π₯Let’s start by showing yall the trailers shall we?
π₯ Messa Gonna Hurt Yuosa! Omg it’s Darth Jar Jar!
Also who remembers this? Sorry that’s been a recurring question within each these Lego special reviews, but anyways thats right Darth Jar Jar is official.
πΊ the jar jar extended universe (yes, really)
I guess how we can consider this clip from Robot Chicken as Canon,
βOh yessa yes Palpy, yousa manipulated me.β
Or this iconic scene from Revenge of the Sith: How It Should Have Ended
(Skip to 2:45)
βOoohhh hessa not the lord of the Sith, messa the lord of the Sith!β
And now? Darth Jar Jar has even landed his way into Fortnite:
π wait it’s a multiverse story? (but this one works)
Also yes this special does deal with the Multiverse, so if ur getting sick and tired of that, I recommend u check this one out because it handles it perfectly.
π¦ What’s the plot rundown?
Well, in this multiversal story we follow our main character Sig and his brother Dev, who are Nerf-Herders (no, not an insult like Leia called Han in Empire Strikes Back). These two are literal Nerf-Herders.
Yeah, the references in this show are amazing.
So anyways, one day Sig finds this blue glowing corner piece in a cave, which is being guarded by Jedi Bob, who’s a LEGO Jedi that appeared in an old LEGO set. The Jedi didnβt have a name, but the fan base coined the name Jedi Bob.
Anyway, Sig is happy with his life, but Dev wants to find his own purpose and go on and adventure.
π§± When the galaxy breaks like a badly built LEGO set
Anyways, when Sig takes out the corner piece, the entire galaxy rebuilds itself and warps around. For example:
- Hoth gets turned into a lava planet
- Geonosians become Jedi
- Death Star becomes a drive-through diner
- Admiral Ackbar is now clones: The Attack of the Ackbars
- The imperial AT-ATs become Rebellion AT-ATs
- Tatooine becomes a beach resortβmainly Mos Eisley Spaceport becomes Mos Eisley Morena
- One my favorite changes to the galaxy has to do with the planet Crait, where we see the infamous scene of that rebel touching the floor and licking his finger and saying salt, 5hen the galaxy changes and instead he licks his finger and says pepper.
πββοΈ Surfer Luke ain’t buying it
And Luke Skywalker has become a surfer bro dude, and thatβs the first person Sig and Bob try to recruit. The way Sig tries to get Luke on their side definitely didnβt sell it. Hereβs Lukeβs reaction:
“Uh, let me see if I have this right. In your galaxy, my dad is mostly evil until he turns good for like five minutes and then dies, my own nephew betrays me and kills most of my best friends, and I spend decades alone on an island with something called Porgs because I get super sad, and then I come back and use the Force so hard that it kills me? And you want me to help you? Thatβs really your pitch? (Chuckles) Sorry, hard pass.”
LEGO Bob
“Good job Sig, you really sold it.”
π¦ΉββοΈ Introducing the Sith squad (And yes, Jar Jar again)
I mean, if someone told me that about me from another galaxy, I too wouldnβt want to help. Well, too bad for them because this evil black Millennium Falcon (which has a Death Star laser cannon instead of a satellite) comes down nearby and we see several Sith Lords such as:
- Sith Lord Kit Fisto
- Sith Lord Jawa
- Sith Lord Dev
- Darth Rey
- An evil C-3PO with red eyes and a black arm
- And finally, Darth Jar Jar
“Messa Gonna Hurt Yuosa.”
Sorry to burst yβallβs bubblesβheβs barely in this spinoff. He gets all of what, 2 minutes of screen time? Hereβs all the footage of him:
Oh, sorry, not 2 minutesβI meant 50 seconds.
Yeah, because thatβs so much better.
Bright side: at least Ahmed Best got to reprise his role as Jar Jar.
Iβm glad he was given a second chance. Heck, even Mark Hamill and Billy D return to their roles in this series.
π§βπ Whoβs who in this weirdo galaxy?
Oh, if youβre wondering where Landoβs atβweβll get to that in spoilers. But in this galaxy, get this:
- Maul is the new Lando (uhhhhh)
- Vader, the Emperor, Cad Bane, and Jabba are Jedi Masters. Even the Emperor as a master still scolds Vader. They also use a Jawa sandcrawler as their home
- The Resistance consists of General Grievous, Yoda, and Mace Windu
- Han became the new Greedo, and Greedo became the new Hanβand heβs dating Leia (ehhhh)
π οΈ Questions. Questions. And more Questions.
Anyways, Darth Dev wants the corner piece to use it to build the galaxy in his own image. So will he get the corner piece? Or will the heroes restore the galaxy back to the way it was? All will be revealed in the spoilers.
π¬ Wait did he just call me “brother”?
For now, letβs get the rating out of the way. Overallβheck yeah, I absolutely recommend checking this special out. Itβs absolutely hilarious.
For example, thereβs a running gag in this show where Darth Dev keeps unironically calling Sig βBrother.β Then Sig gets all cheerful and says, βWait did u call me brother? Yes I knew it!β And Darth Dev would say, βNo I didnβt mean it like that, ugh!β
It had me laughing out loud on the floor a few times. Good job Disney and LEGOβyou got me laughing at stupid Star Wars callbacks and puns. Also, I really like they used the same stop-motion style here as they did for The LEGO Movie.
So overall, Iβll give LEGO Rebuild the Galaxy a solid 10/10. Please go check it out.
β οΈ Warning: spoilers ahead y’all been warned β οΈ
So what happens in the finale of this series? Well, in a final battle against Darth Dev to prevent him from getting the corner piece, the gang tries to get the piece back into its little position in the wall to fix the galaxy and make it go back to the way things were.
And not where Luke is a surfer dude and Maul is Lando or Han is Greedo. So they finally get the corner piece back in its corner⦠so does it do anything? Absolutely not.
Nopeβseems Sig is stuck in this new galaxy, which I guess isnβt a bad thing because this means he can go on his own adventures.
π― End credits surprise: the bounty hunt begins
Now weβve got to talk about the final ending shot where we see Darth Rey recruiting a bounty hunter to hunt down Sig.
Which leads to one of my favorite moments that always makes me laugh. The Mandalorian comes out of the shadows and he has Billy D. Williamsβ voice. He says, as heβs taking off his mask: βThey call me the Lando-Lorian.β
Hahahahahahahahhaa the Lando-Lorian? Good grief, why am I finding the most stupidest line the funniest?
π And that’s a wrap β for now
Anyways, hope yβall enjoyed this review. Till next timeβand remember, may the Force be with you.
