What the Jim!

I’ve now seen both seasons of LEGO StarWars Rebuild The Galaxy & I give them both 8.5/10!

The series is a twist on the world of StarWars where the Jedi are Sith & the Sith are Jedi, the Landalorian (Lando Calrissian as Mando), Darth Jar Jar + a lot more clever spins on the lore of StarWars.

It’s a very funny, entertaining & well-written series to watch on Disney+ that also has excellent animation, some of the best I’ve seen from LEGO!

I personally preferred season 2 called Rebuild The Galaxy: Pieces Of The Past as I thought the story was more engaging & the main characters (Sig, his evil brother Dev, Sig’s droid Servo & Jedi Master Bob AFOL) were already established & I found the season funnier as well.

I definitely recommend both seasons if you have Disney+ & you’re fan of StarWars or LEGO as a whole!😃👍☮️♥️
