Now, I’m not one to question the ways and the actions of Santa Claus (after all, for all the free crap he gives me, I don’t think I deserve to question him), but I’m sure we’ve all stopped to question ourselves on just exactly how Santa manages to deliver presents to everyone through the world, in one night – well, LucasArts had a theory. Santa must certainly be a master of the Force.

They attempted to substantiate that theory in their most excellent game, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, by allowing Santa to be a playable character – with due customization. Just in time for the holidays, Joystiq grabs a shovel and digs up exactly how to get your Christmas on – Jedi style.

*Step 1: At the Mos Eisley Cantina, enter the following two codes: CL4U5H (for Santa hat and red clothes) and TYH319 (for white beard Extra)

*Step 2: Go to the Character Customizer and create the proper costume. Use a human head, the appropriate red clothing … and don’t forget the red cap! Santa can wield the weapon of your choice — we recommend the green or red lightsaber to seasonally complement his shiny red duds. (Remember, the color of his lightsaber decides whether his Force powers are naughty or nice.)

* Step 3: In the Extras menu, activate Disguise 3.

* Step 4: Enter the character-based level of your choice in Free Play.

Now, to sit back and watch the Santa Miis come marching down my television.
