The 2022 hit LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga may feature updated versions of all nine films, but there’s a certain charm to revisiting the game that started it all, the prequel-celebrating LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game.
Released all the way back in 2005 along with Revenge of the Sith, this retelling of the prequel trilogy pioneered the classic LEGO gameplay that all subsequent games would follow, including collectable characters, free play levels and a unique sense of humour.
Despite being the very first game in the long series, LEGO Star Wars’ take on the prequel trilogy still featured cheats – so here’s a full list of codes and how to see them.
Important note: this article is about 2005’s LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, which was also included in 2007’s LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. See our separate guide to LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga cheats if you’re playing the most recent game in this series.
How to use cheats in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game
Dexter Jettster fans will be pleased to know that using cheats in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game requires a trip to the counter in the Dexter’s Diner hub, where all you have to do is select ‘Enter Code’ at the end of the menu. From there simply type out your desired code and hit the select button – if successful, the name of what you unlocked should then flash on screen!
Bear in mind that any extras you unlock can be used straight away, but characters still need to be purchased from Dexter.
These cheats are built into the game as a bit of fun, so there’s no need to worry – you won’t be penalised for using these codes!
