The game is a side-scrolling action platformer with occasional vehicle, flying, and top-down shooting sections. Players switch between Luke, Han, and Chewbacca, each with different weapons and movement traits. Stages combine enemy-heavy combat, traps, precise platforming, and large boss encounters. Progression is linear, with health pickups, weapon support, and stage-specific objectives driving advancement.
