Luke Skywalker embarks on a mission to find and destroy an Imperial base on Naboo, but is relentlessly chased by a group of fanatic girls, who think of him as a celebrity for destroying the Death Star. Meanwhile, Darth Vader engages a "sibling" rivalry with Darth Maul, in order to prove he's the best Sith Lord to Emperor Palpatine. "Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out" is a 22-minute short film from 2 years ago directed by Guy Vasilovich and written by 2-time Emmy winner ("The Simpsons") Michael Price. It includes basically all the major characters from the original Star Wars movies, so people who really love the franchise will maybe appreciate this short film. However, you will also have to like the Lego style animation which has become so popular in recent years. I myself am not too big on it and I am also not the greatest Star Wars fan. This is why my general review on this title is rather negative. However, this is just because of personal preference and maybe you have also seen some of the other Star Wars meets Lego films, then you should know very well if this one is for you. I'm a real Star Wars fan and when I heard of this title, I really had to see it for myself. I thought at first that this one was as 'serious' as the previous one, but boy! Was I wrong! The humor is good, even so very good, I laughed out loud several times. Yes, it is that funny! The animation is very well made, and crispy clear. The music is OK, but could be better… But when you see this on DVD, buy it! (I watched it on Cartoon Network) This is truly a movie for those long boring days. You won't regret it one second. I only wonder if there will be a part 3, I surely would watch that too, and I hope the humor will be even wittier than this one. I don't bother with the very first one though – that one was almost devoid of humor… I prefer this title and NOT the Padawan Menace…
