The Lego Star Wars Glitch EVERYONE Missed

Lego Star Wars was a staple of my generation's childhood.
It's also a bit janky and buggy in that special mid 2000s licensed game way.
But despite the long and storied history of glitch-hunting in these games, there is always more to discover and document. And I think I've discovered something that very few others online have.
UPDATE:
I have received anecdotal confirmation that it works in the PS2, PSP, and Xbox 360 versions of Lego Star Wars 2!
But I have received footage confirming that this glitch is NOT present in the Wii version of The Complete Saga!
Thank you to Sock Monster Simian for testing this!
Source: • Testing the "Ride Clon...
Plus we have testimony in the comments of it not working on the Xbox 360 and PS3 Complete Saga. Sadly, it likely does not exist on any Complete Saga release!
Thank you to everyone who participated!

Spoiler alert: the "ride clone" glitch doesn't work on the Wii version of The Complete Saga. I'm not sure if I can post links (tried, but my comments just didn't show), so just go to my channel page if you want to see the video evidence. It's the only video, 'cause I've never posted before. (You might want to turn on CC. I'm a little quiet in the vid.) It didn't do nothing. But it isn't as flashy or fun to play with.

[@brosephlacasquevtuber]

Thanks a ton for testing it anyway!

[@Sock-Monster-Simian]

@@brosephlacasquevtuber You're welcome. It was a lot of fun booting up the Wii again, even if just for like 10 minutes before I had to get back to work. I think it's been about 12 years since I last played it. I was super rusty, and had no idea what any of the controls did. I'm just glad my save file was far enough along that I could easily test out the bug.

Can confirm that ride cloning works on the PS2 version. I remember finding it as a kid using the dark-side pit in the center of the room and thinking it was super funny. Not even really sure why I fell in there at all considering today is my first time learning about the droid riding glitch.

[@vincentadamsvga]

No idea what glitches are or aren't known but I've got some to share. In Episode I Chapter 5 (Retake Theed Palace), the table and silverware set up that needs to be destroyed for a red brick is composed of a lot of individual objects that burst into various smoke particles and studs among others things. Somehow one time me and my brother overloaded the game or something breaking most if not all of it at once with nothing but a Jedi slam in Story mode as all of the graphics got screwed up. Everything became textureless and instead nothing but flat colors and lighting on everything. It looked like viewing something through some sort of modelling program without the textures. I'm not sure if it did but I think all sounds and music stopped playing as well. We continued through the level despite the oddity and when we reached the end the game crashed or something, because I remember we had to replay the level which I wasn't happy with because of it. (Episode I Chapter 5 is one of my least favorite levels.) The second was in Episode I Chapter 6 (Darth Maul) in the the reactor room with the Commander Battle Droids that have to be defeated to continue. We were fighting with the camera trying to pull it one way or anther, and I guess the camera had enough of our tugging because someway somehow I got snapped to the bottom of the level. And I do mean the bottom, below the platforms and even below the death barrier. The camera focused on me and the distance was great enough to force P2 to drop out, of which respawned down at the bottom with me before automatically rejoining P2 upon returning on screen. We were stuck and had to restart that level too. Both of this and the Chapter 5 thing happened during the same playthrough. I don't what we were doing to piss the game off so much but for two levels in a row we had to end up replaying them because something went horribly wrong. Next is something that's happened multiple times and that's the Episode III Chapter 3 (General Grievous) never ending. I only recall it happening during Story and it's that sometimes if I maneuvered just right using one of the explosive barrels' force path I could jump across to the cliff the path would lead it to and be able to enter the red brick room when I shouldn't be able to seeing as it's meant to be Free Play only. For whatever reason sometimes it just makes it so that the level doesn't end after getting Grievous down to zero hearts. In my most recent playthrough of TCS, while in Episode III Chapter 6 (Darth Vader), there was one point where P2 just despawned or was suddenly shifted somewhere off screen or out bounds. It was at the part right before the final lava platforming section where one player has to hold back a wall of hot smoke so the other can pass and deactivate it. I went through it as a droid and then player 2 went to do the same without becoming a droid and instead of resetting the segment after they died from it they just instantly disappeared upon the death noise playing. The stage also stopped falling apart after that which let me take all the time I wanted. Once I finished the segment and entered the next area P2 was back and the stage continued falling apart as usual, as if nothing had happened in the previous room. Later during that same playthrough while in Super Story Episode IV Chapter 4 (Rescue the Princess), I went up and took out all the Stormtroopers and Imperial Guards in a rush and ended up also unintentionally attacking Ben Kenobi from how close I got to him since he had stopped in place to deflect some of my blasts. I rushed into the next room and then he wasn't showing up at the tractor beam generator to place the bridge for me. Thinking I had somehow screwed up the NPC Ben and won myself a restart of a Super Story, I started backtracking and looking around to see if there was anyway of fixing it. After a couple laps around the accessible areas I returned to the tractor beam generator only for the bridge to be placed, despite the fact that NPC Ben had completely disappeared after I had hastily blasted and rushed to that area. I have no idea what happened or if NPC Ben was even still active or somehow died or despawned because of how I stalled him while rushing, but either he somehow got off track or respawned and eventually took care of the bridge while I wasn't there or the game had a failsafe that activated, toggling the bridge and whatnot since Ben hadn't after so long so that I wasn't softlocked. Something that only happened once a really long time ago (very likely over a decade ago by now) in Episode V Chapter III (Asteroid Flight). One time while in the space worm hidden inside a crater you have to enter for torpedoes, I somehow got past the loading zone and instead continued outside of its mouth instead of being taken back outside the crater. Gravity took effect seeing as there was no more invisible terrain for the Millennium Falcon to hover over on and I very quickly plummeted downwards with no death barrier or anything to stop me travelling down endlessly at a ridiculous speed. The definitely not supposed to be viewed from outside space worm slowly disappeared up above I travelled at high speeds farther down endlessly out of bounds. A softlock that freaked me out because seeing the space worm in full like that just looked wrong to me. There was one point in time that certain glitches gave me this feeling of disgust, and not the petty emotion kind, but a discomforting bodily and mental feeling as if I was looking at something horrifyingly grotesque. It mainly happened when it came to clipping or any form of seeing models "explode" where they being to freak out in size and/or their vertexes or whatever part of their surfaces contort into various shapes like spiky protrusions and what not. I had some modded Minecraft worlds on an old laptop that somehow ran into severe problems like that sometimes and it really freaked me out clipping through all of the uninteractable terrain and watching all of the mobs' models contort and freak out like that while also clipping through and inside them as I flew around in Creative. Felt like body horror to me. All I could was imagine how all of that would feel in real life, which was nothing but a terrifying thought to go through. I'm really not bothered by stuff like that in such an extreme way anymore, but just thinking about it sometimes still feels wrong. Stuff like seeing that space worm the wrong way and what not were very unpleasant experiences and idea of that in real life is still a horrifying one to me. Horrors beyond my 8 year old mind's comprehension is not where I thought this was going to go but it sure did happen. Finally, in Episode I Chapter 7 (Anakin's Flight) I ran into a softlock where the reactor core "boss" screwed up and spawned to rotating shield layers at once. Only one disappeared but the other remained up and stationary. Because the extra was still up and the game was waiting for me to destroy some of the targets around the "boss", of which is shielded itself by a small ring while any other shield is up, I couldn't destroy any and was softlocked. At least it was a why not useless Free Play run and at the end of the level so I had no issues exiting without actually finishing the level. And as a bonus that is probably already known about in LWII specifically. In Episode VI Chapter 5 (Jedi Destiny), the entire southern strip of the red Free Play bonus room has no collision, letting all studs and players fall right through to the death barrier. Included is the ability to save yourself by turning around after falling and jumping back up through the various glitchy layers of collision below the ground found in every level of the classic LEGO games if you somehow manage to get yourself out of bounds and underneath of a ground surface. Second bonus is that there was one time I chose online in TCS because why not and spawned in the Mos Eisely Cantina as one of the two cars you can find outside, similar to what you did with the vehicles in this video. No idea how or why, but it would consistently happen upon joining a specific server (of which I was player 2 and player 1 remained entirely inactive.) I think I was actually solely the car unlike the vehicle glitch in this video because I couldn't exit the vehicle in any way as far as I remember. I'm surprised all of this is even possible, as strange and specific as these things are. Episode II seems to have been spared from all of these game breaking moments. Perhaps I just haven't found them yet though. It's not much but there is a minor visual error I found in Episode II Chapter 2 (Discovery on Kamino) where if you let the broom in the first interior room go as far as possible without either you or it going off screen and automatically cancelling the force, sometimes the camera seems to get confused somehow and thinks you're outside again because the rain particles will reactive once the camera is stretched out. The rain will disappear when the camera begins to refocus on the player but the visual error is easily repeatable as much as you'd like as long as you don't let the broom complete its path.) That was a lot of stuff, but maybe some of it's unknown and very specific too. To me some of them seem unknown seeing as I have never seen them mentioned before but for all I know they've all been readily discovered and documented for all too see. I didn't intend for this to become essay length but for anyone who does end up reading this, hopefully at least some of it was interesting if they are unknown and very specific things that people are unaware of. I'd like to know if at least one is, because it can certainly be unique to be the only one to know about or to have experienced a very specific glitch or error prior to talking about it.

This glitch was definitely on KZbin before because I remember copying it as a kid, it was using the pit inside the room where Luke is found in Story, using the Dark Side to open it up. It's cool to see this glitch again, and yeah you're right about it being possible in other levels because I remember doing it with the Car in Secret Plans. I'm pretty sure they patched the glitch in The Complete Sega but should be possible in every version of LEGO Star Wars 2.

I am very sad to say it does not work on The Complete Saga on Xbox. Whenever you fall off of a cliff and switch characters (regardless of if that character can ride it or not), even if you switch back to the character you fell off in the first place with, your character (after they die) will just teleport to the last place you stood on the actual ground before mounting the spider. Seriously a real shame.
