This LEGO Star Wars special tries to give a spooky twist to the galaxy with kid-friendly horror stories. The anthology format works at times, and while the humor sticks to LEGO's signature tone, not every tale manages to land. The idea of exploring the dark side through parody is fun, but the execution can feel flat or too predictable.
Even so, there are charming moments, fan-service nods, and a visual style that delivers, though without much surprise. It's not the best in this series of specials, but it’s not a failure either. If you go in with low expectations, it can be a decent Halloween night watch for the family. Nothing more… but nothing less, either.
This LEGO Star Wars holiday special manages to do what many similar productions can’t: it makes you laugh, keeps you entertained, and even delivers that cozy warmth we crave during the festive season. It doesn’t reinvent anything, but its trip through various moments in the saga, packed with clever visual gags and brisk pacing, works surprisingly well. The colorful style and the well-balanced humor, though mainly aimed at children, are handled with care.
It’s charming, packed with references for fans, and never overstays its welcome. It’s not trying to be an epic space adventure, but it succeeds as a lighthearted and endearing celebration of the Star Wars universe. Perfect to watch with kids or just for a good laugh. And honestly, it’s a huge step up from the infamous 1978 Holiday Special—that alone says a lot.
Esta antología de cortos animados es mucho más que un "extra" para fans. Es una extensión esencial del universo Star Wars, construida con mimo y precisión, que se atreve a llenar huecos importantes en la historia de personajes clave como Ahsoka Tano y el Conde Dooku. No es solo un ejercicio nostálgico, es una pieza con alma propia.
La animación sigue la línea de The Clone Wars, pero con un acabado aún más pulido y una dirección artística elegante, donde cada encuadre parece pensado como una viñeta importante. A nivel visual es una delicia. Pero lo más llamativo es cómo consigue emocionar y dar profundidad con apenas unos minutos por episodio.
La historia de Ahsoka tiene un tono melancólico que complementa perfectamente todo lo que sabíamos de ella. Y lo de Dooku… simplemente necesario. Es un personaje al que no se le había hecho justicia hasta ahora. Aquí por fin entendemos sus motivaciones, sus conflictos, su caída.
Puede que algunos esperaran una serie más larga o con otros Jedi como protagonistas, pero este formato breve funciona. Quizá por eso mismo: va al grano, no pierde el tiempo, y deja huella.
Si amas el universo de George Lucas, Crónicas Jedi no solo es recomendable: es imprescindible.
Few animated series have managed to expand the Star Wars universe as successfully as Rebels. At first glance, it might seem aimed only at a younger audience, but it quickly becomes essential for any fan who wants to truly understand the fate of many key characters seen later in The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, or even the classic movies.
It takes a little time to get into it, especially if you're coming from The Clone Wars, as the tone feels lighter and the designs are more stylized. But once you get to know Ezra, Kanan, Sabine, Hera, and Chopper, it's easy to care about them and get fully invested in their journey. Each season gains depth, adds meaningful connections to canon, and delivers genuinely emotional moments.
What’s most surprising is how well it balances action with character development. Space battles and lightsaber duels are beautifully animated, but there’s also room for fear, loyalty, sacrifice, and the weight of choices. Some episodes leave a lasting impression that goes beyond Star Wars itself.
Rebels also works as the perfect bridge between the prequels and the original trilogy. Familiar faces, Ahsoka’s journey, and the growing tension between the Empire and the Rebellion all come together seamlessly, showing just how carefully it’s been built.
Sure, there are some simpler episodes geared toward younger viewers, but even those show care, consistency, and a clear intent to build something meaningful. And when the show hits its emotional highs, it really soars. If you care about Star Wars lore and want to feel part of something bigger, this series delivers.
Jojo Rabbit is a strange film. At times, it plays like a sweet, light comedy; other times, it dives into absurdity; and occasionally, it edges toward something darker and more emotional. That mix is both its greatest strength and its biggest flaw. There’s something oddly captivating about it, something that makes it stand out — but also leaves you unsure how to feel.
The premise is bold: showing Nazism through the naive, distorted eyes of a child whose imaginary friend is Hitler. It sounds like madness, but the overall tone stays on its feet thanks to a balance between ridiculousness and genuine warmth. The humor works often, especially early on, but starts to wear thin when it leans too hard on the same type of joke.
The story follows a clear arc, and it’s fair to say the main character is well developed. His emotional growth is nuanced, helping the audience stay engaged even when the movie gets a bit scattered. The cast adds a lot, too — there are honest, grounded performances that carry the film even in its most over-the-top moments.
Still, there’s something off about the pacing. Some tonal shifts feel clumsy, and the move toward drama isn’t always smooth. The film wants to say important things — and sometimes it does — but other times it gets stuck somewhere between childish and tragic, never quite landing on either.
That said, it’s impossible to deny its personality. Jojo Rabbit doesn’t feel like anything else. And even if its originality causes a few stumbles, it delivers moments that genuinely move you. Its message, though a bit simplified at times, comes through clearly. And the visual flair — the color, music, and stylish direction — helps it hold together better than expected.
It’s a film that entertains, that brings out smiles, and at times reaches something more heartfelt. It may not be perfect, but it has soul — and that’s always worth something.
