Space Combat

Space Combat

New to LEGO Star Wars III, space battles are grand-scale affairs that put you in the pilot’s seat.

You have complete freedom of movement during space combat scenarios and can fly anywhere you like within the confines of the mission area. Don’t fly too far away though—you’ll be destroyed!

All ships share a few common abilities. Hold the Jump button while piloting any ship to boost, and double-tap the control sticks in any direction to perform a quick evasive roll. Hold the Attack button to unleash your ship’s weapons and obliterate enemy targets!

Landing Pads

Most space combat scenarios ask you to land at various sites to complete objectives on foot. Look for giant red crosses on the ground and fly up close, then press the Change Character button to land on these special landing pads. Do whatever needs to be done at the landing site to help you accomplish your mission, then return to your ship and lift off in search of the next objective.

Boost Rings

Some space battles feature boost rings—special devices that allow you to drastically change your altitude. Fly up close to such a ring and press the Change Character button to dock at it. Wait for the ring to power up, then press the Jump button to boost up to a higher or lower elevation and see what sort of damage you can do! Use another boost ring to return to the previous elevation.

Torpedoes

Many space battles require you to obtain and launch torpedoes in order to bring down large enemy vessels. Collect torpedoes by flying past a torpedo generator—a number of pink torpedoes will then trail your ship. Look for viable targets, which become marked by a pink reticle, then press the Action button to launch a torpedo and annihilate the target. Return to the generator for more torpedoes as needed.
