Daily Video Clip

Today's new video clip is the Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles "Clash of the Skywalkers" Sneak Peek. You won't see him on Dancing With the Stars anytime soon, so if you want to see Darth Vader bust a move, you'll have to watch Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles. In this exclusive clip, you'll not only get to see the Sith Lord lead a conga line of stormtroopers, you'll also see what Vader's hissy fit — sorry, Sithy fit — looks like.

"Clash of the Skywalkers" is the last of a four-part series. Disney XD will be re-airing the previous episodes ("Escape from the Jedi Temple," "Race for the Holocrons," and "Raid on Coruscant") ahead of the premiere, but here's the short version:

Yoda and the ghost of Obi-Wan decide Luke needs more training because — surprise — he's being immature. They send him to dig up Jedi holocrons (holographic instruction manuals) on Tatooine. Vader gets to them first, and he and the emperor use the information to attack rebel-friendly planets.

Luke is forced to destroy the holocrons rather than let the Empire continue using them. But R2-D2 manages to save one — which happens to feature young Vader himself, Anakin Skywalker.

It's Skywalker vs. Skywalker in a big Lego finale — who's got the bricks to come out on top?

The Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles special "Clash of the Skywalkers" airs Sunday at noon on Disney XD. Enjoy!
