LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game/Controls

There are three game modes in the game - normal, 3D starfighter, and 2D starfighter. Most levels use normal controls. A few levels use the 3D starfighter controls, and one (or two?) use(s) 2D.

With starfighter controls, you don't use a character, you use a ship. With normal controls, you use a character. Different characters are slightly different - some can't do certain things, others can do special things, some have a special weapon, some have no weapon.
