Stranger Things Star Gaten Matarazzo Says the World Needs Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy Right Now
Gaten Matarazzo and Tony Revolori take us inside Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past, teasing deep-cut Easter eggs, brick-built mayhem, and the heart behind the hilarity.
If your brain could use a break from timeline spreadsheets and canon debates, Lego Star Wars is here with a stress-free sequel season that just wants to be fun. And honestly, same.
What is 'Pieces of the Past'?
'Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past' is the follow-up season to last year’s 'Rebuild the Galaxy.' Gaten Matarazzo and Tony Revolori are back as brick-built brothers Sig and Dev Greebling, this time teaming up by blending Sig’s Force Building with Dev’s Sith Breaking to save the galaxy again. The adventure sends them poking into the far corners of Lego Star Wars lore and pulling in fragments from pretty much every galaxy we’ve seen before.
Quick continuity note for the canon-curious: this show plays in its own sandbox. It is deliberately non-canon within the larger Star Wars saga, even though it’s set sometime after 'The Rise of Skywalker' in the Lego-verse. Translation: it doesn’t need to line up with anything, and that’s the point.
The vibe (and why that matters)
Matarazzo and Revolori told GamesRadar+ they leaned into something simple: feel-good Star Wars that isn’t weighed down by lore homework. Given the state of the world (and fandom), the pitch is almost therapeutic: a toyetic remix of Star Wars where the only rule is to have a good time.
'I just think the world loves wholesome moments in general... there’s something beautiful about the hero always prevailing... about feeling hopeful and finding a new hope.'
Revolori doubles down on the mission statement: make something that lets fans breathe, laugh, and not stress about where it sits on a chart. Characters you love, tossed into proudly ridiculous situations. That’s the show.
