I liked it, too, especially the animation during the credits.  I also liked that
new ships were built; my main grievance about the comics in the instruction
books is that they don't showcase the alternate models (they used to; the first
Star Wars sets prominently showed off alternates).  The animators did a good job
in this respect, creating new ships out of several sets.  That's what Lego is
all about.

As for Mark Hamill, that is THE Mark Hamill.  There's a behind the scenes
feature with him on the website:
http://www.treehouseanimation.com/
Here you can see the movie, download wallpapers, and some other stuff (I'm in
the process of installing the proper plug-ins).

P.S.  I wonder who was the lucky person who got the one line of dialogue (a
droid going "Oh no.").
