I finally finished! On my next attempt I locked up at Endor again. Rumble was turned off and I was crossing very slowly with R2. I restarted and this time took R2 accross at about 1/2 speed ahead of my other characters and did not get the lockup. Coming out of the death star II at the end I took my time, didn't do much shooting and let my ship get overtaken by flames several times. I made it out without the lockup I got on my previous time through that level on super story. Elapsed time was about 56 minutes.

my game frooze 3 times on the endor river before i did it on my forth try, heres what i did on my forth attempt;

1) i shot all the plants and soldiers on my side of the river and the ones that come over from the over side

2)as R2D2 i went as far as i could to the left on the near bank then went into the river. I pushed towards the far bank where it is too steep and slowly edges towards the right. 

3) However i was weary about the game freeving and R2s inability to jump - so i went back to the near side land and reassemble the people and changed to Han

4)with Han i went far over to the left of the near bank and went into the river, i pused towards the far bank where its too steep and tried jumping up, whilst slowly edging towards the right and jumping.  I eventually got where Han could jump up and the game was OK

Good Luck

I had it feeze on me twice on SS mode on Endor and so I used the R2D2 to cross the river slowly (keeping all of the party on the screen) and it did not freeze.  Just completed the game with 100%.  Thanks for the tips posted here.

The crossing the river glitch isn't apparently limited to SuperStory mode.  I had it freeze the first time I played that chapter by itself, in regular Story mode.  I didn't blow up the plants, and stuck to the left, and made it across the next time.

For me this only occured in story mode, perhaps il give it another go sometime and see if it doesnt reoccur.

Ok I replayed all of superstory with music and vibration off, became R2, had everyone cross the river and no freeze, I didnt freeze coming out of the Death Star either.

I haven't done superstory yet. I am just trying to get out of the 2nd death star and it freezes on me in the same place. I will turn off the vibration and give it a 4th attempt.

Always dealt whats handed, never an eagle landed.

it froze on me about 5 times before getting the undefeated achievement on death star 2
the flames advice doesn't apply there, lol
what I did was stop firing for about 2 seconds as the metal meets the red and it worked

i might as well just do superstory to finish off all frustration at once

YES! I got my gold block for the super story!  I only froze on endor once, but then I did the 3p0 thing and was fine

what i did was shoot the plants, kill everyone, and then shoot onto the screen across the river

then went about 30 seconds to cross the little river

....

at the 3rrd part of the death star i probably died about 12 times before the glitch part and it worked

thank god!  the hardest(or should i say most frustrating parts) of the game are over! all i have to do now is collect minikits and finish a few undefeated with ghosts when I can afford them

I just got the game yesterday and started it up. When I did it did an update before starting the game. Any chance this fixed the river issue or am I still going to have the same problem?

I had the same problem coming out of the Death Star. Believe me I was super pissed!! I didn't do anything special to overcome the obstacle, all I did was reset my 360 and play the level over again. Yea it sucked playing it again but after knowing where all the studs were it was a lot easier and faster.

I do not have time to read all the other posts but I froze in both locations normal sory mode. I got past endor crossing slowly in the middle with vibratin off. I got past the death star by just having the vibration off and constantly firing as I went past the glitch location.

I had the Endor problem 3 times, whilst trying most of the suggestions above. After reading the posts about going really slowly across the river and turning the music off figured it must be something to do with load times and some sort of caching, so got to this point, and then hung around a bit before crossing the river, getting as many coins as possible after taking the lift down etc, and then used R2 to cross (something I'd tried before). Everyone else had already crossed (not on screen), but it all worked fine. Just kept dying coming out of the Death Star, rumble on, and it was all fine.

 

Just a theory, but it seems like it crashes because it's having to load up areas too quickly. At both the river and the Death Star there's  very short amounts of time between each load point, made worse if you're trying to do it on Super Story as you're going as quick as possible. If it keeps areas adjacent to the one you're in in memory, then it may trip over itself if you're going too quick.

 

That may all be wrong, but just taking it easy at these points, giving it a couple of minutes near the river just for it to catch up worked for me.

Going for 100,000 kills... in Worms.

Froze while trying to escape the Death Star 2. Craptastic. I see no reason to keep the game after I beat because why should I have to find ways for a game not to freeze?

I thought it froze after the cutscene, but it was just taking a while for the next cut scene to load. I barely got the brick: I finished the 3rd chapter after about 35 minutes, then hauled *** throughout the rest to end at 58 minutes. I loved getting that money tree outside. I just got the 100% ach

Mine is freezing a lot more than just one level. I've been freezing up while spending time in Mos Eisley. This really sucks..

Well, it appears that my problem isn't the game, it's the system.  Sending it in for "repair" as soon as I get the box from Microsoft...

Stay sane inside insanity...

I've played it about six times...keeps freezing.  Tried crossing the river with R2, with 3PO, with the music off...haven't tried it with the vibration off yet.  Very frustrating... no luck at all.

After 5 times of locking up at the river!!!

With R2 - music off - Vibration off etc...tried summat else.

What I did ... -

Put in OBLIVION disc - keep "Y" pressed throughout loading up until playing game = Clears the 360 Cache.

Now back to dashboard load up SW lego

Straight to "ROTJ" superstory

Play through - making sure not to reach 100K studs before the river and also when reach the river, kill any stormtroopers. Wander round till rest of group over the river - I was Chewwie by the way.

Then Continue on as normal - YAY

Also read about the Death Star II lock up - so i died a few time on the way out (let fire catch up)

And finish in 53mins - 100+K studs.

- If you haven;t got Oblivion I'm not sure how to clear your 360 Cache with other games.

I had read about the bug crossing the river, so when I got to that point I stayed far left with Hans Solo as suggested and I had no problem. I didn't know about the bug at the end of the game so the first time I played it I made it to the cut scene at the end where the M Falcon was to shoot out and it just locked. I restarted the console and played it again (both times I had the rumble ON) and it completed no problem. It wasn't until after that I stopped back to this site and caught that this was also a common bug. As I have been completing the missions I have NOT been worrying too much about the mini-kits. Most missions I have collected the 2 or 3 easy pieces as I saw them, but thats all. The first time when it locked I died at least 3 times by the fire, the second time when I did it and it didn't lock up on me, I think I only got caught once by the fire.

I had it lock up on me last night when escaping the deathstar. I was freaking out because I did it twice, in normal story mode, and it locked up both times whiles escaping after doing the reactor. I was afraid my 360 was going to give me the dreaded three red lights, but I'm glad to read here it is just a bug in the game.

I'm going to give it a shot tonight after work with vibration and music turned off.

On my 7th attempt I have finally got past the river in Endor having previously done everything this thread suggested with no luck.

In the end this is what I did:

1) Unpluged console from ethernet and start with no disc
2) Went to system blade, into memory, selected HDD and pressed X X LB RB X X. ( This performs maintanance on the storage device but also removes any downloaded auto-updates for all games [but not content downloads] so they will have to be downloaded again next time you play them on Live)
3) Started lego star wars not signed into XBL so no update re-applied
4) Got kids to work through first 3 levels of super story (Not relevant to the fix, I'm just so bored of the cut scenes now)
5) Got to endor river with less than 100,000 points (Done before with no difference)
6) Turned off music and rumble (Done before with no difference)
7) Killed all storm troopers including those visable across river, didnt destroy plants (Done before)
8) Walked up left bank behind all plants including sith force bushes and entered river as Han (Think I did this before as another character)
9) Other members crossed river - I did not need to keep them on the screen
10) Walked down river and jumped on bank as soon as possible

I didn't have any problem on the Death Star level, I just followed the previous advice of taking it steady on the way out. I did a few things different here than on previous runthroughs so not sure which of them made the difference and I really cant face giving it another go yet just to find out

I now have a lovely Lego fountain and I'm a lego billionaire.

Hope this offers some further help to someone.

I'm at 97%. Just need this gold brick and to buy all the stuff from the shop. Talk about annoying.   I'm so sick of those stupid cutscenes. They were great the first 5 times....

PEOPLE I MAY HAVE THE ANSWER I HAVE READ WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE SAID I HAD NO PROBLEM BUT I MAY HAVE IF I HADNT OF USED A ROBOT !!!!      EVERY ONE SHOULD TRY AND USE EITHER R2D2 OR C3PO !!I USED C3PO AND NO FREEZE BUT I DID FREEZE ONCE ON NORMAL STORY MODE BUT THEN I DID IT AGAIN WITH C3PO IN MY CONTROLL AND IT WORKED PURFECTLY !!!! I WALKED STRAIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER VERY SLOWLY  DIDNT DESTROY ANYTHING AND WHEN I MADE IT ACROSS I CHANGED CHARACTERS AND CONTINUED THE STORY AND FINISHED THE SUPER STORY MODE WITH 48 SECONDS REMAINING !!!

I HAD EVERY MINIKIT EVERY POWERBLOCK AND 98/99 GOLD BLOCKS !!

HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP EVERYBODY OUT THERE !!

I'm at the same completion amount. I'll try with the robots also. Thanks for the tip.

Just throwing my name into the hat and hoping for a patch soon. Don't have the time or patience to try arbitrary workarounds. Lucasarts needs to fix this BS.

100%!!!!

I turned off music and vibration. I used r2d2, and I walked slowly through the river. Also, I let the flame overtake me on the deathstar escape multiple times. I'm...I'm so happy... <- tears of joy
