The bonus section for Episode V contains three parts. The first part requires you to play through all the chapters of Episode V in less than one hour while collecting 100,000 studs.
The second part has you fighting through the dangerous landing pads and walkways of Cloud City to collect one million studs in less than five minutes.
And the third part has you flying along the white snowfields of Hoth in search of one million studs in less than five minutes.
After you successfully complete each part of this bonus section, you get a gold brick for your collection. If you don’t complete a mission in the allotted time, you just have to play again until you are successful.
Super Story
The super story in this bonus chapter is just like the super story for Episode IV.
Here you have to run through the previous six missions: “Hoth Battle,” “Escape from Echo Base,” “ Falcon Flight,” “Dagobah,” “Cloud City Trap,” and “Betrayal over Bespin.”
You must play thorough all six chapters consecutively while grabbing 100,000 studs in less than an hour. You have already played through these missions, so you should know them pretty well and know what areas have studs.
Don’t waste time in areas where you aren’t going to find many studs or that are way off the beaten path and might cause you to waste precious time.
As you move, be sure to hit the areas that have the 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
Cloud City has many wall panels hiding studs.
You start this adventure on the dangerous landing pads of Bespin, where you have only 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 have different abilities.
Try to use a bounty hunter and a ghost character for this mission. Bounty hunters have thermal detonators that you can use to destroy any shiny equipment you find. The ghost of Obi-Wan will be useful to get you out of danger.
The landing pads around Bespin are connected by a system of walkways. Sometimes these walkways are not extended. If this is the case, find a red switch on the ground near the side of the landing pad.
Step on the switch and the walkway in front of you will extend and connect to the next pad.
But by using Boba Fett, you don’t always need the walkways to get from landing pad to pad; you can just fly across the gaps. Not extending all the walkways prevents your enemies from chasing you.
After you start the mission, head south while blasting all the gray fence pieces around you because they are loaded with studs.
When you are as far south as you can go, look for large blue boxes around the landing pads and blast them open to spill a large number of studs on the ground. The very best items to destroy, though, are the pieces of shiny metal equipment.
Use your thermal detonator to blast that equipment to bits to find valuable purple and blue studs as well as power ups.
Stay in this area, moving back and forth, destroying everything in sight and collecting everything that litters the ground.
When your power up starts to wear off, quickly blast some equipment and grab a new one. Keep moving along these landing pads, collecting studs until you reach the one million mark.
Use your bounty hunter’s thermal detonators to destroy the shiny metal equipment for some power ups
You start this last part of the bonus chapter by flying over the icy lands of Hoth. 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 vehicle you want to fly, and the game will pick the rest of your playable vehicles, which you can use at any time during the mission.
The vehicle you will use most on this mission is the snowspeeder because of its useful tow cable. As you skim across the planet’s snowy surface, many TIE fighters, AT-AT walkers, and AT-ST walkers are out to get you.
Luckily, the snowspeeder has just the right amount of quickness and maneuverability to get you through this mission alive.
The mission takes place on a large circular ice field on Hoth, with a large mountain in the field’s center. Hoth might be a frozen planet, but the land is covered in green trees.
As you buzz around the area, fire your guns at the greenery and studs will litter the ground for you to pick up.
Hidden among the green trees are some shiny metal ones that can’t be destroyed with your blasters, so fly on past them. If you start to get low on health, destroy enemy vehicles. They often drop hearts.
While the trees are a good source of studs, they are not the best source. On one side of the ice field is a purple bomb dispenser.
Fly past the bomb dispenser a few times to pick up three bombs, then fly around the circular field to the opposite side of the area until you find the piece of equipment with the pinkish reticle on it.
Fire your bomb at the reticle, and the equipment shatters, spilling valuable purple and blue studs to the snow below. Fly in quickly to pick up the loot before it disappears.
It doesn’t take long for the equipment to respawn, so you can fire more bombs at it and collect more studs.
As you fly around the snow, you’ll also see large white barricades scattered about. These barricades hold many valuable purple and blue studs, but blasters have no effect on them.
Luckily, a rolling bomb dispenser is on the side of the center mountain. Fly your snowspeeder in close to the dispenser and grab the round bomb with your tow cable.
As you drag the bomb behind you, shoot all the trees that might be in your way. When you get to a barricade, release the tow cable to send your bomb rolling toward your target.
After the barricade is destroyed, fly among the debris and grab all the good loot. Continue to destroy the barricades and the purple targets until you reach one million studs and are declared the winner.
Fire your purple bombs at the purple reticle on some nearby equipment.
