“History will be rebuilt.” Get ready for some strange revisionist history in the Star Wars universe! Disney+ has revealed a wacky teaser trailer for their upcoming SW Special titled LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, showrun by the screenwriters behind last year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Set for launch in September. A nerf-herder discovers an artifact that twists the Star Wars galaxy, swapping the roles of heroes and villains. He embarks on an adventure to restore order and emerge as the savior who reassembles the fractured galaxy. “You’re going to see some things that you never thought possible.” This is like Marvel’s What If, but for Star Wars – including Ewok bounty hunters, Geonosian Jedi, and, amazingly, Darth Jar Jar voiced by Ahmed Best, along with the Dark Falcon, and much more. The talented voice cast features Gaten Matarazzo, Tony Revolori, Bobby Moynihan, Marsai Martin, Michael Cusack, & Mark Hamill back as Luke Skywalker. “This doesn’t make any sense!” Ha ha – this looks like it’ll be funny.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, direct from YouTube:
“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.”
–Showrunners / Executive Producers Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is a “four-piece” animated special. The entire Star Wars galaxy gets completely mixed up when an ordinary nerf-herder, Sig Greebling (voiced by Gaten Matarazzo), unearths a powerful artifact called the Cornerstone found within 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 help put all the pieces back together. LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is a 4-episode one-off Star Wars Special executive produced by and showrun by animation filmmakers Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit both writers of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, The Addams Family 2, “Koala Man”, “Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion”, and “Koala Man”. Featuring episodes directed by Chris Buckley. Produced by Daniel Cavey & Dan Langlois. Executive produced by Hernandez & Samit, James Waugh, Jacqui Lopez, Josh Rimes, Jill Wilfert, Jason Cosler, and Keith Malone. Disney will debut LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy streaming on Disney+ starting September 13th, 2024 late in the summer. Who wants to watch?
