Disney has already hinted that it's looking to expand on the Star Wars universe, possibly with Yoda. And that could start sooner than we expected with the launch of the The Yoda Chronicles, a new three-part cartoon series on The Cartoon Network airing in August, following a partnership deal with Lego and its Star Wars range of toys.According to the two - or should that be three - companies, Lego Star Wars returns in epic style with The Yoda Chronicles, a thrilling, funny and action-packed new Lego Star Wars story to be told in three animated TV specials.Set in the “Prequel” Star Wars timeline, The Yoda Chronicles stars, you guessed it, Yoda and a fresh class of Padawans.While that's exciting, it's not as exciting as a new Lego set to be introduced at the same time called Jek-14's Stealth Starfighter, a new spaceship with a handful of minifigs to accompany it.One of those minifig's is a new character called Jek-14, who can claim to be the first minifig with a see-through arm. Yep, that's right his arm is transparent - oh, and he has slicked black hair too.
We caught up with Jek-14 at the New York Toy Fair for a closer look, and it looks great. The new set, along with a bevy of other Star Wars Lego sets such as the Rancor pit that sits perfectly underneath the Jabba's Palace set released last year, and some other sets from the original Star Wars Universe will be out in August. parents can find all the advice they will need to keep their children safe online.

A bulk of his resume comes loaded with more than 100 episodes of “The Simpsons,” a show that continues to tap him to write and co-executive produce. But he’s currently taking a vacation from Springfield to that galaxy far, far away. “LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles - The Phantom Clone,” the third TV special of its kind, premieres tonight on Cartoon Network. These animated spoofs of the "Star Wars" universe features LEGO-style characters getting cheeky, and it all comes to life courtesy of Price’s pen.
While in New York for the recent unveiling of a life-size replica of an X-Wing Fighter built entirely out of LEGOs, Price talked about what it’s like putting jokes in the mouths of Jedis. MTV Geek: I can only imagine it must be a blast to be able to put your own spin on the "Star Wars" universe and mess around with it. Michael Price: It is an absolute joy and a thrill. I feel extremely fortunate and lucky to not only work in the "Star Wars" world, but to be able to work with it in another way, because it’s LEGO, because it’s an animation. It doesn’t follow any canon or continuity. We can sort of toss things in and out, and have fun with it. It’s just the best of both worlds, because I get to work with these incredible characters and incredible people. Anthony Daniels voices C-3PO in all of the shows. In one of our earlier shows we had some of the original people who played roles [in "Star Wars" films]. It’s kind of like we are all kids playing with our LEGO toys on the living room carpet and just making up scenarios that would be fun to see.
What if Yoda met the Ewoks? And we just have a great time with it. So it’s a huge thrill and a huge honor. I never dreamed of anything like this when I saw the movies all of those years ago. I couldn’t imagine that all these years later it would be this huge thing and that I would have anything to do with it. Geek: Which character is the most fun to play with? Price: We had a lot of fun with Darth Vader in the last show, “The Empire Strikes Out.” Yoda is a constant. I guess Yoda would have to be my favorite, because he was the star of the first one that I wrote, “The Padawan Menace,” and he’s the star of our new shows, “The Yoda Chronicles.” And he’s just a great, great character, because he’s 800 years old, he’s the greatest Jedi master of all time. But he has his flaws, he likes to have a little bit of fun. As a comedy writer, the way he talks is kind of comedy gold. I can’t resist the temptation of falling back on an easy joke and having him say something screwy in a backwards way.
He’s so fun to work with, and we’ve had a lot of fun with him in these new shows, because these are set back in the prequel era Clone Wars times. He’s not just the old sage giving advice, he’s a full-on Jedi. So he has a lot of action in this; At one point he has a blaster, and he’s shooting it. And he sort of has a big action hero moment when he says, “Blaster fire, eat” to someone. So it’s always fun to have a good time with Yoda. And he’s voiced by Tom Kane, who’s the only Yoda beside Frank Oz. He did a fantastic job. Geek: It’s so cool Lucasfilm has gotten to the point where they continually allow so many different officially endorsed parodies. Price: For my very first meeting on this project, they flew me out to the Presidio where their main Lucasfilm headquarters are out in San Francisco. I had a great meeting with the producer from LEGO and a great guy named Howard Roffman, who is the head of Lucas licensing. LEGO had already established a sort of whimsical attitude toward Star Wars through the video games and the mini movies.
