Section 1: Overview
The galaxy stands posed at a moment of tremendous change that will forever alter
the lives of its billions of inhabitants. When the greedy trade federation
mobilized for an invasion of the peaceful planet Naboo, the Jedi Master Qui-Gon
Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, find themselves embroiled in the violent
conflict. Manwhile, in the city Theed, Captain Panaka, must call upon all of
their training to survive the first attack. And in the swamps of Naboo, the
clumsy Gungan Jar Jar Binks moves ever closer to his fatal meeting with Qui-Gon.
But it is on the desert world of Tatooine, far removed from the machinations of
the trade federation and the endless debate in the galactic senate, where the
Jedi will eventually discover a young slave named Anakin Skywalker. Despite his
humble beginnings, the boy could eventually save them all.

Section 6: Characters
Heroes (Playable Characters)
----------------------------

all life forms, yet he is intensely loyal and models
himself after Qui-Gon in all other ways. Special
Weapons: Lightsaber, Force Push.
Qui-Gon Jinn The venerable Jedi Master who, along with Obi-Wan, is
sent to solve the Trade Federation dispute. He is one
of the most skilled of the Jedi Warriors. Despite his
strength and wisdom, Qui-Gon has never sat on the Jedi
Council due to is unconventional views. Special
Weapons: Lightsaber, Force Push.
Captain Panaka Leader of the Naboo Royal Security Forces, and the
Queen's loyal protector. He has uncanny instincts, and
is known as "the quickest eyes on Naboo." He has
difficulty trusting others, especially when it could
jeapordize the safety of his charge. Special Weapons:
Hand to Hand Combat.
Queen Amidala The newly elected leader of Naboo who sometimes adopts
unique and very personal solutions to problems. She has
been trained for her position since childhood, and
gained great respect as the ruler of Theed before
assuming the throne. Her elaborate costumes are not a
sign of vanity, but rather appearance so that without
them she may walk unnoticed among her people to
gather information. Special Weapons: Droid Stunner
Other Characters
----------------
Anakin Skywalker A young boy on the planet Tatooine. One of Watto's
slaves and a mechanical genius, Anakin is currently
building a Podracer and a protocol droid. The Force is
amazingly strong with this boy, although his future is
clouded. He forms an immediate attachment to the
Queen's handmaiden, Padmé.
Jar Jar Binks A clumsy Gungan who aids the heroes, partially because
he believes he owes a lift debt to Qui-Gon. He has been
banished from Otoh Gunga, yet his role in uniting the
Gungans with Qeen Amidala will eventually bring him
honor and respect from his people.
Enemies
Battle Droid The primary enemy encountered by the heroes. Battle
droids have been developed secretly by several factions,
including the Trade Federation, despite the restrictions
of the Republic. They are extremely efficient and have
been programmed for many combat situations.
Maintenance Droid The cleaning droids found in air vents on the Trade
Federation ship. They are not dangerous as such, but
they are programmed to recognize obstructions as dirt
and obliterate then with electrostatic energy.
Destroyer Droid Incredibly dangerous rolling battle units with personal
deflector shields for defense. These shields, along
with their mobility and heavy armament, make them even
more formidable foe than the battle droids.
Coruscant Mercenary Armed with a force pike, the Coruscant Mercenary is
trained in stealth and melee fighting.
Battle Tank The Trade Federation battle tank, also known as an
Armored Attack Tank or AAT. These tanks confront the
enemy with heavily armored facade and a blistering hail
of assault fire from five laser guns and six energy
shell launchers. Their deployment on Naboo are the
tanks' first use in open combat.
Darth Maul A Sith Lord and apprentice to Darth Sidious. He weilds
a double bladed lightsaber. His appearance is fearsome,
with horns covering his bald head, and red and black
tatoos on his face. His absorption in the dark side of
the Force is total, and he fights with frightening
ferocity.

Section 15: Hints and Tips
* Sometimes creates contain useful items. Break open every one that you can get and
get ready for a surprise.
* Talk to everyone and check in with the characters again from time to time. You
never know when you'll have something they need.
* Know when to fight and when to run.
* Do not attack unless you are sure that the enemy is hostile.
* Know the strengths and weakness of your enemy. Different strategies work well on
some enemies, but not on others.
* Keep moving, a moving target is better than a sitting duck (In open areas, roll or
sidestep while firing to attack and dodge simultaneously).
* Pay attention to the features of the level. Hints and secrets are hidden everywhere.
* If on an escort mission, stay close to the person you are escorting. Do not stray,
or harm may come to them.
* Use powerups sparingly. You never know when you are going to really need them.
* Familiarize yourself with using the lightsaber. The Jedi have some devastating
special moves.
* There is often more than one way to complete the same puzzle.
