Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian Special SPOILER FILLED Review

Lego and Star Wars are things tat usually go together hand in hand with Lego telling stories that appeal more to kids and Star Wars being able to put together some cool sets that feel that they fit in with that world. Heck they've even produced some decent but not great specials together in recent years well now they've released another special and it might just be the most pointless one of the bunch and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the special that is quite literally just a retelling of the first three season of The Mandalorian with the special in question being called simply just "Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian" enjoy.

The plot of this special is believing he is there to track down a bounty The Mandalorian and Grogu arrive on Tatooine where they find that there friends are throwing a surprise party just for them. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty OK at best. The specials plot for what it is isn't that bad but at the same time there are ither Lego Star Wars specials that do have better plots then this one with this specials plot feeling like it was meant to serve as a tie in for The Mandalorian And Grogu as the special is all about recapping key events from the show and really nothing more then that. The plot is outside of the recapped scenes is pretty thin at best with the special outside of what was described near the start of this review not really having a plot as while yes there are a few story scenes involving pirates they don't really come into play until near the end of the special which is far to little to late for that to happen with it feeling like that this special was made purely to sell kids on the idea of a mandalorian movie or any of The Mandalorian lego sets which is something that is also true for alot of the Lego sets but here it does feel like that it's getting in the way of the plot and while it is foolish to expect a good plot in a Lego Star Wars anything really you do however expect a plot that is at the vert least semi decent with the plot of this special not really being really rather entertaining and as well as not really being really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this special is Gavin Hammon as The Mandalorian , Amy Sedaris as Peli Motto and Bill Burr as Migs Mayfeld. Also starring in this special is David Pasquesi as Majordomo , Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze , Emily Swallow as The Armorer , Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon , Matthew Wood as Bib Fortuna , Jawas and The Kowakian Monkey-Lizard , Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand , Nick Nolte as Kuiil , Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano , Taika Waititi as IG-11 and IG-12 , Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett , Timothy Olyphant as Cobb Vanth , André Sogliuzzo as Mythrol and Stormtroopers , Carl Lumbly as Greef Karga , David Acord as MA-13 , Eric Bauza as Luke Skywalker and EV-9D9 , Flula Borg as The Client , Marti Matulis as Vane , Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Carson Teva , Shelby Young as Anzellans and Jawas , Steve Blum as Stormtroopers and Zeb Orrelios and Trevor Devall as A Dark Trooper , Dorian Shard and A Pit Droid.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty OK at best. This specials acting was quite frankly alot more better then what it really had any right to be as like alot of these Lego Star Wars specials none of the specials actors had to turn in a good performance as let's be honest no one is going to watch these specials and yet alot of them did with the like of Eric Bauza being un recognizable as Luke Skywalker as he sounds so much like Mark Hamill that you'd assume that they just got him in to play the role again with the same thing also being true for Gavin Hammon who sounds so much like Pedro Pascal that you'd assume that they just got him back to voice the character. With the best actor in this special being Gavin Hammon as The Mandalorian as he does sound so much like Pedro Pascal that it does make you wonder why they didn't just get him to voice the character with Gavin doing enough to the voice to make it sound unique to him without doing so much that it's clear that it's not a different actor playing the role and while other actors in this special do get alot more characters to play Gavin only has the one and he plays him so well with him making the character more child friendly which given the fact that this is a kids special is something that does work for this special and it is something that does come through in his performance. With the acting that's in this special no really being helped by the fact that this specials script is just so bad as it gives none of this specials actors anything to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very special.

Doing the animation for this special is the legenda and the greats that are currently over at Atomic Cartoons. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty OK at best. The animation in this special was pretty decent but at the same time it did feel like a huge step down in quality when it comes to the animation that we would normally get in these lego specials as while granted the animation that we do normally get isn't the best you can still tell that there is alot of thought and effort put into it. Whereas here in this film whilst there is of course effort put into the animation it's lacking alot of thought with it being really choppy alot of the time as it lacks those extra few frames that alot of these Lego specials do have and this is something that does make the animation in this special feel more like an afterthought as there is nothing in this special from an animation stand point that makes the special stand out outside of the fact that all of the smoke and sand effects are rendered in a realistic looking 3D CGI which granted to does look good but at the same time it clashes with the fact that everything is meant to be Lego with all of the characters having these really stilted movements to them which in all fairness don't look that bad but but if they did have a few more frames of animation given to them then they could have made them look alot more smoother instead of making it look like there was a jump cut every few seconds.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason this special just recaps alot of the key moments or the mandalorian not only from The Mandalorian TV show but also from The Book Of Boba Fett. Which is just weird as one of the many things that that show got made of was for feeling like the next season of The Mandalorian as very little of the Boba Fett show focused on Boba Fett himself and yet now we have a special that once again hits home the point that he was never the main character if his own show which is just stupid and granted the whole point of this special was to get kids caught up all of The Mandalorians adventures prior to The Mandalorian And Grogu but that doesn't mean that you had to include scenes from the show that helped to ruin a character that alot of die hard Star Wars loved. Heck the only good thing that this special really does with it being basically a clip how is the fact that it doesn't feature Lego versions of the Jack Black and Lizzo cameo from The Mandalorian season 3 as nobody needs to be reminded of that even being a thing and very the very fact that this is a clip show special does make the special feel pointless as we could just watch the actual episodes and get the same expirence only now we'd have have the added benefit of having context added to the scenes that are shown in this special and heck watching the actual episodes might be better as then we get to see the characters as they were originally meant to be and while there is a plus side of this special in that it is something that was purely made with little kids in mind and therefor of course the characters and the stories don't need to be as smart as they once where here by dumbing down the characters and still having it be a clip show special there basically dumbing down both The Mandalorian and The Book Of Boba Fett when that is something that they really didn't have to do.

To be frank here this whole special feels like it was made in order to promote The Mandalorian And Grogu as there s no need for them to do a recap of any of the events in that show were it not for that fact. However even that doesn't really make that much sense as this special has only just came out and The Mandalorian And Grogu came out in May of this year which does make it a bit late to do a special that might have been used to promote a movie that ultimately bombed at the box office however tho there is also a chance that this special wasn't meant to be a tie for that movie which if that was the case then one has to wonder why they had the plot of this special being characters just telling and showing us things that we've known have happened to the characters in the first place there is always a chance that this was done to get more kids into watching the film and the shows which OK is a good idea but it is really worth putting forward all of this time and money into a special that will be forgotten about by tomorrow. There are sets for The Mandalorian therefor maybe like with the Lego Disney Princess and Lego Marvel specials maybe this one was done to help shift some of the Lego sets which OK is fair enough as alot of the shows in the eighties and nineties were also made with the idea of selling the toys but the but thing this special doesn't really do that as it doesn't make the sets look good and given the fact that alot of the Lego set sell for almost triple digits it does make you wonder just who this special was made for as while you do get adults who are still into Lego those that are still into it and have kids that are old enough to play with it are really small and no parent with kids is going to spend alot of money on a Lego set.

In something that was a surprising move is the fact that in a few of the flashbacks to scenes from season 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian it looks like we get a silent cameo from Cara Dune. Which given everything that Lucasfilm and Disney put Gina Carano through when they fired her is a shocking thing to see as while yes the character doesn't speak in her scenes with them even skipping over the episode where the two meet up for the first time it was still shocking to see what might be her character showing up and while there is a good chance that it's not her character the model that they use looks to much like her for it not to be her an while it would have been nice if it is her as her character did play a big role in the first few seasons of the show given just how petty that Disney is it wouldn't be surprising if they come out and say that its not her even tho it's clearly modelled after her. The specials villain Dorian Shard isn't that bad of a villain as he does serve his purpose of being a family friendly villain but the same time none of the clips that the show show us why he's after The Mandalorian in the first place as he tells us that he's after him because of the fact that The Mandalorian killed a member of his family but nothing in the special has shown us that that was the case when it really should have done as then it would have made feel like a more thought out villain instead of just being anther angry Star Wars villain and while the character does indeed get some good moments in the special with him always correcting people that say he's a plant creature with him always saying something that he's plant like but none of of those tell us who he is as a character and none of them give us a reason to want to boo him outside of the fact that he's the main villain of the special and that's it and that's not enough to give us a good villain.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty five minuets and nine seconds. Which to be fair to this special is kind of the bogstanderd running time for alot of these Lego Star Wars specials however tho alot of the other special justify there running times buy having a better plots that demand the special be that long where as here as outside of all of the recapped scenes the special doesn't have enough plot to fully justify it being that long as you very easily could have cut this special down to thirty minuets and and not cut a single story scene in the special as the only thing that you'd have to cut down on is the pointless recap scenes and that's it with the this special not really having enough plot there to fully cover that amount of running time in the first place. With this special not even using it's running time all that wisely as the special really doesn't fully develop it's plot with the plot being about as bare bones as you can get with even the main villain of the special not even showing up until about twenty minuets into the special all because of the of the fact that the makers of this special put alot more thought and effort into giving the special alot of pointless flashback scenes then they did into giving it a well thought and well developed plot. This is something that dos also effect the characters character development as while The Mandalorian gets character development with him learning the exact same thing that he learnt in the first season of the show that bein to open up his heart and let people in and help it was handled so badly in this special ass nothing that they had shown in the specials story scenes had hinted that that was going to be the case in the place with none of the specials other characters getting kind of character development whatsoever with the makers of this special caring more about giving us pointless cameo characters they did about giving its characters some actual character development but I really will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a comedy that special really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy thats actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy thats actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. With the specials comedy being alot of the typical comedy that we do find in Lego specials in that they'll reply a scene from something and then have a joke play over what was once a serious moment and that is something that does work for this special as there is alot of fun to be had in the world of Star Wars and even more so with The Mandalorian as a whole. With specials best joke being at the end of the episode one of The Mandalorian recap as during the fight against all of the other bad guys in that episode IG-11 does try to blow himself up with them taking it one step further in this episode by having him get upset at everything that he's done with him threatening to blow himself up over the tiniest thing with a fight that lasted minuets in the first episode now lasting hours as The Mandalorian has to stop him from blowing himself up all of the time and that is a good joke as it's making fun of something that happend in the actual episode but is doing so in a way that does feel respectful not only to the characters but the show as a whole with the one thing that the makers could have done to make it better being if they showed The Mandalorian getting angry which granted is somethin that they wouldn't have been able to do given the fact that he wears a helmet all the time but it is something that would have made that joke all the more funnier with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall it really is hard to say if this special or The Mandalorian And Grogu is worst as while that film was painfully bad alot of the time this special is still pretty bad with the thing being that this special was of course made with little kids in mind and that is something that we all really need to take into account when watching it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked abut all of the good an as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page ,IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very special that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very special with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy: Pieces Of The Past SPOILER FILLED Review

To say that Star Wars has had a very hit and miss few weeks would be a huge understatement as while the trailer for Star Wars Visions Volume 3 went down well with people the same thing absolutely cannot be said for the teaser trailer for The Mandalorian And Grogu which seems to have gone done like a lead balloon. Well in all of that hype they've actually released another animated show and it's one that really not alot of people will know about even coming out in the first place and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that really didn't need to exist in the first place with the show in question being called simply just "LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy: Pieces Of The Past" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when a sith lord called Solitus opens up a portal to another galaxy he plans to use this power to destroy the galaxy and it's up to brothers Sig and Dev to stop him before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad however tho this shows plot wasn't all that good as while this is a show that was clearly made just to sell the newly announced and very heavily priced Death Star set it's also a plot that really should have been alot more better as even tho the previous series did dive into the multiverse aspect as well there it was just done to set up the show and and that's really it where as here it plays a huge part in the shows plot with characters from other Lego sets coming in and it just makes the whole plot feel like a giant advertisement for Lego Star Wars sets and yet if you look at movies like The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie which yes were also used to try and sell us various Lego characters but they also had well thought out plots to them where as here the plot feels more like an afterthought to the product whereas if the makers of this sow had put more effort into the shows plot by actually making it a strong plot then the toys would have shifted themselves because of the fact that a good story would have been told in the first place with the plot of this show not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Gaten Matarazzo as Sig Greebling , Tony Revolori as Dev Greebling and Bobby Moynihan as Jedi Bob. Also starring in this show is Marsai Martin as Yesi Scala , Michael Cusack as Servo , Billy Dee Williams as Landolorian , Alan Tudyk as K-2SO , Ben Schwartz as Jaxxon T. Tumperakki , Dan Stevens as Master Solitus , Ahmed Best as Darth Jar Jar , Anthony Daniels as C-3PO , Sam Witwer as Maul , Helen Sadler as Darth Rey , Phil LaMarr as Darth Kit Fisto , Kelly Marie Tran as Darth Rose Tico , Matthew Wood as General Grievous and The Battle Droids , Kevin Michael Richardson as Jedi Jabba The Hutt , Naomi Ackie as Jedi Jannah , Jake Green as Greedo , Piotr Michael as Yoda , Shelby Young as Princess Leia , Matt Sloan as Jedi Vader , Trevor Devall as Jedi Master Sheev and Ackbar Troopers , Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker , Jennifer Hale as Viper , Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano , Catherine Taber as Pirate Queen Amidala , Nika Futterman as Asajj Ventress , James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi , Brian George as Ki-Adi-Mundi , Dee Bradley Baker as Kuiil , Darth Nubs , Nien Nunb and Snoke Clones and Andre Sogliuzzo as Cassian Andor.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With this not really being something that's all that surprising as alot of this shows actors are reprising their roles from other and more well known Star Wars projects and therefor it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances in this show as they would have had years and in the case of Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams decades of experience with playing their respective characters with it really being hard to say just who the best actor in this season of the show even if in the first place as you could make a case for it being either Gaten Matarazzo or Tony Revolori as they are the shows main characters and they do get alot of screen time in this season of the show but at the same time tho it could also be argued that the best actor in the show is someone like Helen Sadler who is the official voice actor for Rey and has a really nailed Daisy Ridley's voice for the character but if push did come to shove i'd say that the best actor in this season of the show is Tony Revolori as he really does get the chance to show of just what it is that he can really do as an actor in this season of the show and it is something that really does help make his performance the best one in this season of the show because of that fact with the acting that's in this show not really being helped by the fact that the scripts for this show are just so bad as they give none of this shows actors absolutely anything to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.

Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Atomic Cartoons. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad with the show having some pretty decent looking animation to it however that's really the best thing that can be said about the shows animation as for one reason or another the makers of the show tried to emulated the stop motion look of The Lego Movie when it's not really something that works for this show as is a show that requires the animation be alot more smoother and have those fluid movements like we would get in the direct to DVD Lego movies but to give credit where it's due the makers of this show did make sure to include the fact that everything in this world from the desert to the fire is made out of Lego pieces which is a nice attention to detail but at the same time tho there's really nothing about this show from an animation point of view that really does stand out as it feels like the team behind this show are just going through the motions as really there's none of the wit and charm that we would get from quite literally any of the previous Lego Star Wars specials with the animation really just feeling like it was just there and that's rally it but when the show does feature some good looking animation like in it's action scenes and transitions then it is something that really does look really good.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might have noticed the fact that we have one name missing from the list actors who are in this show and that's that fact that we also Cameron Monaghan as Cal Kestis in this show. With the character making his first ever none video game appearance in anything to do with Star Wars and while his inclusion in this show is basically nothing more then a cameo role as he only appears very briefly in two scenes in at least one episode the very fact that he was included at all does show you that the makers of this show are willing to put in other characters that aren't just either legacy characters from the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy but also newer characters from the sequel trilogy as well and while his appearance will no doubt confuse little kids as there not going to know just who he is due to the more mature nature of the games in which he appears the adults that played those games however will like the fact that he's made the leap to a streaming show albeit in a cameo role but it is something that does make you wonder if Lucasfilm either has bigger plans for the character and are using this show to get the none video game audience interested in the character or if Lego has a Cal Kestis figure coming out as this show was basically made to sell the toys in the first place that would make sense given just how popular of a character that he is amongst alot of people but at the same time it could also be that Lucasfilm are trying to see how kids would react to the character showing up to see if it's worth there time and money to put him in say another TV show or hopefully a movie as we know that the character has some adult fans due to them liking his character in the two Jedi Survivor video games but what we don't know is how kids feel about the character and therefor having him show up in a kids show in a cameo role would be a solid way to see how they feel about him as a character.

There are alot of things that seemed really off in this season of the show the first which being the fact that the character of Servo was just a super annoying character with him speaking over the opening ident for the first three episodes and just never EVER shutting up. To the fact that they literally have a scene in episode one of this season that's literally just there to tell you on the over priced new Death Star set that they announced a few weeks back which was just a pointless thing to include as it makes it super obvious that all this season was designed for is to sell the Lego sets to the kids but when that new Death Star set which they show off quite alot in episode one is £900 pounds or $1000 American dollars then something is clearly wrong but the worst offender is the fact that for a comedy there's nothing all that funny in this season of the show with the only bits of humor coming from the characters quite literally name dropping over and quite frankly better Star Wars projects be it from the movies to the various other TV shows and all that does is remind you that you could be watching something better and while yes this show was made for kids and so of course the jokes aren't going to be that funny but so was shows like the original Animaniacs and the original Tiny Toon Adventures and guess what they had gut bustingly funny jokes in them despite the fact that they were made kids just because something is made for kids isn't an excuse for turning lazy jokes as funny jokes will always be funny jokes no matter how old you are and having a robot character that doesn't shut up is not funny or clever it's annoying with Servo being the must annoying character in this show because of the fact that he doesn't shut up and yet we the audience are meant to be route for him if the makers of this show wanted us to route for him then they should have made him a less annoying character that actually shut up every once in a while.

To be frank this show does straight up copy Deadpool & Wolverine in one respect that being the fact that this season of the show also has a place were all of these forgotten about characters and in this case Lego sets end up. With the idea of the Forcehold being a fairly decent idea as it's made up of several different islands and is something that could make for a very fun playset should Lego chose to make one the issue is tho is that unlike the Void from Deadpool & Wolverine the Forcehold does seem like it's a really underdeveloped idea with it only showing up for a few scenes across three episodes and that's really it this is despite the fact that it does also kind of play a huge part in the plot of the season with the only thing that really could have fixed this was if we had several episodes instead of just four as then we could get to see more of this mysterious new land that hasn't been seen but for whatever reason the makers of this show instead chose to just have four episodes per season with this meaning that what could have been this really cool and fun idea that's filled to the brim with nods and winks to other parts of Star Wars lore is now just wasted potential like how cool would it have been to have some characters from the expanded universe show up for an episode or two or how cool would it have been to have characters that we had long forgotten show up to remind us all why we liked those characters so much in the first place this is something that worked so well in the first place as the fans of characters like Blade for example got to remember why they liked the character so much in the first place and the people that were watching Deadpool & Wolverine for the first time suddenly got introduced to this character that they didn't they were going to like and here they had the potential to do that but with Star Wars but they never took it for no good reason.

Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then exactly twenty three minuets. Which to be fair is pretty much the exact grand total running for these Lego Star Wars Disney+ shows with the show itself having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time however tho this show really doesn't it's running time all that wisely as due to it having a small episode count it doesn't really develop the plot of the show as the makers of the show are more focused on getting to the next cliff hanger ending without making those endings feel earned and yet if this season had about five or maybe perhaps even six episodes instead of the standard four episodes then it would allow for the shows plot to be alot more developed as now there's more time to spend on developing the plot and it would also mean that the show would now have the chance to earn those cliff hanger endings as they do all come out of nowhere with this even effecting the shows characters as while the characters from the first of the show don't really get effected by it that much the one character that does is quite easily Darth Solitus who gets introduced as Jedi Bob's former master who fell to the dark side before Bob trapped him in the forcehold and yet while his plan to destroy the galaxy is perfectly fine for a kids Star Wars project there's really nothing more to his character other then his plan as the show doesn't take the time to fully develop him as a character and fair enough this is a Lego show that's aimed at kids and therefor it would seem weird to expect character development in this kind of show but at the same time tho if they did have some form of character development for any of the shows characters then it would go along way into not only making the show more memorable but the characters more memorable as well but I really will admit this very show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As this seasons action really is the best part of the show itself as it's clear as day that the makers of this show are having the time of their lives in coming up with these really cool looking action scenes with them really making use of the fact that everything is made out of Lego just by having the fact that Sig builds alot of things during the shows action scenes to help him and his friends out which is a really creative idea and it's one that not only plays a part in the shows plot but also just looks really cool in it's own right with all four episodes having at the very least one action scene which is somethin that does make sense but at the same time kit does lead to the episodes being very tiring to watch as they don't give you a moment to truly catch your breath before the next big action scene takes place with the best action scene in the whole entire show being the big third act fight between with the Jedi and the Sith teaming up to take on Solitus and his own army of droids which is something that will always be cool to see with the makers of the episode really milking that one action scene for all it's worth which is something that really does make it all the more exciting to watch with the same thing also being true for the rest of the shows action scenes as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall while adults will have the next season of Star Wars Visions and The Mandalorian And Grogu the fact that the little kids will have this show does oddly feel right with this being a show that will only appease little kids which given that this show made exclusively for them is something that does also feel oddly right as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great the official Star Wars fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Lego: Star Wars Rebuild The Galaxy TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

Lego and Star Wars have had a few decent specials in the past and such it wasn't quite shocking when they announced that they were working on a TV miniseries together. With the miniseries in question having only just come out and as i've reviewed pretty much all of the the Lego Star Wars specials it really only made sense that I review this miniseries the very first chance that I get and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show sees the Star Wars universe enter the multiverse with the show in question being called simply just "Lego: Star Wars Rebuild The Galaxy" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when a piece that's binding the Star Wars galaxy as we know it is pulled out from a Jedi temple it's up to young hero Sig to travel across this new Star Wars galaxy in order to try and put his own galaxy back together again. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time the plot of this show isn't all that good either as it's not the kind of plot that works within the confides of the Star Wars franchise with the plot of this show being something that would work better in a show like Doctor Who for example where as here Star Wars has never experimented with alternative universes before now and while this is a non canon story it is something that does feel out of place in the Star Wars universe this is despite it being a really good plot for very little kids there's nothing that in this show plot wise that will please die hard Star Wars fans tho with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Gaten Matarazzo as Sig Greebling , Tony Revolori as Dev Greebling and Bobby Moynihan as Jedi Bob. Also starring in this show is Marsai Martin as Yesi Scala , Michael Cusack as Servo , Anthony Daniels as C-3PO , Dee Bradley Baker as Sgt. "Salty" Sharp , Wicket W. Warrick and An Sullustan X-Wing Pilot , Trevor Devall as Ackbar Troopers ,  Emperor Palpatine and Jedi Master Sheev , Kevin Michael Richardson as Farmer Scala and Jabba The Hutt , Matthew Wood as Human X-Wing Pilot and General Grievous , Shelby Young as Sulky Kid and Princess Leia , Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker , Ahmed Best as Darth Jar Jar , Helen Sadler as Darth Rey , Sam Witwer as Maul , Naomi Ackie as Jedi Jannah , Matt Sloan as Jedi Vader , Kelly Marie Tran as Darth Rose Tico , TC Carson as Mace Windu , voice acting legend Phil LaMarr as Darth Kit Fisto , Avengers: Infinity War star Ross Marquand as Han Solo , Piotr Michael as Yoda , Jake Green as Greedo and Jennifer Hale as Mon Mothma.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As the people that you expect to deliver a good performance really do deliver a really good performance the issue is tho is that the acting from alot of the shows more younger really isn't that good with alot of them being wither wooden or miscast at best and those that do deliver a solid performance get lost in the shuffle from all of the bad acting that this show has to offer and while it is great to see some true legendary Star Wars characters back again alot of them are only there for fanservice and nothing more then that with alot of them just appearing in one or two scenes in one episode and that's really it and while the sound alikes that they do get to play them do a good job playing those characters nothing will ever beat hearing the real thing which granted in some cases they had to recast there characters but it still would have been better hearing the actual live action actors return to voice there respective characters as that's just how good the original actors are as there respective characters with the acting that's in this show not really being helped by he fact that the script for this show just aren't that good with this shows actors not really being given alot to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does effect the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.

Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Atomic Cartoons. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as this show does take an animation style that's similar to The Lego Movie in that yes it's CGI but it's done in a way that makes it look like stop motion animation and that style is one that will never get old and it is something that does look good in this show with the shows animation being alot better then what it really had any right to be as nobody expects good animation from a Lego Star Wars Disney+ special and yet that's exactly what we get here in this show with the characters having some really smooth looking and fluid movements to them and while the show does have an animation style that's similar to The Lego Movie it doesn't copy everything that those movies did which do lessen the effect and remind you that your just watching a special instead of making you feel like that your playing with the actual Lego sets.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

There was one character that I left of the list of characters that actor Dee Bradley Baker is playing in this show and that's the fact that he's also playing Darth Nubs. Who as the name would suggest is an evil version of his character from Young Jedi Adventures with this show being a good way to have more of those characters given the fact that those characters can pretty much never appear further along in the timeline due to the fact that Young Jedi Adventures takes place during the High Republic Era with his appearance in this show being nothing more then a fanservice moment and even then it's not really something that alot of people will get given that this show has a much more older target audience then the younger audience that Yung Jedi Adventures is aiming to get but at the same time it was still fun seeing the character show up as an evil version of himself the issue is tho is that the show does nothing with his character with him really only appearing in one scene in episode two and that's really it as he just straight up disappears from the show which makes his inclusion in the show feel pointless especially as they could have had someone else play the role that he plays in this show as his character really does nothing in this show apart from be someone that the main villain of the show can yell at and that's really it.

One of the main talking points of this show while it was being promoted was the fact that they finally had an evil version of Jar-Jar Binks. With his character like all of the evil versions of characters all having the word Darth before there name and Darth Jar-Jar Binks is a really fun as at heart he's still the clumsy version of the character that we met all the way back The Phantom Menace which does make him fun to watch and the show does try to do something fun with his character by making an evil bounty hunter who's after the thing that our heroes have in order to give to an evil Sith Lord version of Sig's brother except he nearly always messes it up in some creative way which does make him a fun character but at the same time tho the show really doesn't feature his character all that much and do all that much with his character with the show only featuring a small handful of times when it would have been better if he served as a secondary antagonist for the main heroes instead of having that role filled in by the dull and uninteresting Darth Rey who is just as bland and just as uninteresting as the hero version of her character only now she's dressed all in black and never ever smiles where as with Darth Jar-Jar they could at least get some comedy out of his character which would be something that would appease the shows target kid audience as Jar-Jar Binks himself was a character that mostly kids really did like.

As a comedy this show isn't as funny as all of the other Lego Star Wars specials or even any of the Lego special for that matter. As in this show all of the jokes seem to be just references to other Star Wars media which is something that's fine for one or two jokes but when all of the shows jokes boil down to the characters making references to other Star Wars media not only does it start to get old and old really fast in this case it also goes along way to show you that the makers of this show really didn't bother to come up with any actually funny jokes and thought that just including references to the Star Wars projects would be more the  enough to create an actually funny jokes and while yes the show does do some funny things with it characters like by having the alternative Luke Skywalker be this surfer bro type of character who inherited his fathers Podracing skills is a funny idea but like alot of things in this show the makers of this show do nothing funny with that idea instead we only see him Podracing in one technically two episodes and that's really it when they could have done some really funny jokes and had some really creative set pieces with this version of Luke Skywalker Podracing and yet they do nothing with that idea and it just makes it seem like a waste of a good idea but to the shows credit they do hint at this good guy version of Darth Vader still being Luke's father in a pretty funny way but even then that joke could also be argues is nothing more then a fanservice moment as well.

Now then this show really has / has an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. With the show really having episodes that last no longer then twenty three minuets which is a solid running time for this show as the show really does have have just the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but even with that in mind the show doesn't resolve it's main plot line which does mean that there will mostly likely be more episodes in the future which does go against everything that was said in the build up to this show coming out as the show was promoted as being a four part limited series and with that in mind you'd expect them to finish of the plot of the show which they don't do which does mean that there really pushing the limits of this show from a running time point of view as if this show stuck with it's four episode order and stuck to that very limited running time then it would have been a very passable series where no scene feels wasted as every single scene was about advancing the plot and the character and yet now by stretching out and by possibly adding more episodes they run the risk of stretching the shows plot really thin as the show really doesn't have alot of plot there to cover more episodes but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk a bout the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. However on the flip side of that is the fact that this shows action really isn't all that good either not that it's bad because it's not it's just not as fun and not as creative as you'd want it to be with alot of boiling down to who can hit who the hardest and there not really being any variation in that with there being the occasional aerial battle and that's really it and while we do get some of the creativity that Lego is known for we don't get to see all that often which is a shame because when they do get be really creative that's when the action scenes are not only really fun to watch but it's also when there really engaging to watch as well as we the audience are then left wondering how the character really will get out of this situation all of which makes you wonder why the overall vast majority of this shows action is not only very boring to look at but is also very predictable as well as it because very obvious very quickly not only who is going to come out on top in the action scene but also tho the characters will end up escaping the action scene as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall this wasn't a bad series but at the same tie it wasn't a good one as while yes it will indeed please some of the young audience that this show is quite clearly trying to reach those are the only ones that will get some enjoyment from this show as there's not alot that's actually enjoyable about this actual show in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very show and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great the official Star Wars fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation Film Review

 

Star Wars special used to be something that happened very rarely if ever now it seems that we're getting a new one every year. Well now we have yet another new Star Wars special and well then this one might very well be the worse one yet since this is nothing more then one big advertisement for a certain Star Wars themed hotel and so then join me as I review the special that is quite possible the worse Star Wars special in recent memory with the special in question being called simply just "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation" enjoy.

The plot of this special is Finn takes his friends on vacation only only for them all to keep on not including him in things. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty just OK at best since this special is quite clearly aimed at a much younger audience but at the same time this specials plot was also really thin and that will always be a very bad thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this special is Weird Al Yankovic as Vic Vankoh , Allie Feder as Sy Snootles and Anthony Daniels as C-3PO. Also starring in this special is Ashly Burch as Mahlnor and Tour Droid , Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian , Dee Bradley Baker as Boba Fett, BV-RJ and Wicket , Eric Bauza as Luke Skywalker and Stormtrooper , Helen Sadler as Rey , Jake Green as Poe Dameron and Resort Guest #2 , James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jawa , Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico , Kevin Michael Richardson as Jabba The Hutt , Kyliegh Curran as Sidero , Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker and Rodian , Matt Sloan as Darth Vader , Matthew Wood as Ben Solo and Resort Guest #1 , Omar Miller as Finn , Paul F. Tompkins as Rad , Ross Marquand as Han Solo , Shelby Young as Princess Leia Organa , Thomas Lennon as Wick Cooper , Trevor Devall as Emperor Palpatine,  Wuher, Mon Calamari and Imperial Officer and Yvette Nicole Brown as Colvett Valeria.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this films cast turning in some really good performances which makes sense to me since alot of this films cast have played these characters for decades in some cases and so then they would know what kind of performance would work well enough for their respective characters in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Doing the animation for this special is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Atomic Cartoons. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty the best thing about this special since this specials animation is just so good and is very visually stunning to look at as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I'm just going to be very brutally honest with you here but this special is nothing more then a blatant advertisement for Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser. Which just goes to show you just how desperate Disney are for people to book rooms for this hotel and I can tell you right now at $6000 per person this advertisement won't work because the prices are still way to high and your still locked into this building when all you really want to be doing is going outside and exploring the Disney theme parks in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I know what your all thinking and yes animated kids TV shows and movies in the eighties and nineties where only made to sell a product. The difference is tho those toys that they were trying to sell us were actually affordable where as this Star Wars themed hotel is $6000 per-person and that's not including any kind of spending money and if you live in another country you have to include plane tickets so your looking at $8000 maybe even $9000 and that's something that the average just doesn't have and so then having a special essentially revolve around this hotel just doesn't work at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

This special is really just a bunch of different segments that are all just very loosely connected to each other. Which does work in the context of this special but at the same time it also makes the special feel like that it's repeat mode alot of the time and that does make this special feel very repetitive which is something that cannot be said for alot of the other specials all of which had a sense of progression and that is something that is very sorely missing from this very special indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty five minuets and two seconds. Which even with this incredibly short running time still feels alot longer then what it actually needs to be since alot of the flashback scenes don't really add much to Finn's story arc in this special with alot of them just going on for alot longer then what is really needed and so I really do think that this special could or perhaps even should have been at the very least thirty minuets long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

So now then since this film is meat to be a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad. Which is a shame because Lego is usually good when it comes to to their comedy but here I don't think that I laughed even once which for a comedy is a very bad thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall interms of the more recent Star Wars specials this one is quite possibly the worst one since it has no charm to it and it's an unfunny advertisement for a hotel that alot of people can't even afford to go to in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very special erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 4 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special Review

 

As alot of you Star Wars knw there has only been one Star Wars holiday special and to say that it was pretty bad would be a huge understatement. Well now the folkes over at Lego and Disney have teamed up in order to bring us another one because the world was just begging for another Star Wars holiday special and not you know an actually GOOD Star Wars movie and so here is my review of "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" enjoy.

The plot of this special is Rey somehow finds the key to time travel and so with BB8 by her side goes travelling through the Star Wars timeline while trying to learn to be a good master to Finn for some reason. I will admit that the plot to thing special is alot better then the one for the first Star Wars holiday special just because this one actually has a plot but at the same time the plot for this special makes no sense very little sense since at the end of The Rise Of Skywalker Rey was on her own and not with her friends and certainly wasn't training Finn to be a jedi but as a thing meant for little kids the plot is decent enough but that's really it.

Starring in this special is Helen Sadler as Rey , James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian. Also starring in the special is  A.J. LoCascio as Han Solo and a Jawa , Anthony Daniels asC-3PO , Ben Prendergast as Darth Maul and General Hux , Dee Bradley Baker as Clone Trooper and Max Rebo , Eric Bauza as Luke Skywalker and Stormtrooper , one of the only actors from the films to reprise their role for this special we have Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico and Matt Sloan as Darth Vader.

As for what I thought about the acting in the special it was honestly a lot better then it had any right to be if i'm being honest. No one would have blamed these actors if they chose to phone in their performances but no all of the actors in this special do a really good at playing their respective characters and Helen Sadler does such a good impression of Daisy Ridley that I legit thought that they brought Daisy Ridley back to play Rey.

Doing the animation for this special  is Atomic Cartoons or at least I assume so since the special only has them listed as doing production services but they are the closest company I could find in terms of who did the animation. As for what I thought about the animation in this special it wasn't that bad the issue is tho it wasn't that good either it was at best passable which for a Lego special or direct to DVD film makes sense but not for something related to Star Wars.

For any of you that don't know this special takes place after The Rise Of Skywalker which honestly a few inconsistencies. The first of which being when that film ended Rey was on Tatooine and wasn't a jedi master the second of which is the fact that Finn wasn't training to be a jedi and Rey hadn't said that she would take him on and be his jedi master these are basic continuity issues that could have been addressed in the special and it just goes to show you that the makers behind this special never even saw The Rise Of Skywalker.

While what I just said about the continuity might seem like nitpicking to a die hard Star Wars fan ignoring the continuity of any film regardless of weather or not the film is bad is always going to be an issue. The other thing that I have an issue with is even tho this special might be non canon if it is canon then they've just introduced time travel into the world of Star Wars is just freaking stupid because Star Wars was always space fantasy and not science fiction.

I will admit this Star Wars holiday special is alot better then the first one simply because of two reason the first one being you can actually understand what the main characters are saying and secondly this one actually has a plot. Both of these reasons make this special alot better then the first Star Wars holiday special which I know isn't a high bar to achieve it is still something that's worth pointing out in my opinion.

This special has a running time of forty four minuets and fifty seven seconds so let's round that up nicely to forty five minuets. This running time for me personally was a bit long simply because the film simply doesn't have the running time to cover that length of time and so scenes shouldn't take that long now take nearly ten times as long because they have to stretch a twenty two minuet plot into an almost forty five minuet plot which simply doesn't work in my opinion.

Now then there is some action in this special and so that means that I have to talk about the action that's in the special itself. Which I have to admit was honestly really good and the action for me is where the special is the most fun just because you get to see people from different eras of Star Wars media fighting either with or against each other which for me at least was really fun to see since if you have alot of Star Wars Lego then you might have say Rey and Darth Maul fight each for example the only limitations when it comes to lego is your own imagination and that's something that's carried through to this special in my opinion.

Overall yeah this Star Wars holiday special is alot better then the first Star Wars holiday special like I said that's not exactly a high bar to reach. That said this special has many issues with it a number of which i've covered in this review and some of which i've covered in this review and one of which is just so dumb that honestly it's not even worth talking about and so this Star Wars holiday special gets a 6 out of 10 from me.

All of the images that I used in this review were gathered from either the official Star Wars fandom wiki page (called Wookieepedia) and Google Images. Honestly out of the two websites that I used i'd say that Wookieepedia aka the official Star Wars fandom wiki page is the better website for images just because the images on there are very high definition but Google Images has more of a verity of images so i'd say use either website if you want images from this special but that's just me and you can watch this special right now on Disney+.
