Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures

Funny & Makes you think of the Star Wars universe in a different way.

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures gets it right by offering a single, continuous storyline that unfolds across its episodes, ideal for both loyal Star Wars buffs and younger viewers. The Freemaker family-Rowan, Kordi, and Zander-are caught in an adventure blending humor, action, and references to the wider Star Wars lore while exploring their connection to the Force and battling the Empire. The animation is colorful and lively, carrying a nice pace and delivering laughs for all ages.

However, the tone can feel a bit watered-down: although narratively solid, the script doesn't dive deeply into secondary characters and the central conflict ends up being somewhat predictable . It's a pleasant, lightweight watch, but lacks the depth sought by more mature or demanding audiences. In short, a cheerful family-friendly pick with a coherent premise and charm, but one that doesn't surprise.

My kids love this show!!! Mondays have become one of their favorite days of the week, since I let them watch this show just before bedtime. They think the Roger droid is hilarious. Also it gives them ideas of ships they want to build with their Lego bricks. Being a Star Wars fan myself, I tried to introduce the Clone Wars animated series to them, but they found it to be too serious and boring. The Rebels animated series is a little more light-hearted, but only my oldest child finds it interesting. On the other hand, the Freemaker Adventures appeals to all 3 of my children, ages 8, 6, and 2. I thought my kids might like Freemaker since they like the Droid Tales and also the Lego Star Wars video game saga. We can't wait for the next season of Freemaker to come out!

LEGO Star Wars shows have always been popular in our house.... these Emperor & Darth Vader are always worthy of some belly laughs! The Freemakers are great! Some favourite characters pop in from time-to-time as well! Great run-through storylines, wonderful animation and great characters! If you haven't already - watch it now! (Season 2 was just released on DVD, hoping Blu-ray will be soon, will be absurd if it is only DVD!

Although it is a kid's show it recaptures the magic of the classic Star Wars better than a film like Rogue One. It has likable characters, good jokes and funny easter eggs towards all of the movies.

Overall, the show comes recommended for Star Wars fans and children.
