Darth Jar Jar?! The Star Wars galaxy gets upended in a new comedy adventure, LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, which will be released on Disney+ this September.
Check out the trailer here…
In LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, the entire Star Wars Galaxy gets completely mixed up when an ordinary nerf-herder, Sig Greebling, 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.
Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit are on board as showrunners for the animation – the duo behind animated projects such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Pokémon Detective Pikachu and The Addams Family 2.
The voice cast features Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things) as Sig Greebling, Tony Revolori (Willow) as Dev Greebling, Bobby Moynihan (IF) as Jedi Bob, Marsai Martin (Black-ish)as Yesi Scala, Michael Cusack (YOLO: Crystal Fantasy) as Servo, Ahmed Best (Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace) as Darth Jar Jar, and Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker.

The animated special showcases the longtime team-up of Lucasfilm and The LEGO Group. “It’s hard to believe that it’s been twenty-five years since the ground-breaking collaboration between Lucasfilm and The LEGO Group began,” says executive producer James Waugh. “In that time, LEGO Star Wars has given our fans the unique power to unlock their imaginations and play with the galaxy’s elements in any way they can conceive… and build. It’s with that playful spirit in mind that we set out to ‘Rebuild the Galaxy’ like never before. Tapping into the comedic genius of Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, two of the most talented comedy writers I’ve had the fortune of working with, we’ve mixed and matched LEGO sets to snap together Imperial X-fighters, Rebel TIE-wings, and yes, even Darth Jar Jar. This four-piece special is a celebration of all things Star Wars, LEGO, and the incredible explorations that can only happen when these two amazing brands come together.”
“The opportunity to work with LEGO and Lucasfilm to rebuild the galaxy has been a dream come true,” added Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit. “We’ve been collecting LEGO Star Wars sets for twenty-five 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.”
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy consists of four parts, which debut September 13, exclusively on Disney+
