This was a solid, entertaining Lego Star Wars special. In November of 2020, Disney+ released a Lego Star Wars Christmas special, and I loved it. I loved how it was funny, entertaining, and had a lot of callbacks. That is exactly what this had.
Any Lego special is funny, but this one was better than most. Just like in the Holiday special, the writers made fun of things Star Wars gets laughed at, but they do it in such a clever way. The characters just act so silly and stupid as well, it is so funny. Graballa the Hutt was also funny. Just a stupidly silly character. Seeing Zombie Separatist Droids was also hilarious. They were already jokes as is, but them as zombies made them look even dumber. It was definitely one of the highs of the special for me.
The story and plot of this wasn't too bad either. It was pretty entertaining which is all I am looking for when I watch stuff like this. I also thought Vaneé sharing the stories during the short, and them all culminating at the end was pretty cool. The stories were pretty entertaining as well. My favorite one was when Palpatine sent Grievous and Maul to retrieve a Sith lightsaber. It was the most comedic of the stories, and it was also the best. I liked how they showed Maul's rebirth from Clone Wars and made it funny. I liked the twist. It was also cool to hear Sam Witwer back to voice Maul. He was phenomenal in Clone Wars and Rebels, he brought the same energy to this as well, but had a slightly comedic role which was cool. Lastly, Poe said "I've got a bad feeling about this," the iconic Star Wars line that is in nearly everything. I laugh whenever I hear it I'm Star Wars now.
Lastly, they made a most of references in this special, not just to Star Wars, but to horror movies as well, and they once again added a comedic twist to it.
Just like the Lego Holiday special, this was very well done. I definitely recommend families watching it for a Halloween family movie, or for a family movie on any night. It is family friendly Lego Star Wars fun.
