Better than the summer vacation but still not really that good it's OK to watch but it is not really that good either you can watch it but it is still not really that good of a short.

Poe lands on a red planet where they are building the Darth Vader resort hotel. Poe is lead into the building and secret chambers to recover rare Silth items. An anthology of stories ensue that are mash-ups of the Star Wars plots and back stories. They did clever things like use pieces of other film scenes in their tales. I was able to catch LOTR, Shining, Nightmare on Elm Street and the Twilight Zone. I am sure there were more. In spite of being clever, it was not overly entertaining. The characters were stiff. (pun intended.) Graballa the Hutt I liked.

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.

This "movie", if one could even call it that, is horrendous. It lasts 44 minutes but feels like 44 hours. Its among the style of Creepshow in that it is a " scary" movie with segments. Though I must note one should not compare Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales to Creepshow. There's a very big difference between the two and I didn't expect them to be the same. The voice acting is often horrible and the animation is occasionally choppy. Which could be excusable if the stories were any good. However I can barely recall the stories due to how boring, unfunny and unoriginal it is. The only one I can recall is one were Luke joins Vader on the dark side and father and son bond! Oh boy! How exciting! Ignore Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales. Its just another bland cash grab Lego movie like that of The Lego Ninjago Movie.

Last Christmas there was a Lego Star Wars special on Disney Plus, which I felt was "reasonable but not quite clever enough to live long in the memory". Fortunately, whilst still not a must-see event, this Halloween special is a lot more inventive and fun for it. Whilst mopping up the remains of the First Order, Poe Dameron's (Jake Green) X-Wing is damaged and crash lands on Mustafar. There he discovers that Graballa The Hutt (Dana Snyder) is converting Darth Vader's (Matt Sloan) castle into a new Empire inspired hotel. Whilst Dameron is negotiating for assistance, Vanee (Tony Hale) a cloaked figure who came with the castle begins to recount several stories with the aim of encouraging progress deeper and deeper into the secret chambers and to the Sith treasures hidden inside. Essentially the story is a Portmanteau film, with Vanee's stories making up the bulk of the run time. The stories are loose movie parodies. The middle one, is the least easy to pinpoint what film they're after, but something like the Dracula Meets Frankenstein Universal films is probably the clearest touchpoint. This sees a resurrected Darth Maul battle a restored General Grievous to recover a lightsabre for the Emperor. The third section is an adaptation of the classic Twilight Zone story, "The Monkey's Paw" with "The Wookies Paw" in which young Luke Skywalker wishes his way off Tatooine, but each wish takes him further and further into the dark side. You may have noticed I've missed off the first one, that's because it's by far the best. A full parody of "The Lost Boys" detailing Kylo Ren's decision to join up with the Knights of Ren. I'm not sure how many people planning to watch this film will also be intimately familiar with an Vampire film from 34 years ago - but I was in that bracket and enjoyed that section quite a lot. There was a myriad of other little moments cribbed from classic horror in there too. Overall, a lot funnier and more inventive than the Christmas special, if perhaps still a way short of the cinematic Lego films.

Well, the Lego Star Wars magic is back. When I they announced "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales", I must admit that I was looking forward to getting to watch it. And let me just be the first to say that writer David Shayne and director Ken Cunningham definitely didn't fail to deliver with "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales". I just am a little bit puzzled why this Lego Star Wars anthology was released at the beginning of October and not the end, towards Halloween, which would have been a bit more appropriate, given the nature of the stories told here. Entertainment-wise then "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales" was good, and it manages to capture the essence of "Star Wars" while still having that Lego feel to it, just as the 2020 "Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" had. So if you enjoyed that one, then you will certainly also enjoy "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales". The stories - or segments of stories - told in "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales" were quite varied in contents and as such aim at a more wide audience. But for someone like me, being a "Star Wars" fan since childhood, then I have to say that I enjoyed all of the contents here. Sure, this was Lego, but there is just something magical that works about Lego Star Wars for some reason. The animation in "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales" was good, just as it was in the 2020 "Lego Star Wars Holiday Special". Lots of great characters, animation, textures and details throughout the entire movie. So visually, then I found "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales" to be very pleasing. With "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales" being an animated movie, of course having a properly talented ensemble of voice actors and actresses is crucial. And they certainly had exactly that for this 2021 animated movie, no doubt about it. I was genuinely entertained by "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales", and this is certainly something I can warmly recommend you sit down and watch, regardless of being a child or an adult that enjoys "Star Wars". My rating of "Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
