Looks like we have a new thing to watch on Life Day, the Star Wars galaxy’s answer to Thanksgiving/Christmas.
Life Day was, of course, introduced in 1978’s Star Wars Holiday Special, the so bad it’s horrendous instalment into the Star Wars saga that many fans – including George Lucas – hate, but quite a few embrace for its sheer mentalness.
Now, we have an all-new Star Wars Holiday Special arriving on November 17th – that’s Life Day, funny enough – and this time, it’s done with Lego and it encompasses the whole saga, not just A New Hope, which as we had in 1978.
Will it be as bad as the original? Unlikely, but I know what I’ll be watching this Life Day.
For Rey, this year’s Life Day will be long remembered.
Lucasfilm released today a brand-new trailer for The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, coming November 17 to Disney+, offering a fun and frantic sneak peek at what’s in store. In the trailer, Rey discovers an ancient “key” that sends her traveling through time and space, where she encounters legends of the past and seemingly brings together all Star Wars eras. Among the trailer’s many memorable moments, Rey battles Darth Vader, with both pausing to admire the Child’s cuteness; Lando opens presents, hoping for a cape; and two Han Solos politely ask each other who should shoot first. All told, The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special looks to capture all of the trademark in-joke humor and action of LEGO Star Wars, while giving fans the Star Wars mashup they’ve long dreamed about.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
