"The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special" reunites Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, Rose and the droids for a joyous feast on Life Day. Rey sets off on a new adventure with BB-8 to gain a deeper knowledge of the Force. At a mysterious Jedi Temple, she is hurled into a cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments in Star Wars cinematic history, coming into contact with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan and other iconic heroes and villains from all nine Skywalker saga films. But will she make it back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of holiday spirit?

Critics Consensus

The Force isn't fully with this Lego Star Wars adventure, but its affectionate franchise callbacks and self-aware humor should please fans looking to spend their holidays in a galaxy far, far away...

You're better off watching the 1978 special on YouTube.

The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special may just be a goof, but it hints at the possibility of exploring other underdeveloped aspects of The Rise of Skywalker.

Variety

At the end of the (Life) day, The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special is a fun, self-contained adventure which feels a few bricks short of a full Star Wars load.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

In all, the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special is a joyful, albeit short return to the Star Wars sequel era, and the entire saga, through a sweet story, hilarious writing, and an excellent Yoda in a bowler cap and sweater.

Rated: 9/10

This is not a film to be taken seriously, and anyone who does should seriously question why they are expecting a LEGO movie to salvage their love or hate for the sequel trilogy. It is most impressive and most humorous if you allow yourself to enjoy it.

Rated: A+

Ready Steady Cut

We are treated to all that Lego goodness that picks up right after Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker and that incorporates themes of that notorious Lucas payday with a sci-fi twist on a classic holiday trope — and it works.

Rated: 3.5/5

(CASTELLANO) Este especial navideño de LEGO Star Wars tiene algo que muchos otros productos parecidos no logran: consigue hacer reír, entretener y al mismo tiempo transmitir ese calor familiar que uno busca en estas fechas. No inventa nada nuevo, pero su paseo por distintas épocas de la saga, con gags visuales bien pensados y un ritmo ágil, hace que el resultado funcione. La estética es muy colorida y el humor, aunque infantil, está más cuidado de lo habitual. Tiene encanto, referencias para fans y no se hace pesada. Tampoco pretende ser una gran aventura galáctica, pero logra ser una celebración ligera y entrañable del universo Star Wars. Perfecta para ver con niños o para echarse unas risas sin complicaciones. Y además, mejora con creces el infame especial navideño de 1978. Con eso ya dice mucho. (ENGLISH) This LEGO Star Wars holiday special manages to do what many similar productions can’t: it makes you laugh, keeps you entertained, and even delivers that cozy warmth we crave during the festive season. It doesn’t reinvent anything, but its trip through various moments in the saga, packed with clever visual gags and brisk pacing, works surprisingly well. The colorful style and the well-balanced humor, though mainly aimed at children, are handled with care. It’s charming, packed with references for fans, and never overstays its welcome. It’s not trying to be an epic space adventure, but it succeeds as a lighthearted and endearing celebration of the Star Wars universe. Perfect to watch with kids or just for a good laugh. And honestly, it’s a huge step up from the infamous 1978 Holiday Special—that alone says a lot.
