Within the game, players assume control of one of the following four characters: Anakin Skywalker, Asajj Ventress, Count Dooku, or Obi-Wan Kenobi. Players have the ability to make their character jump, utilize Force Push, and execute various attacks using a lightsaber. Each character starts with three lives, and their remaining health is displayed in a meter located in the upper-left corner. Health is depleted by enemy attacks or hazardous obstacles, but it can be replenished at specific points within the game. Throughout the game, players can collect crystals to accumulate points. Yellow crystals provide two points each, while red crystals are worth five. Blue crystals are awarded upon defeating enemies. At the conclusion of each level, players receive a final score that is determined by the number of remaining lives, the quantity of crystals collected, and the speed at which the level was completed. In certain levels, platinum 2x2 bricks, which are comparable to the red bricks found in the _LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy and _LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga games, can be found and collected. These bricks can be used to enhance the player's stamina and abilities, such as their health, jumping prowess, and the damage output of their lightsaber(s).
The game's training level begins with Anakin Skywalker being located on an enemy starship. Skywalker must battle his way through battle droids and evade dangerous security lasers in order to reach the ship's exit. Upon reaching the end, he destroys a transmission terminal and makes his escape.
