From the team that brought us Darth Jar Jar, light side Darth Vader, and a black Millennium Falcon comes Mandalorian Lando, walker-sized Chewbacca, and everyone’s favorite Star Wars rabbit, Jaxxon.
Yes, Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is back with four new episodes subtitled “Pieces of the Past.” The original series debuted late last year and followed a simple nerf herder, Sig Greebling (voiced by Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo), and his brother, Dev Greebling (Spider-Man’s Tony Revolori), who find a special Lego piece that completely remakes the galaxy. Now, the pair is back, along with all of your favorites, for a new, even more dangerous adventure that will see them encounter more impossible Star Wars mashups and a brand new villain, Solitus, voiced by Dan Stevens.
Now, yes, some of the voices you thought you heard there are right. That was Billy Dee Williams as Landolorian, Ahmed Best back as Darth Jar Jar, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Sam Witwer as Maul, and even Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. New for this special, though, are Stevens as Solitus, Ben Schwartz as Jaxxon, Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano, Cameron Monaghan as Cal Kestis, Nika Futterman as Asajj Ventress, James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Brian George as Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Alan Tudyk as K-2SO. Cassian Andor is in there too, but this time he’s voiced by Andre Sogliuzzo.
Basically, Lucasfilm is going all in with this, and the show is better off for it. We also love that it’s playing not just with Star Wars tropes, but varied Star Wars Lego sets too. Not everything is mini-figure scale. There are BrickHeadz, which are those short, stocky figures. There are larger scale ones, such as Chewbacca and the Porg, and who knows what else might be in store.
In Pieces of the Past, “a new threat rises in the galaxy, and Sig and Dev Greebling must combine their powers of Force Building and Sith Breaking to stop it. Alongside Jedi Bob, Yesi Scala, and Servo, they will journey into the deepest corners of Lego Star Wars lore, uncovering pieces of all the galaxies that have come before.” Sounds like it’s going to be a blast.
Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past drops all four episodes on Disney+ September 19.
