Playable characters are from the Original Trilogy of the Star Wars saga (Episodes IV, V, and VI), including Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Ben Kenobi, Chewbacca, Boba Fett, Princess Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader, and Emperor Palpatine. If a player has a saved game from LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, then 46 of the characters from the last game will be available, excluding those unlocked in the bonus level (Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Stormtrooper, and Rebel Trooper) and C-3PO, R2-D2, Yoda, Chewbacca, Darth Sidious, and Gonk Droid, as they are characters that also appear in the Original Trilogy time frame, and must be unlocked conventionally. However, this ability must be purchased for 250,000 studs first. When a player unlocks a character from the standard game, they also unlock its LEGO Bricks which can be used to make custom characters. According to LucasArts, this adds up to over 1,000,000 character combinations.

During E3 2006, it was confirmed that 50 characters will be unlocked by playing through story mode. The rest have to be purchased using studs, the game's currency. All of these characters can be used to create a custom character which is made up of a combination of 9 pieces (Hat, head, body, cape, arms, hands, weapon, hip and legs) except, of course, those who don´t have any. Some characters have a limited amount of pieces usable in Customization Mode, such as those with an irregular head (such as Yoda or Greedo). In those cases, the character cannot wear a hat or helmet.

Main characters[edit]

The main characters in the game can be obtainable via playing story mode or buying them at the Mos Eisley Cantina. There are also codes one can enter at the Mos Eisley Cantina, which unlock characters for purchase. The full list is shown below.

Custom characters[edit]

The last two characters in the character selection screen are custom characters, which can be assembled in the Mos Eisley Cantina. Not every character's body, arms, weapon, head, or hat is usable; for example, there is no Darth Vader body or head—only his helmet; also, there are no axes, spears, dual blasters, double-bladed lightsabers, or rifle blasters. The cape option doesn't encompass backpacks, and as such, there are no rocket packs. A character's head or hat and what they have in their hand dictates their powers, with a few exceptions—using the Emperor's head will not give the character Force Lightning and giving them Darth Vader's helmet may not give them the ability to open Storm Trooper Doors, for example.

Extra characters[edit]

Many more characters are obtainable from two extras the player can buy: Extra Toggle for 30,000 studs, and Use Old Save for 250,000 studs.
