the next big section, some droids will drop in, unknowing of the ownage that awaits them. Deliver that ownage. Once you beat them and move on, you'll find some droids who were a bit late down the hallway. Beat them down and keep moving. Jump the lasers and beat the droid in your way for a CP. You've now come upon yet ANOTHER elevator room. Beat the droids with your lightsaber. Break the far right wall for another CP, as well, and the completion of the stage. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 10] ------------------------------------------------- 7Aiii. Scene 3: "Fear is the path to the dark side." [DUEL WITH DARTH TYRANUS (COUNT DOOKU)] ------------------------------------------------- Ready for your first lightsaber duel? Well, if you're playing through the first time, the game will guide you. But I guide better. So, the Chancellor has been kidnapped and look who's standing there as the "culprit:" Count Dooku himself. Let's give a nice round of applause for Mr. Dooku. Okay, so this particular duel is a bit of a tag team thing. If Anakin takes a little too much damage, he'll switch out with Obi-Wan. Now, lightsaber duels are fast paced and really cool-looking, so here's some pointers. If the opponent is aiming high, like an uppercut or something, then block regularly (or with L + UP, but I never really found that to make a difference). The same block can be used for attacks to the middle. Blocking downward (by pressing L + DOWN) will block lower attacks. Finally, holding the R button will absorb Force attacks. You and Dooku will basically take turns. When he attacks you, block as much as you can. After he attacks, he'll be left open for your offensive maneuvers. You can use regular swordplay to wear him down and push him back, or you can use Force attacks to keep him from attacking for a little while. For Dooku, he will charge his attacks long enough for you to predict the attack and successfully block it. If he holds his lightsaber up high, prepare a low block. If he ducks down and charges, prepare to block high. If he simply holds back his saber, block as normal. When he hold back a fist that's glowing with blue energy, absorb it with R. After you've attacked him enough, he'll begin blocking your attacks. Stop attacking and then proceed to block his attacks. Follow this strategy until the game takes over so the scene afterward will make sense, which occurs around when Dooku has a tiny sliver of health left. Anakin will be forced by the Chancellor to kill Dooku, and Anakin will reluctantly do so. Thus begins his downward spiral into the dark side of the Force, subtle as it is. You should complete this level with 100%, just as you will with all other duels automatically. ------------------------------------------------- 7Aiv. Scene 4: "It's a trap!" ------------------------------------------------- So, Anakin starts feeling that caffeine in his system again and decides to run into the elevator when the ship shakes. You'll begin the first area in the elevator. Some battle droids will drop down. Do your thing and slash 'em up, elevator style. As you take them out, more will drop down. The standard battle droids shouldn't pose much of a threat, so take them out as they come. Eventually, two stun battle droids will drop down. You want to make these guys a priority when deciding who to hit first. They can slow you down a lot and leave you open for attack. After them, some more battle droids will drop down. More and more will drop each time the elevator shakes. Just endure this and don't let yourself get stopped by the stunning droids. Use Rage attacks when necessary. The elevator will eventually slow down to a stop. Walk to the door to exit the area. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 0] Okay, see those containers? Don't get too close to them. Simply step a bit close and then run, because a container will fall from above, blowing them all up. Grab the items left behind and be sure to grab the CP you should find in the second pair of pipes here. Continue forward to more containers. Now, you'll find a set of containers to the far right. A red battle droid will drop down behind them. Use Force Push to throw the canisters into the droid. A CP will be left from the containers. Also, two hulky green droids will walk in from the left. Knock them out and continue to your right. Don't touch the containers just yet. Walk a bit until a hulky green droid walks in. Walk behind some containers so the droid is positioned right in front of them. Have some fun with the Force and chuck the containers at him. A CP should be left behind by one of the containers. If that attack doesn't work, just hit him like usual. Another hulky droid will walk in. Do the same you did to the other and then hit him again some more like normal. Move about your business. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 3] Hit the second pipe for a CP and move on to see a familiar droid. You should recognize them from Episode 1. They're destroyer droids, and they roll in, activate a shield, and then shoot at you. Slice him and his buddy up and run into the next room. This room has an annoying camera/cannon in it. You can't beat it, so you'll just have to deal with it. Stay far away from it's aiming reticule and just focus on the droids. Trying jumping and using aerial attacks often to stay away from the cannon's fire. Also, hit the first pipe in the room for a CP. Move ahead and most likely you'll get hit upside the head with a falling container. This is where the "fun" begins. Run into the next room as fast as you can. Move around in place quickly as to not be hit by debris. Don't worry about the cannon, though, it's busy taking out the containers. A droid will drop down. Once again, use aerial attacks to avoid disagreements with the cannon or debris. Kill the next droid using the same tactics. After the cannon is done blowing up the containers, it will switch its lock to you, so run out of there. Be sure to not be hit by the two continuously falling containers. A destroyer droid will roll to add to the tension. Take the CP he left behind and keep going. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 6] You have one minute to escape. Run ahead and grab a CP you can find in the second blocky wall section. Dodge all the containers falling and bolt. Keep in mind that if you die on this part, you can replay and start right here. Grab the CP dropped by a destroyer droid when you kill it and run some more. You'll come to a wide area and another destroyer will roll in. Hit the first pipe on the wall for a CP and then take out the droid. Continue to yet another area identical to the one you just left. A third destroyer droid will pop up. Slice and dice. Hit the first pipe right after the big open door for a CP and then run to complete the stage. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 10] ------------------------------------------------- 7Av. MISSION 1: "To the Jedi Temple" ------------------------------------------------- After a little talk with the Chancellor, Anakin will become Palpatine's personal representative on the Jedi Council. He decides to fly to the Jedi Temple, despite him knowing the Council will not accept the request. So, that means you get a flying mission. Use your Jedi Starfighter to travel through Coruscant. The fog will make it unclear what's ahead, so be aware. You can boost through as much as you want, just remember to keep your engines from heating up too much. It's a fairly simple level, so simply fly through until you reach the Temple. It might take a few tries if you don't pay attention. If you're still dieing, try slowing down (B) or just not taking crazy shortcuts. Once you get to the Temple, some vulture droids will come flying in. Now you get some aerial combat. Keep your cross hairs within the three triangles of an enemy's lock-on to lock onto them. Fire missiles or just shoot; they'll both home in. Grab power-ups if you need them, but other than that, just take out anything that comes your way. After you've destroyed them all and read some dialogue, you will continue to the on-foot mission. -- 7Av*. Scene 5: "My loyalties lie with the Republic." -- You'll be greeted violently with a red destroyer droid. Do him in and take out the droids ahead grabbing their family heirloom: a CP. Run ahead to find two new things: a new droid and a floor-mounted cannon. You can either take out the cannon yourself or simply dodge it, for it blows up when you've cleared the section of droids. As for the droid, you've met up with an annoying, tall, red droid. These guys like to enter the room running, knocking down anyone in their path. They also like to pick you up. To release yourself from their grip, tap 'B' furiously. They fight with melee moves, so taking them out shouldn't be all the difficult unless there's a group. After you take out one, the second tall droid will drop a CP. Take out their battle droid friends as well and exit the area. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 2] Hit the two droids before they have a chance to speak. Move ahead to a narrow area to be greeted by a tall droid. Yay. Hit him and his buddy will run in. Grab their CP when you kill them and watch the cannon a-splode if it hasn't already. Move on to a path with fans and two destroyers. Wipe them out... all of them... and take their CP. Some back-up will charge in. Do what you do best then leave the area. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 4] Run to the area with the fans and quickly dodge the blasts from the cannon. Tall and red will run in to do a dance. Dance with him by using your lightsaber. As a form of thanks for dancing with you, he'll drop a CP. Ain't that nice? Run ahead to be assaulted by not one, not two, but three cannons. The second you get near them an try to take out the cannons, their owners will run in to promote the Preservation of Floor-Mounted Cannons fund-raising auction. Say you don't have time with your saber. Use aerial attacks to better dodge the cannons' fire. A lot of red tall droids will run in, so take them out as they come. Take a dropped CP and watch the cannons go BOOM. Run ahead and two tall red droids will literally run into you. Kill them. Now. And take their CP. Now. Then exit the area. Now--okay, I'll stop that. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 7] Run ahead and you'll see the following: droids and a cannon. You know what to do, and it doesn't concern the Chicken Dance. Grab a droid's CP after his cold, dead body disappears. Move along. Run and smash up the destroyer real nice. Take its CP and a tall red droid will run in. Run ahead and take out the battle droids. Near a ship, two destroyers, two tall and reds, and some battle droids will throw a surprise party for you. Smash 'em to bits and exit the area. [CUSTOMIZATION POINT TOTAL: 10] Oh, no, you're not done yet! It's time for everybody's favorite mini-boss: the droid battle tank! Basically, the big tank just sits there and occasionally fires blasts from a side gun in three consecutive shots. As Anakin says, you can't hit it with your lightsaber, so don't try. Two droids will pop up from either side of the tank. Don't try and kill these guys; they come back every time and are actually used for other purposes. Okay, so the tank will first shoot three laser shots. Reflect these back to the tank with the 'L' button. After three hits, the gun will explode and the tank will move forward, exposing a machine gun turret. (You can also reflect the lasers from the droids back at the tank for the same effect. If you don't blow up the gun within the three shots, then the cannon on top of the tank will shoot at you just like the cameras/cannons did in the previous level.) Once the machine gun is exposed, it will fire a hail of lasers at you. They're fast and cannot be reflected back, so you'll have to reflect the droid's lasers back to the tank. After two hits, the machine gun will explode. Your target now is the tank's huge cannon. Reflect the droids' lasers back to the cannon. After five hits, the cannon will explode and the droid operating the tank will pop up and shoot at you. Either reflect its own shots back to it or reflect the other droids' shots back, whatever you prefer. Either way, after four hits, the tank will finally explode. When you reach the Chancellor, he will reveal himself to Anakin as the Dark Lord of the Sith: Darth Sidious. Anakin wants to turn the Chancellor over to the Council, but it turns out that if they destroy Palaptine then Anakin won't be able to save Padm�. And we all know that's bull, but Anakin isn't sure. So, he just runs away (he's taken classes in conflict resolution). ------------------------------------------------- 7Avi.

Obi-Wan Walkthrough -- [OBI-WAN WALKTHROUGH CURRENTLY INCOMPLETE] ***************************************************************************** --- 8. Enemies & Mini-Bosses --- A lot of the basic enemies are droids, with Jedi's and Clone Troopers in the mix as well. I've listed them all with their weaknesses, strategies, and locations. Remember that if a certain enemies comes in a different color, that simply means that they're more difficult. If they have special attributes, than I will be sure to list them. [CURRENTLY INCOMPLETE] ***************************************************************************** --- 9. Force Combos, Fury, and Focus Attacks --- Here's a list of all the Force, Fury, and Focus moves you can obtain and upgrade in the game, and what they do. (See? I do care.) By the way, just in case you hadn't figured it out, the Fury/Focus bar is beside you character's picture in the top left corner, the HP bar is the orange bar, and the Force Energy bar is the light blue one. Also, for Fury/Focus attacks, you can simply press the picture on the touch screen when it lights up if you don't want to remember button combos. -- 9A. Force Combos -- These attacks are performed by different R button combinations. They use up your Force bar, but that can be replenished by getting blue orbs. Force attacks can really help if you're being surrounded or constantly attacked by a far-away foe. They especially help when you don't have enough Fury/Focus. They also are needed to defeat a mini-boss at one point. Keep in mind that all of these powers can be upgraded with Customization Points. --ANAKIN FORCE COMBOS-- -Saber Throw Combo: R + B Function: Anakin will throw his lightsaber at foes. -Absorb Combo: R + UP Function: Anakin will absorb enemies' health and convert it to Fury points. -Pull Combo: R + [desired direction] Function: Anakin pulls enemies toward him. You can then slash them or perform a second Force attack. Keep in mind that this move will inflict no damage unless it is upgraded. -Push Combo: R + [desired direction] Function: Anakin pushes enemies away from him. This move won't inflict any damage unless upgraded. -Rage Combo: R + A Function: Anakin will increase the amount of damage inflicted on enemies for a short period of time. -Choke Combo: R + DOWN Function: Anakin will choke humans and break the circuits in droids. --OBI-WAN FORCE COMBOS-- -Speed Combo: R + A Function: Obi-Wan will slow time, causing enemies to move slower. -Heal Combo: R + B Function: Obi-Wan will gradually recover HP. This drains your Force bar quickly. -Pull Combo: R + [desired direction] Function: Obi-Wan pulls enemies toward him. You can then slash them or perform a second Force attack. Keep in mind that this move will inflict no damage unless it is upgraded. -Push Combo: R + [desired direction] Function: Obi-Wan pushes enemies away from him. This move won't inflict any damage unless upgraded. -Shield Combo: R + UP Function: Obi-Wan will create a temporary shield for protection. -Mind Trick Combo: R + DOWN Function: Obi-Wan can utilize the legendary Jedi Mind Trick to stun enemies briefly. -- 9B. Fury Attacks -- These attacks can only be unlocked and performed by Anakin, no matter what your dog tells you. The way Anakin boosts his Fury bar is by attacking enemies. Nice and simple. -Vader's Wrath How to Unlock: You begin with this Fury attack.

Lightsaber Duels (AKA Bosses) --- [INCOMPLETE] ***************************************************************************** --- 11. Multiplayer --- Multiplayer is basically the 3-D flight missions from the main game, but now they're in a much larger playing map and they're dogfights. Easily one of the best parts of the game, this multiplayer plays like Rouge Squadron and can be enjoyed with friends or with bots, whichever your social skills agree with. A description of each mode: --MULTI-CARD PLAY AND FIND-- Yup, this game is Multi-Card play. Yeah, it's cruel, but at least you can coax your friends into getting it when they see how awesome it is! I have yet to play this mode, so I cannot give a detailed description as of yet. --SKIRMISH-- In this mode, you can play against up to 3 bots (AI opponents). You can set teams, change your ship's skin (black X-Wing, anybody?), and play against legendary and new Star Wars characters such as Luke Skywalker and General Grievous in their signature ships. Have fun by yourself! -- 11A. Maps -- -City 1 This map has the usual fog you will find on most of the stages within the atmosphere. It's a good stage and has lots of buildings to weave through. One-on-one chases can get confusing here, though. -City 2 This one's very similar to City 1, but this one has a larger area in the center that's clear of buildings. It does include buildings everywhere else, though. -Space 1 This area is basically a giant asteroid field. While the asteroids aren't all that big, fights can get pretty intense here. The stage is pretty big. -Space 2 This one is my personal favorite. It has two wrecked Star Destroyers that you can fly into, which is great if you want to confuse your opponent, because maneuvering in there is a bit difficult. Besides that, it has a bunch of asteroids and is a very nice sized area. I've unlocked most of my ships here. -Space 3 This is an interesting one. It features the asteroids and all, but this time it has a functional Star Destroyer. Well, only its turrets work. You can take them out or lead your opponent into their line of fire, whatever you prefer. -Space 4 An abandoned war zone, basically. There's chunks of ships everywhere, as well as a defeated one that's just floating there. And, yes, you can fly into the crashed one. -Tatooine This desert planet was the home of Anakin and Luke Skywalker. There are lots of rocks you can use to lure enemies into suicides. Just watch out for yourself, as well. -Hoth The tundra battlefront, this area was first introduced in Episode V. Complete with fallen Imperial Walkers, this map is a nice little stage. The snow also makes it difficult to see. -- 11B. Ships -- Here's a list of all the ships and their stats. If you see that a ship is locked, check the Unlockables section to see how to unlock it. -Jedi Starfighter II SPEED: *****----- HULL: *****----- LASER: ****------ SHIELD: ****------ TORPEDO: ****------ -Millennium Falcon [LOCKED] SPEED: *********- HULL: *********- LASER: ********-- SHIELD: ********** TORPEDO: ********-- -Obi Jedi Starfighter II [LOCKED] SPEED: *****----- HULL: *****----- LASER: ******---- SHIELD: ****------ TORPEDO: ****------ -Slave I [LOCKED] SPEED: ******---- HULL: ********-- LASER: *******--- SHIELD: ---------- TORPEDO: *******--- -TIE Fighter Advanced [LOCKED] SPEED: ********-- HULL: ****------ LASER: *******--- SHIELD: ****------ TORPEDO: ---------- -TIE Fighter SPEED: ******---- HULL: **-------- LASER: ****------ SHIELD: ---------- TORPEDO: ---------- -Droid Tri-Fighter SPEED: *******--- HULL: *--------- LASER: ******---- SHIELD: ---------- TORPEDO: *--------- -V Wing: Clone Fighter SPEED: ****------ HULL: ******---- LASER: *******--- SHIELD: ****------ TORPEDO: ---------- -X-Wing [LOCKED] SPEED: *******--- HULL: ********-- LASER: ********-- SHIELD: *******--- TORPEDO: ******---- -Geonosian Starfighter SPEED: *****----- HULL: ***------- LASER: ******---- SHIELD: ---------- TORPEDO: ---------- -General Grievous' Ship [LOCKED] SPEED: *******--- HULL: *****----- LASER: *****----- SHIELD: *****----- TORPEDO: *********- -Utapau Starfighter SPEED: ****------ HULL: ***------- LASER: ****------ SHIELD: *--------- TORPEDO: ---------- -Ani Fighter [LOCKED] SPEED: ****------ HULL: ****------ LASER: *******--- SHIELD: ***------- TORPEDO: ***------- -Ani Jedi Starfighter II [LOCKED] SPEED: ******---- HULL: *****----- LASER: *******--- SHIELD: ******---- TORPEDO: *****----- -ARC 170: Clone Starfighter SPEED: ******---- HULL: *******--- LASER: ****------ SHIELD: ****------ TORPEDO: ****------ -Vulture Droid SPEED: ******---- HULL: **-------- LASER: *******--- SHIELD: ---------- TORPEDO: ***------- -Jedi Starfighter SPEED: ***------- HULL: ****------ LASER: ****------ SHIELD: **-------- TORPEDO: ---------- -- 11C. Character Dogfights -- You can unlock all the ships listed above as [LOCKED] by beating their owner in a one-on-one dogfight. ***************************************************************************** --- 12. Unlockables --- While there isn't a huge amount, this game has a good number of unlockables. Here they are: -- 12A. Single-player Unlockables -- --Get Plo Koon's Round and/or Knight's Slam-- Defeat Darth Tyranus as either Anakin or Obi-Wan. --Get Tyranus' Uppercut-- Defeat Mace Windu. --Get Yoda's Teaching-- Defeat General Grievous. --Get Sidious' Hate-- Defeat Cin Drallig. --Get Jedi's Devotion-- Defeat General Grievous' Bodyguards. --Unlock Master Difficulty-- Complete a character's story to play as them with the Master (Hard) difficulty. --Play Special Missions Separately-- Complete an entire stage containing a Special Mission to be able to access it on the Main Menu through the Special Missions option. You will now be able to play only the 3-D ship level of your choice. -- 12B. Multiplayer Unlockables -- --Unlock Locked Ships-- Set the bots to a specific Star Wars character and play against them in a one-on-one dogfight. You can't alter the conditions, but you can select the map of your choice. Defeat them in the dogfight to unlock their respective ship. ***************************************************************************** --- 13. FAQ --- --GAMEPLAY QUESTIONS-- Q: How do I beat the big yellow tank?! A: I see this question a lot on the boards and I've been e-mailed about it, too. If you're just too lazy to check the walkthrough, here's the strategies for Anakin and Obi-Wan: -Anakin: Basically, the big tank just sits there and occasionally fires blasts from a side gun in three consecutive shots. As Anakin says, you can't hit it with your lightsaber, so don't try. Two droids will pop up from either side of the tank. Don't try and kill these guys; they come back every time and are actually used for other purposes. Okay, so the tank will first shoot three laser shots. Reflect these back to the tank with the 'L' button. After three hits, the gun will explode and the tank will move forward, exposing a machine gun turret. (You can also reflect the lasers from the droids back at the tank for the same effect. If you don't blow up the gun within the three shots, then the cannon on top of the tank will shoot at you just like the cameras/cannons did in the previous level.) Once the machine gun is exposed, it will fire a hail of lasers at you. They're fast and cannot be reflected back, so you'll have to reflect the droid's lasers back to the tank. After two hits, the machine gun will explode. Your target now is the tank's huge cannon. Reflect the droids' lasers back to the cannon. After five hits, the cannon will explode and the droid operating the tank will pop up and shoot at you. Either reflect its own shots back to it or reflect the other droids' shots back, whatever you prefer. Either way, after four hits, the tank will finally explode. -Obi-Wan: After deflecting the red lasers and taking out the first cannon, take out some of the tall droids that grab you and toss their remains at the cannon with force push. This should damage it. Keep doing this until it 'splodes. Use this method to beat anything that comes outta that cannon. --STORYLINE QUESTIONS-- None yet. ***************************************************************************** --- 14.
