The Cartoon Network may not have any Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes to air any more, but that doesn’t mean there is no Star Wars – the network will air episodes of the web series LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles starting next Wednesday, May 29th at 8/7c with a 30 minute premiere, “The Phantom Clone”. Two more episodes will air later this year.

To celebrate, LEGO took over Times Square and unveiled a life-sized X-Wing constructed from LEGO bricks – over 5 million of them. It took 32 master builders 17,000 hours to construct it, and they used the actual X-Wing kit blueprint to do it! The X-Wing will spend a couple days in Times Square, and then it will be relocated to LEGOLAND in California.

Deadline reports that David Slade, who directed The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, will direct the premiere episode of Ronald Moore’s Helix for Syfy, which has been teased in recent weeks on the channel.

Only two episodes left!

This has the potential to be interesting: A man (Keanu Reeves) aboard a “sleeper ship” – a spaceship full of colonists who are kept in suspended animation until arriving at their destination – wakes up due to a malfunction, 90 years to early. Facing the possibility of growing old and dying alone, he decides to wake up a woman (Reese Whitherspoon) to keep him company.
