"LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker
Adventures" is an all-new animated television series scheduled to debut
this summer on Disney XD in the U.S. The fun-filled adventure comedy series
will introduce all-new heroes and villains in exciting adventures with many
familiar Star Wars characters.
Told in the whimsically-charged style that audiences
have come to expect from LEGO Star Wars entertainment, the series stars the Freemakers, a
family of scavengers who build and sell starships from the scoured debris of
space battles strewn throughout the galaxy.
When their youngest discovers a natural connection with the Force through
an ancient artifact - the Kyber Saber – his world is turned upside down, and he
and his family are thrown into an epic struggle against the Empire to restore
peace and freedom to the galaxy. Throughout their adventures, the Freemakers
explore new worlds, meet new and familiar characters, and learn the true value
of what it means to be a family.
"We are very excited to launch for the first time
a TV series with Disney XD," said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing
& entertainment at the LEGO Group. "The creative team behind 'The
Freemaker Adventures' is extremely talented, and the series is a great
testament to our longstanding and successful partnership with Lucasfilm and
Disney. The show masterfully combines the rich heritage of storytelling, great
characters, action and adventure in a galaxy far, far away with the creativity,
imagination and humor that only LEGO Star
Wars can deliver. We are sure fans young and old are going to love the
show."
"With 'The Freemaker Adventures' we are thrilled to bring all new
stories to life that could only be realized in the LEGO Star Wars universe,"
said Carrie Beck, vice president, animation development at Lucasfilm. "We
are embarking on an unprecedented collaboration that will allow us to extend
the narrative experience of the Star Wars saga with the same
playful spirit that’s always made LEGO Star Wars so much fun
to watch. We are so thankful to have such great partners in the LEGO Group,
Disney XD and series developers Bill Motz and Bob Roth."
"LEGO® Star Wars: The
Freemaker Adventures" is a production of Wil Film, the LEGO Group and Lucasfilm. Developed for television by Bill Motz and Bob
Roth ("Penguins of Madagascar"), they join Torsten Jacobson ("LEGO
Star Wars: Droid Tales") and
Jill Wilfert ("The LEGO Movie") as executive producers alongside producers
