The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special

I love Lego Star Wars but this was not very creative. It would have been a lot of fun if they interacted in an interesting way with the different time and places. For example the Mandalorian was just 3 seconds and just a plug.

A zany and ill-conceived “holiday” adventure, The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special isn’t much better than the original. With the First Order gone the universe is free to celebrate Life Day once again, but Ray, frustrated with her failings as a Jedi instructor, uses the occasion to seek out a galactic key that may have the answers she’s been looking for. As one would expect, voice actors reprise most of the characters; and per Lego, are more comic and silly. And the plot may actually be more crazy and ridiculous than the ‘78 version; with all its time jumping and cooking antics. Still, the animation is incredibly well-done, and there are some nice bits of humor (especially for Star Wars fans). Yet while it’s entertaining at times, ultimately The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special is a contrived and pointless mess.
