Cheat Menu
Head to the Cantina, the main hub of the video game. Walk inside, avoid confrontations with other guests and head to the back counter. The building is a circle, so the counter may be close or far depending on the entrance. Press the "A" button when you reach the counter. A "Cheats" menu will appear where you can use an on-screen numbered keyboard to enter various cheat codes. Enter as many codes as you want during this time. When a cheat is correct, it will say "Cheat Activated."
Codes
Those familiar with the "Star Wars" story will want to unlock key things and places early. Many of them are available through codes. Unlock the Millennium Falcon with "89910." Unlock Obi Wan's house with "40214." Other places and codes include Yoda's Hut ("06881"), the Ewok Village ("31299"), the Death Star ("52577"), the Emperor's Lair ("20876") and the Carbonite Chamber ("08433").
Studs
Save the LEGO studs top purchase extras available at the in-game store. Players who spend their studs early will not have access to these exclusive cheats that must be purchased with the saved studs. The studs are used in the shop and act as LEGO money. Earn invincibility by saving 1 million studs. Purchase the "Chicken Gun" with 125,000 studs and the "Bubble Blaster" with 100,000 studs. Purchase the rare green lightsaber with 60,000 studs. Replay levels to maximize your studs.
Canisters
Canisters may seem like a waste of time to collect, but for players that do, a large collection of playable characters open up. Get all of the canisters in the "Sarlacc Pit" level to open Boba Fett. Collect the canisters in the "Cloud City Rescue" to open Darth Vader. Open up the Stormtrooper with the canisters in the "Blockade Runner" level and get the Emperor with the canisters in the "Emperor Fight" level.
