The kids are now so into Star Wars and also LEGO. This new DVD, STAR WARS: Droid Tales is such a perfect combination of LEGO and Star Wars. The LEGO humor is enjoyable for the whole family. There are some adult moments that are perfect for Allison and I and there is also kid’s humor that is great for the kids. There are so many funny things that happen in the episodes. One of my favorite parts of the series is when C-3PO talks about meeting R2-D2 for the first time. Then they meet Anakin, and every time we hear Qui-Gon Jinn say something to Anakin, which we know isn’t going to turn out well, there is a guy who is selling Red Flags. The kids don’t understand what a Red Flag is but as parent’s we as so tickled by the humor. The characters are great, done in the LEGO style and the voices are done very well. I could watch these over and over. Here are some clips that will show you what I mean.
