Star Wars fans are in for a spectacularly spooky treat this Halloween season, as the splendid animated special LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales can now be viewed for free on the official Star Wars Kids YouTube channel. You can watch the entire forty-four-minute special in the player below, and you will be delighted by all the thrills and chills it has to offer.
Originally released on Disney Plus in 2021, LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales focuses on Poe Dameron and BB-8 as they explore Darth Vader's spooky castle on the lava world of Mustafar, while being told various spine-tingling tales along the way. The tales are told to Poe by Vaneé, a former servant of Vader who now serves the new owner of the fortress, the greedy Graballa the Hutt. The stories explored Ben Solo’s fall to the Dark Side at the hands of Ren, Maul’s quest to retrieve a sinister artifact known as the Saber of Scardont so he can once again become Palpatine’s apprentice, and a series of wishes Luke Skywalker made with a severed Wookiee’s paw which had disastrous consequences.
Taking place after the final defeat of the First Order at the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the special is technically a standalone sequel to the Sequel Trilogy, but it's obviously non-canon, so it does not impact the official Star Wars timeline in any way.
The special was directed by Ken Cunningham, who also directed LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special and LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation, and it was written by David Shayne. The voice cast includes Jake Green, Danny Jacobs, A.J. LoCascio, Barbara Goodson, Matthew Wood, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, James Arnold Taylor, David Acord, John DiMaggio, Christian Slater, Sam Witwer, and Dana Snyder. And countless popular and recognizable characters from the Star Wars franchise make appearances in LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales, so you will be seeing many familiar LEGO Minifigure faces when you sit down to watch it.
The all-ages special is perfect for older fans and kids who love Star Wars and spooky stories, making it ideal viewing during the month of Halloween. Because Disney is known for making full length episodes and specials available for limited periods on the Star Wars Kids channel, LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales will probably be removed from YouTube after Halloween, when it will once again become exclusive to Disney+. Therefore, if you want to watch LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales for free, make sure to check it within the next few weeks.
