Yesterday was officially the first day of summer and Disney celebrated by releasing a trailer for LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation. The newest animated special from Lucasfilm and LEGO Group follows Finn, Rey, Poe, Rose, Chewie, BB-8, R2-D2, and C-3PO as they embark on the "best vacation ever."
LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation is set shortly after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. In typical LEGO Star Wars fashion, the special will feature cross-saga storytelling as Finn encounters three Force ghosts: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Leia Organa. As usual, fans can expect appearances from all their favorite Star Wars characters from across the timelines.
LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation will feature the voices of Star Wars veterans Yvette Nicole Brown, Kelly Marie Tran, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and returning cast members from previous LEGO Star Wars specials. Comedic singer "Weird Al" Yankovic is also set to voice Vic Vankoh and perform the new original song "Scarif Beach Party".
Looking for a much-needed break from stormtroopers and TIE fighters, Finn arranges a surprise vacation for his friends Rey, Poe, Rose, Chewie, BB-8, R2-D2, and C-3PO, aboard the ultra-luxurious Galactic Starcruiser, the Halcyon. But Finn’s plan to have one last hurrah together quickly goes awry when he’s separated from the group. While searching for his friends, he encounters three Force ghosts: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Leia Organa, who each share their own unexpected stories of vacations gone wrong, helping him to understand that holidays are about more than just having fun.
LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation features the voices of: “Weird Al” Yankovic as Vic Vankoh; Yvette Nicole Brown as Colvett Valeria; Thomas Lennon as Wick Cooper; Paul F. Tompkins as Rad; Dee Bradley Baker as Boba Fett; Ashly Burch as the Tour Droid; Kyliegh Curran as Sidero; Anthony Daniels as C-3PO; Trevor Devall as Emperor Palpatine; Allie Feder as Sy Snootles; Jake Green as Poe Dameron; Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker; Ross Marquand as Han Solo; Omar Miller as Finn; Kevin Michael Richardson as Jabba the Hutt; Matt Sloan as Darth Vader; James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi; Kelly Marie Tran as Rose; Helen Sadler as Rey Skywalker; Billy Dee Williams as Lando (Holovid); Matthew Wood as Ben Solo; and Shelby Young as Leia Organa. The special is directed by Ken Cunningham (LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales, The LEGO Star Wars Holliday Special) and written and executive produced by David Shayne (LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales, The LEGO Star Wars Holliday Special).
