Boring, long, and too preachy.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

When I watched this for the first time I was literally crying with laughter it is the funniest Lego Short in history! The good: Its really funny and a great family film with outstanding jokes and a lovely story you will enjoy and its loving. The Bad: If you were thinking its was a big movie where you eat popcorn with the family but its not its on for 20 minutes and the funniest joke in the film that made me cry gets a bit old so you have to watch it again in about a a week or two so you can have a laugh again. Overall its a Good fun movie but it could of been better if it was a fun full movie so you can have a laugh for about 1 hour, its 7/10 it was going to be 8/10 but I thought it was too much

If you're a Star Wars fan anywhere from 8 years old to adult, you will love this movie - I was initially skeptical of buying a movie only 22 minutes long, but it crams an incredible amount of humor and detail into it. You will likely watch it at least 3 times to pick up all the funny elements, quick-witted lines, references to the live-action Star Wars movies, and details and jokes in the background.The animation is very good and fitting for a LEGO Star Wars movie. The storyline is not complex or refined, but that doesn't matter, as the intent and focus is squarely on humor. The humor is best appreciated the more you know the Star Wars movies - most of it is parody, very little is cheap silly humor.

One doesn't sit down to watch a direct-to-DVD Star Wars themed animated Lego movie expecting Toy Story. However, is it too much to expect the makers to have at least tried to tell an actual story? On the plus side, the animation here is quite nice, perfectly capturing the spirit of the actual Lego toys on which it's based, and it was a pleasant surprise to hear a few actual Star Wars actors providing the voices for their characters. But the story—such as it is—feels like nothing more than an empty vessel to hold a series of lame, half-hearted gags. I have a young niece and nephew and I know for a fact that there's a lot of very clever children's entertainment out there right now. Sadly, this isn't it.

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...
