SYNOPSIS:
A routine Jedi Academy field trip is turned into a rip-roaring comic adventure in LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace. Tour guide Master Yoda leads a group of rambunctious Jedi Younglings through Senate chambers when he senses a disturbance in the Force. Summoned to help save the Republic, he discovers that one of the Younglings secretly boarded his ship…and has a taste for adventure! Meanwhile, C-3PO and R2-D2 are put in charge of the boisterous group and find themselves in over their heads. As the evil Sith prepare to wreak havoc, it’s up to Yoda and the Droids to ensure that their young charges aren’t torn to bricks!
My Take on the DVD
Being a family that plays WII, my girls love the LEGO WII Games and with this being said when I hear about this DVD, I knew that they would enjoy it as well. After I heard about this I heard that it had been on Cartoon Network and we had missed this, so I was equally excited. Though the movie is short, only 22 minutes, it is a lot of fun and there are some great bonus features in it as well. The imagery and animation are amazing and the blu-ray quality is out-of-this-world! This is a must have for any LEGO fan or fan of Star Wars!
