Disney+ released the first trailer for LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales, the upcoming animated special from Lucasfilm and LEGO.
The trailer begins with Poe Dameron and BB-8 landing on an eerie planet that's quickly revealed to be Mustafar, as evidenced by Darth Vader's imposing castle. However, the castle -- once home to the most fearsome Sith Lord in the galaxy -- is now a luxury resort. Nevertheless, the castle still conjures terror in the form of tales such as Ben Solo's first encounter with the Knights of Ren ("The Lost Boy"), Maul being given his robotic legs ("The Dueling Monstrosities") and Luke Skywalker making a wish on a Wookiee's paw that lands him on the side of the Galactic Empire rather than the Rebel Alliance ("The Wookiee's Paw").
Along with the trailer, Disney+ released the following synopsis for the special:
After the events of The Rise of Skywalker, Poe and BB-8 must make an emergency landing on the volcanic planet Mustafar where they meet the greedy and conniving Graballa the Hutt who has purchased Darth Vader’s castle and is renovating it into the galaxy’s first all-inclusive Sith-inspired luxury hotel. While waiting for his X-wing to be repaired, Poe, BB-8, Graballa, and Dean (a plucky and courageous young boy who works as Graballa’s mechanic) venture deep into the mysterious castle with Vader’s loyal servant, Vaneé. Along the way, Vaneé shares three creepy stories linked to ancient artifacts and iconic villains from across all eras of Star Wars. As Vaneé spins his tales and lures our heroes deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the castle, a sinister plan emerges. With the help of Dean, Poe and BB-8 will have to face their fears, stop an ancient evil from rising, and escape to make it back to their friends.
Announced in August, LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales is directed by Ken Cunningham, who also helmed The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special in 2020. The project features the voices of Jake Green as Poe Dameron, Trevor Devall as Emperor Palpatine, Matt Sloan as Darth Vader, Raphael Alejandro as Dean, Dana Snyder as Graballa the Hutt, Tony Hale as Vaneé, Christian Slater as Ren and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as NI-L8.
