Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy saw the return of both familiar faces And voices, with some fun, topsy-turvy twists.

Speaking to Polygon, co-showrunners Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit talked about getting the chance to shake up the Star Wars galaxy and create a whole new reality where established characters are the opposite of their classic selves. This, according to Samit, really appealed to the longtime Star Wars cast members, stating, "You got some of these actors, like Mark [Hamill] or Anthony [Daniels], [who] have been doing it for 40-plus years, and it's always been more or less the same version of the characters. Which they love, obviously, but I think it was really fun and refreshing for everyone to do a new spin on their characters."

The new Disney+ mini-series Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy may be a part of the non-canon Lego Star Wars franchise, which isn't technically considered part of the Star Wars universe, but a few of the stars of the series think some of the characters could eventually become canon. Per Screen Rant, animated series cast members Tony Revolori (Dev Greebling), Marsai Martin (Yesi Scala) and Dan Hernandez, executive producer, had a few ideas of which characters could make the jump to be considered canon.

I could see Servo joining in, Revolori said of Michael Cusacks character, a gonk droid with an Australian accent. He said Cusack does an incredible job voicing him, and hes so hilarious. I could see that happening in honestly any show or movie easily." Revolori added, besides his own character of Dev becoming canon, the character of Jedi Bob, voiced by Saturday Night Live alum Bobby Moynihan,...

Lightsabers are an integral part of the Star Wars franchise, but the origin of the Jedi's weapon has only been hinted at in lore. In the original Star Wars Expanded Universe, now known as the Legends timeline, the first version of the lightsaber was called a Forcesaber. It was created by the Rakatan Infinite Empire and used synthetic crystals to channel dark side energy into the blade, and the ancient Je'daii Order repurposed the weapon for themselves. A Je'daii Master later created the First Blade, which served as the foundation for all lightsabers that followed.

However, not much has been revealed about the origin of the lightsaber in the official Star Wars canon under Disney. Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures offered a possible explanation, with Jedi Master Baird Kantoo creating the first Kyber Saber in ancient times, but this series is considered non-canon. Even so, other Star Wars sources...

Star Wars star Ahmed Best took a moment to thank two fellow legends from the franchise for being there to support him from the very start. As fans will know, Best portrayed the controversial Jar Jar Binks, a character heavily criticized upon his introduction in 1999's The Phantom Menace.

On Instagram, Best shared an image from the original Star Wars set of Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill and Yoda puppeteer Frank Oz. Best explained in the caption how he wanted to give both Hamill and Oz recognition for how they came to his defense during the backlash over this character. After giving his thanks to Hamill and Oz, Best went on to tease his potential return to the franchise as Kelleran Beq, the character he played in the third season of The Mandalorian.

While fans are beyond eager for the impending Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire animated series following its groundbreaking first-look teaser, it won't be arriving anytime soon, at least not around 2023. In the interim, fans may binge-watch Netflix's new animated series Skull Island. The trailer makes it clear that this is a spin-off of Kong: Skull Island and that the two projects share visual similarities.

Skull Island, the upcoming Netflix series, is written by Brian Duffled and stars various well-known voice actors such as Nicolas Cantu, Betty Gilpin, and Mae Whitman. The series will be available in both Japanese and English, though Netflix has not revealed any information on the Japanese cast. Skull Island should be worth watching, even if many people are unfamiliar with the previous MonsterVerse films. That said, here's everything we know about the series, including its plot, actors, trailer, and release date.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is filled with playable characters from the Star Wars universe, many of which are famous faces. However, the game’s developers also dove deep into the depths of Star Wars lore to fill out the title’s roster of playable characters with truly strange selections that only the most diehard fans would possibly recognize.

Gamers who want to experience everything The Skywalker Saga has to offer will have to unlock over 380 characters. Most of these are key players such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, recurring side characters like C-3Po and R2-D2, and even fan favorites such as Bossk and Boba Fett. Admittedly, a sizable chunk of the game roster consists of variants of the same character, but The Skywalker Saga also includes quite a few obscure characters.

How obscure? We’re talking background characters who only appeared for one second of one movie,...

If there’s one thing DC loves, it’s reboots. The comics cycle through their continuity in one form or another every decade or so, the movies…well…that’s a whole thing, too. So of course now it’s time for the DC animated movies to get a fresh start. And this time, they’re doing it with the hero who should pretty much always be the center of these things: Superman.

Since 2014, there have been 20 DC Universe Animated Original Movies, most of which existed in a shared continuity that began with Justice League: War and culminated in this year’s Justice League Dark: Apokalips War. With that story arc now complete, Superman: Man of Tomorrow will set up a new continuity for future movies. Butch Lukic is the new Supervising Producer for these DC movies, with Chris Palmer directing Man of Tomorrow.

The voice cast includes Darren Criss (Glee) as Clark Kent/Superman,...

Burbank, CA – Daily Planet intern Clark Kent takes learning-on-the-job to new extremes when Lobo and Parasite set their sights on Metropolis in Superman: Man of Tomorrow, the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe Movies. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, the feature-length animated film will be released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Digital starting August 23, 2020, and on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack and Blu-ray Combo Pack on September 8, 2020.

The animated series Star Wars Rebels introduced an ensemble cast of major characters, both soldiers and Jedi, but there’s one hero, in particular, who has gone on to affect the wider Star Wars universe the most. Hera Syndulla, starfighter commander and Rebel leader, isn’t occupied with being a Jedi or on a quest to find one. Instead, she’s focused on fighting the Empire and freeing the galaxy from tyranny. From the TV series to the pages of the comics and novels, Hera has become one of the most familiar faces in the Rebellion and the New Republic, alongside Leia Organa and Mon Mothma.

Now, fans have spotted her in the trailer for Star Wars: Squadrons, the upcoming video game from Motive Studios and Electronic Arts. Coming out in October, it follows squadrons of Imperial and New Republic pilots after the Battle of Endor. Since Hera connects the...

Here are the new and old titles you can expect on Disney+ for February 2020.

The streaming space is a crowded one. Between Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Apple TV+ and the 2020 launches of NBCUniversal’s Peacock and WarnerMedia’s HBO Max, the competition for your money and attention is fierce.

Now Disney has made the splashiest entrance into the streaming landscape with Disney+. The service’s library features Disney live-action and animated classics, and content from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic.

Disney+ is more than just the greatest hits from the House of Mouse. The service is set to roll out original feature films, TV shows, and documentaries. For instance, Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 7 is set to arrive this month.

We have our first in-depth look at the upcoming The Walking Dead spin-off series that is yet to have a name, but is beginning to build excitement. From the Walking Dead panel at San Diego Comic-Con this summer, and the teaser that was released shortly after, we know that this series will follow a group we have never met before that has been surviving the zombie apocalypse in a community that has not faced as many trials as the groups we have followed up to now. This group has a bunch of teens that have grown up in this post-apocalyptic world, but fairly sheltered. They are looking to strike out and see what the world around them is truly like. For those of us who have been watching the last nine years, we know that’s probably not a great idea, and they do not sound ready for what is in store.

AMC’s new Walking Dead series is starting to take shape, and we are starting to learn a little more about it. The series is said to focus on “the first generation to come of age in the apocalypse as we know it. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever.”

It was also announced that Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts will helm the third series in the franchise, which was co-created by Scott Gimple and The Walking Dead veteran writer and producer Matt Negrete. Negrete will serve as the series’ showrunner.

I like the work that Vogt-Roberts has done. His little indie film The Kings of Summer was fantastic, and he also directed episodes of You’re the Worst. The filmmaker has also been developing a feature film version of Metal Gear Solid for years that hopefully gets made one day.

The official Twitter page for The Walking Dead and Skybound Entertainment has released a trailer for the upcoming third series in the universe of The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. The trailer features a bunch of teens explaining that they’ve been growing up in this world, and they are ready to go out and find out who they are.

At the panel for Twd at Comic-Con a couple of weeks ago, the series creators talked briefly about the untitled new series, and said that it will feature a community similar to Alexandria, where the inhabitants have faced less trials, and there are kids who have lived sheltered lives within the community since they were born. This series will follow those people. Series Executive Producer Scott Gimple said that the big secret of the world they’ve created is that there are many other survivors and groups that are living their own stories,...

Disney Channel has greenlighted The Curse of Molly McGee, an animated buddy comedy series about a tween optimist and grumpy ghost from the Emmy-winning duo behind The Penguins of Madagascar.

The series from Disney Television Animation follows the adventures of Molly, who lives to make the world a better place, and Scratch, whose joy comes from spreading misery. When one of Scratch’s spells backfires, he finds himself forever cursed in Molly’s presence.

The Curse of Molly McGee is executive produced by Bill Motz and Bob Roth, former EPs of Disney Xd’s Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, along with Emmy winner Steve Loter. No cast was announced.

Disney Channel also said today that it signed a number of toon creators and artists to overall development deals. Among them are Bruce Smith (The Proud Family), Jeff Howard (Planes), Kate Kondell (The Pirate Fairy...

Alexa Mansour (Unfriended: Dark Web), Nicolas Cantu (The Amazing World of Gumball), and Hal Cumpston (Australian comedy Bilched) are set as leads on AMC’s new Walking Dead spinoff series, set for premiere in 2020, Deadline has confirmed.

The new spinoff will feature two young female protagonists and will focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it, according to the description by AMC. The hook will be to see who remains good and who turns evil. Details of the roles are being kept under wraps.

Co-created by Scott M. Gimple, chief content officer of The Walking Dead universe, the spinoff will be run by Matt Negrete, who has been a writer and producer on The Walking Dead for the past five seasons. Produced by AMC Studios, the spinoff is slated to start production on 10 episodes this summer in Virginia.

The recently announced third “Walking Dead” series has cast three major roles, Variety has learned exclusively.

Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, and Hal Cumpston will all star in the new series, which is said to follow two female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the zombie apocalypse. A second lead female role has yet to be cast.

AMC would not comment on specifics for any of the characters, but sources describe Mansour’s character as a good-natured rule breaker who lives for today. She is likable and funny on the outside but sad on the inside. Mansour recently wrapped shooting a guest starring role on the CBS drama “Madam Secretary” and previously starred in the horror film sequel “Unfiltered: Dark Web” for Blumhouse Productions. Her other TV credits include “Seal Team,” “The Resident,” “Bull,” “How To Get Away With Murder,” and “Law & Order: Svu.”

She is repped by Paradigm,...

After four awesome seasons, Star Wars Rebels is coming to an end. But it sounds like Lucasfilm has already got plans to follow up the show, which is set within the gap between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, with another animated TV series. Or at least, that’s what a new job listing from the company suggests.

The studio have shared a call for “episodic directors” over on LinkedIn. Seeing as Rebels is close to wrapping production, it doesn’t seem likely that Lucasfilm would be hiring new talent to work on the show at this stage. Not to mention that the wording of the description for the ad hints at a fresh production team being formed for a new series.

The second season of the quirky Lego Star Wars animated series, The Freemaker Adventures, was announce during this year's big Celebration event but today finally brings word on when you'll be able to watch it. Come inside to learn when the new season premieres, check out a new clip, and some images!

Last year brought Star Wars fans (especially the younger ones) a new animated series to enjoy with The Freemaker Adventures. The series put the focus on a new family in the galaxy far, far away and their journey saw them cross paths with some iconic characters and events. While the show doesn't technicaly fit into the new 'canon', that allows it to have a lot of fun, bringing the typical Lego humor to the forefront.

We got our first look at season two of The Freemaker Adventures back in April, but today brings new information (and images) for the show,...

Disney Xd has ordered a second season of its praised animated comedy adventure series Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures for premiere this summer. At the end of the first season, the Freemaker family found a new home with the Rebel fleet.

Last month, during ABC's TCA summer tour presentation, ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey revealed that the network has had "conversations" with LucasFilm about a live-action Star Wars TV series. Nothing is set yet, though there have been discussions and rumors about a live-action show for more than a decade. Today, we news that fans will have to wait even longer for this highly-anticipated series, whatever it ends up being. When asked point-blank if ABC is planning a live-action Star Wars TV show, ABC TV president Ben Sherwood says the decision is not up to him. He did, howevre, hint that a new Star Wars animated series may be coming soon.

"The live-action Star Wars plan rests in the hands of [Walt Disney Studios chairman] Alan Horn, [Lucasfilm president] Kathy Kennedy and the great folks at Lucasfilm. Somewhere we hope in a galaxy not too far away there will be a television show that will air on one of our networks.

Last week, Disney Xd announced a brand new Star Wars animated series entitled Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, which is set to debut this summer on the cable network. The announcement came with our first look at artwork from the series. Now, YouTube user dreamnailz has uncovered the announcement trailer, which has our first look at footage from this show. While no voice cast members have been announced for this Lego Star Wars adventure, this trailer does offer new insight into the plot.

The footage shows that, long ago, a Jedi Master forged the Kyber Saber, a lightsaber made of Kyber Crystals. It proved to be too powerful, so the Jedi Master shattered it, and scattered the crystals throughout the galaxy, to keep the power out of evil's hands. The show centers on Kordi, Zander, and Rowan, three sibling scavengers who, with the help of Roger and Naare, are...
