Lego Star Wars TV Special Coming To Blu-Ray?

2011-08-13T07:30:00.001-07:00

I saw that the Lego Star Wars TV Special is coming to Blu-Ray? I thought the special was good, but not good enough to come to Blu-Ray because I just don't know who is going to buy it, but come to think of it this might actually work seeing how this is like the first Lego "Movie" with actually voices in it and to be sold in stores. Well IDK I guess we will have to wait and see. Tell me what you think in the comments below!

Wow! This looks like it is going to be great! Here is the press release and some still shots of the TV Special.

Premiering Friday July 22, LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace™
Will Feature Signature Family-Friendly Fun, Spirited Action and Irreverent Humor

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (July 7, 2011) – After the runaway success of their wildly popular building sets, video game collaborations and animated shorts, The LEGO Group and Lucasfilm will join forces once again for an all-new adventure – their first-ever original television special. Premiering on Cartoon Network on Friday, July 22 at 7:00 p.m. (ET, PT) in high-definition computer animation, the 30-minute original standalone special – LEGO® Star Wars: The Padawan Menace – will feature the charm, action and irreverent humor that have become the signature style of LEGO Star Wars animation collaborations.

Featuring situations, characters and locations from throughout the entire Star Wars Saga, the original adventure is written by Emmy® Award winner Michael Price (The Simpsons) and produced by Academy Award-winning Animal Logic, the production company behind Happy Feet.

“We’re certain that fans of LEGO play and the Star Wars universe will be as excited by this new original animated LEGO Star Wars episode as we are,” said Jill Wilfert, vice president of licensing and entertainment for The LEGO Group. “Developing original animated content leveraging the LEGO and Star Wars brands is incredibly rewarding for us because it not only engages and entertains fans in original stories and adventures that further their imaginative play, it authentically delivers on the inherent values and fun that LEGO play brings to the partnership.”

To date, Star Wars is the first and most successful LEGO licensed product collection in the company’s history, generating more than 200 LEGO models and approximately 275 LEGO minifigures inspired by the Saga, which has also spurred a blockbuster collection of videogames, selling 25 million units to date worldwide. In addition to its popularity among younger fans, a significant portion of the LEGO Star Wars consumer fan base is made up of nostalgic adults and franchise collectors.

LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace is scheduled to air multiple times on Cartoon Network during the weekend including: Friday, July 22 at 7 p.m. (ET/PT), Saturday, July 23 at 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. (ET/PT) and Sunday, July 24 at 4:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

A routine Jedi Academy field trip is turned into a rip-roaring comic adventure in LEGO Star WarsTM: The Padawan MenaceTM. Tour guide Master Yoda leads a group of rambunctious Jedi younglings through Senate chambers when he senses a disturbance in the Force. Summoned to help save the Republic, he discovers that one of the younglings secretly boarded his ship…and has a taste for adventure! Meanwhile, C-3PO and R2-D2 are put in charge of the boisterous group and find themselves in over their heads. As the evil Sith prepare to wreak havoc, it’s up to Yoda and the droids to ensure that their young charges aren’t torn to bricks!

2011-07-03T06:31:00.000-07:00

Lego Star Wars Super Star Destroyer UCS!

2011-07-01T07:08:00.000-07:00

Set to release on September 1st 2011, the upcoming set #10221 Super Star Destroyer "Executor" is going to be Massive and close to as many pieces as the UCS Millennium Falcon! The price will probably be somewhere around $499.99 USD and it has 3,152 pieces. It will also include minifigures with the set (Rare for a UCS set to have minifigures with it). Here is a list of all the minifigures: Darth Vader, Admiral Piett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88. This ship also measures 50"" (124.5cm) long and weighing nearly 8 pounds (3.5kg)! This set looks like it is going to be great and worth any collectors shelf!

It was revealed at the Licensing International Expo 2011, that a Lego Star Wars Television special is set to premiere this September.

Mysterious Mace Windu Fighter Set?

2011-06-29T18:59:00.000-07:00

Well set # 7868 Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter still hasn't been released in the U.S. yet. They said it would be out early June, but as we all know it wasn't... I thought it was supposed to be released with all the winter sets, but I guess not. Oh well, I hope it comes with the Summer 2011 sets or will it ever come out in the U.S.? :P

New Creations Section on LEGO.com.

2011-06-29T09:14:00.000-07:00

Well LEGO.com replaced the Gallery section on the Star Wars page with a new Creations section. If you ask me the gallery and the new Creations page were both the same and the change wasn't needed, but if your going to do any uploading of your Star Wars Creations to LEGO.com you can't use the gallery anymore. I guess they changed it to make it more modern and better fit for the site and it does look a bit better. I do have one question though, what about all the old creation in the original gallery? Do they automatically get uploaded to the new Creations section or do you have to do it over again? Give m your response this in the comments below!
