Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual

Story
Introduction
The galaxy stands poised at a moment of tremendous change that will forever alter the lives of its billions of inhabitants. When the greedy Trade Federation mobilizes for an invasion of the peaceful planet Naboo, the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, find themselves embroiled in the violent conflict.
Meanwhile, in the city of Theed, the young Queen Amidala and her faithful guardian, Captain Panaka, must call upon all of their training to survive the first attack. In the swamps of Naboo, the clumsy Gungan Jar Jar Binks moves ever closer to his fateful meeting with Qui-Gon.
It is on the desert world of Tatooine, far removed from the machinations of the Trade Federation and the endless debate in the Galactic Senate, where the Jedi will eventually discover a young slave named Anakin Skywalker. Despite his humble beginnings, the boy could eventually save them all.
Naboo
•
Under siege by the Trade Federation.
Theed Palace and Gardens
Explore the Theed palace and gardens in an attempt to rescue Queen Amidala.
Naboo Swamp
Unusual creatures populate this swamp where Obi-Wan must reunite with Qui-Gon.
Otoh Gunga
While travelling through Otoh Gunga, Obi-Wan must successfully navigate shifting underwater passages of the strange city and rescue Jar Jar Binks without harming any Gungans.
Theed Palace Garden
The Palace Garden is an elaborate and beautiful place, perfect for contemplation when the planet isn't being invaded. After the Trade Federation takes control of the city, Obi-Wan must explore the garden in search of a path into the palace.
Theed City
Obi-Wan must safely escort the Queen from the Theed Palace to a hangar, where they hope to escape the planet in her Royal Starship.
Tatooine
Tatooine is a desert planet on the galactic frontier and home to many alien species. Mos Espa, one of Tatooine's few cities, houses a variety of galactic flotsam, and offers both refuge and danger to visitors from outside. Mos Espa is the setting of the famous Boonta Eve Podrace, presided over by the crime boss Jabba the Hutt.
Mos Espa
After fighting off Tusken Raiders, Qui-Gon, Jar Jar, and Padmé enter the bustling city of Mos Espa in search of parts for the Queen's Royal Starship. While the handmaiden and the Gungan obtain supplies, the Jedi encounters many colourful inhabitants.
Several inhabitants have their own problems, requests, or grievances. Unless he acts in self-defence, Qui-Gon must avoid harming the residents of Mos Espa, as many have powerful friends. Qui-Gon would be wise to keep his weapons hidden until they are needed.
Eventually, Qui-Gon will find a young slave named Anakin, and the meeting will change both of their lives forever.
Mos Espa Arena
The arena is a crowded site, filled with a variety of beings and encounters for the venerable Jedi Master, Qui-Gon. In order to obtain the money he needs, Qui-Gon must deal with the vile Jabba the Hutt. Then, he must find a way to place a bet on the Boonta Eve Podrace.
Desert Landing on Tatooine
While returning to the Queen's Royal Starship, Qui-Gon is ambushed by a dangerous Sith warrior named Darth Maul. Their battle on the outskirts of Mos Espa will not be their last confrontation.
Coruscant
The seat of galactic government for as long as records have existed, Coruscant is the jewel of the Core Worlds and the centre of the known universe. Kilometre-high skyscrapers and numerous spaceports cover the capital, Imperial City. The lowest, darkest levels of Imperial City were abandoned long ago and are now home to countless vermin and subhuman beings moving through the shadows.
Return to Naboo
The Jedi and their allies return to Theed in a last desperate effort to defeat the evil Trade Federation and to restore peace and freedom to the planet of Naboo.
The Final Battle
Queen Amidala reaches the Theed Palace and must acquire a series of keys in order to rescue several Naboo prisoners and capture the Trade Federation Viceroy. As the Queen fights to free her planet, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon engage in a climactic battle with the fearsome Darth Maul.

Enemies & Characters
BATTLE DROID
The primary enemy encountered by the heroes. Battle droids have been developed secretly by several factions, including the Trade Federation, despite the restrictions of the Republic.
MAINTENANCE DROID
The cleaning droids found in air vents on the Trade Federation ship. They are not dangerous as such, but they are programmed to recognise obstructions as dirt and obliterate them with electrostatic energy.
DESTROYER DROIDS
Incredibly dangerous rolling battle units with personal deflector shields for defence. These shields, along with their mobility and heavy armament, make them an even more formidable foe than the battle droids.
CORUSCANT MERCENARY
Armed with a force pike, the Coruscant Mercenary is trained in stealth and melee fighting.
BATTLE TANK
The Trade Federation battle tank, also known as an Armoured Attack Tank or AAT. These tanks confront the enemy with a heavily armoured facade and a blistering hail of assault fire from five laser guns and six energy shell launchers.
DARTH MAUL
A Sith Lord and apprentice to Darth Sidious. He wields a double-bladed lightsaber. His appearance is fearsome, with horns covering his bald head, and red and black tattoos on his face.
Items & Weapons
LIGHTSABER
The primary weapon of the Jedi. Deadly in offense, and quite formidable in defence, the energy blade of the lightsaber can cut through almost any object and can deflect incoming energy blasts.
BLASTER RIFLE
A lightweight, long-range sidearm. Standard weapon for battle droids.
LIGHT REPEATING BLASTER
Has a superior fire rate when compared to standard issue blasters and blaster rifles.
NABOO BLASTER
Standard issue for Naboo Royal Guards.
PROTON MISSILE LAUNCHER
Launches missiles with miniature proton warheads. The weapon can destroy many vehicles and inflict damage on other large machinery.
R-65 HEAVY BLASTER
Fires high-powered energy bolts that reflect off most surfaces. It's extremely useful in tight combat zones.
DROID STUNNER
Emits an energy pulse capable of stunning almost any enemy. Proves very useful against battle droids.
THERMAL DETONATOR
Spherical baradium fusion explosive. Thermal detonators destroy all matter within a radius of 5-20 meters. Use with extreme caution.
GUNGAN ENERGY BALL
An explosive sphere developed by the Gungans for large-scale battles. The weapons are designed to be hurled at opponents to temporarily stun them.
FLASH GRENADE
Small-area explosive designed primarily to blind opponents. More powerful flash grenades can be quite destructive, but are not as powerful as thermal detonators.
HEAVY REPEATING CANNON
This weapon can lay down a devastating barrage of fire within a short range. Typically they are used by battle droids to defend key strategic positions.
HEALTH PACK
Restores the character's health to maximum.
SMALL HEALTH PACK
Restores 25 percent of the character's health. Will not restore health beyond the maximum limit.
ENERGY SHIELD
Protective energy shield, which surrounds the player and repels blaster attacks. Pick up to activate.
KEY CARD
You'll find a variety of key cards and security passes which will allow access to secure areas in certain levels.
Tips & Maps
Crates
Break open every crate you can, as they sometimes contain useful items.
Talk to everyone
Talk to all characters and check in with them again from time to time, as you never know when you'll have something they need.
Fight or run
Know when to fight and when to run, and do not attack unless you are sure the enemy is hostile.
Enemy strengths and weaknesses
Know the strengths and weaknesses of your enemy, as different strategies work well on some enemies but not others.
Keep moving
Keep moving, as a moving target is better than a sitting duck; in open areas, roll or sidestep while firing to attack and dodge simultaneously.
Level features
Pay attention to the features of the level, as hints and secrets are hidden everywhere.
Escort missions
If on an escort mission, stay close to the person you are escorting and do not stray, or harm may come to him/her.
Powerups
Use powerups sparingly, as you never know when you are going to really need them.
Lightsaber
Familiarise yourself with using the lightsaber, as the Jedi have some devastating special moves.
Puzzles
There is often more than one way to complete the same puzzle.
