What to Expect in LEGO Star Wars: Pieces of the Past

LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past arrives September 19 on Disney+, continuing the playful and unpredictable storytelling that made last year’s series a hit. The four-part sequel once again follows brothers Sig and Dev Greebling, voiced by Gaten Matarazzo and Tony Revolori, as they navigate a LEGO-fied galaxy filled with humor, heart, and plenty of surprises.

This new installment aims to push boundaries even further—introducing fresh twists like “evil Obi-Wan” while preserving the core spirit of Star Wars. Matarazzo and Revolori recorded their dialogue together this time, something they didn’t get to do for the first series. According to writer-producer Benji Samit, that decision elevated their chemistry and deepened the sibling bond at the center of the story. Both actors also embraced greater freedom in their performances, taking risks and adding personal touches—Matarazzo even suggested Sig’s new orange lightsaber.

Behind the scenes, Samit and creative partner Dan Hernandez encouraged contributions from the entire cast and crew, fostering a collaborative atmosphere that inspired standout moments. The creative team also leaned into LEGO’s unique possibilities, ensuring every build looked authentic down to scratches and fingerprints on the bricks, while still delivering the anarchic humor fans expect.

Narratively, Pieces of the Past expands the LEGO Star Wars sandbox with bold additions. Padmé Amidala returns after a pirate-inspired detour, while fan-favorite deep cuts like Darth Revan and the comic book rabbit Jaxxon finally make their LEGO screen debuts. These inclusions embody the team’s philosophy: if a story beat excites the creators, it will likely delight the fans too.

For all its zaniness, the series remains rooted in classic Star Wars themes. Revolori highlights Dev’s struggle with loneliness and his misguided pursuit of family, while Matarazzo teases Sig’s evolving path as a Jedi unlike any we’ve seen before.

Ultimately, the creative team sees LEGO Star Wars as a space where anything is possible—“nowhere and everywhere” in the timeline, as Revolori put it. That freedom allows for both wild comedy and surprisingly heartfelt storytelling, making Pieces of the Past a celebration of imagination, play, and the enduring spirit of the galaxy far, far away.
