Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales (2015)

Some very witty observations on the Star Wars films

[7/10 · 6 February 2017]

I've heard that there are better "LEGO Star Wars" shows, but at the time of writing this review I haven't seen any others. What I saw I liked, and I'll certainly watch the other LEGO shows now that I've seen this. It's a joy to hear Anthony Daniels reprise his role as C-3PO for such a modest production, and the voice acting is consistently well-timed, which is important when trying to make people laugh. Some of the jokes, especially in the final episodes, were a little too childish to be appreciated by older viewers. Many of them, though, were very witty observations which often poked fun at the not-quite-praised aspects of the films. Die-hard fans tend to take things a little seriously; you wouldn't believe the number of vitriolic arguments I've read over "Star Wars"! It's good to reflect on the sillier side of things, and "Droid Tales" offers a very good opportunity to do so.
