How to Use Jedi Mind Tricks in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

As you begin your journey through LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, you'll most likely start with episode 4, A New Hope, though you can choose one of the other trilogies as well. If you choose one of the other trilogies, you can look for the same prompt above your chosen enemy. In episode 4, you will play as Leia and Luke first, as well as Ben Kenobi. Before you can use Jedi Mind Tricks, you will first need to make sure you are using the right character. Often, while playing through the game, you'll be with a group of characters, and you can swap between them.

As you arrive in Mos Eisley for the first time with Luke and Ben Kenobi, you'll be able to explore the new area and pick up new items and take on Stormtrooper enemies. There will be one particular Stormtrooper enemy here that you can find by following the glowing yellow spots on the ground. You'll arrive at the spot shown in the first image above, with a Stormtrooper hidden behind a red gate. Here's what you'll need to do to use some Jedi Mind Tricks on him:

Start by approaching the Stormtrooper, and he will tell you to show some identification.
You'll notice a blue Lego head symbol above him. This means you can use Jedi Mind Tricks on him.
Since Luke doesn't have Jedi abilities at this point, you'll want to swap over to Ben Kenobi.
Now, a prompt will appear above the Stormtrooper that will allow you to use Mind Tricks on him. Press this button, and you'll now take over the Stormtrooper after choosing 'Influence'.
As the Stormtrooper, head over to the red terminal on the right. To open the gate, press the four symbols that appear on the screen.
The gate will then open, and you'll now have access to this new section of Mos Eisley.

Whenever you see the blue Lego head prompt above any enemy's head in the future, this will mean you will have the chance to use Jedi Mind Tricks again. You won't be able to use it on every enemy, unfortunately, especially not some of the powerful bosses like Darth Vader. There are three different types of Jedi Mind Tricks as well, including Influence, Distract, and Panic. Influence allows you to take the character over, Distract will prevent the enemy from attacking you, and Panic will cause enemies to attack each other.

How to Upgrade Jedi Mind Tricks in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Jedi Mind Tricks can also have their abilities increased so they are more effective against the enemy. To upgrade these, here is what you'll need to do:

Start by going to the Upgrades tab and choose the Jedi class.
There will be two options that allow you to upgrade your Jedi Mind Tricks, including:
- Trick Time: This extends the duration of Distract and Panic, making enemies confused for a longer period of time.
- Mind Master: This extends the range of Distract and Panic, meaning you won't have to approach enemies as closely to activate the Mind Trick.

These upgrades are extremely useful if you want to use Jedi Mind Tricks frequently, and they will give you the chance to more sneakily approach your opponents and get an advantage over them.
