Play as Santa Claus
Enter the "CL4U5H" and "TYH319" codes at the Mos Eisley cantina. Select the "Character Customizer" option, then choose a human head, the Santa hat, white beard, and red clothes. After choosing a red or green lightsaber, enter the "Extras" menu and activate "Disguise 3" for the glasses.

Defeating Bosses
This trick requires R2-D2 and self destruct. When you must battle a Boss (for example, Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, etc.), change yourself and your second character to R2-D2. Walk right up to them and self destruct. It will take away a heart. Do this as many times as desired.

Defeating the Rancor at Jabba's palace
Use R2-D2 on the pad under the pipe to let a pig guard out. The Rancor will grab it and sit in an alcove next to a bomb. Blow up the bomb to hurt it. Do this one more time then let another guard out. The Rancor will take his new snack into his cage, then use R2-D2 to close the gate.

Completing the Secret Plans level in Free Play mode
When you reach the part where you have to pull the levers to place the bombs next to Darth Vader, after you place the bombs use a Bounty Hunter to throw a Thermal Detonator. When it reaches the bombs, set off the Detonator. It should set off the bombs with one shot.

Staying alive in a firefight
If you are vastly outnumbered with Stormtroopers shooting from left, right and center and you have R2-D2 in your party, use the following trick. First, make R2 your active character. Enemies will never shoot at a droid. Then, push the Stormtroopers closer to your friends and then zap them with R2's electric prod type weapon. They will promptly stop shooting and rub their sore spot. Quickly switch to a member which has a piece that can do damage (for example, Han Solo or Luke Skywalker). Shoot the Stormtrooper while he is nursing his laser burn. After he is killed, make R2 your active character and repeat the process until you have defeated them.

Completing the Death Star Escape level in Free Play mode
In Episode IV: A New Hope - Death Star Escape, after you chase a Stormtrooper down the hallway, you will be bombarded with a large number of Stormtroopers. Use a bounty hunter to throw a Thermal Detonator. When it hits the ground, set it off. It should destroy a good majority of the Stormtroopers.

Play as hooded Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars: Episode 3 in Free Play mode
Start the game, then go to the two test tubes in the corner. Customize the first or second tube, then use these specific parts in order: black hood, Luke's head without the hair, black Jedi body, black arms, black or white hands, black legs, black belt, black cape, and red or blue blade lightsaber.

Special lightsaber moves
While playing with a character that uses a lightsaber, press Square to attack, but do not immediately press it again. Wait until the slash/attack stops, then quickly press Square as soon as it stops. If done correctly, the next slash/attack will feature a "sparkle" effect on the lightsaber blade. Do the same thing for a special finishing attack. Additionally, immediately after the first or second slash/attack, press Jump for a special jump that puts you behind your target. Press Square while in the air for a small area of effect attack.
