Well, 20 June in America ... it's anyone's guess when the hopeless
fools at Sky TV's Disney XD channel in Australia / New Zealand will
bother to get it and what idiotic timeslot they put it in. :-(
'LEGO STAR WARS: THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES'
PREMIERES MONDAY, JUNE 20 ON DISNEY XD
------------------------------------------
Introducing new heroes and villains to the LEGO Star Wars
universe, the animated television series "LEGO Star Wars:
The Freemaker Adventures" will premiere MONDAY, JUNE 20
(10:00 a.m. EDT), on Disney XD. Set between the events of
"The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi," the
action comedy series follows the Freemakers, a family of
sibling scavengers who operate a salvage and repair shop
in space. The series will also feature familiar characters
and locations from the filmed Star Wars saga.
During the series' premiere week, Disney XD will debut a
new episode each day, beginning Monday, June 20 through
Thursday, June 23. The first episode will also be
available via Video on Demand (VOD) and the Disney XD app
for users on tablets, phones, set top boxes and computers
on Monday, June 20.
The series stars three Freemaker siblings who scour the
galaxy for useful debris that they use to build new
vehicles of their own design. Rowan, the spunky
Force-sensitive 12-year-old with a thirst for adventure,
is voiced by newcomer Nicolas Cantu. His quick-witted
older sister, Kordi, voiced by Vanessa Lengies ("Glee"),
manages the family business and is the glue that holds
the family together. Ace pilot and charming rogue Zander,
voiced by Eugene Byrd ("Arrow"), is the oldest brother
and the family's self-proclaimed starship connoisseur.
Lucasfilm's Matthew Wood voices R0-GR, also known as
Roger, a refurbished battle droid from the Clone Wars
adopted by the Freemaker family.
The humorous and action-packed tale of good versus evil
begins when Rowan discovers the Kyber Saber, an ancient
artifact with a powerful connection to the Force. Their
world is turned upside down as they are thrown into an
epic struggle against the Empire to restore peace and
freedom to the galaxy. Throughout their adventures, the
Freemakers learn the true value of what it means to be a
family.
"LEGO(R) Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures" is a
production of Wil Film, the LEGO Group and Lucasfilm and
is the first television series created in partnership
with the LEGO Group, Disney and Lucasfilm. Developed for
television by executive producers Bill Motz and Bob Roth
("Penguins of Madagascar"), Torsten Jacobson ("LEGO Star
Wars: Droid Tales") and Jill Wilfert ("The LEGOTM Movie")
also serve as executive producers, alongside producers
Carrie Beck ("Star Wars Rebels"), Jason Cosler ("LEGO
Marvel Super Heroes: Avengers Reassembled!"), Jake Blais
and John McCormack.
