An extremely talented LEGO animator has created the ultimate recap for The Mandalorian season 3, highlighting the show's flaws but making them incredibly fun. Star Wars and LEGO have had a long-standing relationship since the brand's launch in 1999, resulting in numerous collectible sets and video games. Fan animations have taken the Star Wars universe in creative and comedic directions, with LEGO animations being particularly popular.
The LEGO animation channel Bricksane is known for its outstanding videos that parody famous franchises, especially Star Wars. Their recent video, titled 'The Mandalorian BUT BETTER | Lego Blender Animation,' humorously reimagines The Mandalorian season 3, playfully addressing some of the season's shortcomings.
Bricksane's LEGO animation skills shine in the video, featuring fluid character movements, dynamic action sequences, and intricate background details. The video cleverly critiques The Mandalorian season 3's repetitive storylines, filler episodes, and convenient plot devices, while enhancing the season's highlights.
The third season of The Mandalorian received mixed reviews, with Bricksane's video addressing some of its significant issues. Criticisms included the decision to feature Din Djarin and Grogu in The Book of Boba Fett episodes, potentially stretching story arcs unnecessarily. Additionally, the season's focus on Bo-Katan Kryze and delayed resolution of key plot points, such as the battle with Moff Gideon, were highlighted.
Following the success of fan creations, Lucasfilm enlisted YouTuber Shamook to enhance the CGI portrayal of Luke Skywalker in The Book of Boba Fett, inspired by his deepfake creation after The Mandalorian season 2 finale.
Bricksane's video demonstrates how even flawed Star Wars projects can inspire better storytelling through comedic parodies. Fans have also taken to rewriting Star Wars movies and TV shows to explore alternative narratives. While The Mandalorian season 3 may have had its shortcomings, it serves as a foundation for future creative endeavors within the Star Wars universe.
The Mandalorian is available for streaming on Disney+.
