Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures (2016–2017) 🛠️✨

Let’s start by showing y’all the trailers shall we? 🎥

Who remembers this? Doesn’t matter 😏 — today we’re taking a look at this Lego Star Wars series that somehow manages to be both pure Lego chaos 🧱 and surprisingly Star Wars-y 🌌.

Non-Spoiler Plot Rundown 📜

We follow our lovely little crew:

Rowan Freemaker – the youngest sibling, wide-eyed 👀, eager for adventure 🚀, and just so happens to be Force-sensitive. Basically the Luke Skywalker of the group… if Luke also had a habit of getting into trouble every 5 minutes.

Kordi Freemaker – the responsible, level-headed sister 📝 who tries to keep the boys in line and their repair business afloat. The “no fun until the rent’s paid” energy 💸 of the team.

Zander Freemaker – the overconfident 😎, easily-distracted “cool guy” brother who will choose something shiny ✨ over common sense every single time.

RO-GR (Roger) – their repurposed battle droid 🤖 turned maid, baker 🥖, occasional mechanic, and permanent comic relief 😂. Yes, he’s a literal Clone Wars-era battle droid who now folds laundry 🧺 and serves sass — and it works.


The Freemakers work as starship repair techs 🔧, taking odd jobs to scrape by. They aren’t glamorous, but they get the job done… most of the time.

Enter Naare — a mysterious Jedi (or is she? 👀) who approaches the Freemakers in search of a legendary weapon called the Kyber Saber ⚔️. Problem? It’s been shattered into seven pieces scattered across the galaxy. Even bigger problem? The only one who can sense the shards is Rowan.

Naare offers to train Rowan in the ways of the Force ✨ while helping them search for the shards. Meanwhile…

Vader and Palpatine are sending their forces after the same shards 🖤.

Graballa the Hutt (Jabba’s hustling, money-hungry cousin) 💰 wants the shards for himself.

Hijinks ensue. Lots of them. 🤪

A Little Extra Flavor 🥤

To give you a taste of why RO-GR steals the show, here’s a montage of his best moments:

Try telling me you don’t find him charming. I dare you. 😏

The show runs through three distinct eras:

Season 1 – Before Star Wars Rebels ⏳

Season 2 – During A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back 🌌

Season 3 – During Return of the Jedi 🦾


And unlike most Lego specials that are just throwaway gags, Freemaker Adventures actually builds (pun intended 😉) a real storyline.

Pros ✅

RO-GR. Period. 🤖

Naare’s dual-role mystery gives the plot some actual intrigue 🕵️‍♀️.

Graballa the Hutt is pure comedy gold — a sleazy businessman in Hutt form 💼.

Surprisingly decent Star Wars lore integration despite the Lego humor 📚.

Catchy Lego slapstick and visual gags 🎭.



—

Cons ❌

If you hate “Lego humor” (fourth wall breaks, bad puns, cartoon physics) 🙃, this won’t win you over.

Some episodes feel like filler side quests 💤.

Not all humor lands — a few bits skew too juvenile 🍼.



—

Rating ⭐

I actually enjoy this show a lot 🎉. The humor works more often than not, the lore connections are surprisingly thoughtful, and it’s a breezy watch 🌬️. Solid 8.5/10 for being way more fun than it had any right to be.

Spoilers Ahead ⚠️

Naare? Yeah, she’s no Jedi. She’s a Sith agent 🟥 working for the Emperor the whole time, using Rowan’s abilities to track the Kyber Saber shards for herself. Her “training” is basically a con job 🎭, all while she’s reporting back to Vader and Palpatine — who, in peak Lego fashion, are both bumbling and petty as ever 🤦‍♂️.

Rowan catches on eventually, and the betrayal stings harder than you’d expect for a Lego show 💔. The siblings have to outsmart her, dodge Graballa’s schemes, and keep the shards away from both the Empire and every other bounty hunter with a price list 💵.

The finale of the first season sees Rowan destroy the completed Kyber Saber 🗡️ rather than let it fall into Sith hands — very Luke Skywalker tossing the lightsaber, but with more Lego bricks flying everywhere 🧱💥.

Season 2 shifts gears into Rebellion territory 🚀, with the Freemakers becoming more directly involved in the war effort. We get fun crossovers with classic characters, more sabotage missions 🔥, and some running gags that build up over time.

Season 3 overlaps with Return of the Jedi 🌌, and without spoiling the final beats too much — the Freemakers prove themselves as unsung heroes of the galaxy 🏆, slipping back into obscurity right as the big events of the movies are wrapping up.
