Dan Stevens is heading into the world of Lego Star Wars. According to Disney and Lucasfilm, the actor has been cast as the main villain in the upcoming animated sequel series, Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past, which will be streaming on Disney+.

In this new series, Stevens will voice Solitus, a former Jedi who has turned to the dark side. Solitus is on a mission to find Forcehold, a hidden realm full of old and forgotten parts of the galaxy. Once a Jedi, he now poses a serious threat to everyone.

The show is a follow-up to Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, which first came out in 2024. This new chapter brings back familiar faces while introducing fresh characters and dangers. The galaxy is in trouble again, and it’s up to a group of heroes to stop what’s coming. Sig Greebling and Darth Dev have to work together, combining their unusual powers, Force Building and Sith Breaking, to take on Solitus and the chaos he brings.

Alongside them are Jedi Bob, Yesi Scala, and Servo, who join in to explore the far corners of the Lego Star Wars universe in search of forgotten pieces of history.

The series will have four episodes and is set to launch on September 19 on Disney+. It’s being made through a collaboration between Lucasfilm, the Lego Group, and Atomic Cartoons.

Bobby Moynihan is voicing Jedi Bob again, with Marsai Martin as Yesi Scala, Michael Cusack as Servo, and Ahmed Best as Darth Jar Jar. Mark Hamill is also coming back for a special appearance as Luke Skywalker.

New cast members include Ashley Eckstein as Lego BrickHeadz Ahsoka Tano and Ben Schwartz as the rabbit-like character Jaxxon. Now, Dan Stevens joins the lineup as the powerful and dangerous Solitus.
