The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special is a 2020 animated Christmas special based on the Star Wars franchise, produced by Lucasfilm Animation and The Lego Group alongside Atomic Cartoons, and directed by Ken Cunningham from a script by David Shayne. It is a spoof on the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. Set around the in-universe holiday Life Day and after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019), it depicts Rey training Finn in the ways of the Force before time travelling across the Star Wars timeline. The special was released on Disney+ on November 17, 2020, and received generally positive reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
