The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Each stage asks the player to move through linear environments, defeat battle droids, Separatist forces, and other enemies, avoid hazards, and reach the end of the level.

Anakin and Obi-Wan use lightsaber attacks and Force powers, while some stages include boss encounters and platforming challenges. Progress follows the film's story through a sequence of missions rather than an open world, with difficulty coming mainly from enemy groups, hazards, and timing.

Learn the timing of lightsaber attacks instead of rushing into groups. Use Force abilities against clustered enemies or dangerous targets, and keep moving when ranged enemies control the screen.

Against bosses, study their attack patterns and punish the short openings after they finish an attack. On platforming sections, wait for moving hazards to complete their cycles before advancing.
