Use Power Bricks in LEGO® Star Wars™: The Complete Saga

LEGO® Star Wars™: The Complete Saga is a video game based on the Star Wars movies by George Lucas and the Star Wars themed toy line by the LEGO Group. It is a combination of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and its sequel LEGO Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy. The game was announced on May 25, 2007 and released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and Nintendo DS.

One element of the game is the red Power Brick. Red Power Bricks unlock "extras," which can be purchased at the bar in the Cantina and activated in the main menu. There is one Power Brick hidden in each chapter for a total of 36 bricks. Each Power Brick unlocks a different extra in the Cantina. Some of them are very expensive, but they can make the game easier, harder or funnier.

If you're tired of always falling apart in LEGO® Star Wars™: The Complete Saga, here is a way to make it easier to play the game. Locating the Power Bricks can be a little tricky, but if you know where to go, you're halfway to your goal.

Using Extras

1. Purchase power bricks. Once unlocked, you can purchase the power brick at the bar in Mos Eisley Cantina. Some of them are VERY expensive as noted above.
2. Activate power bricks. Once purchased, the extras must be activated to take effect during your game. They are available under the Extras section of the Start Menu. Once activated, they will remain active until you deactivate them or until you exit the game.
   • Extras can be used in the cantina, story mode, free play, character bonus missions and mini kit bonus missions. Extras cannot be used in super story, LEGO City or bounty hunter challenges. Some extras can be used in character bonus missions or mini-kit bonus missions.

Tips

• Unlock the Power Brick by finding it in the game. There are Power Bricks in each of the levels. Each Power Brick unlocks a different extra.
• On the Escape From Hoth level, Chapter 2 in Episode V, if you activate the extras "Fertilizer, Stud Magnet, and Poo Money" you will be able to use the animals at the end of the level by the Falcon to "Poo Money". You can do this repeatedly, for as much money as you want, and it's an easy way to make studs especially if you have other things to do. To do it, press B on the 360, Z on the Wii, or O (circle) on the PS2. It will produce, randomly, an infinite amount of silver, gold, and blue studs. (It may be easier and faster to do this in a corner).
• Use a Power Brick Detector if you wish, but realize that this makes the game less fun and probably too easy. Just keep trying, and you'll eventually find them all!
• On Episode 6 Chapter 4 (Battle of Endor) When you get to the place where Stormtroopers come up grappling, use the extras Character Studs, Stud Magnets, and Disable Troopers. They're disabled so you keep beating them and get money.
• On Episode 1 chapter 4 (Mos Espa Pod Race) Just Keep Racing and you can get at least 60,000 studs per race if you collected the all studs. Play the challenge and collect all 10 pieces of blue kit. This will earn you at least 100,000. If you have any multipliers activate them before you enter the challenge.
• The greatest obstacle to collecting lots and lots of studs is losing studs every time you die, so one of the first things you should do if you want to collect lots and lots of studs is activate the Invincibility extra. See Episode IV, Chapter 5 above. The other thing you can do is to activate the score multiplying extras. The power bricks required to activate those extras are found in Episode IV, Chapter 6.
• After you have 60+ Gold Bricks, you will get you 100,000 studs every time you get another Gold Brick.
• On Episode IV Chapter 3 Mos Eisley Spaceport: Start the level and grab the Speeder and go straight to the first gate and jump up on the ledge and change to C3-PO or TC-14 and unlock the door below. Drive to a near a Jawa and kill him. Use the car to go to the door on the far right hand upper corner were you build the big robot (forgot the name sorry), and another Jawa should come out. Be sure to have super saber, the deflect one (lasers bounce off you), and stud magnet and kill the Jawa before he comes out of the room by jumping once and tapping x (for the 360 at least) and doing that repeatedly.
