Welcome to Castle Vader, the galaxy’s first all-inclusive, Sith-inspired, luxury resort.

Today we got our first look at the forthcoming Disney+ event, LEGO® Star Wars Terrifying Tales, with a new trailer that hints at the trio of scary stories spun to Poe Dameron and BB-8 after they crash land on Mustafar.

The special from Lucasfilm and the LEGO group follows Darth Vader’s loyal servant Vaneé, played by Tony Hale, as he tells three frightening Sith stories: “The Lost Boy,” the story of how a young Ben Solo first meets Ren; “The Dueling Monstrosities,” which imagines how Darth Maul and General Grievous were reborn; and “The Wookiee’s Paw,” which gives a look at what might have been if all of Luke Skywalker’s greatest wishes were immediately granted.

Here are our 5 favorite moments from the trailer,

One of the great things about Star Wars is that it inspires endless debates and opinions on a wide array of topics. Best bounty hunter? Most powerful Jedi? Does Salacious B.

To celebrate the release of the eight new illustrated stories, StarWars.com is thrilled to share new art from Grant Griffin and an excerpt featuring childhood friends Max and Rel whose shared past can even defuse finding themselves on opposite sides in a galactic war in “The Song of Winter’s Heart.”

The war with the Empire was unceasing.

Star Wars Inside Intel is a StarWars.com feature where Lucasfilm Story Group member Emily Shkoukani, whose job is to know as much about a galaxy far, far away as possible, explores obscure facts about Star Wars lore and continuity. In this installment, Emily traverses the molten planet of Mustafar…

 The lava-drenched planet of Mustafar was the stage of one of Star Wars’ most epic duels between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi. As the two face off against each other, they traverse the volcanic hellscape, avoiding erupting volcanoes, toxic ash, and massive lava-falls. But Mustafar was not always covered in magma.
