Exploring Alternate Realities: Lego Star Wars Rebuild the Galaxy Unleashes Fresh Twists on Familiar Tales

Star Wars is unveiling its version of Marvel's What If concept through Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, bringing a fresh take on the beloved universe with intriguing alternate realities.

In the trailer available online, we're treated to a substantial reshuffle that introduces concepts such as TIE-Wings, a menacing iteration of the Millennium Falcon, and Ewok bounty hunters, eliciting mixed feelings of surprise and delight.

Perhaps the most unexpected twist is the nearly official acknowledgment of the saga's widely discussed fan speculation surrounding Darth Jar Jar. This theory posits the seemingly inept Gungan as a sinister genius operating in the shadows, and this series marks the inaugural depiction of Jar Jar utilizing the Force for nefarious ends.

Voicing Jar Jar Binks is Ahmed Best, with Mark Hamill reprising his role as Luke Skywalker. Joining the ensemble are notable names like Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things, Tony Revolori of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marsai Martin, Michael Cusack, and Bobby Moynihan.

Showrunners and executive producers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit expressed their enthusiasm, stating on StarWars.com, "Collaborating with LEGO and Lucasfilm to reimagine the galaxy has been an extraordinary opportunity of a lifetime. Having assembled LEGO Star Wars sets for over two decades, our approach to this story has been one of true passion, building it from the ground up, brick by brick. It's a compelling entry point for newcomers to the LEGO Star Wars universe and offers seasoned fans visuals and scenarios beyond their imagination."

Slated for release on September 13, this four-episode saga is eagerly anticipated.
