Item

**Items** are objects that  Luke Skywalker can collect into his inventory, carry around, and use when necessary. So far, over 140 different Items have been observed in the game.

Items are split into three primary categories:

* Equipment: These are Items that Luke Skywalker can use at any time. They are further split into Weapons (used for killing Enemies) and Medicine (used to heal Luke's injuries).
* Quest Items: These are Items used to solve Puzzles, Objectives, and other specific problems. They are further split into multiple descriptive sub-categories ("tools", "valuables", etc.) that can help identify which Item is required to solve each such a problem.
* THE FORCE: A unique item that can serve both in a general-purpose capacity to immobilize enemies, as well as in specific situations to solve problems.

Initially, each World starts with Luke holding only a  Blue Lightsaber. Later on, he will start with a few more special items to help him along. Additional items are acquired during the game, from a variety of sources. They are used up during the game, disappearing from the inventory.

When saving the current World, all items and their status are saved as well.

## Starting Items

Early on, Luke Skywalker starts each new World holding a  Blue Lightsaber. This is a Weapon, and needs to be equipped to Luke's weapon slot before it can be used.

After solving the first Dagobah Mission, Luke receives a  Green Lightsaber, replacing the Blue Lightsaber. He will henceforth start each new World holding this weapon instead.

After solving the second Dagobah Mission, Luke starts each new world with  THE FORCE already in his inventory, fully charged. If THE FORCE is used up during the mission, it can be re-acquired by solving the local Force Puzzle and talking to  Obi-Wan Kenobi.

After solving the third Dagobah Mission, Luke starts each new world with the  Spirit Heart already in his inventory. This piece of Equipment cannot be used, but will instead be automatically consumed if Luke dies, saving him from death instead.

## Getting Items

There are various ways to get different types of Items:

* Immediately after starting any new World (or resetting an existing one), you may pick up  R2-D2. R2 is a special type of Equipment that can be used to get basic hints and instructions about playing the game. Veterans can ignore R2 altogether.
* So long as Luke does not have  THE FORCE, it can be acquired by solving a Force Puzzle and speaking to  Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke must have more than 66% health (partially or fully green Health Pie). You may acquire THE FORCE this way as many times as necessary during the mission.
* Equipment is fairly common throughout the game world. It can often be found as Loot dropped from Enemies, hidden underneath various Moveables, or stored inside various containers such as cabinets or transports. Occasionally, Equipment may simply appear in plain sight to be picked up.
* Yoda provides a single Quest Item immediately after giving Luke his Mission. The Lokondo Mission handles this somewhat differently, as do the Dagobah Missions.
* Other Quest Items can only be acquired in Puzzle Cells and (rarely) Objective Cells. Some of these cells provide Local Quest Items that are only useful within that same Cell (or its Subcells).

## Losing Items

Most **Items** are used up during the game in various ways, disappearing from Luke's inventory.

* Medicine is consumed as soon as it is used, applying its entire effect on Luke's Health Pie regardless of his condition.
* Similarly,  Thermal Detonators disappear when used.
* Blasters,  Blaster Rifles and  THE FORCE are slowly consumed each time they are used. A blue bar indicates the remaining "charge". When the charge reaches 0, the item disappears. If another identical item is in Luke's inventory at the time, it will automatically be moved to Luke's weapon slot.
* Quest Items typically disappear when used on the appropriate scenery object or NPC that requires them. In some uncommon situations, certain Quest Items (particularly Key Cards) do not disappear after use, even when they have no further use in the game.
* The  Spirit Heart disappears if  Luke is killed, saving him from death. It only reappears when the next World is started.
* The  Lightsaber and  R2-D2 never disappear from Luke's inventory under any circumstances.
