Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation

After having enjoyed watching the 2020 "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" and the 2021 "LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales", I must admit that I was looking forward to watching the 2022 "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation" as well.

And while it was watchable, however, I must say that the 2022 "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation" wasn't as funny or enjoyable as the previous two Lego Star Wars animated movies were. Don't get me wrong here, because I am not saying that writer David Shayne and director Ken Cunningham didn't deliver here, because they did, it was just lacking a bit in entertainment value.

The storyline fell a little bit short of capturing my full interest. Sure, there were pieces here and there that were good, but the overall impression was, as Emperor Palpatine said in this animated movie, "meh". It felt bland and rushed.

There were some good small references to all trilogies throughout the course of "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation".

The animation and graphics were good, as it usually is with these Lego products. And they had a good group of voice actors and actresses for the characters.

All in all, a watchable attempt, but not a spot on attempt. My rating of "LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation" lands on a five out of ten stars.

The original Lego Star Wars videos were hilarious and very entertaining. Some of the other recent Lego Start Wars episodes have been ok. This one was just not good at all.

The whole family watched it together, and at no point did anyone laugh at all except maybe a half-hearted chuckle here and there. And the flashback moments were just a reminder of way better Star Wars moments. My kids even started yawning halfway through and asking when it was done.

Disney, you can do better and not just expect everyone to automatically like it because it's Star Wars and Legos.

Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation is the latest in a long line of Lego Star Wars movies (some being direct-to-video, but newer ones have since been released exclusively on Disney+). In this adventure, Rey and her friends, arrive aboard the Halcyon, a luxury star cruiser owned by Lando Calrissian, who is the newly appointed ambassador of the Chandrila Star Line, Finn wants to spend time doing stuff with his friends because it may be the last time, but they do their own thing. Thankfully, Obi-Wan Kenobi and the spirits of other Jedi come to console him, as they tell stories about other vacations gone wrong.

This special is basically a collection of stories set in various times of the Star Wars franchise, with the main story being set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker (as well as the other Lego specials set after the ninth film). From Obi-Wan teaming up with Colvett Valeria from The Freemaker Adventure for a heist during Jabba the Hutt's barbeque birthday, to a tale of Darth Vader helping Emperor Palpatine enjoy a vacation on a beach where a party by Vic Vankoh, a character voiced by legendary singer/comedian Weird Al Yankovich, is held, each story taught a good moral to Finn. Also, the stories are neat, despite the Lego movies being their own continuity and not connected to the movies and the various TV shows, cartoons, and movies Disney tends to release in bulk to connect the gaps, and it may not appeal to the older Star Wars fans, but kids will love it, as the voice acting is well done, and the stories are neat.

Really boring lame not good at all I was kind of excited for this the terrifying tales was meh but this is worse it is not good it's bad and the holiday special is the best one it's OK it's better than this one.

Why is disney just using old good characters with old characters in the hope we will like the new ones.

The writing also isn't that good, even the general style we get from "lego" writing sucks.
