LEGO Star Wars The Empire Strikes Out

My 5 yr old son LOVES this movie. He will watch it over & over. Lego took Star Wars & made it easy for kids to understand & made it funny to boot. My son will laugh out loud at some of the jokes...its really cute. I would say kids younger than 5 could watch this, its not violent. And definitely the older kids will find it entertaining as well. The only bummer is that this DVD has a run time of 22min! Crazy! I wish they could have made it longer. I had a hard time paying $10 for it, but he does love it & to me that's all that matters.

For how much I paid, and the individual cost of the Vader Lego figure alone, I am happy with this item. The video itself is really short, and the few bonus material videos as well are short. If you can grab this for $10 or less, and you love Star Wars, then this item is a no-brainer. Good laughs and a cool Vader toy my son and I enjoy playing with. Read more

The jokes are cheesy, but not horrible. There are a lot of inside jokes for fans of the series. My kiddos are too young to see Star Wars (live-action or Clone Wars), so this was a perfect fit for them. Looking forward to more from the lego team. The included Darth Vader mini fig is a nice addition to the collection as well, since we did not have one of him. Read more

Following up on LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace Blu-ray & Standard DVD Combo Pack with Young Han Solo Minifigure we're treated to another short Cartoon Network special, this time featuring the beloved characters from the original films. Taking place shortly after the first Death Star is destroyed, Luke goes on a mission to find he's hindered by the mob of girls who have latched onto his new celebrity. Meanwhile Vader and Darth Maul duke it out to be the Emperor's favorite. It's a cute and often silly story featuring great animation and voice work. On top of that at only 22 minutes it doesn't grow tiresome. For that alone it's worth picking it up and enjoying. Unfortunately the disc release is very much lacking. While the pack-in of a special Darth Vader Lego Mini-figure is a nice touch, especially for folks that picked up the previous release and it's pack-in, the DVD is bare bones. There is some basic navigation and that's it. No bonuses or special features to speak of. Also, unlike Padawan Menace there's no blu ray, just the DVD release. From a collector standpoint the inconsistency in releases is annoying, but from the point of view of my young kids, they don't care and love the movie. Read more

Bought this for my son who turned 5 years old. Love Lego Star Wars and their sense of humor! We had some regular Star Wars Clone Wars books, but some of the images of some characters gave my son nightmares. However this is not the case with Lego Star Wars. All characters are kid friendly and fun to watch! He watches this DVD daily! Read more

Well, it is a very good movie, but kinda wish it was on BR. I'm not sure I would buy it if I had seen it beforehand, it is really short, this could have been an extra in one of the larger lego sets, or a gift to customers from the lego shop or anything, as well done and fun as it is, still very short to stand on its own, and it doesnt even have extras!

I bought this as a way to introduce Star Wars to my kids in a less scary way, they are 3 and 6. The story is actually very funny, though I think many of the jokes went over my kids' heads my husband and I were laughing through most of it. My kids still enjoyed watching it, and so did the adults, great show to watch together! Read more

I absolutely love the lego games and it is always fun to go through the different levels and break things. Read more
