Storyline

This LEGO adventure retells the story of the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a playful, brick-built style. Set roughly thirty years after the fall of the Empire, it follows a scavenger named Rey and a runaway trooper named Finn, who become caught up in the fight between the Resistance and the sinister First Order. Their paths cross with familiar heroes as they help protect a small droid carrying information vital to both sides. A prologue also recreates the earlier Battle of Endor, bridging the gap to the main story.
