Story[]
At the Great Pit of Carkoon, as the Skiff Guards plan to sacrifice Luke to feed the Sarlacc Pit, R2-D2 throws Luke's lightsaber at him. Luke grabs his lightsaber, frees Han and Lando, and then they fight the Skiff Guards. They then fight Boba Fett on the skiffs, but instead of defeating him, they simply send him flying to the top of the barge. C-3PO and R2-D2 help the trio onto the barge, while the droids go to the ship's deck. There, they ask Jabba to free Leia. This works and they climb to the top of the barge. There, the droids escape, while Luke teams up with Leia to defeat Boba Fett once and for all. Upon doing so, Boba loses control of his jetpack and falls into the Sarlacc, swallowing him, while the Sail Barge is destroyed. Luke and Leia then use a grappling hook to escape.
Walkthrough[]
At the beginning of the level, you will see a cutscene where R2-D2 will throw the lightsaber at Luke. When the scene ends, you will appear in a Desert Skiff. The scene will have your characters automatically eliminate two Skiff Guards, while you will have to eliminate the other three. After defeating all the Skiff Guards on the skiff, build a turret in the middle, pull a lever on the left side, and use a bridge to jump to the other skiff. There, defeat three Skiff Guards and you will have to face Boba Fett, who has eight hearts. Build another turret in the middle of the skiff and hop on it, or hop on the turret you built on the other skiff. Aim at Boba Fett and shoot him to remove hearts little by little until you spend them. Note that he can use his missiles to destroy your turret, in which case you will have to rebuild it. After spending all eight hearts on Boba, he will lose control of his jetpack, destroy the bridge of the second skiff (regardless of whether you pulled the lever on the second skiff or not), and go to the top of the Sail Barge. Return to the first skiff, build a platform, and use Luke's Force on two pieces to build floating platforms. Next, jump across the platforms you built to reach the Sail Barge and then move on to the next area.
In the next area, you will be with C-3PO and R2-D2 at the bottom of the Sail Barge, with a large pit. Go right, use R2 to hover over the pit, and hack an astromech panel to extend a bridge for 3PO to cross. Then, switch to 3PO and wait for the platforms to work in your favor so you can cross. Then, switch to R2 and hover over two gaps to step on two buttons. This will extend another bridge. Switch to 3PO, wait for the platform to rise, and cross it and the bridge to reach a protocol panel. Lastly, hack the protocol panel with 3PO to move on to the next area.
In the next area, you'll return to Luke, Han, and Lando. Use Luke's Force to lower a platform, stand on it and lift it up using the Force again to take Luke to the upper platforms. Han and Lando will reach the upper platforms via a grapple point. Jump to the platform on the right and use Luke's Force to raise two more platforms. Jump to another platform, use Han or Lando to reach the upper platforms, defeat two Skiff Guards on the left platform, and go down the platforms on the right. Then, pull a lever to raise more platforms for Luke, jump to a platform with a Skiff Guard you'll need to defeat, and use Luke's Force to raise another platform. Jump and cross platforms while defeating the Skiff Guards and use Han or Lando on a grapple point to reach a distant platform. There, pull a lever to raise a platform for Luke. Then, use Han or Lando on the grapple point on the right to reach the upper platforms. Next, defeat a Skiff Guard, jump to the platform below, and pull a lever to raise two platforms for Luke. Then, switch to Luke, use the Force on a platform to lift it, cross it, defeat a Skiff Guard, and then use the Force again to lift two more platforms. Go to the upper platforms with Han or Lando, defeat one more Skiff Guard, and pull a lever to free several last platforms. Jump on them and pull one last lever to extend a plank that will take you to the top of the Sail Barge, where you will pass to the next area.
In the next area, you'll return to C-3PO and R2-D2. Go to the right side to find Jabba along with Leia. Approach them so that Jabba allows Leia to join your team and deactivates the barriers on both sides. Go up the stairs and through the door to reach the final area of the level.
In the final area, you will once again face Boba Fett, who survived the jetpack malfunction you caused him. If your game version is 1.1, R2 and 3PO will be replaced by Luke. Hit Boba several times until you spend his fourteen hearts and play a scene (which can be very different depending on the version), ending the level.
Collectables[]
S means that the collectible can be obtained both in Story and in Free Play. F means the collectible can only be obtained in Free Play.
- Minikit Canisters
- (S) After defeating Boba Fett in his first phase, this minikit will appear on the right side of the first Desert Skiff. Build the first platform and then use a double jump character to reach it.
- (F) At the beginning of the second area, go left and you will see moving platforms. Calculate the right moment and cross them with a hover character. On the last platform, you will see a lever. Pull it to extend a bridge. Jump onto the bridge and cross it to reach this minikit.
- (F) At the starting point of the second area, go to one of the two doors behind you to reach a special area. There, you will see two Gamorrean Guards behind a barrier. There are two ways to get rid of them: the first is by using 4-LOM's or Leia Bounty Hunter's bombs, and the second is by using Darth Vader's Force Choke. By getting rid of the two Gamorrean Guards, the barrier will be deactivated and behind it you will find this minikit.
- (S) After using the second grapple point of the third area, jump to the platform on the left and defeat two Skiff Guards to find this minikit.
- (F) After using the third grapple point of the third area, you will find yourself on a platform with two grapple points. There, use a Jedi character to lower a platform. Then, use Boba Fett or Jango Fett to get there and jump to the platform on the left to find this minikit.
- (F) In the fourth area, go to one of the two doors behind you to reach a special area. There, use Gamorrean Guard to open the door on the left side and reach another special area. In that special area, defeat three enemies to deactivate the barrier with this minikit.
- (F) In the fourth area, use Darth Vader to lift Jabba's black platform (although it has blue sparklies). When you do this, you will see a hatch. Go in there with a small character to enter a small area with this minikit in the air. Jump towards it to reach it.
- (F) In the fourth area, on either side near the platform with Jabba, you will see two Rancor statues. Use Darth Vader on one of them to reveal a button. Step on it to reveal light panels. Step on them all and a barge inhabitant will stand on one of the panels. Step on the panel that turns off to get this minikit.
- (F) At the beginning of the final area, you will see a target. Shoot it with a character with blaster to reveal some pieces on top of the barge entrance. Go there with Boba Fett or Jango Fett, build a grapple point and use it to reach this minikit.
- (F) In the final area, you will see a black and red door on the left side. Use Darth Vader to turn it into an object and inside the small niche you will find this minikit.
Unlockables[]
After completing the level, you unlock Sarlacc Pit Han Solo. Lando Jabba's Palace is the minikit model for this level, although you already have it unlocked after completing Jabba's Palace. In Mos Eisley Cantina you will be able to continue to The Speeder Chase.
