My husband completed this game alone and it took him quite awhile to get the undefeated flying achievements.  I am now working on achievements for this game and some of the first ones I've gotten were the undefeated flying ones because apparently playing it with 2 players is much easier (so says my husband!).  Twice the number of hearts fall and I was able to get the unlocks literally the 1st or 2nd try.

Hope this helps someone out there!

I didn't think you could do these acheivements with help.  Do you BOTH have to go undefeated it one doesn't have the achievement already?  Hmmm...  I tried Escape from the Death Star with my son and made him be the sacrifcial lamb while I was untouched.  I didn't get the achievement.  Then I ended up completing it with a ghost.

Yes you both have to stay undefeated.  Sorry I should have added that.  The thing that made it easier was the amount of hearts that dropped. 

Great thread & posts folks, not played for months cos I was fed up with the 4 flying undeafeted APs, so lent it to a new egg box owner and he got equally frustrated gettin em too. Found this thread this morning, 40 mins later 3 down 1 left, and just text him an is he spewing......Gonna try tonight at work........

First off very cool gamer pic, I'll have to remember to download those off the marketplace soon.  Last night I finally got the falcon slight and hoth flying achievements.  Only one that I have left is Death Star II.  I'm gonna try that rubber band tirck and also try to get a second person to help me out.  I'll post if I make it!

These are pretty hard for me too. Even if you use an invisible character it won't matter because they see your vehicle. Once i got to like 30 seconds from the end on hoth and died. It ticked me off.

At least your game didn't freeze flying out of the death star. That happened to me... I was jumping up and down out of excitement and the game completely froze on me. I was so disheartened.

for the rubber band trick, is it hold down shoot (x) or barrel roll (a)?

I got the Speeder Showdown in the same manner as described....use a ghost character and just fly really slow when your on the speeder.  I found that the only way I lost hearts was smashing into the trees you can't shoot...so I just made sure to fly slow in those sections.  There really only is one or two sections that is hard to navigate through.....always held the fire button down, the entire time.

I got Falcon Flight in the described manner...fly through and only blow up rocks to get bombs or hearts.  I think I got through the level in like 10 minutes.  The hardest part is the end, with the big rock, but I just flew in really small circles right by the rock...because there are two small rocks that spawn there...so shoot those to get your purple torpedos.

I have not been able to pass Hoth or DS2 yet...but am excited by two pieces of information I learned through reading this post.  One, the rubber band on "x"...and also the "a" button....I was completely unaware that it made you barral role.  I'm figuring those two hints will get me through the DS2 level...as well as your ship selection.  I tried the Boba Fett ship last night and it did really well in the outside section with the Star Destroyers...behaved very similarly to a ghost ship...I just seemed not to get hit.  It was not as useful inside the tubes before you enter the core.  I'm going to try the Tie Interceptor as recommended.  It seems that there is two ships of choice for the core...the Tie Interceptor of the Millenium Falcon.  I think I'll try the Falcon as I hate that ship, but it seems to do well with multiple bogeys.  And then it sounds like the Tie Interceptor or Y-fighter is recommended for the exit out of the exploding death star.

On Hoth, the only problem for me is the portion where you have multiple enemy targets.  I can shoot down the first wave of drones...and the second wave of 2-leggers....and the first wave of 4-leggers (this section has been problematic though on about 50% of my attempts)...it is just that mixed wave that is causing me problems.  Seems, as was posted, that the spawns are most intense on this section of the game.  I am anxious to try the strategy that was suggested...take out all drones and 2-leggers first as they do not respawn.

Wish me luck...these are the last 2 achievements for this game

I forgot to post this, but I finally got the achievement about 3 weeks ago.  I was pretty damn excited about...now I've moved on to the Complete Saga and that game is incredible. 

First time I saw these achievments I thought they were impossible. but over time especially yesterday I got Falcon Flight and Hoth Battle. The that bugs that and you is the last one and it is the only one left to do. I guess luck will play a big part and skill. I'll reply back if i get it.....

Two questions

1) other than not pushing forward on the stick, is there a reliable way to slow down on the speeder? I keep hitting the one of the trees in like the first bend.

2) how do you make the falcon shoot backwards?

I think i'll focus on getting speeder and falcon..the other two are just to much of a pain right now. I just know the core is a beotch and if i make it all the way in there, and then die..i'll be super-ticked.  Dont need the hit to the blood pressure

I finally got all the achievements! My tips for the flying achievements and speeder achievements are taking it slow. If you lose 1 heart get it back up to 4 but don't panic. For the hoth battle - you are pretty much stuck with the snow speeder for 90% of the level :( but when you can use the Tie Interceptor For the death star - use the Tie Interceptor all the way until you get to the core then its the Millennium Falcon all the way - taking it slow and shooting the cable computers head on. (I used all Millennium Falcon to get out of the death star too)
