Luke Skywalker wishes to be a pilot and is then recruited by the Empire where he later meets Darth Vader.

Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales will also present two other creepy stories about a young Ben Solo meeting Ren for the first time and how Darth Maul and General Grievous were reborn.

The animated special, which comes to Disney+ on Oct. 1, will take place following the events of The Rise of Skywalker as Poe Dameron and BB-8 make an emergency landing on the volcanic planet of Mustafar.

Poe encounters Graballa the Hutt who has purchased Darth Vader's castle and is turning it into a luxury hotel inspired by the Sith. Poe, BB-8, Graballa, her mechanic Dean and Vader's loyal servant Vaneé then venture deep into the castle where Vaneé will share the three creepy stories.

Tony Hale is voicing Vaneé, with Christian Slater as Ren, Jake Green as Poe, Dana Snyder as Graballa, Raphael Alejandro as Dean, Trevor Devall as Emperor Palpatine, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as NI-L8 and Matt Sloan as Darth Vader.

David Shayne penned the script and is an executive producer. Ken Cunningham is serving as director.
