English actor Dan Stevens has joined the upcoming CG-animated sequel series LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past as Solitus, a fallen Jedi who sought out access to Forcehold — a secret realm full of discarded pieces of the past. Stevens rose to international fame as a star of ITV’s period drama Downton Abbey, and is familiar to animation fans as the new voice of Korvo in Solar Opposites. A new poster featuring Solitus was revealed along with the casting news.
The new series premieres on Disney+ on September 19.
In the LEGO Star Wars animated sequel series, which is a continuation of the story that began in 2024 with Rebuild the Galaxy, a new threat rises in the galaxy, and Sig Greebling and Darth Dev must combine their powers of Force Building and Sith Breaking to stop it. Alongside Jedi Bob, Yesi Scala, and Servo, they will journey into the deepest corners of LEGO Star Wars lore, uncovering pieces of all the galaxies that have come before.
Returning voice cast includes Gaten Matarazzo as Sig Greebling, Tony Revolori as Darth Dev, Bobby Moynihan as Jedi Bob, Marsai Martin as Yesi Scala, Michael Cusack as Servo, Ahmed Best as Darth Jar Jar, and a special guest appearance by Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. The four-piece sequel series welcomes Stevens as Solitus, Ashley Eckstein as LEGO BrickHeadz Ahsoka Tano and Ben Schwartz as Jaxxon.
Stevens’ other animation credits include The Prince, recurring roles on Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Central Park and SuperMansion, as well as multiple gigs on the anthology series Love, Death + Robots. He also provided English dub voiceover for Parakeet in Hayao Miyazaki’s Oscar winner The Boy and the Heron and Thomas in another Studio Ghibli dub, Earwig and the Witch. For Disney, he portrayed Beast in the 2017 live-action Beauty and the Beast remake.
