Use Old Save is an extra from LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. It is not available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation Portable versions due to LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game not being released on those platforms; on the other hand, the prequel characters are unlocked in different methods depending on both versions.
Effect[]
What this extra does is add characters from the prequel trilogy that you unlocked in your LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game save file to the character grid in Free Play. However, it doesn't unlock R2-D2, C-3PO, Yoda, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, Gonk Droid, The Emperor or Rebel Trooper as they are already in the game and needs to be unlocked. You also cannot see or control any old save characters roaming around in Mos Eisley Cantina (except in the PSP version where you can use them in the hub) and you can only use 1 or 2 characters at a time when selecting them manually in Free Play when 2 Players are activated. The AI would never put them in your team even when they're the only options for their own special abilities, the only exception to this is The Battle of Endor level with a Clone.
The extra also adds minikit vehicles from the prequel trilogy that you built in your LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game save file to the grid of minikit vehicles in Minikit Bonuses. Unlike characters, the AI includes them in your team, probably because the game is programmed to choose all the minikit vehicles at once.
Power Brick Locations[]
- LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy: This extra can be purchased at the beginning of the game.
Price[]
- In LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, it costs 250,000 studs.
Trivia[]
- The fact that Yoda is the extra icon may be a reference to Yoda being the save icon for LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game.
- Similar to Extra Toggle, if the player deactivates the extra while playing as a prequel character, they will be able to continue using it until they change characters.
- This is the only extra in LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy on console/PC to not appear in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
- With the exception of Wookiee, none of the blaster characters with the extra are capable of using melee attacks, although some of them were given melee attacks in The Complete Saga.
- If there is no save file found for the first LEGO Star Wars game, the game will display a message saying "Locked: Save not found".
