LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, on Disney+
Atomic Cartoons; Disney Wiki; IMDb; Lucasfilm; On Disney+; TV Tropes; Wikipedia; Wookieepedia

A nerf herder named Sig Greebling (voiced by Gaten Matarazzo) lives on planet Fennesa with his older brother, Dev (Tony Revolori), and a Gonk droid named Servo. Dev wants to travel the Galaxy and have adventures, along with his friend Yesi Scala (Marsai Martin), but Sig just wants to tell stories about the adventures of others. (He knows everything that happened in all of the Star Wars movies.) However, Sig has been hiding the fact that he has Force powers. One day, the brothers discover a hidden Jedi temple, and while exploring it find an artifact called the Cornerstone. Sig uses his powers to remove the Cornerstone from the wall it's built into, and after he does so, the entire galaxy changes. In the new galaxy, the Empire is in control, Dev is a Sith Lord named Darth Devastator, Yesi is a member of the Rebellion, and neither of them remember Sig. It turns out that most of the people Sig knew as heroes from the stories have now become villains, and vice versa. Sig and Yesi are rescued from Darth Dev by a Jedi master named Bobarian Afol, who really doesn't like the fact that Sig starts calling him "Jedi Bob". Bob reveals that he and Sig are both Force builders (a power that reminds me of The LEGO Movie). Well, throughout the four episodes, Sig and his friends meet lots of other heroes and villains, and battle Dev for control of the Cornerstone, which Dev wants to use to rebuild the Galaxy to his own liking.

I don't want to spoil any more details of the plot, but I will say the finale sets up a possible second season. For now I'm calling this a miniseries, but that will change if another season ever gets made. It's a fairly amusing series, which pokes fun at various aspects the franchise in a lighthearted way that fans are sure to appreciate. There really are any number of clever gags throughout the series. And I don't know what else to tell you.
