Update: Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is now here. Here's our full review of the game.
'Tis the season in a galaxy far, far away, so watch the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special on Disney Plus. It's inspired by the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, which has become something of a legend since George Lucas hated it so much that it was never released on video.
In the original special, Chewbacca and Han Solo visited the Wookiee's home planet to celebrate Life Day (Star Wars' version of Christmas). The new LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special takes place after Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker and reunites Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, Rose and the droids for a joyous feast on Life Day.

But will she make it back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of holiday spirit?
The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special is directed by Ken Cunningham, written by David Shayne, and brought to life by Atomic Cartoons.

What to know about the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special
If you've never even heard of the Star Wars Holiday Special, that's no surprise. The show aired once on CBS in 1978. Though George Lucas produced it, he was unhappy with the final product. Thus, the special has never been rebroadcast or released on home video or digital. There are bootleg copies floating around.
The Star Wars Holiday Special takes place between Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The story follows Chewbacca and Han Solo visiting the Wookiee home planet of Kashyyyk. There, they spend time with Chewie's family, including his wife Malla, his son Lumpy, and his father Itchy. But since Chewie and Han are known Rebel fighters, they're pursued there by the Empire.
