LEGO announced during Comic-Con that they are bringing LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace - their first-ever original television special that premiered on Cartoon Network July 22nd - to Blu-ray Disc and DVD. Launching on September 16, the 22-minute original standalone special will feature five LEGO Star Wars shorts, as well as an exclusive, collectible minifigure of a young Han Solo.

LEGO gave us a special advance screening of the movie at Comic-Con and it was a riot! Those that love the LEGO Star Wars video games will immediately enjoy it, despite the fact that the characters speak in the movie. It's an initial shock, but you'll quickly warm up to their hilarious dialogue.

• Hunt for R2D2

A routine Jedi Academy field trip is turned into a rip-roaring comic adventure in LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace. Tour guide Master Yoda leads a group of rambunctious Jedi Younglings through Senate chambers when he senses a disturbance in the Force. Summoned to help save the Republic, he discovers that one of the Younglings secretly boarded his ship…and has a taste for adventure! Meanwhile, C-3PO and R2-D2 are put in charge of the boisterous group and find themselves in over their heads. As the evil Sith prepare to wreak havoc, it’s up to Yoda and the Droids to ensure that their young charges aren’t torn to bricks!
