There is a Collectable Item hidden in Angry Birds Star Wars II Naboo Invasion level P1-S2, on the far right side of the level. The strategy here is a little less consistent, but in general use the first Droideka to clear away the chains and TNT from above the level. Fling as many Droideka as needed rightward until, upon self-destruction at the end of its spinning attack, a piece breaks the Bonus Box below.
Go back to the Complete Star Wars II Bonus Boxes Guide. If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below.
Translation of Slim-speak: “The strategy here is a little less consistent” = “You need a HUGE dose of luck, and more patience than a Jedi.”
Only got fragments of Droideka to fly through the gap on the right a couple of times, and of course they didn’t land anywhere near the box.
However, I did manage to get the Droideka itself to spin through the gap before self-destructing by sending it in a high arc and activating just before hitting the triangle just below the gap. Would not bet on being able to repeat.
I agree with you @mvnla2. I just don’t see a repeatable strat for picking up the box. I personally quit worrying about the TNTs and just started firing the Droidekas directly into the bottom portion of the level (right at the bottom of the bird in the yellow uniform) and letting them bounce around (at least you get 4 tries at picking up the box each time before you have to restart the level). I had a number of times where the Droideka actually bounced over to the area with the box, but they didn’t hit it. I finally got one to explode at just the right angle to pick up the box.
I hate it when they say things like that – the worst is “this level is a little difficult”. :-)
A suggestion: Aim at the tnt chains and start droideka asap. This will take out the chains without finishing the level. Same line with next 3 pigs as the point is to hit the far right triangle. But start them about 4 dots down the firing line. The idea is to have them break up just as they hit the triangle and debris to fall over. Wound up with debris BETWEEN the dang wall and the box twice! But it did work in about 5 tries.
Adjust to taste…
many many thanks. @78rpm, you saved my sanity. only took 42 tries but yours worked
Getting the ‘hidden item’ in this level is “so difficult” {Admin edit}. I tried video method and subsequent suggestions and concluded that success would be 100% luck.
The following method makes for an easily repeatable experience. First use Droideka to cut both chains. Then release Battle Droid in the highest possible arc. When BD is just below ceiling, fire at bottom tip of upper triangle. If you lofted BD high enough, you will get a carom that clears bottom triangle and hits Bonus Box.
Thanks for sharing your strategy @desox

Thanks
Here is how I finally hit that pesky bonus box.
First shot to break the chain, like everyone else does. However, the Droideka reflected upon breaking the first chain (I guess I activated her a bit early). I launched a second Droideka in a middle arc (like, 45-50 degrees), activating right after release. The second chain slowed her down a bit, which made a debris land onto the box!!
And now the big note: DO NOT view this as an alternate strategy. I doubt if anyone could repeat the shots even if the Force is with you.
This site has saved me from losing what is left of my sanity so many times; just when I think that there is no possible way for me to get the 3 stars or the bonus item, someone here suggests a solution and lo’ and behold, it works! After flinging enough birds to induce a hand-cramp, I finally checked out this walk-through and then read the comments below. I took the advice to fling the first Droideka as high as possible to cut the first chain and I activated her about two dots before she would hit. Somehow {while I crossed my fingers, toes and eyes} she went through, bounced, activated the TNT, then bounced, cut through the second chain, detonated and a fragment hit the bonus box. All with the first Droideka. I saw it happen and am still not sure how it worked. Thanks again for all the advice here.
No idea if this was dumb luck or not. .. But I did as everyone else said and took our the chains. Then used Jaba, and launched him at the top of the bottom triangle. The magnets didn’t change his course and he hit the top and ruled over onto the box.
I finally gave up and tried your method and finally beat it!! Thanks!
