| Mission 1: Death Star Attack 1 · Destroy the deflection towers 2 · Fight off the TIEs 3 · Locate the exhaust port 4 · Blow up the Death Star 1 · The first part is very straightforward. As you start there will be a large tower ahead of you surrounded my smaller guns. Brake and fire lasers at it until it explodes. Repeat this on all the deflection towers to initiate the second section. 2 · Several squads of TIE Fighters will now enter the fray. Take them all down with your lasers (send your wingmen after them to get it done faster to complete this objective. 3 · Now you have the famous Death Star Trench run from Star Wars: A New Hope. Avoid the metal ‘bridges’ that cross the trench and take out some of the cannons on the way for some extra points when going for medals. If you see laser fire from behind you brake and some TIEs should fly past. Take ‘em down. When you hear Darth Vader say “The Force is strong with this one” watch out because Vader is behind you. Brake again and shoot him as he goes past. He’s invincible but he’ll leave after a few seconds. When Vader attacks with a couple of normal TIEs as back-up leave them and the Millennium Falcon will fly down and take them out. When this happens you’re all clear. |
4 · Bring up your targeting computer (hold Y) and fly until you get fairly close to the exhaust port (easy to see because it shows up yellow on the computer). When you get close enough to be able to hit it, line up your sights and turn off your targeting computer, then fire 2-3 proton torpedoes at it. If the cut-scene of the Death Star exploding starts congratulations! If it doesn’t happen fire torpedoes at the exhaust port again until it does blow up. Mission complete! Advanced shields tech upgrade: It is found in the second part of the mission (when you fight the TIE fighters). When that part starts, dive down and slightly to the left. The upgrade is on top of a building next to a tall turret. It is difficult to see, and you may have to search for a while. Mission 2: Ison Corridor Ambush 1 · Protect the transports 2 · Fight off the Interceptors 1 · As soon as the mission starts bring up the targeting computer to find some enemies. Send you wingmen after the TIEs and take them out as they attack the transports. When they’re all down another wave will attack so do the same again. If you fly into the Rebel Alliance symbol under the frigate you can change to a much faster but weaker A-Wing. |

| 2 · When you enter the nebula you won’t be able to see much due to the thick fog. This will make your targeting computer essential for taking out the TIE Interceptors. They are more powerful than the bog-standard TIE fighters so save your laser power and take them out with single, quick blasts. When they’re beaten the convoy can make the jump to hyperspace and their new base on Hoth. Advanced proton torpedo tech upgrade: At the beginning of the level is a large piece of floating debris ahead and below you, with a hole through it. The upgrade is inside. Mission 3: Battle of Hoth 1 · Protect the ion cannons from the AT-STs 2 · Take down the AT-ATs 3 · Protect the evacuating transports from TIE Bombers 1 · First thing to do is fly ahead through the pass into the open battlefield (there are probe droids in the pass if you want extra points). When you leave the pass there are three AT-STs slightly to the left. Aim for their heads with lasers to take them down. When they’re dead turn towards the ion cannon and you’ll see three more to the left of it. Finally turn back to where the first group was and find three more to take out. When they’re no more fly back towards the ion cannon and carry on past it. |
2 · There will be a cut-scene in which Luke is shot down so you’ll now take control of Wedge Antilles. You’ll have to take down the three AT-AT walkers closest to the shield generator. One at a time fly close to their legs with the brakes on and press B to attach the tow cable. Complete three laps around each one of their legs and they’ll fall. Do this for all three. 3 · Fly ahead and look for the Alliance symbol. Fly into it to jump into an X-Wing. Use the X-Wing to take down the TIE Bombers(send your wingmen after the fighters as they aren’t really a threat, just an annoyance). Make sure they don’t take out all the transports and when they’re all gone the mission is over. Advanced lasers tech upgrade: After the intermission sequence with the shield generator exploding, turn around and fly back to that area. The upgrade is where the shield generator was destroyed. |

| Mission 4: Prisons of the Maw 1 · Eliminate shield 2 · Eliminate guard towers/protect prisoners 3 · Destroy comms towers 4 · Protect shuttle 1 · Fly ahead avoiding TIEs and asteroids until you find a row of large ships. Beyond them there is a blue shield. Use your ion cannons to take out three of the generators. To use the ion cannon hold B until your sight goes blue and/or the blue bar next to the secondary weapon display fills up, then release it to fire. When the generator stops producing a shield move onto another one until three have been destroyed. 2 · Fly forward until you find the Imperial prison. Get up high and switch to your bombs (B) and blow up the towers which fire lasers at you. When all of those are eliminated the train containing the escaped prisoners will take off. Follow it and help it out by blowing up the guard towers along the way. 3 · When you reach the comms towers (giant satellites) blow them all up. It may take a few bombs to blow up each one. 4 · When the stolen Imperial Shuttle containing the prisoners takes off use your lasers to take out the TIEs that are attacking it. It won’t take long until it’s clear and the mission is complete. Advanced cluster missiles tech upgrade: |
When you are ordered to take the comm towers out, you should encounter a single tower next to a domed building. Destroy the building. The upgrade is inside. Mission 5: Razor Rendevous 1 · Protect frigate 2 · Destroy Star Destroyer and recapture the Razor 1 · When the mission starts stay with the frigate as it will come under attack from TIEs. When the TIEs are gone you can start attacking the Star Destroyer. 2 · Get behind the Star Destroyer (there are less guns behind) and start attacking the top two shield generators (the ball-shape things on top). Fire three torpedoes at each one and finish them with lasers. 1 · When those are taken out the frigate will be attacked again. Go back and take out the TIEs. 2 · Fly under the Star Destroyer and look for the dome-shaped thing (shows up yellow on the targeting computer). Pelt it with lasers until it explodes. The shield are now down so you must take out the bridge. On the front of the section where the first two shield generators were there’s a small rectangular section that protrudes slightly. Blast it with lasers or hit it with a couple of torpedoes (if you have any) and the Star Destroyer is finished. Advanced proton bombs tech upgrade: |

| As soon as the level starts, boost towards the Star Destroyer. There will be an Imperial Shuttle that will be flying to the right of the Star Destroyer’s bridge. Destroy the Shuttle. The upgrade is inside. Mission 6: Vengeance on Kothlis 1 · Protect the transport 2 · Take out the AT-ATs 3 · Protect the recon squad 4 · Break through the hull of the Star Destroyer 1 · Fly around the transport and take out as many TIEs as you can, especially any highlighted in yellow. If you get an Interceptor on your tail speed up, brake, and turn to shake it off. Keep protecting the transport until you get to the Star Destroyer and it sets down on the beach. 2 · Some AT-ATs will now blast their way out of the Star Destroyer. Fly behind the transport to get into a Speeder. Use the speeder’s tow cable to take down all three. It’s more difficult than on Hoth because you can’t drop below the water level but if you brake as you do it you shouldn’t have too much of a problem. 3 · When they are down a squad of rebels on foot will start heading towards the SD. Go behind the transport and switch into a Y-Wing (it’s the rebel symbol furthest from the SD). Bomb any AT-PTs that attack them and send your wingmen after the TIEs to keep them off your back. |
4 · Eventually you will be told to bomb a hole in the hull. On the main body of the SD there is a slightly elevated section with a crack down it. Bomb the hell out of it until it breaks open to reveal a large hole. When that’s done just protect the squad until the mission is complete. Homing proton torpedo tech upgrade: On the crashed Star Destoyer, there is a hole through the bridge on the right side (facing from the rear). The upgrade is inside. Mission 7a: Imperial Academy Heist (day) 1 · Disable the Imperial radar 2 · Take out as many TIEs and turbolasers as you can 3 · Steal the shuttle Tiderium 1 · Fly low and charge your ion cannons. Using the targeting computer, hit the radar ahead and fly on through the pass. Hold the brake down and fire the ion cannon at all the radar along the way. Remember to stay low to avoid detection - use the fog at the bottom as a judge of how low you should be. 2 · When you leave the pass accelerate as fast as you can to avoid the TIEs who are chasing you. Follow the route through the academy that the radar shows until you reach a large open area with a tower in the middle. Follow the radar until you find an Imperial shuttle on a landing pad. |
||||
| 3 · When you bring up the targeting computer you should see some turrets highlighted in yellow around it. Bomb them until they’re destroyed, then take the shuttle and follow the radar. After following the radar for a short while you’ll complete the mission. Advanced concussion missile tech upgrade: when you get to the main base, there is a hangar to the far left of the tall tower in the centre of the base. The upgrade is inside. Mission 7b: Imperial Academy Heist (night) 1 · Avoid detection 2 · Steal the shuttle Tiderium Fly through all the sensors and when you come to the end of the canyon go take the left route. You should come to an Imperial outpost. A small movie will play pointing out the TIE. To capture it, simply kill the little black pilot running around. A blue rebel medal will appear. Fly into it so your craft will land. Now you will have the TIE. You will be able to cruise over the Academy with out being detected. Once you fire your weapons they will come after you......so beware. Go and capture the shuttle and complete the mission. YOU MUST DO IT IN DAY AND NIGHT TO GET THE TIE FIGHTER. |

| Mission 8: Raid on Bespin 1 · Help the transports take the gas containers 2 · Eliminate the Cloud City’s turbolasers 3 · Protect the convoy 1 · First order of business is to take out the balloons. Be careful as your A-Wing’s shields are very weak. Send your wingmen after the TIEs and take out the gas cannisters inside the balloons (the things up inside with flames coming out). It’ll take out the turbolasers much faster. When the first balloon is down go after the TIEs until you’re ordered to go to the next set. Follow the radar through the clouds to the next batch of gas where there are two balloons and even more TIEs. When you’re told to move onto the final group there are three balloons to blow up and another bunch of TIEs. When they’re all taken out you can move on to the Cloud City itself. 2 · Look for the trenches in the City. Inside the network of them are three generators (they’ll show up yellow when you bring up the computer) that power the turbolasers. If you can’t find them leave the trench and use the radar to locate them. The benefit of the trench is that you’ll get little trouble from enemies. 3 · When the last generator is blown up fight off TIEs (you can take over a Cloud Car if you want) until the mission ends. |

| torpedoes on it, finish it with lasers (risky) or if you are out of torpedoes and aren’t on your last life kamikaze it. Use the same tactics (minus the kamikaze) on the second one to take it out. When they’re down fly away as a lot of TIEs will attack which can be avoided. When Lando says that the shield is down the level will end. Homing cluster missiles tech upgrade: When you get to the part where you attack the Star Destroyers, after you knock out the destroyer on the left (when you first approached them), it will slightly and point downward. Look in the area below the docking bay. The upgrade is floating at a point in space. Mission 10: Strike at the Core 1 · Protect the Millennium Falcon 2 · Find a way into the core 3 · Destroy the core 4 · Escape from the Death Star before it explodes 1 · When you and the Falcon are flying along the suface of the Death Star close your S-Foils (click the R trigger) to keep up and dodge and weave to avoid turret fire. If some TIEs attack open your S-Foils and shoot them down. Eventually you’ll come to a large exhaust port. Fly inside. 2 · This part can be very frustrating but what you should do is go slow enough to be able to dodge any obstacles but fast enough to be able to see the |

| Homing concussion missiles tech upgrade: As soon as you destroy the first gun-balloon, boost over to the next platform. There will be a large ship next to a platform. Destroy it. The upgrade is on the platform next to where it was. The explosion of the ship exposes it. Mission 9: Battle of Endor 1 · Protect the medical frigate 2 · Destroy the TIE Bombers 3 · Take out two Star Destroyers 1 · First follow the Millennium Falcon towards the Death Star. When Lando tells you, turn around to find out that you’re trapped. About 50 TIE Interceptors will attack. Fight off the ones that are attacking the medical frigate. 2 · After a few waves of Interceptors you will be told that there are some TIE Bombers on the way. DO NOT try and intercept them as their bombs will take you out. When they begin to attack the frigate start attacking them. Take them all out. 3 · Now for the hard part. Head towards one of the two Star Destroyers and fly behind it. Fire three proton torpedoes at one of the shield generators on top and finish it off with lasers. Repeat for the second one. Now fly underneath and blow up the final sheild generator with lasers. Go up and take out the bridge. When you do this you can either use any remaining |

| Falcon. If TIEs come up behind you fly low and brake, then shoot them down as they fly past. After a while you’ll reach a large open area - the core. 3 · If you’ve seen Return of the Jedi you know that you have to do. Above and to the right is a tower that you need to destroy. Bring up the targeting computer and fire all your torpedoes and your lasers at it. A cut-scene will start when you’ve hit it with enough firepower but it’s not over yet! 4 · Now you’ll have to escape the way you came with fire on yourtail! Fly as fast as you can without crashing until you get out. When I did this I closed the S-Foils to go at full speed and slowed down for turns and tight gaps. You can do it without closing the S-Foils but you might have to boost if the fire gets too close behind you. As soon as you hit space you’ve done it! Watch the ending and the credits, then watch the documentary and go for some medals. Advanced targeting computer: When you are almost out of the tunnel approaching the Core, the upgrade can be found under some pipes on the lower right. |
