Summer Vacation – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Thu, 11 Aug 2022 15:19:25 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Summer Vacation – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 Obi-Wan is a Rapper in LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation https://www.geekfeed.com/obi-wan-raps-in-lego-star-wars-summer-vacation/ Thu, 11 Aug 2022 15:19:25 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=70502 We know that Weird Al Yankovic wrote an original song for Disney+’s LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation, but he’s not the only one who has a musical number in the holiday special.

Watch LEGO Obi-Wan Kenobi rap about Gamorrean Girls in this new clip from LSWSV:

Though I was half-expecting a Star Wars parody of Katy Perry California Girls, Gamorrean Girls sounds a lot like the music from Jabba’s Palace that we hear way back in Return of the Jedi. Sure it’s kind of corny to watch a character like Obi-Wan rap, but this is a LEGO special, so there’s really no point arguing about anything like canon.

With the way that shows like The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi are so serious, it’s shows like the LEGO Star Wars specials that have been adding a bit more variety to the SW content coming to Disney+. And though they may not be canon, it’s probably our only update on the Sequel era characters that could have some kind of resemblance to what Lucasfilm wants to do with the era.

Personally, I think that the studio is waiting for the target audience of The Force Awakens (i.e., the kids) to grow up before releasing the next Sequel era film, but for now, it seems that the studio is just focused on pleasing the Prequel/Original Trilogy fans for now, what with them being so glued to that timeline.

The Resistance Crew Plans to Unwind in New Clip from LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation https://www.geekfeed.com/lego-star-wars-summer-vacation-gets-new-clip/ Wed, 27 Jul 2022 07:09:49 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=70268 After a Christmas and Halloween special, LEGO Star Wars is back for another holiday treat with LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation. The special arrives on Disney+ this August, and we have a clip of Finn and friends arriving at what looks to be the real-life Galactic Starcruiser hotel.

Watch the clip for Summer Vacation here: 

Just like with previous holiday specials, we should expect Summer Vacation to encompass all eras of the Star Wars universe from the Prequel Trilogy to the Sequels. Even though the main cast includes the likes of Poe, Rey, and Finn, we should expect appearances from Darth Vader, Obi-Wan, and maybe even Jar Jar as well. Not to mention we could see some faces from other spinoffs like The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett.

Admittedly, it’s kind of a shame that we haven’t gotten anything from the Sequel Trilogy on the big screen, but until then, we have these fun LEGO specials that might as well be our closest thing next to canon.

“LEGO® Star Wars Summer Vacation,” which is set shortly after the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” features the voices of “Weird Al” Yankovic, Yvette Nicole Brown, Kelly Marie Tran, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and returning cast members from previous “LEGO Star Wars” specials, and includes “Weird Al’s” new original song, Scarif Beach Party.

LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation comes to Disney+ on Aug. 5.

Summer Vacation: LEGO Star Wars is Back for Another Holiday Special https://www.geekfeed.com/summer-vacation-lego-star-wars-is-back-for-another-holiday-special/ Mon, 27 Jun 2022 08:07:30 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=66672 Just when we thought LEGO Star Wars was only going to give us a Christmas special, they gave us a Halloween movie with Terrifying Tales. Now with the summer season in full swing, we have a trailer for LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation.

Check out the trailer for Summer Vacation down here: 

Here’s the official description:

“LEGO® Star Wars Summer Vacation,” which is set shortly after the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” features the voices of “Weird Al” Yankovic, Yvette Nicole Brown, Kelly Marie Tran, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and returning cast members from previous “LEGO Star Wars” specials, and includes “Weird Al’s” new original song, Scarif Beach Party.

Though we don’t have any update on whether Lucasfilm will give us more stories in the Sequel Trilogy era, we have been getting these stories set in the ST with the characters like Finn, Rey, and Poe undergoing a story which will feature flashbacks placed in the Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy timelines.

While these stories are non-canon, it feels like there is a little truth to them, what with Rey training Finn to be a Jedi or watching the flashback with Ben Solo’s younger days. Just watching the trailer there is already hints at more of Ben Solo’s past—albeit, it is told with that wacky LEGO slapstick.

Hopefully with all these Sequel Trilogy ‘updates’, Lucasfilm has something cooking for the ST fans in the future. We’ll just have to wait and see.

LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation hits Disney+ on Aug. 5.
