Luke Skywalker bravely turns himself over to the Empire to get a meeting with Darth Vader. Luke believes there is still good in his father, and is willing to try to convince him to change his ways.
Vader is adamant about what side of the Force he is on and he escorts Luke to his master, Emperor Palpatine. If Luke thought Vader was bad, he gets a rude awakening with Palpatine, who shocks him with evil electrical Force.
Unfortunately for the Emperor, that was just the trigger Vader needed to find his true self, Anakin Skywalker, within. Vader valiantly jumps into the path of the electrical attack waves hitting his son to try to save Luke.
After the mission starts, the Emperor charges in to take both father and son. Jump at your attacker and hit him with your lightsaber to cause him to lose one of his hearts of health.
He flies back across the room, but comes charging right back in again. Fly at him again and slice him with your weapon. Repeat this until you take away four of his hearts.
That’s when the Emperor tries a new trick and sends the electrical currents at you. When the currents surround your body, quickly switch over to Darth Vader, who is standing close by.
While the Emperor is still distracted by dealing with Luke, you can jump at Palpatine and hit him with your lightsaber. After the fifth hit, Palpatine goes flying across the room and runs to another area.
When the Emperor blasts you with electrical energy, switch over to your other playable character so you can keep up your attack.
Before you go chasing after Palpatine, run to the back of the throne room. Using the dark side of the Force, turn on the red lights on the wall, on both sides of the throne.
After you switch on the eighth light, a red power brick appears on the Emperor’s actual throne. Jump on the seat and add that red power brick to your collection.
Run to the room’s left side and use the Force to turn some floor panels into a large step. Jump to the top of the step you created, and from there, into the small alcove in the wall to collect a LEGO canister.
Jump on the large step you created at the side of the room to get those canisters.
Move to the stairs to the south of the throne room. On either side of the stairs are some tables with lots of blue lights. Smash each table and collect the studs and a power up that spill out.
Collect the rest of the goodies and then fight off any Imperial guards that rush in to put you down. When the upper throne room is treasure-free, head down the stairs to the area’s lower level.
On the bottom level, run underneath the upper throne room and gather all valuables on the ground, including the blue studs. Smash the pillars that are down there for more loot.
Explore the rest of the lower throne room and smash all the equipment you see. Collect the studs that litter the ground.
Run to the room’s left side and use the dark side of the Force to break the grate in the wall. Assemble the little pieces that fall to the floor into a red fan. Assemble a pile of gray LEGOs on the right.
After you have built them, use the Force to put the two pieces together to create a large fan on the ground. A path leads from the south of the throne room, but skip that area for now.
Jump on the fan so you can ride the breeze it creates into the air and over to a narrow walkway against the left wall.
Follow the trail of studs along the walkway until you get to a platform over the next room. Across the way, the Emperor is electrifying the five rows of floor panels to prevent you from crossing.
The good news is that he can’t cover the whole floor at once. Some panels constantly flicker with electrical energy, some flicker in and out, and some never become electrified at all.
Run to the back wall and jump to the two panels that are closest to the wall in the second row—they are safe.
Wait for the current to stop flowing to the rest of the second row, then run to the other end and jump on the first panel in the third row. That one is a safe panel because it never becomes electrified.
Step on the first panel in the fourth row next to find another safe spot. Wait for the electricity in the floor panels to die out again and then follow the safe panels all the way to the left.
Jump only to the unelectrified gray floor panels so you don’t get electrocuted.
You finally reach the Emperor again, so let him have it with your lightsaber. When he tries to blast you with energy, switch to your partner to continue the attack.
Keep hitting Palpatine until he takes enough damage and flies across the room to escape his fate.
When the area is secure and floor panels are safe to walk across, smash all the equipment to find hidden treasure. Then head to the room’s right side.
Run along the back wall and, as you do so, quickly use the dark side of the Force to turn off each of the red lights.
If you are quick enough and turn off all 10 lights at once, some loose LEGOs appear on the narrow walkway you crossed earlier. Assemble them to create an activation panel for a bounty hunter.
Run to the south and drop from the upper walkway down to the room below. Smash the equipment lying around the room, then pick up any loose studs that you see.
Assemble some loose LEGOs on the room’s right side to create an activation panel that only a bounty hunter can use. Use the dark side of the Force to pull a metal grate off the wall, then assemble the pieces that fall out.
This creates a large step on the ground. There’s nothing you can do with it now, so move through the open doorway in the north wall and collect the studs on the ground.
When you get to the back room, you see many green lights on the floor. Collect all the studs in the room before leaving.
Exit through the same door you entered and follow the walkway to the south. This takes you to a circular platform in the center of the building.
Run around the pillar in the center of the circular platform and use the Force on the lights to uncover hidden goods. Smash some gray wall panels to reveal two small rooms.
One has a LEGO canister and the other, a stormtrooper activation panel. After you collect everything, follow the walkway around until you see the room where Palpatine waits for you.
When you get to the next room, the Emperor tries to blast you with his electrical attacks. Use the same switching-characters technique to get an uncontested hit on him. After taking a couple of hits, he flies to a walkway high above the room.
Before you go after him, collect the valuable blue studs around the room, then smash all the equipment for even more goodies. Smash the blinking wall panels on the right wall to find some more studs and a small travel chute.
Now move to the room’s left side and assemble the LEGOs on the ground to fix the elevator on the wall. Jump on the elevator and use the Force on the controls. Your partner does the same, and together you rise into the air.
When you get to the walkway above, jump off and slash at Emperor Palpatine, who has been waiting for you. He doesn’t like getting hurt and flies to the right side of the room.
Use the Force to move the elevator to the upper walkway.
Smash all the containers you find on the walkway and grab what spills out, including a power up. Then, use the Force on the lights on the back wall to find even more hidden treasure.
Double jump across the gap in the walkway on the right to get to the Emperor on the other side of the room. As soon as you land, jump at Palpatine and whack him with your weapon.
If you hit him, he flies away in fear to the room below. Use the Force again on the lights on the wall to find some hidden goods, and smash the containers you find.
Drop to the room below, where you fight a barely alive Palpatine some more. Switch characters when you start to get shocked and then cut him down.
After suffering a few hits, the Emperor retreats to the circular walkway in the center of the building. With one more direct hit, the Emperor is all out of health and his evil rule comes to an end.
Double jump to the walkway on the right to fight the Emperor some more.
