Outline

LEGO Star Wars returns in epic style with The Yoda Chronicles, a thrilling, funny and action-packed new LEGO Star Wars story told in three animated TV specials! Set in the “Prequel” Star Wars timeline, The Yoda Chronicles stars the one and only Yoda – the Jedi Master who has seen it all, done it all, and taught generations of Jedi Knights – in an all-new adventure. With the help of 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.

Production

The first three episodes were released on Cartoon Network between 29 May and 27 November 2013. The remaining four episodes were released on Disney XD under the title The New Yoda Chronicles without the LEGO logo between 04 May and 23 November 2014 since Cartoon Network owned the broadcasting rights to the name LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles.

The first two episodes were released on DVD on 11 September 2013, and the final four were released on DVD on 15 September 2015. Several mini-movies have been released which tie into the series proper: episodes 4-6 tie into “Escape from the Jedi Temple”. The third episode “Attack of the Jedi” still misses a DVD release as of January 2016.

The first three Mini-Movie episodes were released with the first three episodes. The later eight Mini-Movie videos tie into the later four episodes.

The New Yoda Chronicles episodes are available on the Disney+ streaming service, which launched on 12 November 2019. Disney+ also has an alternative version of “Clash of the Skywalkers” titled “Duel of the Skywalkers” with a different ending.
