Jedi

Jedy is an ability exclusive to the Lego Star Wars sub-series. It is based on the Jedi characters in the Star Wars film series. Jedi were an order of knights that use a mystical power called the Force to defend the Old Republic from their ancient enemies, the Sith. After the fall of the Republic, the Jedi were purged from the galaxy by the Empire. The few surviving Jedi went into hiding from the Empire. Luke Skywalker, a new Jedi trained by the surviving Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, defeated the empire and reestablished the Jedi Order.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Jedi can wield lightsabers, use the Force on any glowing force object excluding dark side objects, and double-jump.

In games after the first Lego Star Wars, they can also build objects and ride vehicles.

Lightsabers[edit | edit source]

Lightsabers are a melee weapon that can be used to strike enemies within close range. It is the only weapon that can take down a droideka's shield besides the droideka's own blaster fire.

Jumping and then using the lightsaber will cause the Jedi to perform an unblockable lunge attack towards a nearby enemy.

Double jumping and then using the lightsaber will cause the Jedi to perform a slam attack that causes unblockable damage to every enemy around the area that the Jedi landed. This attack will also take down a droideka's shield in one hit.

Blaster bolts can be deflected by lightsabers by holding down the attack button. A blaster bolt can be perfectly deflected back at the enemy that fired it if the block is initiated when the blaster bolt would have hit the Jedi.

The Force[edit | edit source]

The Force is typically used to move or rebuild objects through telekinesis. Objects that can be interacted with in this way display colored sparkles and a colored aura when focused on. The color of these sparkles and aura will match the color of the Jedi's lightsaber. If sparkles are encountered that do not match the Jedi's lightsaber color and instead display as red, that object is instead a dark side object that can only be interacted through Sith abilities.

Jedi can also use the force on other characters and enemies that display a glowing aura. This will either let the Jedi to Force push the character or perform a Jedi mind trick.

Force pushing an enemy will push it away from the Jedi. If the enemy has only one hit point, it will be destroyed at the end of the push. If the enemy has more than one hit point, it will instead become immobile for a short time. In The Complete Saga, an enemy can be Force pushed through other enemies to instantly destroy the other enemies.

Jedi mind tricks will cause enemies to become confused and unable to move or attack for a short time.

In Lego Star Wars III, Super Battle Droids can be picked up with the Force, causing them to rapidly fire their blasters at any object or enemy the Jedi points them towards. This can be used to destroy gold Lego objects.

Double Jump[edit | edit source]

Jedi characters can jump twice as high as a normal character by pressing jump again while they are in the air. In the first Lego Star Wars and in the prequel levels from The Complete Saga, they had the second highest jump behind Super Jump characters. Otherwise, they can jump higher than any other characters in their games.
