The first episode of LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales aired just a few days ago. As you may remember from our previous discussions (see links at the end of this post), LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales is a new Disney XD animated show with five 22-minute episodes that re-tell the Star Wars saga in chronological order from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace up through Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The story is through the eyes of C-3PO and R2-D2, with the characteristic playful humor that we expect from LEGO Star Wars films. You can watch the full first episode below. 🙂
The first episode of LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales is titled “Exit from Endor”. It starts out like this: “It is a time of celebration throughout the Galaxy. After a long struggle for freedom, the Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Empire’s second Death Star, thus defeating Emperor Palpatine and restoring balance to the Force.” While C-3PO retells the story of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones with some funny twists, there is also a new story forming in the background with the appearance of a mysterious character who takes advantage of everybody being absorbed in listening to the epic saga…
That was a great episode, isn’t it? I particularly like the added LEGO humor. There is no word yet when future episodes will air, but you can be rest assured we will talk about it when the information becomes available. In the meantime you can also check out the currently available LEGO Star Wars sets at the Online LEGO Shop.
So what do you think? How did you like the first episode of LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales? And who do you think the mysterious figure is at the end? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

A few days ago we discussed a really awesome contest announced in the July-August issue of the LEGO Club Magazine (see link at the end of this post), and today I would like to bring your attention to another great contest announced in the same issue of the magazine, this time for LEGO Ninjago fans. Below is the official announcement and all the details you need to know to enter the contest. Good luck! 🙂
➡ LEGO NINJAGO CONTEST INTRODUCTION: In the July August issue of the LEGO Club Magazine there are a couple of pages dedicated to the new LEGO Ninjago Airjitzu flyers and how to use them. There is also a call-to-action to host your own Airjitzu tournament, competing against your friends. Some suggestions are given of the type of challenges you can try. (We have also discussed some ways to compete with the Airjitzu flyers in this article: LEGO Ninjago Airjitzu Flyers Available Now!). It is on this same page where the LEGO Ninjago contest is announced.
➡ LEGO NINJAGO CONTEST DETAILS:Enter for your chance to Win! Create the ultimate Airjitzu Tournament Trophy and you could win one of five #70735 LEGO Ninjago Ronin R.E.X. sets! Your tournament will need a trophy for the winner and we want you to create it! Build a prize worthy of the champion using your LEGO collection – the more awesome and imaginative the better. The five top models will win a #70735 LEGO Ninjago Ronin R.E.X. and the winners will be featured with their models in an upcoming Cool Creations section of the LEGO Club Magazine later in the year. So basically you just need to build a Ninjago-themed model that could work as a trophy for winners of an Airjitzu tournament. There are no other requirements, so you can build the trophy any way you like.
➡ HOW TO ENTER THE LEGO NINJAGO CONTEST: Build your Airjitzu Tournament Trophy using your LEGO pieces. Go to LEGO.com/club, click on “Parents” in the top menu, and open the “Forms” article. Ask a parent or guardian to print out, complete and sign the submission form, and then either scan or take a clear picture of the form. Email the form along with the photo of your model to USClubContests@LEGO.com with “Ninjago Trophy Challenge” in the subject line. All entries must be received by August 15, 2015. This contest is available for US residents only.
➡ LEGO NINJAGO CONTEST PRIZES: There will be five winners, each of them receiving a brand new #70735 LEGO Ninjago Ronin R.E.X. set. LEGO will keep in touch with the winners either by phone or email at the contact information you provide on your entry form. The new LEGO Ninjago sets will be available in August, and you can already browse them (along with the currently available sets) at the Online LEGO Shop.
This is a great opportunity for LEGO Ninjago fans to show off their building skills! And because there are so many ways you can build your Airjitzu Tournament Trophy and there are no restrictions, you can really let your creativity shine! So what do you think? Are you planning to enter the contest? Feel free to share in the comment section below! 😉
