Podcast Stardust #336: Star Wars Life Day Treasury

by Podcast Stardust

We celebrate Life Day with a discussion of the tales from George Mann and Cavan Scott’s Star Wars Life Day Treasury.

On this date in 1978, the Star Wars Holiday Special aired on network television and introduce Star Wars fans to Life Day for the very first time. It wasn’t particularly well received, and its reputation has not improved over time. However, Star Wars fans have still found a way to embrace the idea of Life Day. Every year, many fans find a way to celebrate this Star Wars winter holiday. This year, George Mann and Cavan Scott collaborated on a new collection of short stories: the Star Wars Life Day Treasury. On this episode of Podcast Stardust, we get into the Life Day spirit as we discuss all the fun of this collection.

In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:

  • Stellan Gios tracking a suspicious thief on Solstice Tide,
  • A droid captured by Jawas helps spread the hope of the Oil-bringer,
  • How a twi’lek was inspired by a story of how a Sith was once defeated,
  • The tale of how Wicket and friends hunted the legendary Kroolok,
  • How old friends from Alderaan find common ground celebrating Winter’s Hearth,
  • A story of a young girl that teachers her village to quit fearing the ghosts of Life Day,
  • How one young man found his purpose and future on Jedha during Reflection Day, and
  • The tale of Chewbacca’s family coming back together for Life Day.
