From: Disney XD (YouTube):
“Poe to the Rescue” is the first episode in “LEGO Star Wars: The Resistance Rises,” a series of all-new animated shorts that take place prior to the First Order’s attack on Jakku and tell never-before-told stories including Kylo Ren, Han Solo, Finn, Rey, BB-8, Maz Kanata and more.
Premiering immediately after Disney XD’s highly anticipated “Gravity Falls” finale, the short will follow Resistance pilot Poe Dameron as he comes to the aid of Admiral Ackbar who is being held captive by Captain Phasma. Kylo Ren, C-3PO and BB-8 will also appear.
UPDATE!
And here’s the full episode:
Founder of SWNN, MNN and The Cantina forums.

too bad that the kind publisher didn’t allow to see the video in my country.
That probably means I won’t be able to view it in my region either. Thanks for the heads up.
you’re welcome. :/
This is it. As a child of the 90s. The old and the new heroes! Could anything be better, wait yes my 8 year old twins loving star wars.
Not available in Brazil.
Neither in Argentina
Wow! Phasma actually does something!
If anyone cannot access the video, try this one:

Kylo is Adam Driver right?
It sounded like him.
Sounded like a different voice actor.
Maybe because it’s not canon, maybe it’s because Phasma actually does something but I kind of enjoyed this.
Ugh, more Lego news. I’d rather read news about Jar Jar.
Why do they legofy everything these days… Is it because it’s easier to animate and doesn’t require as much workforce?
Is the Bakura Sector canon now?
LEGO isn’t canon, so no, at least not from this.
Lol, Phasma is the new General Grievous.
Hey, don’t be unfair to Grevious and Boba Fett. At least they did something notable during their movie appearances.
Such as cough 😉
Kidnap the chancellor, and track down Han Solo when no one else could. All Phasma did was surrender, and allow the base to be destroyed. I thought her armour was made from Sheev’s yacht, that should be pretty powerful. 😛
She murdered some villagers.
Correction: Told the stormtroopers to murder some villagers 😛
just to be sure, this is non-canon right?
I hope so…
LEGO has never been canon.
oh.. captain phasma moves at more than 10 miles per hour? does something notable? this MUST be non-canon…
I enjoyed this more than TCW, Rebels, and the Prequels
Get out.
That’s what the prequels needed more of, not good dialogue or relatable characters, Legos.
-_-
Hey man I just trudged through all of TCW and I gave Rebels its fair shot. There are upsides to both but they just don’t have that Star Wars magic. Somehow though, Lego, with it’s weird and goofy tone feel more like Star Wars IMO than anything outsides of the movies (the 4 good ones).
You are allowed to have your own opinion, no matter how much it kills me on the inside.

Nice try purist 😉
Thats a bizarre thing to report, but ok. I don’t know what you mean by purist though, I just didn’t like those three things I mention
But the prequels still needed more Legos, not more good dialogue, or relatable characters, or good CGI, or an actual story, them darn Legos

I could watch this all day…
This 6-minute episode is better than every single Rebels episode combined.
But….but….Siege of Lothal….
Oh my god, you are total idiot.
Hilarious, yet fun. But if this is canon…
LEGO is never canon, calm yourself.
I liked it. Stellar job on the threepio voice, but Phasma had no effect on her voice. I found that odd.
Dopey Lego nonsense. I guess it’s great if you’re like 6.
Why are you even commenting here?
from a story driven perspective, this is pretty awesome!
The return of Daisy May!
