The bonus section contains three parts. The first part requires you to play through all chapters of Episode IV in less than one hour while collecting 100,000 studs.
The second part has you fighting your way through the mean streets of Mos Eisley spaceport in order to collect one million studs in under five minutes.
And the third part has you flying along the surface of the Death Star gathering one million studs in under five minutes. After you successfully complete each part, you get a gold brick added to your collection.
If you don’t complete a mission in the allotted time, you just have to play again until you do, if you want to earn that brick.
Super Story
The super story in this bonus chapter is nothing new.
You are simply running through the previous six missions: “Secret Plans,” “Through the Jundland Wastes,” “Mos Eisley Spaceport,” “Rescue the Princess,” “Death Star Escape,” and “Rebel Attack.”
The challenge this time is that you have to play through all six chapters consecutively while grabbing 100,000 studs in less than an hour. Since you’ve already played through these missions, you should have a good feel for them.
Don’t waste time in areas where you aren’t going to find many studs or that are way off the beaten path. As you move, be sure to hit the areas that have blue studs or many studs in a centralized location.
When you reach your stud goal, you can concentrate on getting through the levels quicker so you can finish in less than an hour.
The wall panels in the first chapter have a lot of quick-and-easy studs to collect
Character Bonus (Mos Eisley)
You start this adventure on the mean streets of Mos Eisley, where you have five minutes to collect one million LEGO studs.
This mission is played in a Freeplay mode style, so you can choose the main character you want to play and the game will pick the rest of your playable characters, all of whom will have different abilities.
Try to play this mission as a ghost character, who is impervious to blaster fire, but a Jedi will work just fine. The second character that comes in handy is the bounty hunter with his thermal detonator.
After you start the mission, if you don’t start in the center area quickly make your way there. Switch to your bounty hunter and toss a thermal detonator at the shiny equipment in the center of the area.
All of the shiny equipment has lots of valuable studs hidden underneath it, so always make destroying the equipment a top priority. Pick up the studs that scatter on the ground as well as the power up.
Blast all the gray containers you see on the street and any Stormtroopers who might come to investigate. Next shoot the containers along the left wall where you again find another power up.
Once the ground is stud free hit the containers on the right side for even more loot. Finally make your way back to the top of the area where you can use a thermal detonator on the shiny equipment that has respawned.
Once again grab the studs and the power up. COntinue this cycle until you reach your goal.
This center area has plenty of studs and two hidden power ups!
Minikit Bonus (Death Star)
You start this adventure buzzing along the surface of the Death Star. You have five minutes to collect one million LEGO studs.
This mission is played in a Freeplay mode style, so you choose the main vehicle you want to fly and the game will pick the rest of your playable vehicles for the mission.
It is a good idea to use the TIE interceptor on this level because of its speed and power. Many enemies are flying around with you; they will be constantly on your tail, so you need to be quick.
The Death Star is covered with lots of destructible objects that drop studs when destroyed. Just look for anything that has blue on it to know if you can break it.
Breakable items that drop many studs are blue wall and floor panels, radar dishes, and blue turret guns. You can also blast the TIE fighters chasing you around the area, but they only drop hearts.
Go after them when you get low on health.
Shooting the blue objects in the area will get you studs, but there is a better source. After you start the mission, fly to the right until you get to the purple bomb dispenser.
Loop around it three times to pick up three bombs that trail behind you. Fly south from the bomb dispenser to see a purple reticle on the large equipment.Use your bombs to destroy the equipment for a huge payday.
Fly to the north of the large equipment and blast the satellite dish you find to uncover studs and a power up. Continue to grab three bombs from the dispenser and return to the large equipment you just destroyed.
Use your bombs again to blast it apart for lots of valuables. Next, return to the north and hit that satellite dish for another power up to protect you.
As you fly back and forth be sure to continue to shoot everything in sight to get those studs. When you reach one million studs you are declared the winner.
Grab the power up, then use your bombs to destroy the large purple equipment.
If you lose all of your health, many of your studs will spill to the Death Star’s surface. Be sure to fly around the spot where your ship broke up so you can pick up your spilled goods and minimize your losses.
