Hey, Guys!

Look, i'm not very good with descritive things. But, if you want a more "oriented" guide, i can indicate this guide for N64: GameFAQS Guide[gamefaqs.gamespot.com]

I used this one on my first playthrough, and everything went well. The guide that i'm writing / wrote, is more visual.
- Tips Before Start -
I recommend that you play on the Easy Diffculty first, so you can familiarize yourself with the maps.

You wont have problems with the game until the Hard Difficulty - My tips are more focused to that -, since Jedi is way more easier than Hard. (enemies take more damage - basically one shot)

Ok, so...

1. On Hoth Battle, stay out of sight from the AT-STs;

2. On the Echo Base, Dont open the Woompa cages;
2.1. On the AT-ST boss, stay crounched and behind the wall from the cut-scene - avoid his lasers behind the wall;
2.2. You can use the seeker on the AT-ST boss, although, i recommend saving it;

3. On the asteroid field, shoot missiles only on the "squad" of fighters. The bombers are not a problem;

4. On the Junkyard, use the Seeker on IG-88, and wait for him to appear while you're behind a wall - one of the easiest boss on Hard Difficulty;

5. On the Gall Spaceport's AT-ST, stay behind the hangar's door - shoot his "head" and dodge
5.1. On Boba Phase 1 - Just wait for him to drop down slowing on the first floor of the structure, then use the Seekers (Easy)
5.2. On the Boba Phase 2 - The Slave 1 -, drop down the structure you're in (on the way to take the C.Ps here), jetpack up and shoot him, staying behind the wall. He wont shoot you and you avoid damage.

6. On the Mos Eisley, kill the Swoop Gang first, than go back to the start of the level to take the Challenge Points;

7. On the Freighter, just stay close to the Loader Droid, and use a bit of the Pulse Gun - Dont use the Disruptor (Save it for the last boss)

8. On the Sewer's Boss, focus on his eye with the laser. To avoid the tentacles, just stay out of the middle of the room. (Easy)

9. On the Gladiator Boss, you must have 5 Disruptor ammo and a lot of the Pulse.
9.1. Gladiator's First Phase: Laser on his head
9.2. Gladiator's Second Phase: Disruptor (About 3 shoots - Try to not miss it)
9.3. Gladiator's Second Phase: Disruptor (About 3 shoots), so you probably have to use the pulse to damage it.

10. On the Skyhook first stage, you'll die a lot - thats normal
10.1. Every 25 fighters, you get a life
10.2. On the second stage, destroy the turrets first (4 missiles for each)
10.3. After you destroyed the turrets, you can enter the Skyhook and shoot the 4 sides in one go.

Obs.: I "cheatead" on hard difficulty, on the last level's first stage. I had to increase the quantity of lives because i had 4 lives - Having about 10, you're good to go.

On Jedi, i didnt had to worry about it because the Gladiator was easier, and i had about 16 lives.

That's it.

Hey, Cheese!

For those CP's, you gotta go back before the ramps, and try to reach a good speed to jump. It's challenging, and i died a lot at Sarlac pits - but, it's the only way that i know of.

On the Swoop bike level in Mos Eisley, I can't figure out how to jump up to get the challenge points that are floating in the air or the ones that are on ledges. Jumping off the ramps don't give me enough height. I can't reach 1, 3, & 4 or the ones over the sarlac pits.
