Between Force Friday, BB-8 Sphero, Star Wars Disney Infinity 3.0 and Star Wars: The Force Awakens hitting theaters in less than 100 days, there is no shortage of Star Wars fun right now. But the month of September got even more exciting – especially for young Star Wars fans – with the release of two AWESOME animated Star Wars shows to BluRay/DVD (which Disney sent us for review)!!
Star Wars REBELS – Complete Season 1
My boys are OBSESSED with Star Wars Rebels! The show debuted last year and has been a huge hit! But, we don’t have cable so they don’t get to watch it as often as they’d like. Needless to say then, they were thrilled that the complete first season is now available on Blu-ray/DVD!
Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season One delivers all 15 action-packed episodes plus never-before-seen bonus material and cast/crew interviews revealing the magic behind the making of the hit series.
Bonus Features include:
Blu-ray:
- Rebels Infiltrates Star Wars Celebration (Exclusive to Blu-ray)
- Season One shorts: “The Machine in the Ghost,” “Art Attack,” “Entanglement,” “Property of Ezra Bridger”
- All DVD Bonus (see below)
DVD:
- Rebels Recon: 14 behind-the-scenes featurettes
- Star Wars Rebels – The Ultimate Guide
- Star Wars Rebels Season 2 – A Look Ahead
Star Wars REBELS Complete Season 1 released on September 1st. So, look for it in stores or purchase here on Amazon (affiliate). It’s perfect to buy to gear up for Season 2, which premieres on Disney XD in October!
LEGO® STAR WARS: The New Yoda Chronicles!
LEGO and Star Wars are undoubtedly the two most-favorite things at our house! So, what better than LEGO® STAR WARS on DVD?! This is a bit hit at our house! Here’s the synopsis:
Your favorite Star Wars heroes are back with four complete episodes (plus a bonus alternate ending!) that unleash the lighter side of the Force.
After headstrong Luke nearly delivers the good guys into Palpatine’s clutches, Master Yoda and the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi unearth the Holocrons – last remnants of the secrets of the Jedi – to further Luke’s training. But Darth Vader also seeks the Holocrons, and he’ll stop at nothing to get to them first! Meanwhile, courageous superclone Jek-14, a Force-sensitive clone, comes out of retirement to help bolster the Rebels. Share all the action-packed thrills of these interlocking, intergalactic adventures in LEGO® STAR WARS: The New Yoda Chronicles!
The bonus feature is an alternate ending and those are always fun. This one is called “Clash of the Skywalkers” and in it we see whether Luke will win against the Sith Lord or Vader will be victorious! You’ll have to get the DVD to find out! 😉
LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles released on September 15th. So, look for it in stores or purchase here on Amazon (affiliate). It’s perfect for your Star Wars AND LEGO fans!
Need even more Star Wars fun for the kids? How about doing some Star Wars REBELS activity sheets while you watch that and munch on some Yoda Rice Krispies Treats while you watch Yoda chronicles! 🙂
