The LEGO Star Wars: The Resistance Rises animated television series aired on the Disney XD channel between mid-February and early May this year with five episodes. The series is now over, so I thought to post them here in case you missed out. The story of these episodes takes place prior to the First Order’s attack on Jakku in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens film, and tells never-before-told stories about Kylo Ren, Han Solo, Finn, Rey, BB-8, Maz Kanata and more. So grab your popcorn and enjoy the show! 🙂
I have included all five episodes of LEGO Star Wars: The Resistance Rises in the video-player below. You can watch them all in sequence, or select the episode you would like to see. I have also included the synopsis as well as the opening crawl of each episode for your reference.

LEGO videos are always enjoyable because of the great animation and funny humor. LEGO Star Wars: The Resistance Rises, is no exception. My only complaint is that the episodes were too short. But remember that LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures is coming soon! And in the meantime you can also check out the currently available LEGO Star Wars sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

These are great. Thanks for putting them in one place. As you said, I wish they were longer!
I’m sure that with the new movies and all LEGO will continue to create great series like this, so while this one is over, more will surely come. Look forward to the Freemaker Adventures coming soon! 🙂
I wish that they will make a set including that sweet transport freighter with those rathtars
That would be awesome! 😀
