Star Wars The Fan Serviced
This one is for the old EU fans. Do you want fan service? Will it be exactly what you wanted?
Yeah, I think its pretty funny. I have to say though, I'm not really sure about the whole CGI Lego thing. The faces look a little motionless, but I think the animation was pretty good. I liked it.

As opposed to (the majority of) stop-motion brickfilms?
What in the post are you questioning? I guess you mean the motionless mouth thing? Well, yes, most Brickfilmers don't, but then most don't do CGI. I think in this case, being that everything is virtual, it would look good if they moved their mouths. I don't mean to sound uber critical, its only a minor thing, and it doesn't distract it from the rest of the film, which I enjoyed very much.
It's both a production choice and a style choice. I did not want to spend additional time on mouth animation (and the complications that come with lipsyncing) and I wanted to mimic the style of stop-motion brickfilms, i.e. 15 fps, slight jittery movements, minimal facial animation compensated by exaggerated movements, etc.

While some of the voice quality could have been better, the animation was really good in my opinion. Over all I thought this was a good and funny inside-joke video.
