You might remember LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures television series that aired on Disney XD this summer. It is a fun expansion of the Star Wars saga with LEGO’s characteristic humor and excellent storytelling. The entire series with all thirteen episodes is now available on DVD and Blu-ray. 🙂
In case you are not familiar with LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, the story begins after the events of “The Empire Strikes Back” and before “Return of The Jedi” and follows a family of scavengers who build and sell starships from battle debris strewn throughout the galaxy. When their youngest discovers a natural connection with the Force through an ancient artifact – the Kyber Saber – his world is turned upside down, and he and his family are thrown into an epic struggle against the Empire to restore peace and freedom to the galaxy. The Freemakers explore new worlds, meet new and familiar characters and learn the meaning of family. Trailer below.
The DVD/Blu-ray release includes all 13 action-packed episodes, for 199 minutes of great entertainment. It is also worth noting that the box mentions that this is Season One, which seems to indicate that the LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures will continue in the future, which is excellent news! Both versions also includes some extra collections of clips, behind-the-scenes footage and cast interviews, which is always interesting.
The regular price for the collection on DVD is $39.00, currently available on Amazon for $22.99. The regular price for the Blu-ray version is $42.99, currently available on Amazon for $27.99. Below are the links where you can get them. (Please note that prices on Amazon fluctuate frequently, so they may be more or less by the time you read this.)

Exclusive magnets seem a bit more boring than exclusive minifigs, alas…
On the other hand, then I don’t have to bother about collecting them…
That’s true. Also books and DVDs with minifigs are more prone to getting tampered with.
You can find the episodes [for free] on YouTube, you know.
Yes, of course, and we have shared them here as well. But owning the DVD is nice too. 🙂
