About a month ago, with no explanation, The Walt Disney Company removed a popular Star Wars series, LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, from the Disney+ streaming platform.

Now, just as quickly as the series disappeared, it has mysteriously returned to the streaming service, again without any official announcement. One article noted:

On Wednesday morning [February 16, 2022], The Freemaker Adventures was added back to Disney+. The series is one of the first titles on the newly added column on the Disney+ home page, letting fans know that it is finally back. All 26 episodes of the series are back on Disney+, along with the five shorts that strangely never left in the first place.

The animated series debuted on Disney XD in 2016, four years after then-CEO Bob Iger brokered a deal for Disney to purchase Lucasfilm, Ltd. from Star Wars creator George Lucas. The show follows three siblings — Rowan, Kordi, and Zander — who salvage ship parts to sell from their headquarters, a space station called The Wheel.

The Freemaker Adventures is officially set during the original trilogy era, between the events of Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi (1983).

Now that The Book of Boba Fett has concluded — with the returns of not only series stars Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), but Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker (CGI Mark Hamill/Graham Hamilton), Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), and Grogu — Star Wars fans have little to do but wait for the next live-action series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to premiere in May 2022.

Catching up on animated series like The Freemaker Adventures, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Star Wars Rebels is a great way to pass the time while waiting on both the Kenobi series and other live-action shows like Diego Luna’s Andor, which is due to hit Disney+ later this year.

Fans can also, of course, look forward to the continued expansion of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni’s “Mando-Verse” with The Mandalorian Season 3 — rumored to drop in December 2022 — and Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka, which is reportedly set to serve as a Rebels sequel with the live-action introductions of Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu-Bordizzo), Ezra Bridger (Mena Massoud), and more.

You can currently stream the entirety of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures on Disney+ anytime.
