Prepare to have your perception of the Star Wars universe turned upside down! Disney+ has just released the full trailer for LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, a four-episode animated special that takes the beloved franchise into uncharted territory. This time, the LEGO twist isn't just about reimagining iconic moments but completely flipping the roles of heroes and villains, delivering a unique and hilarious experience.
Set to debut on September 13th, 2024, this special is the brainchild of the creative minds behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem—Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit. Known for their work on films like Pokémon: Detective Pikachu and The Addams Family 2, Hernandez and Samit have now set their sights on the galaxy far, far away, bringing a fresh and whimsical perspective to the Star Wars lore.
The story follows Sig Greebling, an unassuming nerf-herder voiced by Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo. When Sig discovers a powerful artifact called the Cornerstone, he's thrust into an adventure where the galaxy is wildly reassembled. Imagine a universe where Ewoks pilot X-Wings, Geonosian Jedi rise, and Darth Jar Jar—yes, you read that right—emerges as a dark force voiced by none other than Ahmed Best.
The trailer is a delightful whirlwind of familiar characters in unexpected roles, promising a narrative as unpredictable as it is entertaining. With voice talents like Tony Revolori, Bobby Moynihan, Marsai Martin, and even Mark Hamill returning as Luke Skywalker, the special is packed with star power.
As Sig embarks on his quest to restore order, fans are in for a ride that's equal parts nostalgia and novelty. LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is poised to be a must-watch for fans eager to see just how far the LEGO Star Wars universe can stretch its creative limits. So mark your calendars—this is one galactic adventure you won't want to miss!
