Free Play
================================================================================

Despite what it may look like, the characters chosen for Free Play are not 100%
random - there is a pattern to it. When doing Free Play, you will choose one
character out of all of the characters that you have unlocked. Outside of your
Chosen One, the game will select six characters for you if you have a character
that fits that category. When you start Free Play, the game checks who your
Chosen One is and then selects what you don't have. You must have:

Slot 1: Chewbacca, Wicket W. Warrick, Boba Fett, MSE-6, Baby Rancor, any Rebel
Slot 2: Emperor Palpatine, any Jedi
Slot 3: Any Astromech Droid
Slot 4: Any Protocol Droid
Slot 5: Tusken Raider, Darth Vader, any Imperial
Slot 6: Lando Calrissian
Slot 7: Gamorrean Guard

If you don't have any characters that fit a slot's requirements (i.e., you don't
have the Tusken Raider, Darth Vader, or any Imperial) then that category is left
empty.

Because of these rules, it is possible to have both Luke Skywalker (Tatooine or
Trooper) in Slot 1 and Luke Skywalker (Padawan or Jedi) in Slot 2 at the same
time, hence bringing two Lukes into the level.

At the same time, because of these rules, it is possible to get stuck in some
Freeplay levels with Imperial Panels and be unable to progress. This will happen
if the game's choices cause the following to occur:
-Slot 1 has a character that is not Luke Skywalker (Trooper) or Han Solo
 (Trooper) - this is in levels with Disguise Panels only and doesn't matter in
 other levels.
-Slot 2 does not have Emperor Palpatine
-Slot 4 has the Tusken Raider

So if you're going into a level with Imperials panels, select an appropriate
character as the Chosen One to prevent this from occurring.

When playing a vehicle-based level, you can pick from one of the vehicles to
play during the entire level. In the chapters 'Trench Run' and 'Hoth Battle',
all vehicles will have the secondary weapon (press L) of 'Proton Torpedoes' and
'Cable' no matter which one they are.

All Blaster users are able to jump aside from Boba Fett, who uses Jetpack.
Lando is able to access Lando Panels. Luke Skywalker (Trooper) and Han Solo
(Trooper) can access Disguise Panels. Imperials, disguised Luke Skywalker

Blaster-users can use Repair.

-----
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
-Padawan Luke Skywalker
-Luke Skywalker (Jedi)
-Yoda

Sith Apprentice:
----------------
-Darth Vader

Sith Master:
------------
-Emperor Palpatine

All Force users are similar - all of them carry a lightsaber melee weapon, can
use the Force, and high-jump. The only difference between Jedi and Sith is that
both Sith are able to access Imperial Panels.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each one of these species is very different. All except for the Baby Rancor can

Guard is able to access Gamorrean Panels.

-X-Wing Fighter
-TIE Fighter
-Vader TIE Advanced

All of the ships are very similar. All of them can attack with lasers, and use

an L ability outside of 'Trench Run' and 'Hoth Battle'.
