LEGO goes rogue!

Star Wars: Episode VIII may be only a couple years away, but we all know that isn't stopping Disney from making sure we continually get our fill of tasty intergalacticiousness (NOTE: this may not be a real word).

It's coming out December 16th this year.

Disney also released a picture of the cast of the film just a few days ago. This is it below, see?
