In case you are curious, here is how I had my controls mapped:
Directions - left analogue stick
Walk/ run - L3
Crouch - L2
Jump - L1
Previous force power - left d-pad
Next force power - right d-pad
Saber style - down d-pad
Reload - up d-pad
Use - select
Show scores - start
Bow - triangle (Y)
Use force power - mouse 4 (rear side button)
Special ability (slap) - mouse 5 (front side button)
Primary attack - left mouse button
Secondary attack - right mouse button
Change weapon - scroll wheel up/ down
Special ability (throw saber/ mando rocket) - Mouse 3 (push down scroll wheel)

Bare in mind the PS1 controller is layed out differently to the eggsbox controller. I put Use on select because I could reach it from the analogue stick easily.
