* KickTheSonOfABitch: Rowan's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of [[spoiler:Naare]] has been a long time in coming, given she [[spoiler:used him and his family to find the Kyber Saber, chased them from their home, beheaded Roger, and tried to kill him.]]

''LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures'' is an LEGO ''Franchise/StarWars'' animated series on Disney XD, set between ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' and ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', focusing on a brand new cast of characters.

''LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures'' is an animated series on Disney XD, set between ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' and ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', focusing on a brand new cast of characters.

Unlike most LEGO Star Wars works, the series has been described as "canon paraphrase" rather than outright non-canon -- essentially, [[BroadStrokes the concepts, characters, and general flow of events are canon, but the details are not]]; the showrunners liken it to a child re-enacting the story with their toys.

!! LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures contains examples of:
* AdaptationalComicRelief: The Emperor and Darth Vader are nowhere near as serious as they are in the movies, with The Emperor in particular coming off as very energetic.

* BaitAndSwitch: The penultimate episode of season 2 makes it seem that M-0C is going to pull a HeelFaceTurn. However, he instead [[spoiler: realises the FatalFlaw in the Death Star’s reactor being exposed, and goes to rectify this problem.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: The Freemakers go from a barely-surviving, pragmatic family of mechanics to true heroes, as shown when Kordi tells Rowan that [[spoiler:surrendering the last crystal to Naare might mean they have a chance of going home, but with the Kyber Sabre Crystal assembled ''no one's'' home will be safe from the Empire.]]

** When Becky kisses Zander the scene cuts to Kordi and Rowan with the first covering the latter's eyes and the end when Becky and Zander reunite some characters walk in front of them, blocking them from view right before they kiss.

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the main Star Wars universe, the violence is bloodless and cartoony and the heroes usually win. Granted, it's Lego Star Wars, but it's nowhere near the DenserAndWackier approach of similar entries in the franchise.

** The basic plot of a Force-sensitive youth being enlisted by a mysterious woman to find a Force artifact dates all the way back to Literature/SplinterOfTheMindsEye

* LukeNounverber: In the grand Star Wars tradition.

** This isn't [[VideoGame/XWingAlliance the first Star Wars work]] to focus on a trio of siblings and their quirky droid, operating a business out of a space station, and getting caught up in the galactic conflict between Episodes V and VI. For bonus points, both families [[spoiler: end up working for the Rebellion]].

** The Freemakers operate their salvage business out of [[ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977 The Wheel]].

** This also isn't the first Star Wars work to have a scene where [[Ride/StarTours a character crash lands their ship into a port while panicking and shouting, "Brakes! Where are the brakes?!"]]

** In-universe, the Naboo Starfighter, such that Zander [[spoiler: (and Darth Vader)]] literally cannot resist the urge to take a joyride.

* MythologyGag: By the Emperor's black bones, where to even begin?!

** M.O.C.'s ship looks an awful lot like the [[VideoGame/RebelAssault TIE Phantom]].
*** For that matter, the StarScavenger bears a slight resemblance to the [[VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic Defender-class corvette]].

[[caption-width-right:350:[[{{Tagline}} Their mission didn't come with instructions.]]]]

* AdultFear:
** The idea that a so-called mentor is [[spoiler:using you for selfish purposes, the way Naare is using Rowan]].
** When Rowan decides to [[spoiler:go into hiding with the last Kyber Saber Crystal]] so that his family can go home, Kordi and Zander are worried sick about him when they can't communicate or even know if he's okay.

* SuperGullible: M-OC is tricked by a bold-faced lie from Vader at one point.

* ItsPersonal: For manipulating her brother, chasing her family from home and turning them into fugitives, Kordi takes great pleasure in [[spoiler:shooting Naare down on Hoth using a Stormwalker blaster.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: All of the Freemakers, as shown when they make a LastStand on Hoth: Rowan [[spoiler:reassembles a Stormwalker using the Force, which wipes out all of the arriving enemy ships, including Naare's, and Kordi and Zander rebuild a fighter ship. Even Naare admits that she is impressed by Rowan's increasing strength.]]

* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:Naare]] smiles when she sees that Rowan on Hoth [[spoiler:has assembled a Stormwalker using the Force and remarks on his improvement.]]

The series has been described as "canon paraphrase," meaning [[BroadStrokes while the basic events covered are canon, the specifics are not]], like a child is acting out the events with their toys.

** The Freemakers operate their salvage business out of [[ComicBook/MarvelStarWars The Wheel]].

* TooSoon: InUniverse. Making a LightbulbJoke about [[EarthShatteringKaboom Alderaan]] within earshot of [[DoomedHometown Leia]] gets [[UpperClassTwit Cooper]] punched through a wall.

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: [[spoiler:Naare is evil.]]

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, the Emperor is [[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader still]] giving Vader crap for [[Film/ANewHope letting the Death Star be destroyed]].

** Kordi refers to the family's kitbashed ships as [[ComicBook/XWingSeries "uglies"]], though Zander takes umbrage at the name.

* TookALevelInBadass: All of the Freemakers, as shown when they make TheLastStand on Hoth: Rowan [[spoiler:reassembles a Stormwalker using the Force, which wipes out all of the arriving enemy ships, including Naare's, and Kordi and Zander rebuild a fighter ship. Even Naare admits that she is impressed by Rowan's increasing strength.]]

* UptownGirl: She lived in the Upper Ring of The Wheel.

* DeusExMachina: Exaggerated: The Freemakers are captured on the Death Star II, thrown into a cell, and the priceless Kyber Saber handed to an Imperial Guard to bring to the Emperor. But that's no ordinary guard: it's Zander's long-time crush, the oft-mentioned but never seen Becky Smoochenbacher. Did you know she had become an Imperial Guard? Did you know she had a crush on Zander too? [[DefectingForLove Ain't Love Grand?]]

* TheBigDamnKiss: Zander and Becky kiss once she is done professing her love for him.
