Aspyr recently updated the game and "fixed" some issues. On Theed Palace the Plasma Droids will now do damage to you with their green lasers, on Tatooine you now have to skip the Probe Droid fight by running backwards out of the fight and then back into it. This has been costing me roughly 30-40 seconds.
Due to this a patch dropdown has been added to the leaderboard. On PC, if you can downpatch to the original 1.6 release version, this is the fastest version as of now and when competing for top times it is recommended to run that version. However, feel free to run and submit any version of the game.
For consoles, as of now all version runs are valid, but I believe as future releases are rolled out it we will need to re-addressed.
The mod team has decided to create a new leaderboard for the 2025 remaster. Please submit all remaster runs and any guides, resources, and keep any remaster conversations over on that leaderboard.

As this is a new leaderboard and the game is still fresh we are still working on categories and runs. For now there is only Any% & Any% NG+. As the new routes are finalized and rules made we are thinking of adding an All Levels run and possibly a Blaster% if NG+ is dominated by a melee character.
It may also be best to hold off on submitting any runs until the game is out for a couple of weeks. Not sure if Aspyr will be making any updates and I want to make sure the loadremover doesn't break before we start submitting times for PC.
Thanks guys! Was confused as to why I'd get it sometimes and not the other. Just started learning the run so appreciate the quick feedback.
Is there a reason why Im out of boomerangs and pea shooters but Im not getting increased damage?
If we were to do console runs, would PS2 be acceptable?
