LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy release date, cast, latest news
Fixing Star Wars brick by brick.
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy teased a fun 'what if' scenario back during its mid-2024 announcement, and now its release date is almost here - with some exciting casting news arriving as well.
Following the new character Sig Greebling, the Disney Plus series sees the history of the Star Wars sci-fi universe being rewritten, creating an alternate reality that he needs to fix with the help of new friends he finds along the way.
One of these is Jedi Bob, an obscure character from a 2002 Attack of the Clones Republic Gunship set making his on-screen debut. Although said set had him unnamed at the time, the franchise fandom gave him the name 'Bob', which eventually became official.
Along with an interesting premise and exciting casting news for Luke Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks, the release date for LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy should definitely be marked in fans' calendars.

What is LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy about?
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy starts when Sig Greebling discovers and removes a Jedi artifact called the Cornerstone.
As a result, a new galaxy is created. Not only are the events in the Star Wars universe completely different, but the personalities of heroes and villains have been inverted as well - turning many of the former into the type of baddies they once fought against.
Eventually, Sig and Jedi Bob seek the help of Luke Skywalker - who, while not evil, doesn't seem to know anything of his and his family's legacy with the Force.
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy will be available to watch on Disney Plus.
