Lego Star Wars: Especial felices fiestas

A fun short film that recreates the most iconic Star Wars scenes with LEGO while simultaneously creating holiday cheer. It's clearly aimed at the youngest members of the family, but if you are a fan of Star Wars, you'll definitely find this more than enjoyable.

Quite frankly, I was surprised by what a great time this turned out to be. These types of things often end up being so obviously aimed at kids that it's almost unbearable to watch as an adult. This Star Wars special manages to offer everyone something, and I was a little taken aback by how much it felt like Star Wars.

We need more hello there.

memes aside, I had no problem with the lego style, I love it, what really annoyed me was Rey, i hate her and i think we needed more Obi Wan (who doesn't want more Obi Wan).

This is actually a lot better than the actual sequel trilogy. The story is Rey leaves on a mission after reading a book about a temple after she wanted to know what she is doing wrong with teaching Finn, and she finds a key to that allows her to go back in time. However, when she sees Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine on the second Death Star, the dark lord of the Sith is sent to retrieve the key. Also, there is a B-story where Poe Dameron decides to take charge with preparing the Life Day party, to disastrously funny results.

It's a neat special, to be honest. It has key scenes from the prequel and original trilogy (as well as a short scene set in The Mandalorian), the special is filled with references to Star Wars meta and even contains the action Star Wars is known for and the humor Lego comes with. Also, it avoids the cheesy variety that the 1978 Holiday Special is infamous for (no cheesy comedy shorts, no questionable music numbers, and no Art Carney being important to the plot). This is a neat special for all ages, as it teaches a good moral, and is more exciting than The Rise Of Skywalker.

I sat down to watch the 2020 "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" last evening, and it was with a great deal of reluctance given two factors; first, the horror that was the 1978 "The Star Wars Holiday Special" and this being a LEGO animated movie.

Well, first of all I must say that I was more than genuinely surprised by how fantastic "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" actually turned out to be. Sure, it is a LEGO animated movie, but it is an all-together very enjoyable foray into the "Star Wars" universe.

Secondly, and most importantly, "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" is the seasonal holiday movie that Star Wars has been waiting to get in order to erase the memory of the abysmal 1978 "The Star Wars Holiday Special". Just remembering having sat through that horrible experience still makes me shudder.

The storyline told in "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" was very enjoyable, and especially for a "Star Wars" fan such as myself, this 44 minute long animated movie was just crammed with so many great - and often subtle - nods and praises to all the "Star Wars" movies and series with references, scenes, scenery, etc. I will say that "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" is well-worth watching more than just a single time, in order to catch all the minute details and references. Trust me, there are plenty of them all throughout the entire course of these 44 enjoyable minutes.

This being a LEGO animated movie, you know that you are getting quality animation. I was just fearing that it would be an animated movie that was aimed directly at the younger audience. Luckily it was not. No, "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" is a highly watchable animated movie by audiences of all ages, fans of "Star Wars" or not.

While they didn't have the voices of the original characters, they did have a good ensemble of voice actors to portray the various characters that we all grew up with and love. And it was nice that they actually had some of the original cast to revisit their characters; such as Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams and Kelly Marie Tran.

I was definitely entertained by "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" and I can highly recommend that you sit down to watch it, being a child or adult, fan of Star Wars or not, a fan of LEGO or not. This was proper and good entertainment.

My rating of "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" lands on a seven out of ten Deathstars. Happy Life Day to you and may the Force be with you... always.

I don't know why this special has so many negative reviews. I like how it paid homage to all nine 'primary' movies (and the Mandalorian), was self-deprecating of many aspects of the franchise, and was legitimately funny. Yes, except for Anthony Daniels and Billy Dee Williams, it's not the movie actors, but there are quite a few voice actors returning from Clone Wars, which was great to hear. Certainly worth a viewing from any life-long Star Wars fan.
