Important information
It is best to try to find collectibles in this chapter in the free game mode, only after you have unlocked a greater number of playable characters. Only several of those collectibles can be found while playing this chapter for the first time (in the story mode).
A very important piece of information is that some of the collectibles cannot be obtained only with characters that you have obtained in the story mode. The first one of such collectibles is the red LEGO brick. It is behind a cracked wall and to obtain it, you need a character that can ram through cracked walls. Open the window of the available characters and buy e.g. Grummgar (the above screenshot) or Wampa.
Another collectible that is more difficult to obtain is minikit 5. it is on the balcony that you can only reach as a character equipped with jetpack. One of the characters that has it is Athgar Heece and you can obtain him after you complete the "Return of Lor San Tekka" side mission. The last one of the problematic collectibles is minikit 2. To obtain it, you need a character that can swim, e.g. Admiral Ackbar, who becomes available after you complete the "Poe to the rescue" side mission.
Apart from obtaining the collectibles, you can try to obtain the title of the True Jedi. It is awarded in this mission "Maz's Castle" after you collect, at least 100000 studs.
