Playable Characters: Luke Skywalker (Jedi), Lando (Palace Guard), Han Solo (Skiff), Chewbacca, Princess Leia (Slave), R2-D2, C-3PO
When you need something digested, and you only have 2,000 years to get it done, there's only one place to go -- the Great Pit of Carkoon on Tatooine. There, the mighty Sarlacc will get the job done in half the time. With his beloved pet rancor dead, the extremely cheesed-off Jabba has loaded up his prisoners onto a skiff and taken them out into the desert to toss them into the Sarlacc's gaping maw. Luke, however, has other plans, and after a hilarious opening cinema, he and his pals fight their way to freedom.
During the first part of the stage, you work your way across the skiffs, fighting off guards both on the skiffs and firing at you from Jabba's luxurious sail barge. As you work your way towards the sail barge, you'll have one last face-off against the dreaded Boba Fett (Boba Fett? Where?). Onboard the barge, you must battle your way through the interior and up to the top deck, where you can take control of Princess Leia in all of her blocky, metal bikini-clad glory. Find the main cannon on the top deck, and use it to blow the barge to pieces.
Chapter 3: Speeder Showdown
Playable Characters: Luke Skywalker (Endor), Princess Leia (Endor)
From Tatooine, the action jumps to the forest moon of Endor where you control Luke and Leia during their high-speed chase with a group of scout troopers. This level switches between on-foot segments and vehicle portions where you ride Imperial speeder bikes through the dense forest.
The ultimate goal of this chapter is to bring down a shield that is blocking your way to the Imperial garrison set up on the planet. To do that, you must take out a few mini-shield generators and wipe out a whole lot of speeder bikes. During each of the vehicle segments, you race through a looping track full of downed logs, ramps and laser turrets. There are a set number of scout troopers that you must take out before switching back to an on-foot segment. Here, you'll have to dodge Imperial troops and hijack an AT-ST in order to destroy the generators. Then, it's back to racing.
Once the shield is down, you can proceed further into the level. We won't spoil what happens when you reach the garrison, but it's one of the coolest and most surprising segments of the game.
Chapter 4: The Battle of Endor
Playable Characters: Han Solo (Endor), Princess Leia (Endor), Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, Wicket
This chapter's title might make you think that you'll be fighting the space battle over Endor, but this stage is all about the ground battle. Han, Leia, Chewie and the droids are joined by that lovable little Ewok, Wicket, as they make their way through the puzzle-filled Ewok village down to the ground below. Now, you have to get the gang to the Imperial shield generator that is projecting a protective barrier around the new Death Star that hangs in orbit over the forest moon. Unfortunately, an army of Imperial troops and AT-STs stand between you and victory. Once you get inside the generator, things don't get any easier. There's a relatively involved puzzle sequence to complete before blowing the thing sky high.
