Important information
You should find secrets available in this mission in the free roaming game mode, after you unlock a wide variety of playable characters. Only some of the collectibles described below can be obtained while completing this level for the first time (in the story mode).
What's also important is that not all secrets in this mission can be collected by using the characters unlocked by completing the main story plot. Minikit number 6 requires a character that is able to swim. It can be Admiral Ackbar unlocked by completing the side mission "Poe to the Rescue". The second troublesome minikit is the one number 8. It will require you to have a character that can destroy golden objects. You can use for that the Stormtrooper Heavy who can be bought.
You must journey for minikits 7 and 8 BEFORE you run to the closest cover and start the blaster battle. You won't be able to return for them after winning the battle.
In addition to obtaining secrets you can try receiving the True Jedi title. It is given to you if you manage to collect at least 65000 studs during the mission.
Minikit 1/10
Special requirements: none
Location and how to unlock: Minikit can be obtained in the story mode or in the free roaming mode. Reach the upper left ledge just after the mission starts. Select Varond Jelik or any other character with a stick and place the stick in the slot marked on the picture. Keep jumping until you reach a new high ledge. There you will find an interactive handle which you must hang on as any character with a grappling hook. Pulling the handle will trigger pieces of Minikit to appear. All you have to do is to combine them into one.
Minikit 2/10
Special requirements: a character that controls the Dark Side of the Force (for example Darth Vader)
Location and how to unlock: Minikit can be found on the right from the place where the mission started. Select any Dark Side user and use the Force to get rid of a group of bricks which protect access to the stash with the Minikit.
Minikit 3/10
Special requirements: a character that controls the Light Side of the Force (for example Luke)
Location and how to unlock: You will have chance for obtaining this Minikit while traveling through the partially flooded caves in the beginning of the level. While traveling through the caves, play as a character that controls the Light Side of the Force, for example as Luke Skywalker. You must use the Force on the five yellow-orange flowers. Some of them are shown on the above picture. It is hard to miss the flowers, so you shouldn't have trouble with obtaining the Minikit.
Minikit 4/10
Special requirements: a character that can use small hatches (for example BB-8)
Location and how to unlock: Minikit can be obtained soon after reaching the small waterfall at which you can find construction bricks. Use these bricks in order to build a climbing wall on the right side. Once you reach the upper ledge, destroy the objects on the right side and uncover the small hatch marked on the picture. Walk through the hatch, for example while playing as BB-8. You will be moved to the right upper ledge with the secret.
Red LEGO brick
Reward for obtaining the brick: Fast Force
Special requirements: none
Location and how to unlock: The red LEGO brick can be obtained in the free roaming mode and in story mode. After Chewbacca or other character uses the handle, reach the upper ledge and take interest in the well hidden left passage shown on the picture. Use that passage to reach a separate area. The linear path will lead you here to the red brick.
Minikit 5/10
Special requirements: none
Location and how to unlock: The Minikit can be obtained in story mode or in free roaming mode. You must reach the construction bricks which can be found soon after using the path behind the waterfall. Use these bricks to build objects on the right side (as shown on the above picture). Wait for small creatures to appear and start jumping on them in order to reach the upper niche with the Minikit.
Minikit 6/10
Special requirements: a character that can swim (for example Admiral Ackbar)
Location and how to unlock: You can take care of obtaining this Minikit soon after obtaining the fifth one described above. This time you must build a road to the upper left ledge. Before you go to the objects visible far away, find the water tank on the left side. You can jump into the water for example as Admiral Ackbar. The character you use must pick up pieces of Minikit.
Minikit 7/10
Special requirements: a character that controls the Force (for example Luke or Darth Vader)
Location and how to unlock: You can start obtaining this Minikit once you reach the area where the blaster battle takes place. DON'T GO towards the closest cover - you must obtain the secret BEFORE the battle starts. Go to the left. Use the light or the dark side of the Force on the flower shown on the above picture. The flower will open and you will gain access to the secret.
Minikit 8/10
Special requirements: a character that can destroy golden objects (for example the stormtrooper with a heave blaster)
Location and how to unlock: Minikit is located in the same area as the above described seventh one. In this case you also mustn't start the blaster battle too soon. Instead of that, you must examine the area on the left side. Take interest in the golden rocks shown on the picture and shoot them, for example with the heave blaster of the elite stormtrooper.
Minikit 9/10
Special requirements: none
Location and how to unlock: Minikit can be obtained in story mode or in free roaming mode. You can get it during the blaster battle. You must hit five blue bombs and cause them to explode (use manual aiming). Three bombs can be found during the first part of the battle and an example object of that type is shown on the above picture.
Two remaining bombs can be found once you reach the second part of the blaster battle (unlocking the ladder and the higher ledge). The bomb that is hardest to found is in the place marked on the picture.
Minikit 10/10
Special requirements: none
Location and how to unlock: Minikit can be obtained in story mode and in free roaming mode. Once you win the blaster battle, don't complete the activities that will seal the rathtar cage and ignore the final opponents. Focus only on using the grappling hook on the left handle.
