Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Load Up On Wookie Cookies With The Lego Force Awakens Game On June 16

A couple days ago I posted a series of Lego Star Wars Force Awakens prequel shorts and it seems they were created to setup Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The upcoming game features voice actors from the original cast such as Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa), Daisy Ridley (Rey), Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), John Boyega (Finn), Lupita Nyong’o (Maz Kanata), Max von Sydow (Lor San Tekka) and Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron).

Happy to see Disney make a solid effort to keep these stories in proper cannon but also allow the whimsical nature of the Lego universe so we... Read All

Disney & Lego Release Prequel Force Awakens Star Wars Cartoons

Don't let the thought of a Force Awakens prequel give you the wrong impression, this new Disney web series is ridiculously enjoyable. So far Disney has released Poe To The Rescue (featured above), The Trouble With Rathtars, Hunting For Han and Rey Strikes Back.

So how canon is this? I assume Poe didn't actually bowl down a bunch of stormtroopers with a helmet. And BB-8 sounds so incredibly wrong. Lego is usually better about that.

JJ says Poe bowling down stormtroopers with his helmet is SO canon.
