| User ReviewJosh RBooklover11's Mini Reviews: This has got to be one of the funniest movies I've seen since Charlie Chaplin and The Blues Brothers. I'm dead serious, this is laugh out loud funny, great jokes, great animation, and it even pushes itself more to adults, with pop culture references and awesome comedic timing. I just want to name every single scene that made me laugh out loud in this film. Actually, I'm going to do it. The film's only 22 minutes long, I want to show how much I like this film by naming the most clever scenes in order: The Top 5 Funniest Scenes In This Film (5=Least Funny, 1=Most Funny) 5. Younglings are returning from a field trip in space, where they come across Anakin Skywalker fighting an opponent in a space ship, possibly from Episode: III, where him and his opponent stop for several seconds just to have pictures taken. Nice and quick. How Funny?: 7/10. 4. Yoda tells Han Solo to sleep in the stomach of a creature in Hoth, like in Episode: V, where a Droid immediately pops out of the stomach and get's shot by Yoda. Random, but funny. How Funny?: 8/10. 3. R2-D2 and C-3PO are captured by Jabba, and forced into fighting each other, and C-3PO says he can't fight his best friend, which is immediately followed by R2-D2 attempting to beat C-3PO senseless. Just hilarious. How Funny?: 9/10. 2. R2-D2 and C-3PO are about to enter the bar from Episode: IV, but R2-D2 shows C-3PO the scene from episode IV where C-3PO was kicked out of the bar for being a droid. Awesome reference. How Funny?: 9/10. 1. This is a running joke that just made me burst out laughing, all three times. A regular scene happens, it's all fine and good, and then Darth Vader pops out, trying to get a cameo in the film. Each time, George Lucas (Character, not the actually George Lucas) walks onto the set and tells Vader "This isn't your Scene". How Funny?: 10/10. Well, I did it. All the scenes that made me laugh out loud, and this was only in 22 minutes, and there were some jokes I left out just because they weren't as funny, like Jar Jar's appearance, where he starts speaking in that weird accent, and only in 4 seconds, get's shot to pieces, with him screaming comically. That was the only time Jar Jar made me laugh. Seriously, though, this is a hilarious short, with several minor flaws, like the children characters/actors were kinda annoying, but I don't care, there's a funny joke every minute, so it's not that hard to watch those boring scenes. Overall: It's awesome. Recommended to fans of Lego and Star Wars, and children, as they'll definitely enjoy it as much as I did. 5 Stars. |
| User ReviewOwen DThis is hilarious. I thought it would be for younger kids but when I saw it I was laughing. It also delivers in its color palette and plot. |

| User ReviewTroy FSo awesome when it came out I rushed to Walmart to get it |
| User ReviewAsif KHilarious, loving send-up of the Star Wars saga total in gorgeous CGI Lego blocks that tells the tale of Yoda, fresh from school field trip with a group of Padawan younglings when he senses a plot to steal the Republic's Secret Battle Plans. As the increasingly exasperated Jedi master pursues the plans aided/hindered by a stowaway boy named "Ian," C3PO and R2D2 find themselves babysitting the younglings which somehow leads them all the way from Coruscant to the famous cantina on Tatooine. Non-stop in-jokes and some hilarious cameos dominate the charming little tale, though it is funnier if you are familiar with the source material. The Lego Star Wars brand is one of the most endearing crossovers ever, and hopefully more short films like this will be on the horizon. Awesome stuff! |
| User ReviewCharles Ei loved this, it was fun and reminded me of what made the original films great |
| User ReviewWes SThe premise of this short is that Yoda is taking a group of younglings from the Jedi Temple on a field trip to the Galactic Senate. However, he soon notices that the group of students has a tag along, a certain youngster he has a hard time getting his hands on! Further complicating matters is a plot by Darth Sidious to have his assassin, Asajj Ventress, bomb the Galactic Senate at the same moment the field trip is passing through!! The adventure that unfolds is a fast paced and funny affair, taking our heroes to such familiar worlds as Hoth and beyond. And, I caught on to this pretty early, but the mysterious tag along has a certain secret identity that we can all appreciate. This was a pretty good film, short but sweet. Of course taking place in the Lego universe means it is a delight on the eyes, all those fantastic bricked creations in Star Wars format!! And it's funny too, just like all of the other various Lego media outlets usually tend to be. My wife's mom was down last weekend and unfortunately the two women folk were talking quite loudly during the showing, so James and I didn't get to pay as close attention to this movie as we would have liked, so I'm trying to find it on DVD so we can watch it again whenever we wish. So far that's proving harder than I originally thought it would be though . . . |
| User ReviewEllena BDamn funny. Highlight was the clip from "Keeping Up With The Calrissians". |
