In the lore of the galaxy far, far away, there is a holiday called the Life Day which is the equivalent of Thanksgiving in Star Wars. While this holiday is celebrated during November, the Christmas season is in full force once December comes up and Star Wars is not letting this one pass without doing anything. To get the fans hyped up with the spirit of Christmas, LEGO Star Wars unveils three all-new shorts with the beloved characters from the galaxy far, far away celebrating the holiday season.
The Star Wars narrative celebrates a holiday called Life Day. This holiday is from the Wookiee tradition where families celebrate the values of the Wookiee culture with joy and harmony. After the dark times, this Wookiee holiday is celebrated throughout the lore like how Christmas is celebrated with lights, decorations, music, feasts, and gatherings. The promise of the Tree of Life is the main reason for the holiday, and looking at it, it could be associated with a Christmas tree as the counterpart for the holiday

What are the new LEGO Star Wars holiday shorts all about?
Holiday specials are not new in the Star Wars lore and this time, the franchise brings in three all-new shorts for LEGO Star Wars with T'was The Night Before Life Day, Chewie's Holiday Cheer Up, and Tenoo Treasures. T'was The Night Before Life Day shows a story that Yoda tells about how R2-D2 once ruined the Life Day party of the Emperor while on the Death Star. The hilarious clip reveals R2-D2 crashing the party of Stormtroopers who are in the middle of opening their presents. See the clip above.
The clip above is Chewie's Holiday Cheer Up because how does one celebrate Life Day without one of the most known Wookiees in the galaxy far, far away? Life day would not mean anything without the Wookiees as the tradition started with them. The short follows Chewbacca being sad for not being able to celebrate Life Day with his family. Han Solo, being the hero of the story, went to Yavin base to bring in the rebels for a surprise to Chewbacca in their very own Life Day celebration.
The last on the list is connected to Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures as seen on the clip above. It features Master Yoda with the Jedi younglings Kai Brightstar and Lys Solay as they learn an important lesson of patience with a touch of the holiday Magic. Yoda highlights how wonderful is a child's mind as Kai and Lys embraces a task early on. Through such, they learn about patience.
