- When the Star Wars Holiday Special aired on tv in 1978, I doubt anyone thought it would lead to the phenomenon that occurred at Galaxy's Edge last Sunday, November 17. In fact, most folks haven't heard of it -- it's not even on Disney Plus! But that didn't stop over 100 fans from traveling to the planet Batuu to celebrate this Wookiee holiday together.
It was our first time celebrating, and it definitely won't be our last. I'm already counting down the days till next year! If we met in the crowd, please let us know in the comments!! You all are so lovely!!
Huge shoutout to Obi-Shawn for putting this together and leading the celebration each year!! You can find out more at groups/holidayspecial/
We found out about the evening's festivities from Galaxy's Edge Explorers on instagram! galaxysedgeexplorers

Obi-Shawns speech was very great about the missing people we got in our hearts.
I'm from germany and wasn't able to go to galaxys edge. And I never know if I ever will. Thanks to let us fans from all over the World be a part of this funny time all of you had.
I agree!! Obi-Shawn spoke so beautifully, I was definitely tearing up. 🥹 I hope you get to visit Galaxy’s Edge sometime!! I’m still rooting for Disneyland Paris to get more Star Wars 💖🤓
Another emotional person here! I get teary eyed all the time. What a lovely ceremony. We will try to go next year!
Ahh I’m glad I’m not alone 🥰💖! Yes, next year!! It would be so fun to see you there!
Mary & Simon, it was such a lovely pleasure meeting you both & celebrating Life Day together. Here's to many more.
It was soo nice meeting you!! Thank you for coming up to us to say hi, and for hanging out with me in that big crowd!! We had the best time, and I already can’t wait for next year’s 🤓💖
Glad you love the Orb necklace! 🥰
Ahhh thank you so much!! It was such a sweet gesture and it really was the perfect size for my Chewbacca doll. 🥹✨ everyone was sooo lovely, what a great group of Star Wars fans!! 💖
Everyone should exprience their first Chewie hug! XD
Oh the Rey Skywalker interaction was awesome! I would never know what to say in these sorts of things, but that is really cool!
Okay Chewie hugs are officially the best hugs of all time 🥲🥹!! Also, thank you so much for saying that about my chat with Rey! I honestly never know what to say to characters but I felt really inspired when she asked about my porg haha 💖
YAY Thanks for taking us to celebrate Life Day! We hope to celebrate it on Batuu sometime-it looks fun. I liked everything Obi-Shawn had to say about the Star Wars fandom.✌🏾
Aww yay!! Obi-Shawn was so great!! You should totally make the trip next year! It was so magical to get to hang with so many Star Wars fans on such a special day 🤓💖!
Aw this was so sweet 🥲
Thank you!! 🥹💖 it was the best day!!
This is amazing!!! Made me misty eyed seeing everyone so happy and grouped together just on pure love and fandom alone. What an experience!
It was so much fun!! We had seen a video or two about the event from previous years but it was so special to go!! I already can’t wait for next year. 🤓💖
@@nerdydaydreams Hopefully you'll see me there too! Need to get my disneybounding Star Warsy pirate outfit going
@@thrutheturnstyles yes! please come say hi if you see us first!!
@@nerdydaydreams Deal!!
Happy Life Day (belated). This sounds like a JJB kind of holiday!
JJB, you *must* go next year!! It’ll be a party!! 🤓💖♥️
This is such a cute community event!!!! Who knew
Right?! 🥹✨ we had seen some videos from previous years, but it never lined up with a day we could go! It was so much fun!! 💖
Yeah, going back to the hotel for my lightsabers was a BIG mistake. Look at all the fun I missed fighting my way through the parade crowds. Thanks for making me feel like I was there for it anyhow! It was an absolute delight finally getting to meet you both in person!
What do you mean going back to your hotel to get your lightsaber? You were there the entire time celebrating 😉!! It was such a fun day, and we’re so glad we finally got to meet you!! ♥️✨🤓
@@nerdydaydreams That is the kindest gaslighting I've ever received. Let's go with that story! :-)
magnificent
Thank you so much! 🤓💖
Love it! I so should have gone this year! Why did I tear up for the memorial part? Lol. Also, I'm with Simon - if you're gonna pay for a Disney sweater, I wouldn't want it to be dated with the year because by the next year, it's old. It's a marketing scheme. 😂
omg I was definitely crying during the memorial part too 😭. Next year!! I think it’s just going to keep getting bigger and even more special!! You’re totally right about the dated hoodie 😂💖, it was so cute though!! Glad I bought the Chewbacca doll instead. ✨
It was great meeting you both out at life day! I was the one with the mini life day spira.
It was so great to meet you too! The spira you made is so cool, and I’m still obsessed with your candy cane lightsaber! 🤓♥️
Awesome …wish I coulda been there…
Something to look forward to joining in the future!! I bet you would love it!! 🤓♥️
Saw that you made an unannounced cameo appearance on Skywalking Through Neverland on their Life Day coverage. So I was waiting for this!
omg!! That makes me so happy that you caught that haha. Yay, thanks for keeping an eye out for this video! It was so fun to be there and meet so many kind and cool Star Wars fans!! 🤓💖
Vanessa here :) It was so lovely meeting you and Simon! I hope to run into you both again in the parks.
Yay! It was so nice to meet you too! Thank you again for the earrings!! See you in the parks 🥰♥️
I've never been able to make it for life day since I'm all the way up in Canada, and my yearly trip just hasn't worked out like that, but I hope it keeps going for years to come and I can manage to line up a trip one day 😁 it looks so much fun to be on batuu with other hardcore starwars fans
Ahh I totally get that!! If it’s one big trip a year, there are so many fun times, like Star Wars month, the winter holidays, summertime - it must be hard to pick!! It was a really special day, and I hope you do get to join soon! 🤓💖
Mary im not crying you are. That speech about what Star Wars means brought actual tears to my eyes too. So, for once, i won't make my usual joke about. Is it a video without Mary crying? Cause in this case, are you a Star Wars fan and didn't feel your heart melt?
gahhhh this one really got me!! It was such a beautifully nerdy day!! I was crying so much by the end at the wishing tree 😭💖. Glad it tugged on your heartstrings too!
We do definitly need a full Star Wars area in DLP with crazy things like these happening!
Okay, I was thinking the same thing when I visited Disneyland Paris!! I hope that you get a Batuu!! It would be so fun to go to international Star Wars meetups. 🥰💖
@ Definitly! The world need mini Star Wars Con around the world!…. And more Force sensitive people 👀
It was so great talking to you on Life Day! How amazing was it to get your first Chewie hug on your first Life Day on Batuu?! I hope to see you again next year.
I can't believe how magical it was to get that Chewie hug on my first batuu Life Day, you are so right!! 🥰 We are so glad we got to meet you too, and we'll definitely see you next year!! 💖💖💖
Jade and I need to not miss a Life Day
Omg yes, you need to join us for Star Wars Nite and Life Day yearly please!! 🤓♥️✨
