The Destroying Starkiller mission in LEGO Star Wars serves as a dramatic climax where players take part in high-stakes space dogfights and ground combat. Successfully navigating this iconic level requires a mix of sharp flight maneuvers, tactical ground combat, and keen observation for hidden collectibles. This walkthrough provides essential strategies to help players achieve 100% completion across all story objectives and extra challenges.
Mastering the Aerial Dogfight and Trench Run
The initial phase of the mission places you in the cockpit of Poe Dameron's X-wing to engage First Order forces above Starkiller Base. To clear the primary objective, you must destroy target enemy TIE fighters, surface turrets, and communication antennas scattered across the facility. Flying dynamically and using barrel rolls helps avoid incoming homing missiles while completing optional level challenges.
Transitioning into the trench run segment shifts the gameplay toward fast-paced linear flight along narrow corridors. Keep your weapons firing constantly to destroy white turrets lining the walls to secure minikit progress. Stay low near the end of the trench path to intercept collectible items before the sequence concludes.
Ground Boss Battle Against Kylo Ren
After landing on the snow-covered surface, players engage in a multi-stage lightaber duel against Kylo Ren. Utilizing character abilities like Rey's Breaker Blaster allows you to destroy structural environmental obstacles around the arena. Switching between active party members keeps the pressure on Kylo while dealing with patrolling snowtroopers.
Focusing on precise aim during the trooper skirmishes allows players to complete specific helmet-related combat objectives. Additionally, using Force powers to assemble environmental debris into a snowman can turn the battle tide in a humorous, iconic LEGO fashion. Cleared paths and defeated waves eventually open access to the final cutscenes and reward screens.
Collecting Minikits and Achieving True Jedi Rank
Reaching 100% completion requires filling the stud meter completely to attain True Jedi status before finishing the level. Smash every destructible rock formation, tree, and control panel scattered along the ground paths to maximize your stud multipliers. Replay the level in Free Play mode with varied character classes to unlock doors and reach high ledges.
Certain minikits require Jedi Force manipulation to stack objects or Scavenger tools to break wall barriers. Gathering all five minikits rewards players with a unique microbuild vessel for their collection. Diligent exploration guarantees you unlock all story bonuses, character variants, and Kyber bricks associated with this finale.
