Revision 93067821 of "Life Day" on enwiki

'''Life Day''' was the [[fiction]]al [[Wookiee]] [[holiday]] celebrated by the inhabitants of [[Kashyyyk]]. It was originally featured in ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]'' with its airing in 1978.

Unlike most aspects of the normally well-crafted ''[[Star Wars]]'' universe, Life Day is utterly expedient, inserted into the show to provide a very basic goal for the [[hero]]es, and lend a bit of topical relevance to the material, which would otherwise be completely inappropriate for a [[television]] holiday special.

===The Star Wars Holiday Special===

''The Star Wars Holiday Special'' gives us some insight into the customs of Life Day.  [[Chewbacca]]'s wife prepares a feast, [[gifts]] are exchanged between acquaintances, [[candle]]s are burned [[ritual]]istically, and Wookiees put on red [[robe]]s and join into groups to observe the day. [[Singing]] is involved.

===Printed media===

Another source which gives us a view of Life Day for the Wookiees is the [[1979 in literature|1979]] children's book ''The Wookiee Storybook''. This book tells us that on this holiday, a certain fruit is sacred to the wookiees as part of their feasting ceremonies. In the 1979 [[Russ Manning]] [[newspaper]] [[comic strip]] ''The Kashyyyk Depths'', the regular cast of ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|A New Hope]]'' once again returned to Kashyyyk for another Life Day celebration.

===Video games===
