The second and final 2017 season of this children’s animated series follows the adventures of the Freemakers, three orphaned siblings and deep space scavengers who build and repair ships from salvaged parts, as they join the rebellion in the Star Wars universe. This season continues the race to find the powerful kyber crystals, which the Freemakers need to power a new ship and Darth Vader seeks for a new Death Star. Set during the time of Return of the Jedi, some scenes play out in the margins of major events from the movie, including the attack on the second Death Star and the planet of the Ewoks. The youngest Freemaker brother discovers that his connection to The Force gives him master builder skills, which means a lot of objects get taken apart and rebuilt on screen (in keeping with the LEGO toy franchise). Like all of the LEGO-themed animated shows, this one is heavy on comedy (although it is strange that a lot of underlings get ejected out of airlocks, dropped down airshafts, or blown through blast holes in slapstick scenes), along with lessons in teamwork and communication. Presenting all 12 episodes, originally produced for the Disney XD channel, extras include bonus shorts. A strong optional purchase. Aud: P. (S. Axmaker)
