Easy Slicing points
Sneak aboard the Rebel capital ship and wait by the Y-Wing until someone gets in it. Then, use your torch to slice into it. You can cause it to explode if in the air, getting points in the process. Repeat this as many times as needed.
Easy space battle kills
First, ensure that the enemies shields are down, then select a soldier with a blaster rifle. Take a fast ship and fly directly into the docks (it has a blue film over it), land, and get out. All of the enemies will be lightly armed because they are pilots. Open fire. Most will not return fire. Also, most enemy ship have an objective to destroy inside them.
Lock on to a structure such as the life support system or bridge. Make a preliminary strafing run straight along the ship. After passing the target, pull up with full thrusters. When the targeting arrow goes from the front of the screen to the back of the screen, decrease all engine power. Continue pulling back until you see the target. Line up with the target and do a half roll. This maneuver will allow you to make several runs, unloading on the target and avoiding as much enemy fighters as possible.
While in a space battle, take a transport to the enemy's space cruiser for sabotage. Land and make sure no one is in it or they will destroy it. When no one is in it, it will stay there for the rest of the battle. When you die, the transport acts as a command post for your team so you can go into the enemy ship much faster than taking another fighter from your hanger.
This following is a list of the battle ship's weak points.
Auto turrets: Located in the ship's interior Enter the ship's interior and you will see a cylinder shaped console with different monitors. Use two pilot bombs to destroy it.
Life support system: Enter the ship's interior and to the left should be a door. Enter it and you will see a giant blue screen ahead. Destroy it with three bombs.
Engines: Enter the interior, then turn to the right. Go through the door and destroy the four giant glowing tubes with three bombs.
Shields: Run into the interior and move past the auto turret controls. Enter the door, then run down the passage. There should be a giant lightning-filled tube. Place six bombs on the glass. To do this, aim up and touch the glass. Use the following trick to destroy turrets easily. When you start a large space battle, go to the turret stations and get in one. Switch to a turret where you can get a good view of an enemy turret. Zoom in if needed. Once you have a enemy turret in your sight, shoot as much of it as you can before it starts shooting at you (if someone is in it). Once their turret starts shooting at you, immediately get out of your turret and wait about five seconds. Get back in. By this time the turret may have turned back around. Repeat this process as many times as desired, or until all other turrets are out of your view.
Get into restricted part of Mos Eisley
In Mos Eisley Assault, choose someone with a powerful lightsaber drop attack, (when you jump, then attack and come down swinging your lightsaber.) Like Aayla Secura, so spawn at the arena, (hero CP with the skiff.) And run out of the arena through the big door opening and straight ahead should be two houses which corners overlap, force jump on top of their roofs and stand in the corner where the overlap, facing the end of the map, make sure you're standing on air in the corner, and use the lightsaber drop attack until you get down into the end of the map. Hope it works for you!

Jango Fett comment
Select the Kamino map and set the hero counter however desired, okay as CIS, and wait until you can play as Jango Fett. A Clone will exclaim "Its Jango Fett! And he's brought his head!", referring to the scene in Star Wars: Episode II, when he was decapitated during the assault on Geonosis.
Legendary rank bonus weapons
After reaching the Legendary rank in the indicated class, cycle through your weapons to access the new weapon.

4. A message saying "Play it again Han" will appear confirming your code
Mace Windi: Break the ground
Jump and press [Fire]. You should go down and break the ground, sending anyone around you flying as if a grenade just went off.
Playing as a Jedi hero/villain
It may be very easy to kill people as a hero, but there are some special moves and techniques other than the standard saber combos. You can do an extremely deadly and long combination of lightsaber strikes against enemies by Force Running/Sprinting into a group of them and pressing [Attack] while still sprinting. This releases a group of moves that are much deadlier against groups of opponents. This is useful when clearing hallways or passages. You can also do lightsaber combos while Force Jumping by pressing [Attack] in midair. This is useful for killing Jet Troopers as a Jedi or taking a out lightly armored vehicles or any vehicle low on heath that is higher up. You can use the "lightsaber lock" to block enemy fire coming directly at you. Make sure to face your enemies as best as possible to block their fire, and use the crosshair that appears temporarily in this mode to better aim your ranged attacks (Force, lightsaber throw). Instead of running around the map randomly trying to kill anyone you see, find a group of opponents, then activate lightsaber lock to block all their shots as you Force Run at them and then unleash a deadly combo while you are in their midst. Also, some heroes are better than others. Even though you have a limited choice for each map, try to select a team that has a better hero or villain. Some Jedis are much faster and lethal in terms of close combat and lightsaber skill. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, Luke, Pilot Luke, Ki-Adi Mundi, Ayala, Yoda, and Mace Windu are recommended if you like using a lightsaber and running around. Other heroes and villains are much slower with a lightsaber and are not as good at fast or close combat, but are slightly more powerful than the others and have a better understanding of the Force. These characters would include Darth Vader (Force Choke), "The Emperor" Palpatine (Sith Lightning) and Count Dooku. Use a character that best fits your playing style.
Rank list
Earn the indicated number of medals in combat to advance to the next rank.
If there is an ammunition or medical droid on the other side of a thin wall (i.e. in space if you go into another hangar and the main room the thin separator walls between the doors and the droids), it can heal you through the wall. Nobody on the other side can shoot you unless they use a bomb, grenade, rocket, etc., which rarely happens.
Repairing shields
You can always repair your shields. Just use the torch, but do not get too close to the glass or it will not work. This will take awhile, but is helpful. Also on ground battles you can use the torch to slice (hijack) enemy vehicles.

Slow enemies from getting to their ships
Get into a heavy transport (for example, a LAAT Gunship or Droid Gunship). Make sure that no one but you is in it, then fly over to the enemy hangar. Land and get into one of the scout fighters in that hangar (for example, a Jedi Starfighter or Tri-Fighter). Quickly fly back to your capital ship. To do this even more quickly, do the boost, and if the enemy frigates are not destroyed yet, fly out of the hangar, go down a good ways, then level your ship out again. Once you have reached your hangar, land and see if your other transport is there. If it is, get in. Make sure no one is in it but you. Repeat the process described above. If it is not there, either just waste time and wait, or get into a X-Wing or ARC-170. There will now be two of your transports in the enemy ship, and they will spawn many of your men. By doing this, you have bought yourself lots of time to disable the enemy ship. It is important to make sure no one but you is in the ship because if someone else is in there they will not get out when you land; and if you get out, they will take off and crash.
Space Assault time bomb timing
The pilot's time bombs are the most potent explosive for space assault. Use them to destroy the critical systems inside enemy ships.
Autoturret Mainframe: 2 time bombs to destroy.
Engine Cooling System: 3 time bombs to destroy.
Life Support: 3 time bombs to destroy.
Shield Generator: 4 time bombs to destroy.
Note: This assumes the enemy team does not repair the systems being attacked.
Spinning Wookiee
When playing Mos Eisley Assault, (the one with all heroes.) Choose Chewbacca and spawn at the Arena. Then jump off the skiff after you've spawned and go around to the front of the skiff, then stand in front of it and jump into the front, if done correctly Chewie should lose health, die, start to spin on the front of the skiff, and drop infinite health, ammo, and stamina regeneration packs.
Tantive IV: Easier completion
On the mission on the Tantive IV (blockade runner), the first and last objective are very difficult. At the start, once the door explodes open use your thermal detonators and keep using them. Get to the CP and keep dodging bullets and firing while standing near the CP until it is turned to your faction. This may take a few attempts, but it will work. Use Darth Vader after you have captured it. Use a regular Stormtrooper to take care of Leia. She should be around where you started the level. Use your grenades to soften her up then your rifle to finish her off.
TIE Interceptor glitch
When in a space battle that is in the Galactic Civil War Era, choose the Empire and pick either the Pilot or Marine, (it doesn't matter.) Then go over to where the TIE Interceptor is, then sprint to the left or right of the cockpit, (circle in middle of ship.) From the front or the back and you should go through it and run into the ground and die. It's a pretty weird glitch, but I thought I'd share it.
Unlimited hero or villain
Start Instant Action mode, choose your levels, but do not launch. Go down to the options, then go on "Hero". Change the options here as follows: Best Player, 4 Points, and the time for the hero to become available to 4 seconds. Your hero or villain can still die and the meter runs out, but you only need to kill four people for 4 points to unlock the hero or villain again. Also, if you get the points when you are playing as the hero or villain, when you die when playing as the hero or villain they still count as the points; you can pick to play as them immediately.
Go to Instant Action, select your levels, but before you start go to the options menu. Select "Hero" then change options to Best Player, Time Limit 1 second, and the time for hero to become available to "Always". You can start the game selecting the hero, and when you die you can pick them again immediately.
