FANS OF STAR WARS and Lego have been fed especially well the last five years, with new Lego Star Wars videogames, fresh building sets and three Disney+ specials with stories set after the Star Wars sequels.
Now the creative team behind those specials return to remix their own work with the four-part miniseries event Lego Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy. Directed by long-time Lego animator Chris Buckley, written by Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit (Pokémon Detective Pikachu) and executive-produced by James Waugh, Rebuild The Galaxy boasts an original story featuring the vocal talents of Star Wars legends Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams and others, all giving their iconic characters very different spins.
Waugh tells Red Alert that to celebrate 25 years of the Lego Star Wars partnership, they wanted to mark the milestone by doing something new, told from a kids' POV. "We wanted a younger lens to take us through that adventure, and so we started thinking about 'What could that look like?"" Waugh explains. "We wanted it to feel handcrafted, like a kid could make the sets with either Lego or crafts in their room."
