Nar Shaddaa Streets walkthough completion (spoilers)
This finishes the abruptly-ended excellent walkthrough for this level by Slenderprise/Slenderturtle here

Nar Shaddaa Streets continued
Orientation: Up and down are relative to the upper bar exit on the walkway, Left and right are facing along the street away from the bar.

There are snipers everywhere, and can see you from infinity. Expect to get ambushed and keep moving (they're not very accurate). Your lightsaber doesn't block lasers like bolts, so keep your rifle handy while turning corners, and ready the saber for jumps. They're dumb enough to fire directly at you (wallhackers!) so simply back around the corner, wait for them to fire, then turn out, zoom in and pop them in the eye while they're 'reloading'. Although fun, don't melee the Gran grenadiers, as you will be ground zero for their suicide detonations.

I didn't write down a complete guide but basically keep working your way left and up, see arrows above. You will need to jump down on the glass roof of the central oval building, and break in to activate the switch that extends the walkway to the other side of the street so you can go across the street, then come back higher up.

You see those two big buttons back across the street mid-way up? Forget 'em. They are not operable now, but will be critical later. Yes, you can get over if you really try, and yes, they have force prompts but do nothing. Patience, padawan.

Keep going high up left until you reach a large glass walkway. Expect surprises. At the purple lightning pool equip lightsaber and bunnyhop left up onto the small ledge, then the roof. Yes, it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ jump, just play 'floor is lava' but with electric death instead. You can break into the room for a secret. At the R5 droid above, hit the button to extend the striped gantries. Then jump down onto the first one.

Here's where I got stuck. Basically you need to force-pull the other one closer so you can make the jump (soooooo many deaths trying this stupid jump) but there's absolutely NO indication you need to do this! After noclipping I discovered that the force-prompt only appears when you creep right up to the edge of the first gantry, and even then it's a bit random if it appears. Quicksave and edge around a bit.

Jump across and then into the dumpster, which will leave automatically. NOW you can force-push the two buttons you saw earlier as you get near them, and be quick! Otherwise the dumpster will turn right and leave you hanging from almost certain doom. Once you've pushed both buttons the dumpster will proceed to the exit to Nar Shaddaa Hideout

Oh yes, if you think can do a Jedi move onto a car like in the movies, don't.

I thought that move was insanely difficult to be legit, but had to try it anyway.

Secrets
I got 5/6 secrets, most of which were easy, and I don't remember them, just jumping around to hard to reach places...

I confirm Bookai's solution of the bar secret. It's the left booth of two. There is no force prompt, just use the recessed panel.

The secret at the end of the street to the right and down is just as Bookai says, jump down the walkways. Just crouch-crawl off the doorways to prevent fall damage.

The one I never got is in the building right at the end of the level. Above the R5 at the bridge switch is a breakable grate you can't jump up to. Ignore this!

Although unsuccessful (I tried 100+ times) it looks like you have to get in the dumpster, then jump up into the awning-covered window. It looks like you need more force power, but this is the first mission after the Trial... The dumpster will reset to it's start so destroy the crate, pillage the loot and drop back down into the dumpster to go to the exit. You can open the grate to get back onto the street if you missed anything.

edit: lots.
