"But fans will want to put the bricks down on Saturday night when Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles premieres the first of four new animated episodes, Escape from the Jedi Temple, on Disney Channel (9 p.m. ET/PT). It also airs Sunday night (7 ET/PT) — Star Wars Day — on Disney XD when folks can also see the new trailer for the animated Star Wars Rebels." -

LEGO Star Wars returns in epic style with The Yoda Chronicles, an exciting, funny and action-packed new LEGO Star Wars story told in three animated TV specials. "The Phantom Clone" will premiere on Wednesday, May 29 at 8:00 p.m. (ET, PT) on Cartoon Network with specials two and three airing later this year. In the first of three specials, a brand new character, Jek 14 will enter the Star Wars universe. Created by the LEGO Group, Jek 14 is a clone who has been "enhanced" by the Force.
Set in the prequel Star Wars era, The Yoda Chronicles features the one and only Yoda -- the Jedi Master who has taught generations of Jedi Knights. With help from a fresh class of Padawans, Yoda leads the Jedi in a desperate fight to stop Darth Sidious and his minions from creating a new super-weapon that could crush the Republic and win the war for the forces of evil.
The Yoda Chronicles is written by Michael Price (The Simpsons) and produced by Wil Film. This special marks the first time entirely new Star Wars characters and vehicles have been created specifically for LEGO Star Wars. Building-sets related to The Yoda Chronicles and featuring Jek 14 will be available in August.
