LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga delivers an incredibly expansive journey across the galaxy, letting players relive the most memorable moments from the cinematic universe with signature brick-built humor. Among the earliest challenges encountered during the New Hope campaign is the level titled Hunk of Junk, which tasks players with repairing and defending the Millennium Falcon inside Docking Bay 94. Achieving full completion in this level requires a mix of keen environmental observation and specialized character classes.
Understanding the Level Objectives
The primary focus of this stage involves helping Chewbacca complete vital maintenance on the iconic ship while under constant siege from Imperial stormtroopers. Players must navigate the scaffolding and hidden alcoves of the docking bay to locate necessary spare parts. Successfully managing the incoming enemy waves while solving environmental puzzles is key to unlocking the level's maximum rewards.
As you progress through the area, you will notice several locked structures that cannot be opened during your initial story run. Returning in Free Play mode allows you to swap to different character factions, which is essential for interacting with specialized terminals. Utilizing the unique abilities of Bounty Hunters, Scavengers, and Heroes will reveal hidden collectibles scattered across the hangar floors.
Mastering the Level Challenges
This level features three distinct level challenges that require specific actions to unlock during active gameplay. The first challenge, titled Absolute Scoundrel, requires players to use the environment to defeat stormtroopers by targeting structural weaknesses above them. For instance, aiming your blaster at the support hooks holding heavy cargo crates can instantly crush patrolling enemies below.
The second challenge is called Don't Get Cocky, which focuses on utilizing the Millennium Falcon's defensive turrets effectively during the final escape sequence. Players must maintain a high accuracy rate while shooting down incoming Imperial fighters as the ship lifts off from Tatooine. Balancing your defensive fire with quick targeting guarantees a swift completion of this objective.
The final objective requires players to construct specific decoy targets to distract the Imperial forces while repairs are underway. By gathering loose bricks near the entrance gates, you can choose to build a distraction droid instead of standard defense barriers. Triggering this build option successfully fulfills the criteria for the remaining challenge badge.
Finding Hidden Minikits
Collecting all five minikits hidden inside Docking Bay 94 demands a thorough exploration of both high and low spaces. One minikit is tucked away inside a heavy container that requires a Villain character to detonate using thermal detonators. Another can be reached by using a Jedi or Sith character to stack cargo boxes, creating a makeshift staircase to the upper rafters.
Players can also locate a minikit by utilizing a Protocol Droid to interface with a locked computer terminal near the back wall. This terminal activates a small cleaning vehicle that drops the collectible after completing its designated route across the floor. Exploring every corner ensures you leave the docking bay with a perfect score.
