The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special to Premiere on Disney+
---------------------------------------------------------
Learn the true meaning of Life Day with a festive celebration
of the entire Skywalker Saga in the charming LEGO style
debuting November 17.

It's the most wonderful time of the year on Kashyyyk, and
LEGO Star Wars fans are invited to journey back to Chewbacca's
homeworld for a Wookiee-sized celebration of the galaxy's most
cheerful and magical holiday - Life Day!

This November, The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, - which
premieres on Life Day, November 17, 2020 on Disney+, - will
reunite Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, Rose and all your favorite
droids, from R2-D2 to BB-8, for a joyous feast on Life Day, the
holiday first introduced in 1978's Star Wars Holiday Special.
The new LEGO special is the first to debut on the streaming
platform and will continue the rich longtime collaboration
between Lucasfilm and the LEGO Group - playful adventures told
in an endearingly irreverent way.

Set after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey
leaves her friends to prepare for Life Day as she embarks on a
new adventure with BB-8 to gain a deeper knowledge of the Force.
At a mysterious Jedi temple, Rey finds herself hurled into a
cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments in Star Wars
cinematic history, coming into contact with Luke Skywalker,
Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and other iconic heroes and
villains from all nine Skywalker saga films. But will she make it
back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of
holiday spirit?  You'll have to watch to find out!

And starting next month, you can get a closer look at some of the
holiday-themed characters from the special when the 2020 LEGO Star
Wars Advent Calendar releases on September 1. This year, the
advent calendar was designed in concert with the development and
production of the show. DK will also release the LEGO Star Wars
Holiday sticker book, which lets brick fans stick instead of
click.

The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special is a production of Atomic
Cartoons, the LEGO Group, and Lucasfilm. It is directed by Ken
Cunningham and written by David Shayne, who is also co-executive
producer. James Waugh, Josh Rimes, Jason Cosler, Jacqui Lopez,
Jill Wilfert, and Keith Malone are executive producers.
