Last update: 11 April 2022
On this page of the LEGO Skywalker Saga game guide, you can find the first part of the walkthrough for Episode 4 (A New Hope). The following walkthrough focuses on the Boarding Party level. You will learn, among others, how to solve the puzzle with electricity, what to build with bricks - laser or water cannon, and how to get to the escape pod as C-3PO and R2-D2.
Note - The walkthrough assumes you're playing through episode 4 in Story Mode. It doesn't include secrets or collectibles described on separate pages of the guide. We suggest completing the Story Mode of every episode first before replaying them in Free Play.
Boarding Party - challenges
This level features 3 challenges:
- Sometimes I Amaze Myself - You have to defeat the enemy using the explosive canister. This is a very easy challenge. While completing the stage, you may notice red canisters on the walls (an example is shown in the picture above). You can find the first such objects at the beginning of the stage, after you encounter the first Stormtroopers. Hit one of the canisters when enemies are nearby.
- I Suggest a New Strategy - You have to defeat a Stormtrooper using his own weapon. You can get the challenge at the end of the mission by controlling C-3PO. You will come across a control panel that allows you to remotely control a turret - we have included this part in the walkthrough.
- Vacuumed Up! - You have to throw Stormtroopers into space. The opportunity to complete this challenge will appear after reaching the fork that allows you to choose what to build. You have to build the object on the right - a water cannon (picture above). Thanks to this, you will reach the terminal that allows you to open the airlock and throw enemies into space. This choice is discussed in more detail in the walkthrough.
Boarding Party - Leia and Antilles
In the case of Episode 4, you will immediately start its first level. You can control any character, both of them have the same abilities. You must get out of the ship with Death Star blueprints.
Soon after you start crossing the ship, you will encounter Stormtroopers for the first time. During this and some of the following fights, you will be able to use covers. You can stay behind the "starting" cover or reach the walls marked with blue stripes (you cannot hide behind each wall). Shooting from behind covers reduces the risk of getting hit. Aim directly at the Stormtroopers or at the red canisters on the walls. Enemies will try to rebuild their own covers. We recommend shooting straight at them to end the battle faster.
During this and subsequent fights, Stormtroopers can throw grenades. You can eliminate them before they throw the explosives. If you don't make it, run away from the area marked with red stripes, where the grenade will explode.
The battle will end with the arrival of Darth Vader. However, you will continue immediately in a new place.
The heroes are standing next to locked doors. Use the upper hook shown in the picture above. This will reveal a small target that you have to hit with the blaster.
Expect to encounter more Stormtroopers.
Continue following the path. At some point, your character will drop to a lower level after the floor collapses. You reach an area with electricity where you will have to solve a slightly more complicated puzzle.
Use the first character to grab the left hook (picture above). This will reveal a handle that you can jump to.
Switch to the second character, avoid the hole in the floor and reach the door with the terminal shown in the picture. You have to interact with the terminal and solve a simple puzzle by pressing the buttons appearing on the screen. You'll unlock the door.
Continue along the corridor to reach the second hole in the floor. Jump into it and reach the area with electricity from the other side. You can grab the handle shown in the picture above. This will allow both heroes to move on.
Darth Vader will appear behind the glass wall, but you don't have to worry about fighting him. You will reach a place where the further passage will be blocked by flames from the damaged pipe.
Tear out a fragment of the right wall. At this point, you can start building by holding down the indicated button, but you can only build 1 object out of two possible - you have to choose the left or right direction.
The object on the left will be a Laser Turret. You can use it to destroy the damaged door and then shoot the Stormtroopers in the adjacent corridor. Choosing this option will also not lead to the opening of the airlock - you won't have to worry about being sucked into space.
The right object you can build is a Water Cannon. It can be used to extinguish the fire and unlock the corridor on the right. You will reach an interactive terminal with a puzzle of selecting symbols.
Completing the puzzle will open the airlock. You have to avoid being sucked into space - press the button presented on the screen. The airlock will close again after a while.
Regardless of the chosen turret, you can continue your journey through the ship. After reaching the new locked door, grab the 2 handles on the ceiling and then shoot at the exposed targets.
Deal with the Stormtroopers in the next room. You have to build a platform with a hologram here and then start pushing it.
The hologram platform needs to be pushed first to the left and then to the right. In both cases you have to use it as a springboard and jump to the upper ledges. There is a lever on each of them.
Pulling both levers will unlock the central door and allow you to continue your journey. Head towards R2-D2 visible in the distance.
Boarding Party - C-3PO and R2-D2
In the second part of the level, the playable characters will be C-3PO and R2-D2 - the objective is to reach the Escape Pod.
Follow the linear corridor and avoid contact with dangling cables. You will reach the fork shown in the picture above. Here you can choose one of the two possible paths (or check both if you wish).
The yellow terminal is reserved for C-3PO. You should first select the turret icon - take control of it and shoot the Stormtroopers in the control room. You can then select the alarm icon to unlock the left passage.
The blue terminal is reserved for R2-D2. This droid has its own unique mini-games where you have to rotate the rings (you can switch between them). Your task is to match the rings - the solution to this puzzle is presented in the picture. The first version of this mini-game is very easy, but expect to find more difficult puzzles with more rings and/or linked rings later in the game.
If you choose the R2-D2 path, you can additionally test sneaking around as droids. Other droids you encounter will not attack you unless provoked. Avoid the black droids by jumping over one of them. Also, avoid the hanging cables.
Go through the next corridors - you can watch funny scenes with Stormtroopers in the side rooms, but watching them and attacking the Stormtroopers is optional.
At the end of the corridor, you need to build a blue terminal for R2-D2. Then complete another ring mini-game. This will unlock access to the escape pod - the mission is over.
