CARTOON NETWORK ANNOUNCES LEGO ‘STAR WARS’ SPECIAL

Posted on by

Continuing in the vein of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu, Cartoon Network is keeping with the trend of airing action-comedy programs brought to you by Lego. Case in point, there is a new Lego Star Wars special set to premier next Wednesday @ 8pm EST called  Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out. I guess it makes sense to do this now so as to make way for Star Wars: Detours set to debut sometime next year probably on Cartoon Network. Check out the deets after the jump.

In LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out, premiering Wednesday, September 26 at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT), a new Imperial threat has been detected and the good guys have to nip it in the bud.  But Jedi-in-training Luke discovers that instant fame as a “Death-Star-Blower-Upper” can be a double-edged lightsaber, as his secret mission to Naboo is thwarted by those most unstoppable of foes –crazed fans!!  Meanwhile, Darth Vader sees his day go from bad to worse when his relationship with the Emperor is imperiled by the unexpected arrival of Darth Maul.  Luke and Vader’s quests to prove themselves lead them on a collision course with each other (literally) and their destiny. Tune in for the action, suspense and comedy on September 26 at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Cartoon Network.

The first 30-minute LEGO Star Wars special, LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace which aired on Cartoon Network last summer, was a major fan favorite ranking as the #1 telecast of the week on all TV with boys 6-11, in addition to #1 for the day with all key boy demos.
