LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out

LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out (2012) is a 22-minute parody short you can watch online on iFILM. It takes the galaxy far, far away, snaps it together out of bricks, and plays the whole thing for laughs.

Luke Skywalker sets out to wreck an Imperial base, only to be mobbed by a squad of fangirls who treat him like a pop idol instead of a Rebel hero. Off to the side, Darth Vader picks a petty feud with Darth Maul to settle who really is the better Sith. Anthony Daniels voices C-3PO once more, the same actor who has played him since 1977.

Directed by Guy Vasilovich, the short runs on rapid-fire gags and affectionate jabs at every Star Wars cliché. Easy fun for kids and for grown fans happy to poke holes in the saga they love. Stream LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out online on iFILM.
