The Star Wars galaxy just got a little more… LEGO. This fall, actor Dan Stevens officially joins the galaxy far, far away in the Disney+ animated special LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past. As excitement builds for the September 19 premiere, here are five key things you need to know about Stevens’ mysterious new role — and the world it’s set in.
1. Dan Stevens Plays Solitus — a Fallen Jedi With a Dark Past
Best known for his roles in Legion, Beauty and the Beast, and Downton Abbey, Dan Stevens is taking on the role of Solitus, a complex Jedi who turned away from the light. In the upcoming LEGO series, Solitus seeks access to Forcehold, a secret realm filled with forgotten relics from all across Star Wars history — setting the stage for a storyline rich in deep lore, hidden knowledge, and brick-built danger.
2. Solitus Debuts in LEGO Form — And Yes, There’s a Set
Alongside his on-screen debut, Solitus is being immortalized in minifigure form. The LEGO Star Wars: The Force Burner Snowspeeder set hits shelves on August 1, 2025, and includes:
• A flame-decorated double cockpit Snowspeeder
• Minifigures of Solitus, Darth Dev, and Sig Greebling
• Lightsabers, detachable speeder bike, and stud shooter accessories
Collectors, take note — this is the first time Solitus appears in LEGO form, making it a must-have for fans of the dark and mysterious corners of the galaxy.
3. He Joins a Fan-Favorite Cast
Stevens isn’t the only big name on the call sheet. The special brings back a wildly entertaining voice cast, including:
• Gaten Matarazzo as Sig Greebling
• Tony Revolori as Darth Dev
• Bobby Moynihan as Jedi Bob
• Ahmed Best as Darth Jar Jar (yes, really)
• Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker
Plus newcomers Ashley Eckstein as LEGO BrickHeadz™ Ahsoka Tano and Ben Schwartz as Jaxxon.
4. The Sequel Dives Deeper Into the LEGO Star Wars Multiverse
Pieces of the Past continues the irreverent tone and wild imagination of 2024’s LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy. With Solitus joining forces (or not?) with characters like Jedi Bob and Darth Dev, this new adventure promises a journey through the deepest corners of LEGO Star Wars lore — remixing familiar characters, forgotten timelines, and fan-favorite easter eggs in brick-busting style.
5. Set Your Hyperspace Calendar: September 19 on Disney+
Directed by Chris Buckley and executive produced by Detective Pikachu scribes Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, the four-part animated special lands exclusively on Disney+ on September 19, 2025. Expect action, heart, slapstick comedy — and maybe even a redemption arc for Solitus?
Final Thought: Dan Stevens, Force-Built for LEGO
With his voice-acting chops, emotional range, and gift for balancing drama with absurdity, Dan Stevens is the perfect addition to this LEGO-fied Star Wars multiverse. Whether Solitus stays fallen or finds his way back to the light, one thing’s for sure: this is one brick adventure you won’t want to miss.
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past premieres September 19 on Disney+, with new LEGO sets — including the Force Burner Snowspeeder — in stores August 1.
