LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy Writers Talk Bringing Darth Jar Jar to Life

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who has spent countless hours debating the finer points of the franchise with fellow fans, I must say that the upcoming Disney+ miniseries LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is a dream come true. The idea of Darth Jar Jar, a Sith Lord Gungan, is something that has been tossed around in fan circles for years, and it’s heartwarming to see it finally come to fruition.


In a surprising turn of events happening later this week, the Star Wars universe is set for a significant revamp with the debut of the Disney+ miniseries titled “LEGO Star Wars: Rebuilding Galaxies“. This animated series aims to challenge viewers’ perceptions about the popular science fiction saga. One intriguing twist it introduces is the character Darth Jar Jar (Ahmed Best), a sinister Sith version of the beloved Gungan, who has long been speculated by fans to have a dark side. As LEGO Star Wars: Rebuilding Galaxies producers and writers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit shared in an exclusive interview with ComicBook, the choice to bring Darth Jar Jar to life was a straightforward decision.

In our chat, Samit shared an exciting revelation: “LEGO Star Wars, while not completely canonical, is at least closely related,” he said. “This was one of those concepts that, from the early discussions about the show, felt like a perfect fit. It was like saying, ‘We must rebuild the galaxy, mix things up, and what better place to start than Darth Jar Jar?’ That idea came up quite early, and I remember us, before we’d even tasted success, brainstorming over junk food, speculating about Darth Jar Jar. Now, to say that we actually brought this idea to life is truly mind-blowing.
