Shop Disney Celebrates Star Wars Life Day with New Collectibles

Published Tue, 08 Nov 2022 10:22:09 -0600

November 17, 1978, was a big day for Star Wars fans as it introduced them to the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. This special was a unique and odd television variety show that played one week before Thanksgiving in the US that year. While it has nearly been forgotten, some pieces of the special have exceeded popularity, like Boba Fett and Chewbacca's homeward. The Holiday Special did introduce Star Wars fans to the celebration of the Wookie Holiday of Life Day. In the special, Han Solo joined Chewbacca on Kashyyyk to help celebrate Life Day with his family, which is a holiday very similar to our holiday.

Disney is keeping the tradition of Life Day alive with some brand new collectibles for your collection. Life Dat is a wookiee tradition that was created after the Dark Times and the rise of the Empire. It is here to celebrate family, joy, and harmony and is usually held at the Tree of Life on Kashyyyk. Since then, the holiday has reached a new place across the star, and you can celebrate it too with your own robes, Life Day Orbs, mugs, and even a Chewbacca plush. Some of these new Disney goodies can be viewed below, and more can be seen and purchased right here.
