Seasons Greetings, Star Wars fans! Disney+ is gathering some of the brightest stars in the Star Wars galaxy for a holiday special that's out of this world, the LEGO STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL. The House of Mouse today debuted the first look at key art for the upcoming build-a-brick event, set to premiere on Tuesday, November 17.

Reprising their iconic roles in the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special is Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), as well as Star Wars: The Clone Wars vets Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker), Tom Kane (Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn), James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), and Dee Bradley Baker (clone troopers).

Here's the official synopsis, per Disney:

“The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special” reunites Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, Rose and the droids for a joyous feast on Life Day. Rey sets off on a new adventure with BB-8 to gain a deeper knowledge of the Force. At a mysterious Jedi Temple, she is hurled into a cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments in Star Wars cinematic history, coming into contact with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan and other iconic heroes and villains from all nine Skywalker saga films. But will she make it back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of holiday spirit?

Directed by David Shayne, who is also co-executive producing, LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special is a production of Atomic Cartoons, the LEGO Group, and Lucasfilm. James Waugh, Josh Rimes, Jason Cosler, Jacqui Lopez, Jill Wilfert, and Keith Malone also act as executive producers.

You can check out the new art for the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special below, which includes a fun nod to the moment when Luke Skywalker lost his hand at the wrath of his father, Darth Vader.
