Not all Halloween movies have to be bloody or spine-chilling. This year, Disney+ gives us a new Lego Star Wars special titled Terrifying Tales.
Poe Dameron (Jake Green) and BB-8 are cruising the skies taking out the last of the Empire’s fighters. When their ship takes damage, they are forced to crash land on the planet Mustafar. There just happens to be a Hutt named Graballa (Dana Snyder) trying to turn Darth Vader’s old castle into a hotel. Poe tries to get Graballa to let Dean (Raphael Alejandro), a plucky young mechanic, fix his ship. Instead, they end up on a tour of the inside of the castle, led by Vader’s servant, Vaneé (Tony Hale). The group is forced to listen to three creepy stories linked to Kylo Ren, Darth Maul, and Darth Vader. But the stories are more than just stories. Can Poe and Dean stop Vaneé from completing his sinister plan?
To start off, I’m not the biggest Star Wars fan. I like it just fine but I’m not fangirling over the characters or searching out every piece of information on the plot. That said, Terrifying Tales was cute. It wasn’t particularly scary, considering it is aimed at small children. But there are some cute zombie-ish motifs going on.
If you are a fan of the Star Wars universe or just Lego Star Wars alone, you might find the special interesting. Hey, even if you aren’t a fan, at least there are some adorable BB-8 moments that you should enjoy. Keep an eye out for BB-8s jack-o-lantern costume!
