Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation

This LEGO Star Wars special tries to follow the cheerful formula of its previous entries, but this time it falls pretty short. The premise is simple: a galactic cruise with vacation anecdotes that serve as excuses to tell disconnected mini-stories. Some are mildly funny, and as always, there are references meant for die-hard fans. But overall, it feels more like an animated product catalog than a story with heart.

The animation isn't terrible, but it looks rougher compared to other LEGO productions. The tone is festive and kid-friendly, but the humor rarely takes off. There's no tension, no engaging arc, and worst of all, no memorable moments. It's just another piece in the LEGO Star Wars universe-probably the most forgettable one.

Watched LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation with Omar Miller(Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Finn, Jake Green(Kipo) as Poe Dameron, Helen Sadler(Star Wars Squadrons) as Rey Skywalker, Kelly Marie Tran(Raya And The Last Dragon) as Rose Tico, James Arnold Taylor(Young Justice) as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Matt Lanter(Star Wars:The Clone Wars) as Anakin Skywalker, Shelby Young(Lego Star Wars:The Skywalker Saga) as Leia Organa, Dee Bradley Baker( Star Wars:The Bad Batch) as Boba Fett, Wicket and BV-RJ, Anthony Daniels(Obi-Wan Kenobi) as C-3PO, Eric Bauza(Space Jam: A New Legacy) as Luke Skywalker, Ross Marquand(Marvels What If?) as Han Solo, Kyleigh Curran(Secrets Of Sulphur Springs) as Sidero, Ashly Burch(Horizon Forbidden West) as Mahlnor, Matthew Wood(Seal Team) as Ben Solo, Matt Sloan(Star Wars Battlefront II EA) as Darth Vader, Kevin Michael Richardson(Invicible) as Jabba The Hutt ,Trevor Devall(Star Wars Rebels) as Emperor Palpatine, Matthew Wood(Seal Team) as Wick Cooper, Yvette Nicole-Brown (Big Shot Series) as Colvett Valeria and Weird Al Yankovic as Vic Vankoh.

It was a fun little adventure it was great to see Finn be the focus as Rey and Poe were in the previous ones also it was a fun little parody yeah easy to turn your brain also Scarif is an Ideal vacation spot of too A Fun LEGO Star Wars Movie With Summer Spin 7/10.

The original Lego Star Wars videos were hilarious and very entertaining. Some of the other recent Lego Start Wars episodes have been ok. This one was just not good at all.

The whole family watched it together, and at no point did anyone laugh at all except maybe a half-hearted chuckle here and there. And the flashback moments were just a reminder of way better Star Wars moments. My kids even started yawning halfway through and asking when it was done.

Disney, you can do better and not just expect everyone to automatically like it because it's Star Wars and Legos.

After having enjoyed watching the 2020 "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" and the 2021 "LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales", I must admit that I was looking forward to watching the 2022 "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation" as well.

And while it was watchable, however, I must say that the 2022 "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation" wasn't as funny or enjoyable as the previous two Lego Star Wars animated movies were. Don't get me wrong here, because I am not saying that writer David Shayne and director Ken Cunningham didn't deliver here, because they did, it was just lacking a bit in entertainment value.

The storyline fell a little bit short of capturing my full interest. Sure, there were pieces here and there that were good, but the overall impression was, as Emperor Palpatine said in this animated movie, "meh". It felt bland and rushed.

There were some good small references to all trilogies throughout the course of "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation".

The animation and graphics were good, as it usually is with these Lego products. And they had a good group of voice actors and actresses for the characters.

All in all, a watchable attempt, but not a spot on attempt. My rating of "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation is the latest in a long line of Lego Star Wars movies (some being direct-to-video, but newer ones have since been released exclusively on Disney+). In this adventure, Rey and her friends, arrive aboard the Halcyon, a luxury star cruiser owned by Lando Calrissian, who is the newly appointed ambassador of the Chandrila Star Line, Finn wants to spend time doing stuff with his friends because it may be the last time, but they do their own thing. Thankfully, Obi-Wan Kenobi and the spirits of other Jedi come to console him, as they tell stories about other vacations gone wrong.

This special is basically a collection of stories set in various times of the Star Wars franchise, with the main story being set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker (as well as the other Lego specials set after the ninth film). From Obi-Wan teaming up with Colvett Valeria from The Freemaker Adventure for a heist during Jabba the Hutt's barbeque birthday, to a tale of Darth Vader helping Emperor Palpatine enjoy a vacation on a beach where a party by Vic Vankoh, a character voiced by legendary singer/comedian Weird Al Yankovich, is held, each story taught a good moral to Finn. Also, the stories are neat, despite the Lego movies being their own continuity and not connected to the movies and the various TV shows, cartoons, and movies Disney tends to release in bulk to connect the gaps, and it may not appeal to the older Star Wars fans, but kids will love it, as the voice acting is well done, and the stories are neat.
