SECRET PLANS
It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret battle plans for the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people, and restore freedom to the galaxy....

True Jedi at 28,000: For some reason, they decided to reduce the number of studs required for TCS compared to LSWII. You will find, however, that the amount of studs has decreased dramatically, still pretty simple, but with nowhere near as much leeway as originally.
You begin with Leia and Antilles, both are Blaster users, so don't get too excited. Run up and build the two piles of LEGOs here to open the door ahead. Run up to the levers here and flip it to cause your partner to come and flip the other one. Head through the open door and to the left. Some Stormies will bust through the door. Three waves will come through, so shoot them all so you can go on through. If you're having trouble, a Power-Up is sitting in the box on the right.
Head to the Grapple point and grapple up. Follow the walkway around and grapple again. Once you're up here, rebuild the two generators to get the bridge to extend across. Leading to the door on the other side.
Immediately upon entry, you'll see Darth Vader in the distance. You can't get close so don't try. Kill the Stormies then activate either one of the levers on either side to get a bomb to come down near Vader. Shoot it enough times so the smoke goes off, making Vader leave. Head left past the door and come out into another Hallway. Head on down and through the door at the end.
Your goal here is to push these blocks into the flashing red holes. Once that is done the door will open and you'll see 3PO at the end. Walk up to him to add him to the party and use the Protocol Panel. A short cutscene will play. So we have R2 now! But we've lost Leia. Head down and use the Astromech Panel, to enter the next area.
Our goal here is to save the Rebel on the other side. Hop in the crane and you can grab the Stormies with it. Drop them in the pit so the Rebel will flip the switch so you can get across. Don't follow. Let 3PO go across then pick him up with the crane and drop him at the far side, near the door. Now go across. Once you reach 3PO, use the Protocol Panel and head through the door.
Once you start, shoot the Stormies to free the Rebels. Take the Power-Up sitting inside the destructible wall directly to your left to help. Once that's done the door will be busted down and you'll have to fight more waves of enemies. Once that's all done you can head down the path. Build the short bridge so the Droids can get across, then continue down the hall. Head through the door to the right and build this other bridge. Once across you'll see three escape pods. Use the Astromech Panel on both the left and middle one to open them up. Both contain levers you need to pull to open the Protocol Panel for 3PO. However, the one in the middle contains some Beach Troopers for some reason. Once both levers are pulled. Use the Protocol Panel and head inside the escape pod. Use the Astromech Panel here to end the stage.
Average Stud Amount: 46,000-51,000
