Lego Star Wars Holiday Special - Holiday Movie Musings

Like the franchise predecessors, both as shorts and full-run movies, the Lego Star Wars Holiday special is as much for the adults as the kids (if not more!). It is full of quick, snappy punchlines and Easter egg references for fans of Star Wars. I am not a big enough fan to be the one to suss it out, but I have to believe there is at least one reference to every single movie and television Star Wars franchise. Set around Life Day—the Christmas-like holiday we were introduced to in the original (and purely surreal) Star Wars Holiday Special from the 70’s, we follow our favorite pals from the latest storylines—Rey, Po, Finn, and the gang—as they prepare for the celebration and get into a fair amount of trouble. 

We were laughing out loud over and over throughout this movie, and will definitely watch it again. Highly recommend for Star Wars or Lego movie fans. It’s a hoot n’ a half.
