Even though the voice actors used to play some of the main characters from the new trilogy are very convincing in this trailer, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac haven’t come back to reprise their roles. But there are a handful of Star Wars franchise actors lending their voice to the special, includingKelly Marie Tranas Rose Tico,Billy Dee Williamsas Lando Calrissian, andAnthony Danielsas C-3PO. Plus,The Clone WarsactorsMatt Lanter(Anakin Skywalker),Tom Kane(Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn),James Arnold Taylor(Obi-Wan Kenobi), andDee Bradley Baker(Clone Troopers) have returned as well.
Since other animated LEGO productions and video games have always incorporated family-friendly humor, it allows for some amusing situations and crossovers. We have two Han Solos appearing together and deciding who shoots Greedo first, you’ve got Emperor Palpatine annoyed that Kylo Ren is walking around without a shirt, and Darth Vader and Rey pausing a lightsaber battle to remark how cute The Child is fromThe Mandalorian.
The LEGO Holiday Specialis directed byKen Cunninghamand written byDavid Shayne, who is also co-executive producer along withJames Waugh,Josh Rimes,Jason Cosler,Jacqui Lopez,Jill WilfertandKeith Malone.
The LEGO Holiday Specialwill be released on Disney+ onNovember 17, 2020.
