LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out

2012 · 22 min

A giddy, joke-dense toy-box romp that plays the space opera for slapstick and fan in-jokes, easy to dip into and never taking itself seriously.

Tagline: Get your lightsabers and LEGO bricks ready.
Overview: Luke Skywalker embarks on a mission to destroy an Imperial base, but is relentlessly chased by a group of fanatic girls who think of him as a celebrity. Meanwhile, Darth Vader engages a rivalry with Darth Maul, in order to prove that he's the best Sith Lord.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, absurd and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Celebrity, obsession, identity, power
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
