Step 1: Play through story mode.
Story mode is essentially a series of rooms through which you must advance.
Some rooms include some sort of puzzle that must be worked out in order to enter the next room.
Many gamers derive a great deal of satisfaction from figuring out how to get through a level with as little guidance as possible, but if you are completely frustrated and you just want to know how to get past a particular obstacle, then there are many detailed walkthrough available elsewhere on the Internet; for example, A FAQ/Walkthrough by Scott "CyricZ" Zdankiewicz, published at Game FAQs, Access date: 2008 Jun

Upon completion of each chapter, you will be awarded one gold brick; you will unlock freeplay for that chapter, and you will unlock the characters featured in that chapter.
Some characters will become immediately available to you while others will be available to purchase in the Cantina.
See below for a handy reference table of playable characters. -
Step 2: Play for points.
Points are awarded in the form of Lego studs.
Silver studs are worth 10 points, gold studs are worth 100 points, blue studs are worth 1000 points and purple studs are worth 10,000 points.
Studs are generally awarded when you destroy some piece of the scenery, but they can also be found laying on the ground like bread crumbs leading to the next challenge.
Each chapter has a set number of points which must be obtained in order to achieve the status of True Jedi.
A gold brick will be awarded if you achieve True Jedi and complete the mission.
See below for a handy reference table of how many points are required at each level.
If you are having trouble winning as many points as you would like, try these strategies.
Blow up everything you see.
Take the time to wander around each area destroying everything.
Stay alive.
You lose studs when your character dies.
Avoid dying by taking care to collect red heart charms to restore your health or by activating the invincibility extra.
You can also decrease the effect of your death by turning off the extra called adaptive difficulty.
