Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures Season 2 Is Coming in the US this Summer and in the UK in Autumn. New Trailer Released!
A familar Twi’lek rebel joins the Freemaker family on their adventure as Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures returns this summer for its second season. Hit the jump to watch the all new trailer plus Disney’s official press release on Season two.
From Disney:
A second season of the animated comedy adventure series “LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures” is set to return this Autumn on Disney XD in the UK. The fun Force-filled series will continue the story of the Freemakers as they join the Rebellion in their fight against the Empire.
Marc Buhaj, senior vice president, Programming and general manager, Disney XD, announced, “The series creators expertly deliver an equal amount of comedy and signature Star Wars adventure into their storytelling. We’re looking forward to bringing our viewers a brand new season of galactic adventures with the Freemaker family.”
At the end of the first season, the Freemaker family found a new home with the Rebel fleet. Their new circumstances bring them face to face with brutal Imperial forces, desperate Hutts, conniving Sith Lords, and the Emperor’s latest plaything, M-OC, a terrifying hunter droid who continually modifies himself to fit any occasion. In response to these threats, Rowan’s powers grow and strengthen until he has a vision of a sleek, invulnerable ship that can save the Rebellion and stop the Empire in its tracks – the Arrowhead. The catch is, the Arrowhead is a ship only Rowan can build. Once again, it’s up to the youngest Freemaker to save the galaxy.
Prior to the second season debut, five new shorts that fill in the storytelling between seasons one and two of “LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures” debut from WEDNESDAY, MAY 4 on Disney XD in celebration of the Star Wars fan-generated “May the 4th Be With You” holiday. A peek of the upcoming season of “LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures” will also be revealed at Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, Florida in April. More details on Star Wars Celebration are available here.
The season two voice cast includes Nicolas Cantu (Rowan), Vanessa Lengies (Kordi), Eugene Byrd (Zander), Matthew Wood (RO-GR), Trevor Devall (Emperor), Dana Snyder (Graballa), Vanessa Marshall (Hera), Yvette Nicole Brown (Lt. Valeria), Corey Burton (Quarrie), James Urbaniak (M-OC) and Matt Sloan (Darth Vader).

So it’s like Rebels but for even younger kids.
And less 40-year-old men
Do people actually watch this to warrant a second season? Baffling indeed!
Yes. It’s entertainment. For children.
That’s awesome, I didn’t know they were going to make a second season of this. When I first saw the announcement for the first one I pushed it away as far too kiddy to watch, but one night I decided to give it a chance and it’s not all that bad. The Lego Movie and the Lego Batman Movies are critically praised because they’re a solid comedy and although this isn’t on that level, I’d say it’s enjoyable to watch.
US this Summer and UK this autumn? So.. everywhere this Summer? it’s 2017.. Internet 😛
Curious why Detours got cancelled and similarly campy/non-canonical shit like this gets a second season aside from the fact that the House Of Mouse had no input in that show.
That, and the fact that they wanted to focus more on new franchises (like how Freemaker is referencing Rebels) and not just lampoon the OT for 30 minutes a week. I’m sure Detours will be released eventually.
The way the last season ended, I expected this, but good to get a confirmation. As a Lego show, this one really surprised me with its entertainment value.
The creators said this show is not necessarily canon, but “canon congruent” or something like that. I guess that means Hera survives until post-TESB?
That’s more than likely. They don’t tie anything LEGo down to canon, but the makers of everything LEGO get a lot of info straight from Lucasfilm and do their best to line it up. A good example of this is when LEGO TFA got those levels about how C-3PO lost his arm (called “Phantom Limb), and then it turned out not only that the C-3PO one shot followed the exact same story, but that it was also called “The Phantom Limb”.
TL;DR: Yeah Hera’ probably lives after TESB.
Season 1 is worth a shot. Give it a chance. It’s not high level Star Wars quality, but it’s good fun that has more heart than you initially think. It pokes fun at Star Wars tropes like everything LEGO and you don’t understand how entertaining Vader and the Emperor are until you watch. It’s worth it. Really looking forward to season 2 to see where they take it.
Sounds like some people need to relax. It’s a kids’ show. Not everything needs to be aimed at the adult demographic.
Then what is Rebels?
Rebels is also essentially for kids. Were you not aware of this?
