“Star Wars” is coming, but “Star Wars” is already here, too. The recent announcement that “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will be released to Blu-ray Disc and DVD on April 5 is heartening news, but fans of the franchise can stay occupied until that time with “Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales” (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment).

The DVD is a perfect way to discover the “lighter” side of the force, complete with Lego-shaped animation. The story picks up as “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” ends, with the victory celebration in the Waok village on Endor.

The new, five-episode journey begins when, while the droids are reminiscing, an accidental kidnapping takes place. Playfully, this premise leads to a retelling of the complete “Star Wars” saga, through the eyes of C-3PO and R2-D2. Families will find the DVD enchanting, and kids will be asking to rewatch it as many times as possible.

Each DVD contains an exclusive trading card set.
