Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is a four-part miniseries based on the Lego Star Wars franchise, released on September 13, 2024, on Disney+, written and executive produced by Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, with Chris Buckley serving as director. The series follows Sig Greebling, who accidentally activates a powerful Jedi relic that rewrites reality, forcing him to restore things to normal.

Premise

A young nerf-herder named Sig Greebling accidentally removes the Cornerstone, an ancient relic from a ancient Jedi Temple that can rewrite reality at will, which causes the "building blocks" of the galaxy to get mixed up, with characters, locations, species and institutions being changed beyond recognition, with all characters changing into alternate versions of themselves, such as a Sith version of Jar Jar Binks, and a Jedi version of Darth Vader. Now, Sig seeks out the solution to the changes with the help of Jedi Bob, an elusive Jedi long forgotten.

1	"Part One"	Chris Buckley	Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit	September 13, 2024 (2024-09-13)
A nerf herder named Sig Greebling lives with his older brother Dev and their Gonk droid Servo on the pastoral planet of Fennesa. While Dev wants to travel the galaxy with his friend Yesi Scala, Sig is content with a quiet life and hides his Force powers. Following an ion storm, the two brothers discover an ancient Jedi Temple. Dev dares Sig into using his Force powers by removing the "Cornerstone" despite the objections of a cloaked figure. Removing the Cornerstone causes the "building blocks" of the galaxy to get mixed up, with characters, locations, species and institutions being alternate versions of themselves. In the newly reconstituted galaxy, Sig reunites with Yesi, who has no memory of the Greebling brothers and has joined the Rebellion. The two are captured by Dev, who has become the Sith Lord "Darth Devastator." They are followed by a mysterious cloaked man, who reassures Servo he will rescue Sig and Yesi.
2	"Part Two"	Chris Buckley	Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit	September 13, 2024 (2024-09-13)
Darth Devastator and his apprentice Darth Rey torture Sig and Yesi. To save Yesi, Sig attempts to give Dev the Cornerstone but the two are rescued by the cloaked man, who reveals himself as Jedi Master Bobarian Afol ("Bob"). After escaping Dev's forces, Jedi Bob briefs Sig and Yesi about the history of the Cornerstone. Since the Cornerstone has bonded to Sig, Jedi Bob trains him to be a Force Builder, a Jedi who is able to use the Force to build objects. Sig uses his powers to give Servo the ability to speak. After escaping Ewok bounty hunters and C-3PO, the four travel to a water-covered Tatooine where they seek out Luke Skywalker at the Mos Eisley cantina. However, Skywalker who has become an unscrupulous podracer, refuses to help. Darth Dev and his Sith followers, including Darth Jar Jar, track the group down, resulting in a skirmish.
3	"Part Three"	Chris Buckley	Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit	September 13, 2024 (2024-09-13)
Sig and his companions escape with the help of Luke Skywalker, who has experienced a change of heart. The group seek out a group of hidden Jedi including Jedi Vader, Palpatine, Jabba the Hutt, Jannah and Dooku, who reluctantly agree to help Sig meditate so that he can locate the Force Builder temple on Dagobah. The group are joined by Rebellion General Leia, her lover Greedo and Han Solo. Sig and his companions travel aboard Greedo and Han's Slave I to Dagobah. While Sig and Bob want to return the Cornerstone to the Force Builder temple, Yesi wants to rescue several imprisoned rebel comrades including Yoda, Grievous and Mace Windu. However, Yesi's group is betrayed by Solo, who is Dev's secret spy and jealous that Leia chose Greedo over him. At the temple, Jedi Bob admits that the Cornerstone is unable to restore the previous galaxy, having accidentally undone his own galaxy as well. Dev confronts Sig and Bob. After Dev destroys Servo, Sig gives up the Cornerstone in return for Dev sparing Jedi Bob.
4	"Part Four"	Chris Buckley	Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit	September 13, 2024 (2024-09-13)
Aboard his flagship Separator, Dev forces Sig to use the Cornerstone to activate the warship's superlaser, which destroys and recreates their homeworld of Fennesa as a green pastoral world. Dev invites his younger brother Sig to combine their powers and rule the galaxy together. Sig rejects his older brother's overtures while Rey and the other Sith stage a coup d'etat against their Sith Lord. Sig and Jedi Bob take advantage of the coup to escape into space. On Dagobah, Yesi and Greedo escape the prison and use the stolen Dark Falcon to turn the tables on Han and the Ackbar troopers. Leia's rebels, Palpatine's Jedi, Yesi's group, C-3PO and the Ewok mercenaries launch an attack on Dev's fleet above Fennesa. During the space battle, Dev unleashes the Separator's superlaser, which causes heavy casualties. Sig and Jedi Bob defeat Dev during a climatic duel and reclaim the Cornerstone. Dev escapes the battle with his surviving fleet. On Dagobah, Sig restores the Cornerstone to the Force Builder temple and buries the Temple. Together with Yesi and a rebuilt Servo, the Force builders travel to the planet Alistan Nor to continue Sig's training. Meanwhile, Darth Rey and Darth Rose Tico hire the Landolorian and Grogu to hunt down Sig.

Production

Rebuild the Galaxy features franchise veterans Mark Hamill and Ahmed Best reprising their roles as Luke Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks.

On May 6, 2024, two days after Star Wars Day, a miniseries based on the LEGO Star Wars brand was announced. Rebuild the Galaxy depicts an alternate version of the Star Wars universe on opposite sides from all eras, with a relic founded by the main character, Sig Greebling, serving as a plot device. The idea of having Jar Jar Binks being depicted as a Sith under the name "Darth Jar Jar", was inspired after several fan theories surrounding the character.

The miniseries features the on-screen debut of Jedi Bob, a minifigure originating from the Attack of the Clones Republic Gunship set from 2002 where he was depicted as a then-unnamed Jedi character. He was later given the name "Bob" as an inside joke from the fandom in the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary, published in 2009.

Casting

Along with the release of the teaser trailer for the series, it was announced that both Ahmed Best and Mark Hamill would be reprising their roles as Jar Jar Binks and Luke Skywalker from the Skywalker Saga films. Other cast members include Gaten Matarazzo and Tony Revolori as the Greebling brothers, Marsai Martin as Yesi Scala, Michael Cusack as Servo, and Bobby Moynihan, who had previously contributed voice work for the franchise, voices Jedi Bob.

During the D23 fan event on August 9, 2024, it was announced that Anthony Daniels, Kelly Marie Tran, and Billy Dee Williams would be reprising their roles as C-3PO, Rose Tico, and Lando Calrissian, as well with Naomi Ackie returning as Jannah from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
