Brickset

“Overall I'd say this is still worth picking up, the show is clever, fun and enjoyable to watch. Even after seeing it twice on Teletoon I still found this fun and fresh. I just wish LEGO would offer more on the disk to do, it doesn't have to be much, a tiny spot the... More difference game where they toss in still shots from the film and you have to find something out of place.”

Common Sense

“Parents need to know that LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out is a very short and very silly parody of the Star Wars movies and characters that acts as an extended commercial for LEGO products. There is some Star Wars-style violence with laser gun and light saber battles,... More as well as spaceship dogfights. There are also brief slightly off-color jokes involving C-3P0 and Chewbacca, but all in all, this is silliness for younger viewers that parents will also find amusing.”
