Chapter 5: Cloud City Trap

Training with Yoda on Dagobah was going so well, it was a shame Luke had to leave. But he had a vision of his friends in trouble, so there was no way he could stay.

Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi are fearful of what might happen to Luke without the proper training. But if Luke survives his attempt to save his friends, he should be back to complete what he started.

A quick X-wing ride takes him to the landing pad of Cloud City. Jump to the top of your fighter and grab the blue stud, then collect the rest scattered about the landing pad.

Some stormtroopers on a ledge in the distance try to blast you, so use your lightsaber to deflect their shots back at them and knock them out.

When the guards are gone, have R2-D2 hover over to the ledge to collect the valuables on the ground and use the activation panel on the wall. This brings out part of a walkway to the right.

Fly R2 back to the landing pad and have Luke use the Force to turn part of his X-wing into another piece of the walkway. Jump across the walkways until you get to another ledge against the wall.

Assemble the LEGOs on the ground to make an activation panel for R2-D2 to use. This opens the door on the left. Before you enter, fly around the corner to the right until you get to a small ledge and a LEGO canister.

R2-D2’s ability to hover in the air sure does come in handy.

When you arrive in the next room, grab the power up on the left and use your weapon to chop apart all the stormtroopers that drop from the ceiling.

After the last one falls to pieces, collect all the studs on the ground, including a blue one in the back corner.

Have R2-D2 use the activation panel on the back wall to open the nearby door and reveal a box inside. Jump behind the box and push it along the checkerboard pattern on the floor.

When the box reaches the end of the pattern, it sinks into the floor to form a stand. Next, slash at the LEGOs on the back wall to the left of the door. Assemble the loose LEGOs that remain on the floor into a gun.

Now use the Force to move the gun over to the base you made. Jump into the gun’s controls and blast away the bars on the right wall.

Leave the gun and run down the hall that was behind those bars. Take out the stormtroopers that get in your way and grab the studs lying on the ground.

At the end of the hall, have R2 use the activation panel to open the door. Go inside. You are on a narrow walkway in a dark room. Follow the walkway to the right; you’ll see a helmet dispenser on the wall to the north.

Pass this up for now and continue to follow the trail to the right and down a flight of stairs to a circular platform. There you see Vader waiting for you.

Get your weapon ready and block Vader as he swings his lightsaber at you three times. After his attack, swing your lightsaber once to score a direct hit, but immediately go back to blocking.

After Vader tries to hit you again, you can swing your weapon to score another hit. After he suffers a couple of hits, Darth Vader leaps to one of the black steam vents on the ground.

When he does this, use R2 to access the activation panel at the bottom of the stairs to cause steam to come up through the vents. The steam disorients Vader for a moment, so have Luke rush in and take another swing at him.

The steam coming out of the vent will not only clear Vader’s pores but also disorient him long enough for Luke to take a swipe at him.

After that hit, Darth Vader is back to his usual self, so block his attacks and then take one swing at him before you go back to blocking.

After two successful hits, Vader jumps back to a steam vent where you can use R2 to blast the steam so you can attack again. Repeat this process until Darth Vader has had enough, flies across the room, and retreats out the door.

On his way out, Vader causes some LEGOs to fall around the circular platform. Put these pieces together to complete the crane on the south side of the platform. Jump into the crane’s controls and pick up R2.

Carry your friend over the abyss to the walkway against the far right wall and drop him. When he hits the ground, he moves to an activation panel on the wall and extends a walkway over the abyss for you to cross.

Before you cross over to the other side, go back up the stairs to the helmet dispenser. Pull the lever to have a stormtrooper helmet placed on your head. Return to the circular platform and double jump to the bridge that R2 extended for you.

Run up on the walkway along the wall and grab all the valuable studs you find. While wearing your stormtrooper mask, use the activation panel on the wall to open the door and run inside.

In the next area, you and Vader are on a narrow ledge high above the inner workings of Cloud City. On the wall nearby are some LEGOs. Use the Force on them to change them into a fan on the path ahead.

As you move forward, Darth Vader takes off to get out of your way. Use R2-D2 to continue down the path to the right where he can use the activation panel on the wall.

This activates a moving platform along the wall above you. Now have Luke jump on the fan on the ground and ride the currents into the air so you can reach the ledge above.

From this ledge you can jump on the moving platform that R2 activated. Ride it along the wall until you can jump to a ledge below you.

Step on the gray LEGO platform at the left side of the ledge to lower it so R2 can fly across and join you. Use the Force to move the fan in the center of the ledge so that the wind currents are pointing up.

Fly R2-D2 into the air to grab the hovering canister.

Now jump on the fan in the ledge and ride the currents to the ledge in the wall above. To the right is another gray platform and an activation panel that R2 can access. Activating the panel moves the gray platform up and down.

When the platform reaches its highest point, fly R2-D2 through the air to the left until he can get the LEGO canister floating in the air.

Return to the moving platform and ride it up to arrive at an even higher ledge. Grab the studs on the ground, then enter the open doorway.

Vader is waiting for you in the next room. Use the same fighting technique as you did before to get a few hits on him and send him retreating to a ledge high above the room.

After he flees, stormtroopers drop from the ceiling, so cut them down with your lightsaber before they blast you. After the stormtroopers are dead, use the Force to move the two blocks along the back wall and turn them into a ramp.

Roll R2-D2 up the ramp to the ledge with the activation panel. Access the panel. Steam shoots out of the vents that Vader is standing over on the ledge above you.

This causes him to jump down to your ledge, so fight him off using Luke’s lightsaber. After two hits, Vader retreats back to the ledge from which he just came.

Return to the main floor of the room and quickly assemble the LEGOs in the room’s center to create a turnstile. Move to the blue platform next to the right wall and assemble some more loose LEGOs to fix the machinery nearby.

After everything is put together, R2-D2 moves over to the blue platform. As soon as he does, push the green side of the turnstile around and around to raise the platform to the ledge above.

When R2 gets high enough, he uses the activation panel on the wall to release the steam under Vader. Once again, Vader comes down to fight you, so use your lightsaber skills to send him packing back up to the ledge above.

Vader should have less than half of his health at this point. Move R2 back up the ramp to activate the panel on the wall to fire off the steam again. Vader will come down again, so once again give him a beating to make him retreat.

Push on the red side of the turnstile to lower the blue platform you raised earlier. When it gets back to floor level, R2 jumps back on. Push the green side now to raise the platform to the ledge above, where R2 can use the activation panel again.

Once the steam is released, Vader drops back down for you to attack. After his health is gone, Vader makes a run for it through the door to the right, so follow him.

Push the green side of the turnstile to raise the blue platform or push the red side to lower it.

Follow the narrow walkway to a small platform in the middle of the room. On a ledge to the north you can see Vader and two stormtoopers. As soon as they see you, the troops open fire.

While the stormtroopers are still shooting at you, send R2-D2 flying through the air to the north toward the ledge with Darth Vader. Collect the studs on the ground, then use the activation panels on the walls.

This causes the platforms that the stormtroopers are standing on to close, defeating them instantly, as well as causing some debris to fall on the ground around you.

Send R2 across the room to shut out those stormtroopers.

Taking out his stormtroopers doesn’t make Vader very happy. He uses his powers of the Force to hurl the debris through the air at Luke. Fly back to the platform you came from and take control of Luke when nothing is being hurled at him.

As Vader sends in debris to hit you, use your own powers of the Force to send it right back. As soon as Vader takes a hit, he comes leaping over to your platform to fight you.

After you hit him, block his next attack. When he is done, use your double jump attack to send him retreating back to the ledge he came from.

The platforms those stormtroopers were standing on open back up and more enemies rise up through the floor to blast you. Send R2 back to the ledge to the north to access those activation panels on the walls again.

Once the platforms are closed and the stormtroopers are gone, Vader tries to send more junk at Luke, so fly back with R2 and take control of Luke. As the debris comes flying in, use the Force to send it right back at Vader.

This makes Vader angry. He jumps over to fight you again. After he takes two hits, he retreats back to the ledge he was on before.

This causes those platforms near Vader to open again with more stormtroopers. Send R2 back over and use the activation panels to shut them down again. When the platforms are closed, fly R2 back to the platform he came from.

Take control of Luke and use the Force to send any incoming garbage back at Vader. This time Vader goes crashing through the window behind him, leaving shards of glass in his wake.

Use the Force to turn the broken window into the platform nearby so you can cross to the window Vader just fell out and jump on through.

Don’t take any garbage from Vader! Send it right back in his face.

Unfortunately, Vader is waiting for you on the other side of the broken window, so have your weapon ready. Block his shots, then attack. After two hits, Vader retreats down the right side of the narrow walkway.

Collect the LEGO canister to the left, then use the Force on the LEGOs to the right to make a ramp. Run up the ramp and jump to the next ledge, where you get to fight Vader again.

Hit him twice to send him packing. While you’re on this ledge, send R2 flying to a small platform to the south where you find another LEGO canister.

After you get the canister, hover back to the ledge and fly to a platform to the right. Access the activation panel on the wall and jump on the brown platform to the left.

Ride it to the ledge above, where you can fight Vader again. Hit him twice, and he runs farther down the walkway. As you run after him, collect the studs and the LEGO canister on the path.

Run along the walkway to the right until you find Vader again. As you fight the Sith Lord, hit him four times to take away all of his health.

Collect the LEGO canister floating to the south of the ledge before you move on.
