Lego Star Wars: The Video Game/Controls
From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki
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.

Force/special move. Jedis and Siths use the Force, characters with blasters can grapple, and some drones can open certain doors, marked with their face. |

Move. The ship automatically moves so you have little real control over it, but you still have to move a little to dodge things. |
