How to Watch ‘LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special’ on Disney+
Last updated July 8, 2021
Us humans may have our own holidays to celebrate, but so do the Wookies. This year, we're getting a LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special to celebrate Life Day, and we couldn't be more eager to watch the whole thing on Disney+.
Lego Star Wars fans are invited to Chewbacca's homeland, where Life Day is celebrated in a cheerful and magical way. The special event will reunite Chewie, Rose, Rey, Finn, and Poe, alongside a slew of lovable droids like R2-D2 or BB-8.
Of course, longtime fans will know this isn't the first time we've heard of Life Day, as the holiday was introduced back in the Star Wars Holiday Special of 1978. However, the new event will bring in the wonderful world of Lego and mix it in the regular Star Wars universe.
What to Expect of LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special?
The special event that Disney+ is prepping takes place after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Rey leaves her friends to prepare for Life Day, and she goes on a new adventure alongside BB-8 to learn more about the Force. She finds herself on a cross-timeline adventure, and she encounters numerous moments in Star Wars history as she comes in contact with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and other iconic characters.
It remains to be seen whether Rey will make it back for Life Day and whether she'll learn the true meaning of the holiday.
What Is Life Day?
Life Day is a Wookiee tradition that celebrates the values and tenents of their culture - family, harmony, and joy. Life Day is held at the Tree of Life on Kashyyyk and observed by Wookiees everywhere in the galaxy

Can I Watch LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special Elsewhere?
Since LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special was created for Disney+, there is no other way to watch the event. There is a slight chance that it might become available on Hulu at one point in the future, but it's unlikely to happen soon.
Also, the special won't be available for purchase, and it's cheaper to subscribe to Disney+ anyway.
