The official full trailer for the newest Star Wars animated adventure from Disney XD — LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures — has been released…

With Star Wars Rebels in the middle of its offseason, and with Rogue One just six months away, LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures could be the perfect fun way to get that Star Wars fix.
As you can see, there are loads of familiar Star Wars characters in the trailer: Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader prominent among them.

The synopsis for the show is as follows:
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 (Diggle’s brother on 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.
