Hey all, okay not to sound like a broken record, but here's what happened to me:
About 73% game completed, I have all the gold bricks and minikits from Ep IV, a few from Ep V, and a few from Ep VI. I've got all achievements but 80% complete, 100% complete, Jabba's Missions, Lego Land, and Death Star II battle unlocked. I have beaten all the super stories and wanted to knock out Ep VI b/c if I couldn't get it to work after a few tries I was going to beat the Jabba's missions, get the 80% and accept that the last three achievements won't happen.
1st problem: Locked up on the river. here's why. 1) Read this forum and used R2 up the river. Don't do this. Take Han and just run across the river and into the next section (don't shoot the plants and kill all enemies first), your game will be fine (at least mine was and every little glitch I've heard this game having, my disc has, although I did buy it on launch day and haven't played until now). 2.) KEEP VIBRATION ON; read this forum and turned it off so I wouldn't forget, this also caused the glitch as both Han and R2. So far the game had frozen 3 times.
2nd problem: Locked up while leaving the death star. Of course, forgot to turn off vibration. Second time (and also 2nd time crossing as Han with vibration on and no lockup on the river) I turned off vibration during the luke/vader/emperor fight and got past it no problem.
3rd Problem: Couldn't beat it in time. No problem. Don't quit, just finish. I finished in 1:08:00 and it gave me the brick, just no time bonus.
4th problem: Locked up on the ending sequence, however it successfully ended the final chapter so after I rebooted the gold brick was already unlocked.
Frustrating as it was, I've got it and now I'm cherishing it. Having never completed the Ep VI super story in one smooth transition, I'm going to live with the glitched out way I finally unlocked this. Now...onto 100%.
