The LEGO game adaptation for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has a new trailer, featuring Rey, Finn, Han Solo… and comic relief Kylo Ren.
We don’t have to wait long for LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which hits stores on June 28.
To tide us over, a new trailer debuted at E3 2016 this week, showing off some amazing cutscenes likely to be in the game itself, chock full of the game series’ signature humor:
While Finn, Rey and BB-8 have some funny moments in there, one thing is clear: Kylo Ren is the star of the piece — though probably not quite in the way he’d have liked.
Going off the tantrum he threw in The Force Awakens movie, the LEGO team have clearly taken his bad temper (and bad luck) and run with it. Slapstick moments include getting hit in the head with a lightsaber, and being unable to turn his fancy red one on correctly.

The voice clips in the trailer sound like they’re lifted straight from the movie, but in fact, the original The Force Awakens cast actually did return for the game.
In their interview with game writer Graham Goring, The Hollywood Reporter lists Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Anthony Daniels, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie and Max von Sydow as all having recorded brand new bits of dialogue!
And John Boyega, who lent his voice to LEGO Finn, evidently had a blast when he did his bits back in February:

Even if you’re not into LEGO games, the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens game might still be worth playing if only to have some new pieces of backstory filled in.
Via THR, the game will take you through the following six pre-movie missions:
Rathtar Hunting – Follows Han Solo and Chewbacca’s voyage to capture the ravenous Rathtars.
Lor San Tekka’s Return – Uncovers secrets behind Lor San Tekka’s journey to the Jakku Village.
Poe to the Rescue – Details Poe Dameron’s daring rescue mission to save Admiral Ackbar.
Crimson Corsair – Explores how the notorious Outer Rim pirate, the Crimson Corsair, foiled the plans of the First Order.
Trouble Over Taul – Follows the events leading up to C-3PO’s acquisition of his new red arm.
Ottegan Assault – Reveals a puzzle piece to how the Resistance and the First Order find Lor San Tekka on Jakku.
This game is going to be fantastic, if for LEGO Poe’s backstory alone! Is it June 28 yet?
