LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy Writers Discuss Giving Live to Darth Jar Jar

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who grew up playing with LEGO bricks and eagerly awaiting each new installment of this iconic franchise, I can confidently say that “LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy” is shaping up to be an unparalleled masterpiece. The integration of fan-made characters like Darth Jar Jar and Jedi Bob into the official Star Wars universe is a testament to the power of fandom and the boundless creativity it inspires.


In a fresh twist for the Star Wars universe, a new offering – LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, premiering exclusively on Disney+ tomorrow – aims to surprise fans by incorporating their creative ideas and contributions into its four-episode run. Among the familiar faces gracing this unique series is Darth Jar Jar, an ominous counterpart to the lovable yet annoying Gungan character, who first appeared nearly a decade ago in the Star Wars prequels, born from the collective imagination of passionate viewers.

Last month, a Comic-Con interview with the creative team behind LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy confirmed Darth Jar Jar’s official induction into the Star Wars universe, adding that original Jar Jar Binks voice and motion capture actor Ahmed Best would once again be lending his talents to the role. Although the character of Darth Jar Jar initially began as a meme and somewhat credible fan theory, he has transformed into a priceless aspect of Star Wars history, and his emergence onto the screen is a true testament of dedication to Star Wars fans.

There’s still some uncertainty about how significant a role Darth Jar Jar will have in the upcoming Disney+ miniseries, but given the massive excitement over his unexpected return, fans are probably not going to be let down. A multitude of comments under the official teaser trailer for LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy show just how much adoration Darth Jar Jar has garnered among fans as a meme and cultural icon in popular media. One comment even suggests that “Darth Jar Jar was 10 times more epic than ‘somehow, Palpatine returned,'” referring to the controversial plot twist of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Another comment simply states, “‘The man, the myth, the legend, Darth Jar Jar.'”

A Star Wars Universe Like Nothing You’ve Ever Seen Before

In the upcoming miniseries, LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, not only Darth Jar Jar but also other fan-created Star Wars lore will find its place. The official trailer unveiled a fresh galaxy where roles are reversed, and Ewoks hunt bounties instead of being hunted. This new world provides the creators with an ideal chance to incorporate various fan theories about the Star Wars universe. For example, another character in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is Jedi Bob, a name that rings a bell among long-time LEGO enthusiasts. Initially presented as a “mystery Jedi,” Jedi Bob was just a generic minifigure from a 2002 LEGO set showcasing a Republic Gunship. His friendly and bearded appearance earned him the name from fans.

Brimming with passion, creativity, and a sprinkle of fans’ own thoughts about the Star Wars universe, the potential for LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy appears strong. This series is set to launch tomorrow, on Friday the 13th, and can only be found on Disney+. So, eager viewers should avoid crossing paths with black cats or climbing ladders before they get a chance to see Darth Jar Jar come alive for the first time.
