Secret Glitch Resurgence Fuels Speedrunning Interest Across Platforms
How to Escape the Death Star in Lego Star Wars (Secret Glitch) is a sequence of moves that breaks the level routine. This trick uses hitbox quirks and rolling to clip you outside the death star boundary. Studies indicate frame perfect inputs make escap ing reliable on newer builds.
Why the Glitch Works So Consistently
Trigger a roll during a specific explosion frame to desync collision. Research shows this redirects your character hitbox into empty grid space. Once outside, pathfinding defaults to the main objective, skipping cutscenes.
Simple Setup for Repetition
Press jump, attack, and dash in quick succession near blast doors. Hold forward and use the force to steer through narrow gaps. This method keeps momentum stable across attempts.
One-line takeaway: Master timing and directional input to push the escape window wide open and finish missions faster.
