The Freemaker Adventures
Via zap2it.com:
That galaxy far, far away where the “Star Wars” universe exists continues to get more and more crowded. Not only are their numerous films planned over the next few years, but the number of comic book titles, novels and TV shows available keeps increasing. You could say there are more “Star Wars” products than fleas on a Wookiee.
The latest TV production to join the expanding galaxy is “Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures,” which launched on Disney X D Monday, June 20. It’s the story of a three siblings — Zander (Eugene Byrd), Cordi (Vanessa Lengies) and Rowan (Nicholas Cantu) — who travel the galaxy looking for space debris. They had been content to turn the junk into merchandise but a chance find changes all that.
“We are embarking on an unprecedented collaboration that will allow us to extend the narrative experience of the ‘Star Wars’ saga with the same playful spirit that’s always made Lego ‘Star Wars’ so much fun to watch,” says Carrie Beck, vice president of animation development at Lucasfilm, in a news release the show.
The new series takes place between the events of “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” Executive producers Bill Motz and Bob Roth picked that point in the “Star Wars” timeline because it gives them access to all of the main and supporting characters from the films.
“When we first dipped our toe into the project, all they told us was they wanted a Lego ‘Star Wars’ show and it needed to be set within the original trilogy,” Motz says. “We wanted as much access to all the battles we could get and having the series take place when it does pushes it as far as we can go.”

The Hangar From Star Wars: The Force Awakens In LEGO
Via Comicbook.com:
LEGO toys have long captured the imagination of children and adults alike, but for fans like LegoSpencer, the toys have helped them build works of art.
With nearly 6,000 Youtube subscribers, LegoSpencer is a LEGO artist who shares his original creations online with fans. And, recently, LegoSpencer uploaded photos of his newest work which recreates the hanger of the First Order’s star destroyer Finalizer from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. If you’ve seen the film, you’ll likely remember the familiar set from the beginning of the movie when Poe and Finn secretly lift a TIE fighter from the hangar and escape from the First Order before crash landing on Jakku.
LegoSpencer has created dozens of LEGO MOCs (My Own Creations) that are inspired by the Star Wars franchise in painstaking detail, and Finalizer’s Hangar might be one of his most complicated yet. In a breakdown video on his channel, LegoSpencer tells viewers that his diorama is, “128 studs long, 48 deep, and 50 bricks tall,” and that it’s also, “filled with mini-figs and of course the 4 TIE Fighters!”
He went on to say that the piece involved lots of experimentation and took roughly 6 weeks to build from start to finish. Equipped with 4 TIE Fighters, the recreation also features familiar Stormtrooper mini-figures, and of course, Poe and Finn can be found in the cockpit of their hijacked ship. LegoSpencer also created removable elements for the piece like stair housings to create a thorough replica of the actual set from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
While LegoSpencer has been uploading his creations for years now, LEGO first partnered with Star Wars in 1999 to create licensed build-sets for fans of all ages. The first Star Wars set produced allowed fans to create X-Wing fighters that were seen in the franchise’s original trilogy. LEGO’s releases then coincided with the release of The Phantom Menace in May 1999, and since then, LEGO has produced hundreds of sets based off Star Wars’ films, animated television series, and more.
If you’re a fan of LEGO and Star Wars, now is a great time to start building your own intergalactic MOCs. If you need pointers, it seems like LegoSpencer might be taking requests. So, what kind of Star War LEGO builds would you like to see? Leave a comment below and tell us what you’d want to build!
