Surprisingly entertaining this show manages to be family friendly instead of simply kid friendly. It is bursting with personality. To strike a more suitable comedic tone it seems that a few characters were inspired by their puppet counterparts in the Robot chicken shorts. The emperor especially is just a treat to watch him and his antics. The main characters are also quite well written. The Freemakers do feel like a real family. it is quite heartwarming to see them work together. Furthermore the setting makes perfect use of the lego star wars setting by merging the master builder concept from the lego movie with the concept of the force. The result is quite unlike everything else in the star wars franchise and a breath of fresh air. using the force to build instead of throwing stuff around allows for a lot more creativity on the part of the writers. Finally, while a few people might lament the status of the show as non canon to the broader Disney Star wars franchise i must say that this works to the show's advantage. It has far more liberty in its storytelling by being in its own canon.
LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, is an animated television series that debuted in June of 2016 on Disney XD in the US. The fun-filled adventure comedy series, set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, introduced all-new heroes and villains in exciting adventures with many familiar Star Wars characters.
LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures was a production of Wil Film, the LEGO Group, and Lucasfilm. Developed for television by Bill Motz and Bob Roth (Penguins of Madagascar), they joined Torsten Jacobson (LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales) and Jill Wilfert (The LEGO Movie) as executive producers alongside producers Carrie Beck (Star Wars Rebels), Jason Cosler (LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Avengers Reassembled!), Jake Blais, and John McCormack. A second season was later announced for Summer 2017 [1] . Characters from the series would appear in the subsequent series LEGO Star Wars: All-Stars.

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.”

"The core of LEGO is building sets with family and Star Wars is a story about a kid, his father, and his sister, and go back to the prequels and see that it's about building a family. That's the core of LEGO, too. Family had to be at the heart of this thing" ―Bob Roth [5]

Plot summary [ ]
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 galaxy 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 faces, and learn the true value of what it means to be a family. [3]
Main characters [ ]
The Freemakers and Roger
The Freemaker Adventures focuses on four main characters: three Freemaker siblings, their old Clone Wars B1 Battle droid, and Naare. The Freemakers are a family of scavengers who operate a salvage and repair shop in space. They include Kordi Freemaker, who manages the family business; ace pilot and starship enthusiast Zander Freemaker; and their adventurous Force-sensitive younger brother Rowan Freemaker. The droid, R0-GR ("Roger"), is a refurbished B1-series battle droid. [4] The Freemaker Adventures introduces a number of new characters including the Sith agent Naare [9] and the Hutt crime lord Graballa. [5] The series also utilizes a number of characters from the Star Wars movies, including Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and Dengar. [4]
Zander Freemaker [ ]
Zander is the eldest sibling [5] in the Freemaker family. He is an ace pilot and a skilled mechanic who has a passion for starships. He is quick and agile, but always seems to find trouble where ever he goes, but he protects his family as best as he can. The character is voiced by American actor Eugene Byrd. [4] Creator Bob Roth modeled the eighteen-year old Zander after his "car-nut" of an older son. [5]
Kordi Freemaker [ ]
Kordi is the middle sibling [5] in the Freemaker family and the leader of the scavenging operation. She is a self-described tomboy, a tough fighter, and a quick-witted negotiator who is able to talk her and her brothers' way out of a trouble. She is a caring sister who loves her brothers very much and will do almost anything to have them safe. Kordi is voiced by Canadian actress Vanessa Lengies. [4] Roth characterized Kordi's role as keeping the other two "knuckleheads" [her brothers] in line. [5]
Rowan Freemaker [ ]
Rowan is the Force-sensitive youngest sibling [5] in the Freemaker family. An adventurous twelve-year-old, he has a knack for getting himself and his family into trouble, especially when hunting for the Kyber Crystals. Rowan was voiced by child actor Nicolas Cantu. [4] Roth based the character Rowan on his own twelve-year old and posited the scenario of a Jedi having to train a "kid who's an unfocused bundle of energy." [5]
R0-GR ("Roger") [ ]
Roger is a refurbished B1 battle droid who is programmed to serve as Rowan's buddy. He is a friendly but misunderstood simpleton. [4] Roger is a capable thinker when the time calls for it and he loves being with his adopted family, the Freemakers. Roger is voiced by Lucasfilm sound director Matthew Wood, who had previously worked as a voice actor for the B1-series battle droids in the Prequel trilogy and the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Wood described playing a battle droid character with a major character arc for the first time as a "dream come true." [5]
Development [ ]
Bill Motz and Bob Roth, the creators of The Freemaker Adventures
Conception [ ]
"Humor is important, but the drama is also important. The stakes are real. There's real jeopardy. The fate of the galaxy is at stake. We want our characters to handle the dramatic as well as the funny." ―Bill Motz [5]
LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures was created by Bill Motz and Bob Roth. The two men first conceived the idea for The Freemaker Adventures while attending the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con. During a party, Motz and Roth overheard that The Walt Disney Company was interested in producing a LEGO Star Wars animated show. Moth and Roth wanted to produce a television series that incorporated the Star Wars films. [5]
Over a dinner-table conversation, Motz and Roth fleshed out the idea of a family of scavengers who collected scrap from Clone Wars battles prior to the events of Return of the Jedi. The two creators took care to incorporate several classic Star Wars characters into their story including Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Emperor Palpatine. Metz characterized Vader and the Emperor as the "out of touch, detached upper management of the galaxy." From the onset, Motz and Roth wanted The Freemaker Adventures to be totally different from the previous LEGO Star Wars television series and games which had taken a parody-driven approach towards the Star Wars saga. [5]
Production [ ]
"A touch of humor. We're allowed to play with them. It's like creating a side-Star Wars universe that creates a freedom." ―Michael Hegner responding to a question about the difference between Star Wars and LEGO design [5]
Erik Varszegi and the Freemaker Garage model
The Freemaker Adventures was jointly produced by the LEGO Group, Lucasfilm, Disney, [5] and Wil Film. Torsten Jacobson and Jill Wilfert served as the animated television show's executive producers while Carrie Beck, Jason Cosler, Jake Blais, and John McCormack served as producers. [3] Michael Hegner, Jens Møller, Martin Skov, Frederik Budolph-Larsen, and Per Risager directed several episodes.
According to Hegner, the production team adapted the classic Star Wars sets to LEGO by making them smaller in order to fit the LEGO tone and scale. The illustrator and art director Doug Chiang helped design objects such as the Hutt antagonist Graballa's starship Rancor's Fist. [5] LEGO's Lead Model Designer Erik Varszegi also built a scale model of the Freemaker's Garage using LEGO bricks. [10]
The veteran Lucasfilm sound editor Matthew Wood, who also voiced the protagonist "Roger", was responsible for designing sound for the entire show including the Freemakers' starship StarScavenger and their garage. Wood used a specialized computer digital processor to create the voice of Roger. While recording the show, Wood spoke in his normal voice but used the computer program to augment his voice during the post-recording process. Wood used this same digital process when voicing the battle droids in the Prequels and The Clone Wars animated series. The podracer sequence in the seventh episode "Race on Tatooine" was modeled after the Boonta Eve Classic from The Phantom Menace. [5]
The music score for Freemaker Adventures was composed by Michael Kramer, who recorded the television show's score during a live orchestra. He also incorporated John Williams' cues into the TV show. [5] The four main cast members were child actor Nicolas Cantu (Rowan), Eugene Byrd (Zander), Vanessa Lengies (Kordi), and Matthew Wood (Roger). [4] Other recurring cast members included Grey Griffin (who voiced the antagonistic Naare), Dana Snyder (Graballa), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian), and Greg Proops (Fode and Beed). [5]
For Season Two, Doug Chiang and his team redesigned the characters' costumes to allow a more natural transition into their LEGO forms. The protagonist Rowan's costume was also redesigned to resemble Luke Skywalker's fatigues from The Empire Strikes Back. Chiang also designed the antagonistic hunter droid M-OC, who was voiced by James Urbaniak, and his starship. Rowan Freemaker's starship Arrowhead was also designed by Ryan Church, who had worked as a concept artist on the prequel trilogy. [11]

To promote the series, Bill Motz, Bob Roth, Michael Hegner, and Matthew Wood hosted a panel live blog at Celebration Europe 2016. Besides discussing the conceptualization and development of the series, they also played a podracer clip from the seventh episode "Race on Tatooine", which was inspired by The Phantom Menace. During the hour-long session, the creative team also addressed questions regarding the Canonicity of the series. To promote the series, LEGO produced two toy sets based on the starships StarScavenger and Eclipse Fighter. In addition, a Freemaker-themed expansion pack was added to the LEGO computer game LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens. [5]
Season Two [ ]
Season Two premiered in the summer of 2017. It continues the Freemakers' adventures with the Rebel Alliance as they face the Empire, Hutt crime lords, Sith Lords, and the Emperor's new hunter droid M-OC. Rowan also builds a new starship to aid the Rebellion called the Arrowhead. [8] To promote Season Two, Bill Motz and Bob Roth, Story Group member Leland Chee, Michael Kramer, Matthew Wood, and host Amy Ratcliffe hosted a panel at Celebration Orlando on April 16, 2017. During the panel, Roth confirmed that Season Two would focus on the Freemakers' involvement in the Rebel Alliance with the main story arc being Rowan discovering his purpose. Roth also confirmed that several Rebel Alliance characters including Princess Leia Organa and Hera Syndulla would appear as supporting characters. During the Celebration Orlando panel, Motz and Roth also displayed two LEGO models of MOC and Rowan's new ship Arrowhead. As a bonus for audience members, the season premiere was also screened. [11]

The series would then resume on July 31 with new episodes running Monday through Thursday until August 16.

A LEGO set from Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures
Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures is a subtheme of LEGO Star Wars sets based on the TV series LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures. The subtheme ran from 2016 to 2017. [19]
Reception [ ]
On March 23, 2017, it was reported that the first season of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures had been nominated for four Emmy nominations: Best Children's Animated Program, Best Casting for an Animated Series or Special, Best Animation Sound Editing, and Best Music Direction and Composition. [20]
On December 5, 2017, it was reported that the Freemaker Adventures Season Two episode "Trouble on Tibalt" had been nominated for the Annie Award's Outstanding Achievement for Music in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production. [21]
Continuity [ ]
"We work with the Story Group, and we work with a woman named Carrie Beck, and she has this smile. and when we pitch things to her and she smiles and says, 'You can't do that,' we know that we've stumbled into Rogue One, Episode IX -- who knows what. But seeing The Force Awakens before we started, I was like, 'Oh, that's why we couldn't do that one story!'" ―Bob Roth responding to an interview on IGN [22]
While The Freemaker Adventures is not considered canon, the creators Motz and Roth and director Hegner still consulted the Lucasfilm Story Group members Leland Chee and Carrie Beck to ensure that the show did not contradict the official Canon storyline. [5] [22] However, the Story Group still allowed the show's production team to "take liberties for the comedy of situations." During a panel liveblog held at Celebration Europe in London on July 16 2016, the creators also characterized The Freemaker Adventures as "canon-adjacent" but implied that their adherence to the Story Group's guideline meant that "this [the TV series] could be." When asked whether the crew of the Ghost, the main cast of the Canon animated television series Star Wars Rebels, could appear in the series, the creators clarified that this would not be the case for Season One but hinted that they might appear at a later time. [5] During Celebration Orlando in April 2017, Roth confirmed that General Hera Syndulla would indeed be appearing. [11]
During an interview with IGN journalist Max Nicholson, Roth described LEGO Star Wars as "its own unique universe" which followed the Star Wars continuity but was "reenacted by a kid playing with his own toys." Motz characterized the animated series as "Canon Paraphrase." The creators also pitched ideas regularly to Beck to ensure that their ideas and plot elements did not come into conflict with other projects like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. [22]
In addition to this, the character of R0-GR was officially brought into canon with the release of Star Wars: Droidography. [23] [24]
