Episode VI
RETURN OF THE JEDI
Chapter 2
THE GREAT PIT OF CARKOON
Work continues on the new Death Star, and the future of the galaxy appears increasingly bleak. On Tatooine, Luke Skywalker is in the grip of Jabba the Hutt, along with Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia.
Jabba takes his prisoners across the Tatooine dunes to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where he plans to feed them to the fearsome Sarlacc beast.
But, even with back-up from Boba Fett, Jabba has severely underestimated the powers of a Jedi....

True Jedi at 50,000: In this level, the studs love to fall off the side of the Sail Barge. There are a lot of little small things that can be destroyed here so have fun hoping that they won't just up and fall off on you. Keeping studs is a challenge too, lots of enemies at this level.
Starting with Lando and Luke, flip the levers on the other end of this small barge, bringing out a bridge to the next one. Han and Chewie join us here. Force the bricks at the other end into two levers, and flip them as done before. Another bridge will extend to the next barge. On this barge, we are attacked by Boba Fett. He has 4 hearts here, but he's fought in the same way, either shoot him with Han, Lando, or Chewie or deflect his shots back with Luke. Upon Boba's defeat, the next barge will move into place, allowing you to Jump to it. Defeat the Skiff Guards, and Force the bricks in the Sail Barge itself at the other end into a platform. Use this platform to access the main Sail Barge. Head to the end here and you'll see a lever, flip it to bring one platform out. We need to find two more to make it across. The second lever is hidden behind a large flap, about halfway along, Force the flap out of the way to reach it. The third lever involves a little more work. Force the leftmost flap into position, and use it to Jump to the higher level with the pushing ground. Push the block to the lower level and build the Grapple Point, Grapple up and run along the top here to reach the last lever. Go across the now open platforms to reach the end of the Sail Barge. Force the two coverings on either side of the grate to reveal the colours inside, and open the pushing mechanism. What you need to do is match the right side with the left side. The top one is already in place, use the Force on the middle one and the pushing mechanism on the bottom one. Once the colours match up with the left side, the grate will open.
Once inside the Sail Barge, destroy either the left or right bombs to reveal pieces. Build them into a man-able gun and use it to bust down the poles. Once past the poles, R2 and 3PO join us. Head to the back left and build the pieces into a Protocol Panel. It's not active yet so destroy the bombs on the left for some power pieces, then force the bits on the right side to create a generator. Force the power pieces on top to power the Protocol Panel. Use it to make the platform in the middle of the room rise. Ride it up.
Head into the Disco area. Force the bricks on the left into a DJ Table. Build the pieces in the back left into a speaker. Force the pieces on the right wall into a disco ball. Grapple up at the Grapple Point and push the block down. Build the pieces left behind into another speaker. Use the Grapple Point again and build the pieces closest to the screen. Then, Force the Disco Ball into place. Once this is done, the floor will open up. You need to hit the white buttons on the floor (your partner will hit the other one) until every spot has been lit green. Once done, the door will open at the end, head on through, and through the door at the end of this area.
We now have Leia! This area is annoying as Gamorrean Guards and Skiff Guards will constantly spawn. Destroy the Blue grate at the upper left here to reveal a block. Push it along the path. On the other side of this encased target, there's another pushable path with a block, push this into place too. This will destroy the cage. But there's another one straight up from here. Switch to 3PO and use the Protocol Panel sitting conveniently on it. Build the pieces to the right of here so we can start getting the rest of the cast to the second level. Head down and destroy the two blocks sitting above a grate. With Luke, slam into the grate to go into the underground system, follow the path, and jump up into this small area underneath the upper level. Flip the lever to open the door, then destroy the wall to your right, push this block along the path to set it into place, and then use the force on it to finish the path. Take Luke and Force the ladders sitting in the middle of this upper level. On the left and right side of the Sail Barge, you'll find more ladders trapped by bricks. Destroy them to release the ladders, then Force both left and right sides into place respectively. Once this is done, Force the completed ladders into place to reach the highest area.
Don't worry, everyone will come up here no matter what. Use the Astromech Panel to give the gun some ammo, then shoot at the moving targets that were released in the last area. Take out both Targets to finish the stage.
