Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy

My only gripe is that the brick closeups don't have the Lego logo and as a result it feels like they're using knock off pieces.

Besides that, it's a great show to watch with my kids. They look forward to new episodes (not sure when more will drop, might be a year or more).

It's only 4 episodes, but it concludes fairly well and each episode ends on a fun cliffhanger. The first episode started slow for my kids, but I think it was good for them.

As far as product placement goes, the sets you can buy in store show up multiple times in the show, and the creative "what if" elements of each set seem to be useful for other builds.

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.

I have previously described the release schedule of Disney projects for Star Wars, where they alternate between total failure and success. This time, it's a success. A magnificent animated series based on Star Wars. The action takes place in a galaxy far, far away, but due to certain events, everything gets turned upside down. The main character has to save the galaxy because he is the one to blame for it all. Along the way, we meet many familiar heroes such as Palpatine, Leia, Jar Jar, Luke, Han, and others.

The plot is quite good for such a cartoon; it is very easy to watch, with episodes lasting about 20 minutes flying by in a single breath. However, I found the series to be a bit too short. If it had two more episodes filled with even more references and jokes about Lego and Star Wars, it would have been better. Personally, I felt it lacked depth, but I think they did this to avoid overloading the series with fan service and possibly left room for a couple more seasons, as the foundation for continuation is excellent.

For some reason, the series was not received as warmly here as it was abroad. Perhaps it was because people were expecting a full Lego movie, but the trailer made it clear that this is more episodic. Also, the series gifted us some wonderful Lego sets featuring the Millennium Falcon, and just for that, it deserves an extra point.

In conclusion: an excellent, fun Lego cartoon based on Star Wars for one evening. It is available in good Russian voiceover, already laid out in the green store. However, it can also be watched in the original version, as Mark Hamill voiced his part there.

8/10.

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 +.

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.
