Cameron Monaghan is picking up his lightsaber once again—this time, in brick form. The actor, best known for bringing Jedi Knight Cal Kestis to life in the Star Wars Jedi video games, will reprise the role in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past, arriving on Disney+ September 19, 2025.
It’s a rare treat when a beloved video game character jumps mediums without losing the original voice behind them. Monaghan’s return not only keeps the continuity fans crave but also promises plenty of wry humor and heartfelt moments—yes, even in LEGO form.
Cal Kestis Steps Into the LEGO Multiverse
If you thought the galaxy couldn’t get any more chaotic, think again. Pieces of the Past throws Cal into a mashed-up Star Wars universe where Jedi and Sith identities get scrambled like sabacc cards in a high-stakes casino on Canto Bight. The show’s premise sees characters from across the Star Wars timeline colliding in ways that make both lore purists and meme-makers lose their minds.
In this setting, Cal could bump elbows with a Jedi Darth Vader, dodge the schemes of Darth Jar Jar, or even find himself squaring off in an epic LEGO duel that plays out more like a podracing betting slip gone wrong. And knowing LEGO Star Wars’ comedic streak, don’t be surprised if there’s a tongue-in-cheek nod to esports or the thrill of high-risk gambles.
Why This Casting Matters
Cal Kestis isn’t just another Jedi in the crowd—he’s one of the few Star Wars video game characters to carve out a lasting legacy across media. Monaghan’s portrayal has always balanced grit and vulnerability, making Cal feel like the kind of character you’d actually want watching your back in a Mos Eisley cantina brawl.
Keeping Monaghan in the role does more than protect continuity—it preserves the emotional weight of Cal’s story, something that could easily get lost in a comedic LEGO setting. And in a show where Darth Rey, Pirate Queen Amidala, and the infamous Jaxxon the space rabbit are all confirmed, Cal’s steady moral compass might just keep the chaos from tipping into total galactic bedlam.
What Else We Know About Pieces of the Past
The second season of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is upping the ante with a star-studded voice cast and wild new mash-ups. Confirmed newcomers include:
- Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano
- Dan Stevens as Solitus
- Jennifer Hale as Viper
- Ben Schwartz as Jaxxon T. Tumperakki
- Catherine Taber as Pirate Queen Amidala
- Alan Tudyk as K-2SO
They’ll join returning favorites like Anthony Daniels’ C-3PO, Sam Witwer’s Maul, and Ahmed Best’s Darth Jar Jar. The series leans into its signature “what if?” style storytelling, letting fans see familiar characters in wildly unfamiliar roles.
Potential for Cross-Media Easter Eggs
Given Cal’s deep roots in the Star Wars Jedi games, the door is wide open for sly references to Zeffo ruins, BD-1’s quirks, and even in-universe gambling dens like Haxion Brood fight pits. It wouldn’t be surprising to see LEGO Cal making meta-jokes about wall-running mechanics or Force puzzles—just the kind of fan service that works in a comedy-driven series.
The mash-up setting also offers fertile ground for esports-like competitions between Jedi and Sith, or satirical takes on how the galaxy handles high-stakes betting on podraces, swoop bike runs, or droid battles.
Why Fans Should Keep an Eye on This
The LEGO Star Wars brand has always thrived by combining deep-cut lore with absurd, slapstick humor, and Pieces of the Past looks to be no exception. With Cameron Monaghan returning as Cal Kestis, it ensures one of the saga’s most compelling modern heroes gets the respect—and playful jabs—he deserves.
Whether you’re in it for the nostalgia, the comedy, or the thrill of seeing Cal brick-bash his way through a galactic mash-up, September 19 can’t come soon enough.
