LEGO Darth Jar Jar and Jedi Bob and more insanity in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy

May 7, 2024 | 3

LEGO and Star Wars have dropped a trailer to one of the most comically unhinged animated special yet, with LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy!

This new 4-piece animated special will be released on 13 September 2024, streaming on Disney+ and features a Star Wars-ified version of Marvel’s What If series, and you can expect to seecharacters like Jedi Bob, Darth Jar Jar and even Bounty Hunter Ewoks!

The plot revolves around Sig Greebling, a humble (and maybe a little scruffy) nerf herder who unearths a powerful artifact called the Cornerstone from a hidden Jedi temple.

The Cornerstone turns the LEGO Star Wars universe on its head, turning good guys into and vice versa, promising to explore insane mashups like Darth Jar Jar, and Jedi Geonosians.

Excitingly, fan favourites like Jedi Bob, a previously unassuming anonymous Jedi minifigure from 7163 Republic Gunship make a return in this series, and even unhinged fan theory characters like Darth Jar Jar are in this.

For a primer on who Jedi Bob is, check out this post by Star Wars correspondent Vaderfan on Jedi Bob’s origins.

I love it so much and it’s so refreshing to see Star Wars take itself so unseriously.

The trailer also gives us a sneak peek at more mashups that we can expect to see in the animated special, including TIE-Wings, and Rebel AT-ATs. I really want a Rebel AT-AT set now!

There’s also a Dark Millennium Falcon in the trailer, which has been heavily rumoured to also be a LEGO set coming later this year.

The Disney+ LEGO Star Wars animated specials have been pretty fun watches – kid friendly but also containing plenty of moments suited for adults and even the most orthodox Star Wars acolytes, so I’m really looking forward to checking this one out!

What do you think and what kind of zany mashups would you like to see in this? Personally, I hope Matt the Radar Technician shows up!

In case you missed it, here are all the new Star Wars reveals:

• Cal Kestis debuts as a LEGO minifigure in 75394 Imperial Star Destroyer!
• Review: 75391 Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter
