Star Wars’next show,LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past, will depict a team-up never seen before inStar Warsmovies and TV shows. AlthoughRebuild the Galaxyis not a canon show, it has already proven to be a fun addition toStar Wars. Season 2, releasing September 19th, is sure to be no exception.
BecauseRebuild the Galaxyis not canon, it has the ability to break rules, play with some ofStar Wars’best charactersin brand-new ways, and even poke fun at the franchise. Now,Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Pastwill take advantage of the flexibility not being canon offers by depicting a Jedi and Sith team-up.
A Jedi & Sith Team-Up Is All That Can Save The Galaxy
In the trailer forRebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past,the Jedi, the Sith, and myriad otherStar Warscharacters like Queen Amidala and Lando Calrissian (as the Mandalorian) must work together to stop Solitus. This clearly marks Solitus as a formidable threat, as little else could bring such opposing forces together.
Indeed, the galaxy itself will be at stake, so even the Sith, who always have selfish aims and are interested in just their power, will have to join the fight. Again, this story, which deviates so significantly from what has been shown inStar Warsthus far, is only possible because of the freedom that not being canon allows.
This has also led to the return of some truly thrilling Jedi and actors, including Ashley Eckstein voicing Ahsoka Tano and Cameron Monaghan as Cal Kestis—not to mention the return of legendary actors like Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, and Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, among others.
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy Is Creating Something Fresh & New
As these returns and the Jedi-Sith team-up alone make clear,Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Pastis truly something special, and it feels genuinely fresh and new forStar Wars. In fact, not only are the stories and the characters revolutionary, but also, theForce powers inStar Warsthemselves are getting revamps.
Because the show is based on LEGO, the Force has been expanded in these stories to include the ability to create and destroy, which is consistently what has caused trouble and fixed issues in the show. This also allows for the dark and the light sides of the Force themselves to be altered in creative ways.
While it may be easy to brush off a non-canonical, animated, LEGO-basedStar Warsshow,LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Pastis doing some fascinating things inStar Wars, and it will no doubt be plenty of fun to watch.
