The Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance versions are in portable style , as opposed to the original ' s presence on only the Game Boy Advance . Description . While the original films were fairly serious , besides a few puns in the later movies , " LEGO Star Wars II " is much more tongue - in - cheek , with large amounts of bizarre physical humor ( there is no voice acting , so all jokes involve slapstick comedy ) . It covers the first three films ( episodes IV , V , and VI ) , unlike " LEGO Star Wars " , which covers episodes I , II , and III . The game was developed by Traveller ' s Tales , which was also responsible for . Publishing duties were taken up by LucasArts ( replacing the original ' s Eidos Interactive ) . It features a total of 114 playable characters , 46 of them unlockable by having a saved game from " LEGO Star Wars " on the memory card or hard drive ( and the others must be bought in the Mos Eisley Cantina , or unlocked during gameplay ) . The game also includes several new features , including vehicles , character - specific abilities , and customizable characters . The game holds the Guinness record for most playable characters in an action - adventure video game . Much of the game revolves around collecting " studs , " small LEGO pieces that are used as an in - game currency . Some of the characters have special actions such as slapping or punching enemies , or interacting with friendly characters . There are also levels where you must pilot a ship . You can unlock Slave I if you collect all canisters in the game . Changes from the films . Episode VI . Because of these differences , the game is considered non - canon . Handheld versions . Game Boy Advance . For the Game Boy Advance , the game is altered for portability reasons , such as lower quality graphics . This version has 36 playable characters , which is fewer than the console versions , although it does feature characters not available in console versions such as a Baby Rancor , R2 - Q5 and K - 3PO . Also , Vader is unlocked at an earlier time , and the scout trooper and mouse droid are now playable without using the extra toggle mode . The generic Ewok is gone , and Wicket ' s slingshot is replaced with a spear . There are not any power bricks to find , but there are still extras to buy . For example , the Jedi Spirit extra turns characters into Force ghosts , something that can only be done when one of the three ghost characters in the 128 - bit version is used . There are five levels in Episodes IV and V , and six levels in Episode VI . A character in each level is unlocked when all ten minikits are collected . The Dagobah level is not in the Game Boy version . Mos Eisley Spaceport and Through the Jundland Wastes are formed as one level ( Tatooine ) . The console versions ' levels " Jedi Destiny " ( Emperor Fight ) and " Into The Death Star " ( Death Star 2 Battle ) are switched . So are " Cloud City Trap " ( Cloud City Rescue ) and " Betayal Over Bespin " ( Cloud City Trap ) . Nintendo DS . For the Nintendo DS version , like the Game Boy Advance version , the game was altered for portability reasons , such as having lower quality graphics . The DS version has 50 characters , though they do not exactly match the ones from the console games . In addition to cooperative multiplayer , the DS version allows up to four people to battle wirelessly , where they can choose to fight over Han Solo ( Carbonite ) in Jabba ' s Palace or battle in a Tatooine - themed arena . Character swapping is performed by touching icons on the touch screen . Though generally praised for its gameplay , the original release of the DS version was criticized for its bugs and graphic glitches . Many Internet sites accused it of being rushed to shelves with the other versions of the game and the reissued Star Wars DVD films . One website was supposedly contacted by anonymous employees of the developer which claimed that the US , European , and Japanese versions were different from each other regarding the bugs , and that a new fixed version would be shipped to shelves after the first print run was sold out . One of the most notable glitches is in Episode VI , where many have considered the first main boss entirely unbeatable . This has not been verified by either the publisher or developer . However some people have beat the boss ( Jabba ' s Rancor ) using Luke Skywalker to use the force , to bring down the gate , crushing the boss . Other glitches include dagobah Luke being able to shoot blaster bolts from his lightsaber if he attacks immediately after rolling . Salacious Crumb , Wuher , K - 3PO , Zuckuss , and the four members of the Bith band are DS version exclusives . Some levels are renamed . Just like the GBA version the levels " Mos Eisley Spaceport " and " Through the Jundland Wastes " are formed as one level , " Into the Death Star " and " Jedi Destiny " are both also renamed . Sand Box . The Nintendo DS version of Lego Star Wars II also replaces LEGO City with the Sand Box . The Sand Box includes plenty of objects to destroy , but has no defeatable enemies besides a giant Ewok . It can be accessed through a door with a question mark over it in the Mos Eisley Cantina , between the Bounty Hunter Arena and the hangar . In the story mode you play as Princess Leia with slave outfit and Salacious Crumb . The only objective is to build and destroy everything in the level . As a prize for beating the level you unlock the Emperor for purchase at the cantina bar . Objects in the Sand Box include two Sand Skiffs , the Sarlacc Pit , one giant Ewok , a lever you can pull to turn big , another one where you can see your custom characters , some Imperial Vehicles that fly around that you can destroy , and one space worm . Once you have completed all story mode levels with Jedi status in the game , you can go into the door leading to the Sand Box . PlayStation Portable .

If completed , the player will achieve a character from the original Lego Star Wars game . Unlike other versions , the player can use characters from the original Lego Star Wars game in the Mos Eisley Cantina . Similar to the DS version , it contains a Wireless Lobby . The cantina ' s area is made an empty place featuring only the player and one other character , to make sure the game runs lag - free due to the PSP firmware capability at the time . The bounty hunter missions are excluded from the game in place of the prequel episodes ' levels . Gold bricks cannot be bought from the cantina , and there are longer loading times . Cell phone .
