Chapter 2: Escape from Echo Base

Han Solo and Princess Leia have just had a moment that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately that life won’t be very long if they don’t get out of Echo Base fast.

Imperial troops have overrun the Rebel forces on the planet’s surface and have destroyed the field generator.

With the force field out of commission, the Imperial forces are storming the base. It’s time to make a hasty retreat.

The room you start in is falling apart fast as chunks of the ceiling come crashing down. Scour the floor for studs to add to your stash, then head to the room’s right side. When you get close, LEGOs fall from the ceiling and block the door.

Assemble the loose pieces into a bomb, which blows up and destroys the door and gives you some studs. Smash the containers along the wall and collect the loot inside before you move through the doorway into the next room.

Follow the tunnel on the other side of the door and shoot the Imperial troops that rush toward you. The end of the tunnel is blocked, so assemble the loose LEGOs on the ground to make a heater.

Once your device is complete, shoot at it until it turns completely orange and melts the ice in the doorway behind it. Smash the heater and collect the loot that spills out before you move on to the next room.

This room looks like a cafeteria, with lots of tables for you to destroy. Pull the levers on the machine to the north for some hot brew before you collect all the studs on the ground. Get behind the heater along the right wall to collect a blue stud.

Then push the heater along the checkerboard pattern on the floor. The heater stops in front of the door, and thaws the ice around it so you can move on.

Push the heater in front of the door to melt the ice.

Follow the tunnel beyond the door as it heads up, and shoot the snowtroopers who come charging in on you. The tunnel comes to an intersection where a snowtrooper sitting in a mounted gun is waiting for you.

Let your natural dodging ability help you avoid getting blasted while you shoot the gun to destroy it and its gunner. When it’s out of commission, move to the intersection and collect the studs on the ground.

Assemble the loose LEGOs on the ground to put the mounted gun back together and blast the bars over the door behind you. Dismount from the weapon and drop any troops who heard the gun blast and rushed in to stop you.

The tunnel to the left is blocked with debris and the tunnel north has a door that only C-3PO can open, so move to the right. Blast the containers you find at the end of the tunnel and enter the room behind them.

Inside you find more containers to blast and more loot to collect. Put together the loose LEGOs along the north wall to complete a cart. It starts to follow the track around the room.

Jump on the cart as it moves, and from there, jump to a ledge on the north wall for some valuable studs.

Drop back to the floor, where you can catch a ride on the moving cart again. This time, jump to a ledge on the right wall to get a LEGO canister for your collection.

After you put the cart together, you can get to those hard-to-reach high places.

Now that the room has been cleared of goodies, move to the turnstile at the room’s center. Push on the green side to spin it and change the tracks on which the cart is moving.

After you change the tracks, the cart travels out the door you came in, continues down the tunnel past the mounted gun, and crashes into the debris blocking the far end of the tunnel.

Move through the doorway that was once blocked with debris. Hey, there’s C-3PO. He might come in handy. C-3PO joins your party. Shoot all the containers you find and grab the studs that spill to the floor.

Four floor switches need to be stepped on at the same time, but you only have three members in your party right now. Return to the tunnel and move toward the locked door with the picture of C-3PO on the activation panel.

After C-3PO unlocks the door, move inside to find a large checkerboard pattern on the floor and lots of guards. Move across the room, shooting the snowtroopers as you go. The room’s left side has two mounted guns pointed in your direction.

Shoot the equipment in the room’s center for a power up and blast the guns and the guards operating them to bits. Continue to shoot new guards as they enter the area to avoid taking damage.

Once the coast is clear, push the square boxes on the checkerboard pattern into the two square grates on both sides of the floor. This causes a fan in the ground between each set of grates to turn on and blast air upward.

With the fans working again, assemble the LEGOs in the room’s center to make a little cart and drive it next to one of the fans.

As you wait there, C-3PO will walk over the fan and be blasted into the air so he can land in the back of your cart.

Drive the cart to the ledge where you destroyed those mounted guns, and turn your vehicle so the back of the cart is facing the ledge. As soon as you exit the cart, C-3PO will step onto the ledge.

Those mounted guns are still in pieces, since you destroyed them, so put them back together. Shoot the bars covering the door in the wall and blast any soldiers that enter the area to stop you.

Destroy the gun again and collect more goodies. Use your droid to open the door. A door in the right wall can only be opened by R2-D2, so you’ll have to come back later. After the room is bare, go through the open door.

As you run through the next hallway, don’t step on the white grates on the ground. If you step on one, they will all drop and take you with them.

When you get to the end of the hall, some debris falls from the ceiling. Put the loose LEGOs together to form a bomb that detonates and opens the door for you.

In the next room, the path leads you to an intersection. The door to the north is locked. The path to the south is too steep to scale. So follow the path to the left as it loops around the room and stop when the trail turns north.

Five red floor switches are located on the steep downward path to the north. You need to roll over them on your way down. Roll over as many as you can to turn them green.

If you don’t activate all of them, return to the top of the steep path and roll over the ones you missed. When all five switches are green, the door to the north opens.

Roll over the red switches to turn them green.

In the next room, head to the south and collect all the studs you find, including a blue one. Just be careful that you don’t step over the ledge or you’ll fall to your doom.

Next, shoot all the containers in sight to collect even more hidden goods and reveal some red floor switches. Push the boxes in the room over two of the buttons and step on the other ones to open the door in the back wall.

Before you leave, use C-3PO to unlock the door in the left wall. Move inside and jump into the pink-lit alcoves on both sides of the room to collect some blue studs. Blast the containers you see and collect any additional studs on the ground.

The rest of the room is blocked for now, so return to the previous room and go through the door you opened by pressing the floor switches.

Move down the next hallway. You start to hear your old friend Chewbacca. A path leading off to the left is too steep to climb, so continue forward.

The door at the end opens and you see your buddy fighting off some Imperial troopers. Give him a hand and blast them to little bits before they start shooting at you.

Inside are the Millennium Falcon , a whole lot of guards, and two mounted guns. Grab a power up to the left of the door you came through and quickly blast your enemies to pieces before they can hurt you.

Once they are out of the way, pull the levers on the wall next to the door you came through. Some transparent blue doors along the wall nearby open up for you. Smash all the containers in the room and collect all the studs.

Reassemble the pieces near the Falcon to build the turret gun and blast the force field controls on both sides of the field to disable it. Collect all the studs that spill out.

Move into the alcoves behind each door to find two boxes that you can push across the room. Push each one into the black metal grates on the floor.

Another see-through blockade in front of you raises up. In the alcove beyond are two tauntauns. Jump on one and ride it to the Millennium Falcon .

Jump to the roof and assemble the loose pieces to fix the gun at the center of your ship, collect all the goodies there, then fall off the left side.

There, you can assemble more LEGOs to fix another part of the Millennium Falcon . As soon as the repairs are complete, run up the ramp on the left side to get out of there.
