LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures

Between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, a trio of young siblings make their living salvaging wrecked starfighters and repurposing the parts into new creations they can sell. Rowan, the inventive youngest, his older sister Kordi, who handles engineering and sales, and their resourceful brother Zander run a small salvage shop while trying to stay out of trouble. They travel with Roger, a patched-up battle droid with a dry sense of humor, and their escapades put them up close to familiar Star Wars events and characters, but the show stays focused on their clever builds, tight family bond, and lighthearted adventures rather than altering the original films.

Released in 2016, the series was created by Bill Motz, Bob Roth, and James W. Bates. It’s a LEGO Star Wars animated series featuring voices like Nicolas Cantu as Rowan, Vanessa Lengies as Kordi, Eugene Byrd as Zander, and Matthew Wood as R0-GR "Roger", and it reached audiences on Disney's television platforms.

Critical and audience reaction leaned middling to positive, reflected in an average user score of about 6.8 out of 10 from fan ratings. Reviewers and viewers tended to praise the humor, family dynamic, and accessible take on Star Wars lore, noting that the show is aimed squarely at younger viewers and families while still offering enough references for long time fans.

Though it didn’t rake in major industry awards, the series carved out a steady fanbase among kids and LEGO collectors. Its emphasis on creativity and teamwork made it a go-to pick for younger Star Wars fans looking for a lighter, more comedic entry in the timeline.

The Freemaker Adventures helped broaden LEGO Star Wars storytelling on screen by introducing original characters who fit neatly into the gap between two classic films. For many viewers it’s a gateway show, offering playful set pieces, inventive ship designs, and a family-first tone that keeps the focus on imagination and problem solving.
