Star Wars Takeover Guide

Hey everyone! Sorry about the lack of posts over the past couple of days, but ironically a day before the Star Wars Takeover started, my internet went down. It's back up, but very slow so I'll have to do the best I can until Thursday. Anyway, one of the biggest parties Club Penguin has ever had has begun. Let's check out the Star Wars Takeover! When you log in, the 3D Star Wars Takeover video plays. When the video finishes, you'll find yourself on the Millennium Falcon with Princess Leia aka Cadence.

The Death Star has finally arrived at Club Penguin. We have to stop it! A rebel symbol will appear in the top right corner of your screen, which you can use to travel to different planets. But let's check out the costume catalog in the bottom right hand corner first.

There's two items for everyone, and the rest are for members only. There's heaps of cool costumes in here like the Luke Skywalker costume, Chewbacca costume, R2-D2 Puffle hat and, my favorite the Jawa Costume! Now you may be thinking "Where's the Darth Vader costumes?" Don't worry, we'll get to that later. But now it's time to travel across space to Tatooine! If you click the rebel symbol in the top right corner of your screen, this map appears.

Up the top is the map of the galaxy. At the moment, you can only travel to the Millennium Falcon, Tatooine and Club Penguin. Down the bottom, there's a lightsaber. If you're a member, you can train on the path of the Jedi under master Obi-Wan Sensei! He'll give you your first lightsaber (Anakin's Lightsaber), and you can begin your training! You can battle other Jedi or the evil Sith. Here's how to do it. You can be anywhere, and be wearing anything, but you must have your lightsaber in hand and press "D." Or you can wait for someone else to do it.

If you press D, you have to wait for someone to battle you. If someone else has pressed D, just click on one of the circles to begin the battle!

It's sort of like a game of rock, paper, scissors. You have to choose whether to swing you lightsaber up, in front or down. If you win, you get twenty points. If you draw or lose, you get ten points.

You have to get a certain amount of points to unlock each item. The final items are the Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader costumes, which you need to get 30 wins to unlock. Now, let's explore Tatooine!

You can visit many iconic locations on Tatooine such as the Jawa's Sandcrawler.

Owen and Beru Lars' house.

And the Mos Eisley Cantina.

But sightseeing can wait, because the reason we've come to Tatooine is to rid it of evil! Tatooine has been invaded by the Emperor's soldier, Stormtroopers! Click on the map in the bottom left corner and click on one of the Stormtrooper icons.

There's three levels you can play if you're a member. Non-members can only play the first level.

This mini-game is pretty simple to play. You play as Han Solo. You aim and click the mouse to shoot snowballs, and you press spacebar to duck and roll from side to side. Your aim is to shoot the Stormtroopers while avoiding being shot back. 

The big metal cases which you hide behind will slowly start to break as they get shot by the Stormtroopers.

If a case is destroyed, you have to wait until the R2-D2 Puffle comes and repairs it.

Once you've shot a Stormtrooper, you can shoot them again while they're in the air for more points. The more points you earn, the more coins you get at the end of the game. If your cover is destroyed and you get shot, it's game over!

At the very end of the level, there's a Captain Stormtrooper you have to shoot. He has a life bar, so you'll have to shoot him more than once.

In levels 2 and 3, he'll start to move around and throw thermal detonators.

To avoid them, just roll the the opposite side to them. But beware, they do a lot of damage to your cover! And if you're on the same side as them when they blow, it's game over as well! Once you've beaten the Captain Stormtrooper, you'll get coins depending on how many points you got and your Stormtrooper Costume item! If you wear the whole costume and throw a snowball, you throw a laser bolt!

Hooray! We've saved Tatooine from the Empire! On August the 1st, we'll be able to infiltrate the Death Star itself and buy some new costumes! There are also three new emotes: An Empire symbol, a Rebel symbol and a green Lightsaber.

And that's it for the Star Wars Takeover so far! Tune in on August the 1st on how to destroy the menacing Death Star!

Waddle on!
