New Star Wars Life Day Merchandise Arrives at Disney World
While The Star Wars Holiday Special has become one of the most infamous moments not only in the Star Wars canon but in the history of television as a whole, it also introduced concepts to a galaxy far, far, away that have stuck around for years.
The Star Wars Holiday Special not only familarized audiences to Boba Fett for the first time, but it also introduced the concept of Life Day into Star Wars lore.
For those who don’t know, Life Day is a holiday celebrated by the Wookiees on Kashyyyk in the Holiday Special. In the special, Han Solo and Chewbacca return to the Wookiee home planet to celebrate the holiday with Chewie’s family.
While Life Day originated on Kashyyyk, through the Wookiees, the holiday has spread throughout the galaxy. At one point, Chewbacca even celebrated the holiday on Batuu (aka Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge).
