Happy Life Day.

The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special is Disney's answer to 1978's 'classic disaster' that was the original Holiday Special. This one's amusing, unlike the original one *shivers*: because THIS ones got a story and doesn't focus on Wookiees growling at each other for FAR too long. This one is NOT a complete mess, and tries to address all the Star Wars memes that have spawned since Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012.

This special is cute, harmless and self-aware that will give longtime Star Wars fans a chuckle or two: but it's just time-killing Christmas entertainment in the end. That's not a bad thing: it just doesn't help the special's longevity AFTER the fact that it's made for Holidays instead of being an interesting piece of work itself.

Disney+ has got some hefty Star Wars stuff in the pipeline, and this special, along with The Mandalorian, is just the beginning for their plans on where to take that galaxy far, far away.

Cute entertainment: so inoffensive it might disappoint with its lack of 'bite'.
