After the events of Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019), Poe Dameron and BB-8 must make an emergency landing on the volcanic planet Mustafar where they meet the greedy and conniving Graballa the Hutt. The crime boss has purchased Darth Vader's castle and is renovating it into the galaxy's first all-inclusive Sith-inspired luxury hotel. While waiting for his X-Wing to be repaired, Poe, BB-8, Graballa, and Dean (a plucky and courageous young boy who works as Graballa's mechanic) venture deep into the mysterious castle with Vader's loyal servant, Vaneé.
LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales 4K ReviewWell, 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.
