But when she finds herself forced to give him a wooden one, and Finn manages to set it on fire, Rey realizes the tragic situation. We, on the other hand, are aware that we are in front of - after 42 years - a new Christmas special by Star Wars, which takes the name of Lego Star Wars: Christmas Special. This deals with putting together characters from the Star Wars saga and the Lego world, placing itself immediately after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Ready to know if our heroes will be able to save Nat… emh Life Day?

Rey and Finn's training is abruptly interrupted by the arrival of all the characters of the new trilogy, Poe Dameron, Rose tico, Chewbe, the droids BB8 and the new C- 3PO, ready to throw the biggest Life Day celebration ever seen in the far distant galaxy; but Rey has a job to do.

Thus he leaves together with BB8 with the promise to be back in time for dinner. Arrived on the planet, will be able to get hold of the key to the galaxy's past. Thus begins a journey back in time, crossing all the iconic scenes of the saga and meeting all the protagonists, giving life to a hilarious multiverse that will endanger the fate of the known universe.
Il master Yoda e Luke Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn e Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker e Darth Vader, all the iconic couples of the Star Wars world return to the scene as bricks, to implicitly teach Rey something, but also to threaten the peace and the fate of the holiday. Above all the villain par excellence of the brand, the best evil emperor in the galaxy, that is Palpatinewill try to seduce the poor again Kylo Ren (also here always shirtless) to make him the banner of his evil plans. But the power of Christmas will be able to unite this multiverse and make peace triumph once again.
Christmas or not Christmas, you just have to try
This Holiday special has definitely hit the mark. Hilarious, ironic, but also epic and action-packed, Lego Star Wars: Christmas Special has fully convinced us, managing to condense all the key elements of the two brands in three quarters of an hour and make them even more special thanks to this particular mix. . The reference to the World of Worlds of the animated series Star Wars Rebels, then, it turns out to be a perfect narrative device capable of combining this new short film both with the 1978 special and with all the trilogies of the saga, thus justifying the meeting / clash of characters who should never, ever have known each other. Friends and enemies, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, will thus find themselves fighting for the salvation of the galaxy and the precious Wookie holiday, bringing to the screen epic battles and comic scenes that tear more than a smile, thanks also to the countless possibilities it grants the brick structure of lego. There is even room for the Mandalorian and for his little child green.
The soundtrack is typical of the series, perfectly recreated and able to immediately transport us to the Star Wars galaxy. Visually, then, it is a pleasure for the eyes, referring to the atmosphere and graphic style of the latest major Lego-themed film productions, such as The Lego Movie e Lego Batman - The Movie. The plot is simple but effective and manages to entertain and entertain for the duration of the short. Obviously, the mood is the classic one of films based on the Lego brand, therefore aimed at a younger audience, but the setting linked to Star Wars certainly manages to attract all fans of the two worlds. A decidedly successful multiverse then, and a special one that, we believe, will certainly come back during the upcoming holidays to repeat an experience that has really fascinated us.
