Disney+ has released the trailer for their upcomingThe LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, which will debut on the streaming service one week before Thanksgiving starting November 17. In the footage, Rey and Darth Vader both come into contact withThe Mandalorian’s Baby Yoda. As for how that is able to happen, we have learned that Rey will be going on a “cross-timeline” adventure, which is teased in the brief trailer, along with some very familiar faces from throughout theStar Warsuniverse.
TheLEGO Star Wars Holiday Specialtakes place directly following the events ofThe Rise of Skywalker. Rey leaves her friends to prepare forLife Dayas she sets off on a new adventure with BB-8 to gain a deeper knowledge of the Force. At a mysterious Jedi Temple, she is hurled into a cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments inStar Warscinematic history, coming into contact with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, the Child, Obi-Wan, and other iconic heroes and villains from all nine Skywalker saga installments. But will she make it back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of the holiday spirit?
TheLEGO Star Wars Holiday Special brings back franchise starsKelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) and Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), as well asStar Wars: The Clone Warsveterans Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker), Tom Kane (Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn), James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), and Dee Bradley Baker (clone troopers).
There are plenty of nods to some inside jokes from the franchise spread around the trailer, and one can see that Lucasfilm is having a lot of fun poking fun at themselves in the process. The originalStar Wars Holiday Specialis something that George Lucas wishes never saw the light of day, and a lot of fans would have to agree with him. However, there are plenty of hardcoreStar Warsdevotees who have come to love the special and all of its cheesiness. While it wasn’t the best thing Lucas has ever done, it did introduce the world to Boba Fett and helped influenceThe Mandalorian, so it’s not all bad.
TheLEGO Star Wars Holiday Specialis all set to premiere November 17th, exclusively onDisney+.Star Watsfans will be given the holiday special and a new episode ofThe Mandalorianwithin days of each other, which sounds like the perfect holiday gift. Din Djarin and the Child make an appearance in the holiday special, but fans are probably more interested in seeing where the duo end up on their own show, which just premiered. The special is a production of Atomic Cartoons, the LEGO Group, and Lucasfilm. It is directed by Ken Cunningham and written by David Shayne, who is also co-executive producer. James Waugh, Josh Rimes, Jason Cosler, Jacqui Lopez, Jill Wilfert and Keith Malone are executive producers.
