    Great reaction, Guys! I actually hope the planet (Cordoku?) that the crystal key is to be found (only on Life Day), in that special Jedi Temple, is included in Star Wars canon. Love the sweaters! Thanks for uploading. Have a happy, healthy, sane Thanksgiving.

    I had thought that they would never react to LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures since they would probably think it's just for kids. But seeing that they like this LEGO holiday special makes me believe that there's a chance.

    Young Luke and Rey were fun together! I would have loved interaction between kid Anakin and Luke

    You guys seriously don't know who Jefferson Starship is? They used to be Jefferson Airplane and they had a number of hits under both names.

      I know, one hit wonder... sometimes I think they were all homeschooled with their knowledge of things not in their generation.

      Ironic that it was a synthesised voice and wasn't actually Hamill.

    Dieing time traveller from the past: "Will there be another Star Wars Holiday Special?"
    Me: "There will be."
    Traveller: "Will it be good?"
    Me:" It's all Lego"
    Traveller:"What?"
    Me:"Yeah, all Lego"
    Traveller:"There is no god ..." *dies
