Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy

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.

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.

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.

I give this series a 9/10 because of multiple reasons, 1. It's absolutely hilarious 2. Multiple cameos 3.2 actual Stars from the Prequel Trilogy and Original Trilogy reprise their roles 4. A returning Minifigure from 2003 shows up as a supporting character 5,Even though this a Lego Series most of the characters names are named after actual Lego styles such as the word "AFOL" which stands for (Adult Fan of Lego) and Greebling which is where you stack slope parts on top of other slopes.

6.if you love Lego Star Wars and grew up with the theme, movie, etc this series is the right one for you!!!!!

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.
