Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy

This surprisingly effective little narrative is a breath of fresh air in the stuffy room of modern Star Wars. A bit like Batman, Star Wars is almost better being silly, and that is what this is. Rebuild the Galaxy is genuinely really fun, has a neat story and some smarter-than-average fandom nods dotted throughout. A relatively solid voice cast anchors the whole thing led by the actually-that-really-works brothers duo of Tony Reviolri and Gaten Matarazzo. The only detracting factor is that this is all a toy advert but then... maybe what makes this solid compared to most recent episodic efforts for the brand is that Rebuild the Galaxy realises this is mostly what Star Wars was in the first place.

There's something magical about the LEGO universe colliding with Star Wars. Instead of taking itself too seriously, this special embraces chaos, absurd humor, and genuine love for the saga-with more than satisfying results. Rebuild the Galaxy doesn't aim to add major layers to canon, but it offers an unpredictable and shamelessly fun journey that any fan can enjoy-especially if they accept the rules of the game from the start.

The animation remains polished, with that clay-like digital style where every explosion becomes a visual joke. But what really stands out here is the pace: fast, packed with gags, meta references, and winks that prove the creators truly know the universe they're parodying.

Despite its light tone, it throws in some clever ideas about the multiverse, handled with both silliness and a surprisingly coherent structure (even if it's a brick-hammered one). And while the target is clearly kids, adult Star Wars fans will catch jokes made just for them.

Not everything hits equally-some parts might feel repetitive-but overall, it's refreshing to see such a monumental saga laughing at itself. Rebuild the Galaxy is, like the best LEGO builds, a fun mess that suddenly makes sense just when you think it's lost.

Seriously, you end up caring more about a pile of plastic bricks than most of the 'characters' in the last few efforts from Star Wars TV.

Without spoiling anything:

1. Hilarious 'cameo's' from all of your favourite characters including some original cast members from all three trilogies as well as a few of the tv shows. Also keep an eye out for some non-star wars characters popping up in the background too.

2. an actual story that is both entertaining and fun.

3. a huge amount of easter eggs, not only for star wars fans but lego fans in general.

4. Darth Jar Jar is as amazing as he looks in the trailer, but one of the Jedi is even more insanely cool.

The hype is real, not just space.

Legends aren't made, they are built! I love LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy. This four-piece animated special reimagines the Star Wars galaxy like never before. It is funny and the cast is outstanding.

In LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, the entire Star Wars galaxy gets completely mixed up when an ordinary nerf-herder, Sig Greebling (Gaten Matarazzo), unearths a powerful artifact called the Cornerstone from a hidden Jedi temple. He finds himself thrust into adventure in a new, 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.

LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy is full of comedy, action and incredible animation. This show is filled with heart, laughter, and the important message of believing in yourself. It is a family friendly special and for fans of LEGO or Star Wars this is a must watch. I could not take my eyes off the screen. The animation and visuals are stunning - I love when the light sabers light up and the flying sequences are awesome. They could not have picked a better cast to voice these characters. It features the vocal work of Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Gaten Matarazzo (Sig Greebling), Bobby Moynihan (Jedi Bob), Tony Revolori (Dev Greebling), Marsai Martin (Yesi Scala), Michael Cusack (Servo), and Ahmed Best (Darth Jar Jar). The writing is so smart and funny. I think this movie will create a whole new generation of LEGO and Star Wars fans because it has something for everyone.

This film teaches you to believe in yourself and to embrace teamwork.

I give LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. You can watch LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy on Disney+ beginning September 13, 2024 on Disney +.

Here's hoping the rebuild will continue in the Star Wars galaxy. Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy follows the story of Nerfherders Sig and brother Dev. While Dev dreams of leaving their home planet in search of greater things, Sig is content to remain herding Nerfs while telling and retelling the stories of the galaxy far far away. While investigating a mysterious Jedi temple, guarded by Jedi Bob, the brothers stumble across a brick that unfortunately (or fortunately) tears apart and reassembles their galaxy. Sig and Jedi Bob must find a way to restore the galaxy back the way it was before it's too late. With a lot of character mash ups along the way, this is a fun filled ride through the galaxy.
