An all new LEGO STAR WARS show is hitting Disney XD on Monday, June 20th (10am EST) and because it is the premiere week there will be a new episode every day from Monday to Thursday. The show is called LEGO Star Wars™: The Freemaker Adventures and it is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. This is an action comedy, as only LEGO can do, and follows the Freemakers. The Freemakers are a family of sibling scavengers who operate a salvage and repair shop in space. With the show being set during the original trilogy we will be seeing some familiar faces, and places, from the Star Wars universe. I’m excited to see who shows up. There will also be some brand new LEGO construction sets based on the Freemakers and their adventures (on shelves in June – perfect timing to build alongside the show). I think it may be about time that I let the kids in on the secret that I have dozens of Star Wars themed LEGO sets in our basement that have been just waiting to be opened and played with.

But before the show airs the kids and I can and explore the new LEGO® Star Wars™ Force Builder app (available now) to keep inspiring their building adventures. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Builder app allows anyone to create their own “ugly”, allowing iPhone and Android users the ability to prototype unique builds, offering thousands of configurations to inform and inspire your own real-life LEGO builds. Here is a trailer for the show.

DVD Review: Star Wars Droid Tales

Star Wars: Droid Tales

The kids are now so into Star Wars and also LEGO. This new DVD, STAR WARS: Droid Tales is such a perfect combination of LEGO and Star Wars. The LEGO humor is enjoyable for the whole family. There are some adult moments that are perfect for Allison and I and there is also kid’s humor that is great for the kids. There are so many funny things that happen in the episodes. One of my favorite parts of the series is when C-3PO talks about meeting R2-D2 for the first time. Then they meet Anakin, and every time we hear Qui-Gon Jinn say something to Anakin, which we know isn’t going to turn out well, there is a guy who is selling Red Flags. The kids don’t understand what a Red Flag is but as parent’s we as so tickled by the humor. The characters are great, done in the LEGO style and the voices are done very well. I could watch these over and over. Here are some clips that will show you what I mean.
