Earlier today, a trailer was dropped for a new Star Wars project, and not the one you might expect. LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is the latest in the franchise’s series of LEGO specials on Disney+. Mark Hamill and Ahmed Best are returning to play Luke Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks, respectively. If you’re a proponent of the Darth Jar Jar theory, this is likely the only satisfaction you’ll get. The special’s official description goes as follows, via The Hollywood Reporter:
“The Star Wars Galaxy gets completely mixed up when an ordinary nerf-herder, Sig Greebling (Gaten Matarazzo), unearths a powerful artifact from a hidden Jedi temple. He finds himself thrust into adventure in a new, wondrously wild and twisted version of the galaxy where good guys are bad, bad guys are good, and the fate of all depends on Sig becoming the hero who can put all the pieces back together.”
And here’s the trailer:
THR also has a statement from Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, the showrunners of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy who co-wrote Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem with Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Jeff Rowe:
“The opportunity to work with LEGO and Lucasfilm to rebuild the galaxy has been a dream come true. We’ve been collecting LEGO Star Wars sets for 25 years, and we have approached this project with a fan’s enthusiasm, crafting this story quite literally brick by brick. For new fans, this will be an exciting place to enter the world of LEGO Star Wars, and for lifelong fans, you’re going to see some things that you never thought possible.”
This special comprises four episodes and will air on Disney+ on September 13th. I don’t know or care much about LEGO, so I’m more interested in your thoughts. Sound off in the comments below!
