The Star Wars Holiday: Looking At Life Day
Firstly, for fans of a certain age, Life Day in Star Wars congers up visions of Bea Arthur singing in a cantina.
However, a whole new cache of fans are about to earn their own entry into a wider galaxy of memories – we hope.
Thankfully, writer Amy Richau posted a breakdown of Star Wars happiest holiday over on Star Wars.com.
Just saw that my article about Life Day is up on the official site. Who is celebrating with me this year? How many Wookiee-ookiees will you eat? How ridiculous will the new LEGO special be??https://t.co/jScaYkflkH

Richau Explains Life Day
She wrote:
Life Day began as a Wookiee holiday centered around the Kashyyyk Tree of Life… Princess Leia Organa once spoke of Life Day as a reminder that we’re all in the same struggle against the powers of evil and darkness.
Family, joy, and harmony are all among the values and tenets of Wookiee culture that are embraced on Life Day. It’s a time to share the hopes of celebrating freedom and peace, no matter how different we may all appear…
Life Day became such a well-known holiday around the galaxy that everyone… [became] familiar with its focus on family togetherness.
Celebrating on Batuu?
And, perhaps, the coolest part of Richau’s piece revealed:
If you’ve had the chance to travel to the planet of Batuu, located at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort, on Life Day, don’t be surprised to spot visitors taking a moment to honor this special holiday in the streets of Black Spire Outpost with a song or two.
Um, Greg, brother — Blogfather. Please get to Batuu on November 17 and see if you can catch some Life Day carolers in Galaxy’s Edge. Please?
