What is Lightyear about?
Long before a sentient replica ended-up with Woody and Bo Peep in Andy’s bedroom, the real Buzz Lightyear was Star Command’s greatest Space Ranger, battling the evil and despotic Emperor Zurg.
The standalone origin story has to be legendary enough to inspire one of the most must-have toys of the late 20th century, both in the real world and the Toy Story universe.
The synopsis on the Disney Plus website says: “”Lightyear” follows the legendary space ranger on an intergalactic adventure alongside ambitious recruits, Izzy, Mo and Darby, and his robot companion Sox. As this motley crew embark on their toughest mission yet, they must learn to work as a team to escape the evil Zurg and his dutiful robot army who are never far behind.”
This time Buzz will be voiced by Captain America himself, Chris Evans. That’s a departure from Tim Allen, the character’s voice actor throughout the Toy Story movie era.
