Darth Jar Jar Returns in “LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past” September 19th 2025. The LEGO Star Wars saga is set to continue with a new four-part sequel series, “LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past,” Disney+ announced today at Star Wars Celebration in Japan. The reveal included a surprise appearance by Ahmed Best, the actor behind Jar Jar Binks, who discussed his character’s unexpected reimagining as the popular Darth Jar Jar in the original “Rebuild the Galaxy.”
“I always liked this Darth Jar Jar theory,” said Best. “You know what the funniest thing is? People would come up to me and go, ‘Have you heard this Darth Jar Jar [theory]?’ And I was like, how could I have not heard? [laughs] It’s everywhere. But I always wanted to explore this whole Darth Jar Jar thing. So when Rebuild the Galaxy came about, I was just like, oh, this is perfect. This is the best way to explore Darth Jar Jar and start talking about him. I got to do a whole bunch of comedy ad-libbing while we were doing it, which is my thing. I loved it.”
One of Best’s self-proclaimed favorite ad-libs was Darth Jar Jar’s line, “I am the phantom menace. I have always been the Phantom Menace.” He added with a smile, “It’s something I’ve been meaning to say for over 20 years.”
What’s Next: Following a cliffhanger ending in the first installment of Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, showrunners Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit teased the continuation of Sig, Yesi, and Jedi Bob’s story in a video message. The new season’s title was unveiled through a charming LEGO time-lapse video.
Intriguing Additions: A new poster hinted at exciting developments, including a massive brick-built Chewbacca and the animated debut of Jaxxon, the Lepi smuggler from classic Marvel comics, voiced by Ben Schwartz. Adding to the excitement, Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano, joined the stage with a LEGO BrickHeadz version of her character, confirming Ahsoka’s presence in “Pieces of the Past.”
Mark Your Calendars: “LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past” is slated to premiere on Disney+ on September 19, 2025, promising more brick-filled adventures in the galaxy far, far away.
