Three friends stranded on a volcanic planet trade ghost stories to pass the time in LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales, a 2021 animated special that folds a Halloween-style anthology into the galaxy far, far away.

What is LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales about?

An emergency landing strands Poe Dameron, Finn and the droid BB-8 on the lava-scarred world of Mustafar, where a scavenger named Graballa the Hutt has renovated Darth Vader's old castle into a bizarre roadside attraction. Waiting out repairs, the group is drawn into a string of spooky tales told to fill the dark hours, each one built around a different corner of the Star Wars galaxy and each one nudging the trio to face a fear of their own before they can find a way off the planet and back to their friends. The anthology format lets the special hop between tones and eras while keeping its framing story light and family-friendly, true to the LEGO Star Wars specials that came before it. Jake Green and Raphael Alejandro voice the stranded travelers, with Dana Snyder, Tony Hale and Christian Slater lending voices to the wider cast of characters populating the stories-within-the-story.

About the cast

Jake Green and Raphael Alejandro voice Poe Dameron and Dean, the young travelers whose predicament frames the special's run of tales. Dana Snyder, Tony Hale and Christian Slater join Trevor Devall and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn in supporting voice roles, moving between the anthology's separate stories to bring its wider cast of Star Wars characters to life.

Context & significance

LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales is a US, Canadian and Danish co-production and continues the run of LEGO Star Wars TV specials that pair the franchise's core mythology with a lighter, comedic LEGO sensibility. Its anthology structure, stories nested inside a single framing adventure, borrows the shape of a campfire ghost-story night while keeping the scares gentle enough for the same family audience the LEGO Star Wars brand has built its specials around.
