Bounty hunting is a good stud source tho, I had over 60 gold bricks at that point, so I got 2,000,000 studs just by playing through the 20 missions (a gold brick after 60 gold bricks = 100,000 studs) + the reward money ->about 3 million studs from bounty hunting

You need 160 gold bricks to build it, and it unlocks all the extras (I suppose you won't even find the corresponding red bricks in the levels after that) and gives you studs infinitely. Here's a video I found: As you can see, it says "All extras unlocked"

I did a 100% run recently (17:34:16, following mostly zulice's route) and here's some possibly useful things in some random order:

• Stud magnet is awesome, its red brick can be found in 2-1 (can be collected in story mode), and really helps collecting studs fast and getting those true jedis early in the run
• Once you have 60 gold bricks, you'll be earning 100,000 studs for each gold brick you get which helps a lot
• You don't actually have to collect any the red bricks because when you have 160 gold bricks you can build the stud fountain outside of the cantina and unlock all the extras that way
• Although I suggest getting at least these extras (red bricks):
  • x2
  • x4
  • x6
  • x8
  • stud magnet
  • exploding blaster bolts
  • deflect bolts
  • invincibility
  • infinite torpedoes
• I also used these ones to speed up some things but they might not be that important:
  • fast force
  • fast build
  • mini-kit detector (because I'm bad at remembering things)
  • force pull (for killing gonk droids in bonus levels lol)
• Remember that you have to play almost each level 4 times (story mode, super story, free play, challenges) to get all you need - that's a lot (4¤36 = 144) + bounty hunting + bonus levels
• ^That's why the run can't be 10-12 hours without hax, more realistic run would be 14-18 hours I think (unless you can optimize everything perfectly)
• I lost about 30 mins to some stupid unforeseeable bugs, so be aware of that there are some
• I didn't practice much so there's a lot of room for improvement, especially in minikit and blue minikit hunting (I forgot to collect some minikits and had to go back to a level a few times) and efficient stud collecting

I think I found a fix, could someone with the same problem test it? the thing is to go through the door a few times, maybe to reset Obi-Wan's position or something dunno but it works for me :D

I hope this won't happen during an actual speedrun :O

You can, this is only a funny thing you can do :D

:(

oh right, I somehow didn't check the rules

The Any% & Any% NG+ run times in the leaderboard have been edited, why is that?

@Poshact wow I never knew about those skips, so cool :O

I found a cool glitch in ep. 1 chapter 3: It's kinda easy and saves like two seconds or smthing lol Works at least on PC

Edit: problem solved, check my next comment

In Episode 4, chapter 4 Rescue the Princess, there's a bug in which Obi-Wan should use force to make you a bridge after you've killed the troopers that are in front of him. But sometimes he doesn't appear, at least not instantly. In some cases he appeared like 1 minute later though, but that's bad for speedrunning :( Has anyone encountered this bug before and know how to fix it? I'm playing on PC, in Steam.

Here's a picture of the matter: Obi-Wan should come in from the door on the right Thanks for the help.

Same as Tunkon

The "Level Completed" message comes up only if you're playing the level for the first time, so maybe you should change the "Time ends on "Level Complete" message" in IL rules.

Ok, I'll re-time and submit the runs when I get home. And I'll make better runs in the future instead of these crappy ones :D

Wow thanks man! Although I timed my runs differently (started the timer when gained control of the character and stopped it when lost control) so should I make new videos of them? But seriously, thank you for these new categories! :D

platform?

Heyy

I made this thread if anyone wants to post shortcuts, bugs, glitches, new strats or something else speedrun-related stuff.

My youtube playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDumGiJCL49h3JyEpuyHSiJ8vn_H1EQVt includes some IL speedruns (played on PC) if anyone's interested. I follow mostly the Original Lego Star Wars speedrun routes (in speed demos archive) but there's a couple of new shortcuts and stuff. I'll try to have the motivation to make videos of all the remaining chapters but I hope these will be helpful to any speedrunners :) Edit: I've speedran all the chapters

EDIT2: I annotated all the videos in that playlist, I hope they'll make my in-game decisions clearer :)

But in any% you could still use power bricks if you collect enough studs to buy them? If that's the case, then it's not the same as "any% without power bricks". Am i right?

sounds good :)
