AFTER THE SUCCESS of the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special last year on Disney+, the creative team is back with the all-new Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales. This time the villains get the spotlight in another post-Rise Of Skywalker set story that has Resistance hero Poe Dameron (Jake Green) and BB-8 crashlanding on Vader’s old Sith stomping ground, Mustafar. There they find Graballa the Hutt turning the castle into a glitzy hotel, with the forced labour of a plucky kid named Dean (Raphael Alejandro). Inside the castle, they all meet Vader’s former servant Vaneé (Tony Hale), who spins three creepy tales of bad guy woe.
Executive producer Josh Rimes tells SFX that even though Star Wars has no equivalent celebration holiday for all things scary, they took inspiration from what Disney does in celebrating their villains. “Star Wars has such an amazing rogues gallery across all eras, so we said let’s just celebrate the dark side and what’s good about being bad. Let’s celebrate the idea and the theme of fear, and what makes you afraid and how can you face that fear?” Rimes explains. “And even if you’re a bad guy, there are little nuggets of wisdom to be taken from these fractured fairy tales that our narrator tells our heroes.”
