LEGO Star Wars TV Special Revealed

LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace has been revealed to air on US television channel Cartoon Network later this month. A one-off special, the episode will encompass characters, locations and events from across all six films of the iconic science-fiction saga, with writer Michael Price (The Simpsons) and animation studio Animal Logic (Happy Feet) helping to provide a memorable blocky spin on the famous story of the Skywalker family. Although don't expect to see too much of the aforementioned conflicted family in the special...here's the synopsis: "A routine Jedi Academy field trip is turned into a rip-roaring comic adventure in LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace. Tour guide Master Yoda leads a group of rambunctious Jedi younglings through Senate Chambers when he senses a disturbance in the Force. Summoned to help save the Republic, he discovers that one of the younglings secretly boarded his ship...and has a taste for adventure! Meanwhile, C-3PO and R2-D2 are put in charge of the boisterous group and find themselves in over their heads. As the evil Sith prepare to wreak havoc, it's up to Yoda and the droids to ensure their young charges aren't torn to bricks!" We'll probably see the show appear on our Cartoon Network later this year, but for now The Padawan Menace is set to air in the US on July 23rd.
