WHAT IS STAR WARS LIFE DAY?
One of the few known holidays in the Star Wars universe, Life Day is the Wookiee celebration of family, joy, and harmony.
Wookiees traditionally celebrated the holiday around the Tree of Life, a giant Wroshyr tree representing the spark of life on Kashyyyk. They decorate the tree with vibrant Life Day orbs and enjoy festivals, holiday feasts, and music.
During the oppression of the Galactic Empire, it spread throughout the galaxy as a symbol of hope. After the Empire fell, it became a celebration of peace and freedom.
