"LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales"
An All-New Series of Event Specials, Acquired by Disney XD
----------------------------------------------------------
Re-telling of classic Star Wars adventures in LEGO brick
form will help fans of all ages "catch up" on the legend.

The LEGO Group, world renowned manufacturer of construction
toys, today announced that Disney XD has acquired LEGO Star
Wars: Droid Tales for airing later this year.

The animated content series consists of 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. Disney XD is also currently home
to the animated hit series Star Wars Rebels.

As its title suggests, Droid Tales is a re-telling of the
Star Wars universe through the eyes of C-3P0 and R2-D2.

Following their victory celebration in the Ewok village on
Endor, seen at the close of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,
C-3PO and R2-D2 have gathered to regale Luke, Leia, Han,
Chewbacca and the other Rebels with the tales of their
adventures that led to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom
Menace.

An accidental kidnapping occurs while the droids are
reminiscing and suddenly viewers are taken on a new
adventure that leads to encounters with familiar faces and
places that prompt the re-telling of the entire saga. The
series offers all of the playful humor that viewers expect
from LEGO Star Wars.

Information on airdates for each episode is not yet
available. Additional LEGO Star Wars activities to get the
family caught up will launch throughout the year.
