Time saving tips

[DeadManFloats]

Just wanted to share a couple ways to save time for platinum'ing this game.

 

The first tip is for when you are ready to start getting all challenges and minikits in the story mode sections.  Whatever free-roam section you use to enter the areas, make sure it is not an area that you taxi into.  For a few episodes I was in general Coruscant, and every time I finished a level, whether done or not, I had to go through the taxi scene entering and my character walking off, about 10 seconds each time.  Find a place like the Jedi Temple, or even the casino should work.  Your characters will simply walk in for all of 2 seconds or so and you can then get right back into the menus to choose your next chapter.

 

Second is for getting the annoying challenge Snow Joke in episode 7 'Destroying Starkiller'.  This is a one-chance per run challenge, if you fail you need to start over.  This entails an arena dogfight followed by a trench run before getting to the last section of the snowy forest where you need to duel Kylo Ren.  Instead of leaving the level or finishing the battle if you miss, go to the dashboard, close the game, restart it and load up your game file.  It'll put you back in the forest section, though at the beginning, but you still save time.
