By Elaine Tveit
E3 premiered a new trailer for LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which will hit store shelves June 28th.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens was already fun, so imagine what shenanigans and hilarious antics LEGOs could contribute. Or don’t imagine, just watch the new trailer from E3 below.
It feels like we’ve been talking about LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens forever, but the wait for it to become available for purchase is almost over. If you just can’t wait, though, check out our character spotlights for: Finn, Poe Dameron, and BB-8; all, of course, in LEGO form.

There’s a lot of cool stuff to look forward to in LEGO’s new Star Wars game. As you can tell from the trailer, all the lines of dialogue are from the original actors and actresses from the film. Additionally, because the game is coming so late after the premiere of the film itself in December 2015, previously “spoilery” material can be integrated into gameplay with no holds barred. Finally, it’s hilarious seeing Kylo Ren as the Darth Vader fanboy he really is, exaggerated to level 10 (see our header image). Those kinds of humorous pokes at the original material is part of what makes LEGO games so much fun.
Fortunately, the fun won’t stop with The Force Awakens. LEGO is rumored to have a Rogue One game in development, and this fall, we should also start seeing Rogue One LEGO sets in stores. Meanwhile, later this month, the company has a Star Wars television show called The Freemaker Adventures premiering on Disney XD. Check out the trailer for that here.
