Lego Star Wars: Terrifying Tales (2021) 🎃🛠️

Let’s start by showing y’all the trailers, shall we? 🎥

Who remembers this? Doesn’t matter 😏 — today we’re diving into Lego Star Wars: Terrifying Tales, a Halloween-themed anthology that gives us spooky stories from a galaxy far, far away… told in only the way Lego can: with equal parts absurdity and charm 🧱👻.

Non-Spoiler Plot Rundown 📝

We follow Poe Dameron ✈️, who crash-lands on Mustafar — yes, that Mustafar — right in front of Darth Vader’s castle 🏰🔥.

Except… Vader’s castle is now owned by none other than Graballa the Hutt 💼💰 (yep, he’s back from Freemaker Adventures, still scheming for profit). His new business venture? Turning Vader’s home of lava and pain into a luxury hotel. Naturally.

Graballa assumes Poe’s here to check out the resort 🏖️, and sends his assistant/servant kid to take Poe’s bags up to his “room.” Problem: Poe’s not here for the spa.

While on the “tour,” they meet a creepy hooded figure 🕴️ — yes, the same guy from Rogue One who tells Vader “Director Krennic has arrived.” I can’t believe we’re dusting off this guy for main character duty, but here we are.

This mysterious figure begins telling Poe and the kid a series of “terrifying” tales…

1. The Wookiee’s Paw 🐾 – a Star Wars twist on the Monkey’s Paw, where wishes go hilariously wrong.


2. The Rise of Darth Maul (Again) ⚔️ – Maul gets revived by the Nightsisters, because apparently Clone Wars wasn’t enough to tell you that.


3. The Nights of Ren 🏍️ – Young Ben Solo meets a space biker gang, joins up, and officially earns the “wannabe Vader with a side of wannabe biker” title.



While the stories are over-the-top Lego fun, the big question is: why is Creepy Hood Guy telling these to Poe and this random kid? 🤨 All will be revealed in the spoilers.

Pros ✅

Graballa the Hutt continues to be an underrated Lego Star Wars treasure 🐌💸.

The anthology format lets them go wild with alternate-universe ideas 🌌.

The Wookiee’s Paw segment is surprisingly clever.

Fun Halloween vibes without going too dark 🎃.

Cons ❌

Kylo Ren’s biker gang origin… was not the fresh take anyone needed 🙃.

The Maul story feels recycled if you’ve seen Clone Wars 📼.

Creepy Hood Guy is… still just Creepy Hood Guy.

Rating ⭐

Not the strongest Lego Star Wars special, but fun for spooky season 🎃👻. I’d give it a 8/10 for being a light, goofy watch that’s more about the vibe than the storytelling depth.

Spoilers Ahead ⚠️

Turns out our creepy hooded narrator isn’t just there to kill time with ghost stories — he’s actually Vaneé, Vader’s loyal servant from Rogue One. His “spooky tales” are part of a scheme to lure the kid, Dean, into becoming his apprentice 🟥.

Why? Because Vaneé’s ultimate goal is to restore the Sith’s power using ancient artifacts hidden in the castle. The stories were basically manipulative bedtime tales to get Dean to embrace the dark side — because who needs recruitment ads when you have campfire horror stories? 🔥🖤

Poe eventually teams up with Dean to stop Vaneé’s plan. There’s the usual Lego-style chaos: slapstick fights, over-the-top force powers, and an ending where the villains lose in the most cartoonishly embarrassing way possible 😅.

The castle is saved (and still under Graballa’s ownership), Poe leaves with a little more appreciation for telling stories that don’t lead to Sith corruption, and we close on the kind of wink-and-nod ending Lego loves to do 😉.
