LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures Season 2

Last summer I really enjoyed relaxing with my kids watching the Disney XD animated television series THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES.  The show features two things that my kids and I both love --> LEGO and Star Wars!  So it was really fun sharing some time watching a show that my kids and I equally enjoyed.  Containing the quirky humor LEGO television shows and movies have become known for with the characters and places from the Star Wars galaxy has made this a splendid show that adults and children can watch together and mutually like.  So it seems only fitting that the first show of Season 2 is debuting Fathers Day Weekend with the remainder of the episodes being broadcast later in the summer.  You know I'm going to be watching with my family!

The show's story takes place between Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES has introduced Star Wars fans to a new trio of characters, the Freemaker family consisting of three siblings — Rowan, his sister Kordi, and their brother Zander — who salvage parts to build and repair spaceships.  They are joined in their adventures by their companion R0-GR, a salvaged Clone Wars era battle droid. When Rowan discovers he has a connection with the Force, the Freemakers become ensnared in the battle between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance.  Season 2 begins with the Freemakers being recruited by Admiral Ackbar (Return of the Jedi) and General Syndulla (Star Wars Rebels) for a special mission.



While waiting for episode one of LEGO Star Wars THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES to debut on Disney XD on Saturday, June 17, 2017 (11:00 am ET/PT) head over to the LEGO or Disney XD websites to watch all of Season 1's episodes for FREE.  While there you can also watch for FREE 5 new mini-episodes that are each five minutes long that bridge the gap between Season 1 & Season 2 of the THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES.  I'm not sure how long these will be available to view for free online so watch them while you can.

Season 2 of LEGO Star Wars THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES officially begins on Monday July 31, 2017 with new episodes airing Monday through Thursday at 7 am ET/PT until Wednesday August 16.  During 2016, THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES ranked as the Disney XD’s #2 animated series among Kids 2-11 and Boys 2-11 demographics, reaching over 55 million Total Viewers across the U.S., including over 21 million Kids 2-14 and more than 20 million Adults 18-49.  From looking at the preview trailer, the show only looks to get better this year!

LEGO has a nice track record of creating whimsical Star Wars themed television adventures for Cartoon Network (Yoda Chronicles) and the Disney Channel (Droid Tales) that our whole family is fond of.  So we were really excited to find out that the Disney XD cable network will be debuting a brand new LEGO Star Wars themed animated television series this summer.  Stay tuned for more info as the show gets closer to its premiere but for now here is the official announcement about "LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures" that A Geek Daddy received from Disney:

LEGO Star Wars: THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES IS COMING  TO DISNEY XD THIS SUMMER
"LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures" is an all-new animated television series scheduled to debut this summer on Disney XD in the U.S. The fun-filled adventure comedy series will introduce all-new heroes and villains in exciting adventures with many familiar Star Wars characters.

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."
