The Game

Return of the Jedi picks up the action of the film at the 

scene where the rebel forces begin their attack on the 

Imperial Deathstar. Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia race 

toward a pair of speeder bikes.

	In this first wave the player controls Leia. Guiding 

her through a forest toward the Ewok village. She is 

pursued by Imperial Stormtroopers also riding speeder 

bikes. She defends herself either by bumping them off 

their bikes, or shooting them. Meanwhile, the Ewoks have 

set up traps to aid Leia in her flight through the forest 

of Endor. The traps include ropes stretched between trees 

that the Ewoks pull tight to upend the riders, and logs 

that the Ewoks push together to crush the speeder bikes 

as they pass between them. Leia can either bump off the 

Stormtroopers or lead the through the traps. The first 

vehicle through a trap will escape uninjured, but anyone 

who follows will be destroyed.

	Once the player leaves Leia safely at the Ewok 

village, he/she moves to another part of the forest. 

During the second wave, the player controls Chewbacca, 

who is manoeuvring a Scout Walker to the bunker where Han 

Solo is waiting to deactivate the shield protecting the 

Death Star. Chewbacca must shoot or avoid logs, which 

roll toward him. At the same time, Chewbacca must avoid 

rocks catapulted at his scout walker.

	As soon as Chewbacca gets to the bunker, Han Solo 

blows it up, deactivating the protective shield 

surrounding the Death Star and clearing the path for the 

Millennium Falcon. The Millenium Falcon must enter the 

Death Star, travel down a tube toward the reactor, and 

shoot the central rector to destroy the Death Star.

	The Falcon is pursued by T.I.E. Fighters while in 

the tube. Lando must avoid the pipe walls of the tube and 

watch out for falling pipes, energy gates and turrets 

that shoot at the Falcon. Upon reaching the target, the 

player must shoot the reactor energy field, then 

immediately turn around and fly back down the tube. The 

flight must be rapid because the fireball caused by the 

explosion pursues the Falcon.

	The split wave effect occurs during waves two and 

three. The player controls Chewbacca in the Scout Walker, 

and at the same time, controls Lando Calrissian as he 

flies the Millennium Falcon. At crucial moments, the 

scene will change from the forest of Endor to the skies 

around the Death Star.

	While Chewbacca is attempting to reach the bunker, 

Lando Calrissian is flying the Millennium Falcon toward 

the Death Star. Lando must fight off the Imperial T.I.E. 

Fighters, Imperial Star Cruisers, and shuttles. The 

player manoeuvres the Falcon through this traffic, while 

trying to shoot as many Imperial enemies as possible.



Hints for Gameplay

o Do not allow enemies to tail you for too long. This is 

  how they can destroy you

o Lead enemies to the top of the screen, then drop back 

  quickly so you can destroy them.

o The player must try to be the first through the Ewok 

  traps in the forest of Endor.

o By staying in the centre of the screen, the player has 

  more manoeuvrability.



Control

The Speeder Bike, Millenium Falcon and Scout Walker can 

be controlled using the Joystick. Amstrad and Spectrum 

users may use the keyboard instead. The appropriate key 

controls are shown after loading, and can be redefined as 

necessary. Choose your control option if necessary once 

the game has loaded.



Choosing the Level of difficulty.

At the start of each new game, you have the option to 

choose between starting at level 1, 3 or 5 with 

appropriate bonus scores for each. Beginners are 

recommended to start at level 1. To choose the starting 

level, simply point the cursor at the appropriate icon 

and then press fire.



Good luck and once again, may the Force be with you! 

Always.
