Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de)
"Escape from the Jedi Temple" is a newer episode of the Yoda Chronicles written and directed by Hegner and Price as always. I saw some of these already, the older ones only I think, and I must say this is possibly the best I have watched so far. I am not a great Star Wars fan, but the inclusion of many references makes this one a pretty good watch. I personally enjoyed the black-and-white part, the casting show spoofs and especially the inclusion of Boba Fett in here. The way the bunch acts in this one as if he is part of the gang, yet he isn't really, is quite funny on several occasions and it probably mirrors the feelings many Star Wars fans have towards him and towards the newer films in general. Anyway, Lego animation has never really been my favorite style, but it is bearable to watch here. The comedy is solid and that is the most important aspect of these 22 minutes. I enjoyed the watch and I hope the other "New Yoda Chronicles", which I will probably watch soon enough, are just as good. Thumbs up and I recommend it.
