"DARTH JAR JAR?!?!"

In this episode of The Holdo Maneuver, Mike and Marc channel their inner Force Builders to dive into the hilariously chaotic world of LEGO STAR WARS: REBUILD THE GALAXY!

Join us as we follow the journey of young nerf-herder Sig Greebling, who accidentally reshapes the entire galaxy after discovering the mysterious Cornerstone. With characters like Jedi Master Bobarian Afol ("Bob"), Darth Devastator, and even a talking Gonk droid named Servo, this story is as heartwarming as brick-busting fun.

We discuss the comedic brilliance of mixing classic Star Wars tropes with LEGO’s trademark irreverence—like Sith Lord Jar Jar, water-covered Tatooine, and a podracing Luke Skywalker.

Plus, we break down the galaxy-sized stakes, from Sig's family drama to epic battles involving rebel Ewoks, Sith uprisings, and an unexpected team-up between Leia, Greedo, and C-3PO!

Also Discussed: what we'd like to see in a second installment, how underrated the LEGO Star Wars specials are, and much, much more...

"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose."

We debunk the grifters Star Wars Theories and set the record straight before you go nerdrotic, diving deep into the decisions behind the canon reset, how the Lucasfilm Story Group ensures continuity, and why new additions to the saga respect the lore we've all come to love. Plus, we explore how Disney's creative choices are expanding the Star Wars universe in exciting ways while still paying homage to the original trilogy and Legends.

Whether you're a fan of THE ACOLYTE, the sequels, THE MANDALORIAN, or just curious about the state of Star Wars today, this episode is packed with insights and some laughs—because even in a galaxy far, far away, we all need a good dad joke now and then!
