For small fans and completists only. ## Synopsis A galaxy far, far away, rebuilt in plastic bricks. The Mandalorian (Gavin Hammon), a helmeted bounty hunter who lives by the creed of his people, takes the jobs nobody else wants, and the special follows the shape of the television series he came from. Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris) and Kuiil (Nick Nolte) are among the faces, and voices, he meets along the way. The assassin droid IG-11 (Taika Waititi) is chasing the same bounty, and Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) wants what the Mandalorian is protecting. Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff), the Armorer (Emily Swallow), Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) and Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) all turn up before the fifty minutes are out. ## Review The LEGO Star Wars specials have a licence most spin-offs would kill for. The bricks give them permission to break things: to pull a scene apart, to let a villain complain about his own plot, to treat a sacred text as a toy box. *LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian* has that licence and chooses not to use it. Chris Buckley directs fifty minutes that retell the television series in miniature, hitting its beats in order, and the only thing it adds is the sound of plastic clicking. The voice cast is the reason anyone over the age of ten might sit down for it. Amy Sedaris is back as Peli Motto, Bill Burr as Migs Mayfield, Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon, Nick Nolte as Kuiil, Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze, Emily Swallow as the Armorer, Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand, Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano and Taika Waititi as the droids IG-11 and IG-12. That is close to the full company of the show, and it is a real pleasure to hear them in the same room, or at least the same recording booth. Gavin Hammon takes the title role, and since the whole point of the Mandalorian is that we never see his face, a man made of bricks with a new voice is about as faithful as a substitution can be. The trouble is what the cast have been given to say. The jokes are mild where they should be rude, and they arrive in the gaps between plot points rather than growing out of them. The best LEGO comedy works because the characters half know they are toys and resent it; here everyone behaves as if the live-action script had simply been photocopied onto smaller paper. Esposito gets to be menacing in a voice built for menace, and Sedaris gets to be exasperated, which she does as well as anyone alive. Neither is asked to do anything the series did not already ask. We were bored, and then we were irritated about being bored, because the cause was so plain. Everybody on the screen already knows this story, and so does everybody watching it, and the special has decided that is enough. A retelling in bricks only earns its place if the bricks let it do something the original could not, and for fifty minutes we waited for that something and it did not come. When a special about a bounty hunter who never removes his helmet cannot find a single new angle on the helmet, the imagination has gone somewhere else. Measured against its own cousins, it comes up short. The earlier LEGO Star Wars projects have had a sense of play about them, a willingness to let the saga look silly for a moment and then love it anyway. This one is neat and respectful and oddly cautious, as if someone had decided the Mandalorian was too valuable to be laughed at. The one critic to have weighed in so far has called it a disappointing retread, and we see no reason to argue; the consensus, such as it is, is right. Children who know the series will enjoy spotting the sets and will not mind that the story is a rerun. Parents who know the series will be able to predict every scene from the sofa, which at fifty minutes is bearable and at any greater length would not have been. The bricks are the only thing here that look like they might make a shape nobody has seen before, and the special never picks them up. *Fi1m score 48, published 13 October 2026.* ## Straight answers **Is LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian worth watching?** *LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian* is worth watching only for small fans of the series and completists, and we scored it 48. Chris Buckley's fifty-minute special retells the television show beat for beat in bricks, with nearly the full voice cast returning but no joke worth the plastic. Children will enjoy spotting the sets; adults will predict every scene. **How long is LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian, and what is it rated?** *LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian* runs 50m. It is an animation and science fiction film. **Where can I watch LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian in Sweden?** *LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian* is streaming on Disney+ in Sweden.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's film is funny and inventive because its toys know they are toys and misbehave; the Mandalorian special plays it respectful and cautious, photocopying the live-action story onto smaller paper. Only committed fans of the series should prefer it. **What should I watch after LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian?** After *LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian*, try [*The LEGO Movie*](https://film.one/film/the-lego-movie) (2014, Fi1m 83): The brick comedy done properly, with the toys fully aware that they are toys. Then [*Toy Story*](https://film.one/film/toy-story) (1995, Fi1m 92): The toys-with-inner-lives idea at its cleanest, before anyone had a franchise to protect; and [*Shaun the Sheep Movie*](https://film.one/film/shaun-the-sheep-movie) (2015, Fi1m 80): Wordless, hand-built and funnier than most things with a script; British plasticine at its best. ### Reviews we read (1) - **Collider**, Maggie Lovitt (5/10): Lovitt finds the special a disappointing, uninspired retread that falls short of recent LEGO Star Wars projects. She praises the return of nearly the entire Mandalorian cast, but says the jokes and creative reimagining are weak.
