‘Lego Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy – Pieces Of The Past’ Review – A Little Something For Every Fan To Enjoy

Combining one of the most iconic sci-fi franchises with one of the largest toy brands in a new animated adventure—how could fans not find something to love? Building on the success of last year’s debut, Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past takes its playful premise in new and exciting directions, diving deeper into the worlds of both Lego and Star Wars. The series continues to entertain with clever ideas that are sure to appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers of either franchise.

The second season picks up with Sig Greebling continuing his training under Jedi Bob. While attempting to reconnect with his brother Dev, the siblings cross paths with Jedi Bob’s former master, Solitus. As Solitus emerges as a dangerous new threat to their universe, the Greebling brothers are forced to work together to save their world from being undone.

Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of this charming animated series is the freedom it has to explore Star Wars lore while maintaining a light, refreshing tone. Filled with rapid-fire references to dialogue and plot points from every era of the saga, the creative team strikes an ideal balance between humor and sincerity without ever losing its charm.

The writing team’s dedication to expanding the story is equally commendable. Rather than taking the easy route and undoing the events of season one, the writers build on the potential of this reimagined galaxy, introducing fresh variations of established characters. Revisiting known figures through new perspectives keeps the alternate universe lively and full of surprises. It brings a sense of curiosity to the franchise that has been lost over the years.

Beyond its humor, the series continues to find emotional depth in its storytelling. The bond between Sig and Dev provides the heart of the show, especially as Dev wrestles with the connection he once shared with his brother. The new interpretations of beloved characters such as the Skywalker family also open the door for intriguing what-if scenarios and relationship interactions that were previously impossible. The third episode stands out in particular, offering moving moments and themes centered on family and reunion across multiple fronts.

This focus on relationships highlights the strength of the character writing. It is always enjoyable to see legacy figures such as Ashley Eckstein’s Ahsoka Tano and Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker make appearances, but the Greebling siblings continue to grow in ways that make them just as engaging. It is refreshing to see the series invest in its own creations rather than relying solely on established icons for nostalgia alone.

Many elements of the animated format come together to make this series shine. The voice cast brings infectious energy, fully embracing the show’s playful and unpredictable tone. Standouts include Gaten Matarazzo, who continues to give Sig Greebling warmth and wonder, and newcomer to the series Dan Stevens, whose commanding performance makes Solitus a convincing and memorable villain. Together, the entire cast bounces off each other to keep the humor lively and the emotional moments grounded.

The animation is equally impressive. The creative team takes full advantage of the concept, experimenting with scale, design, and setting while maintaining the instantly recognizable Lego aesthetic. The action sequences are inventive and visually exciting, capturing the spectacle of Star Wars while preserving the iconic charm that makes Lego storytelling so distinctive.

If there is a weakness, it comes from the limitations of the format. With only four episodes a year, some character relationships seem to advance off-screen, telling the audience rather than showing. This becomes a point of interest as the season’s conclusion once again sets up promising directions for future growth. It is a cohesive and satisfying story, but it leaves you eager for more.

Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy continues to be a near-perfect blend of Lego and Star Wars. By drawing on the best qualities of both franchises, it creates a finished product that is consistently entertaining, creative, and at times surprisingly thoughtful. Fans of either series will find plenty to enjoy in this latest season.

Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past is currently available to stream on Disney+.
