The LEGO version of the Star Wars Holiday Special is coming to Disney+

Gather up your holiday cheer and be sure to pack a cookie for your Wookie because Disney+ is set to premiere THE LEGO STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL on Life Day, November 17, 2020.

THE LEGO STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL reunites 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.

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!

Also set to be unleashed this holiday season is the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. Available September 1, the Advent Calendar was designed in concert with the development and production of the show and features holiday-themed characters from the special. DK will also release the LEGO Star Wars Holiday sticker book, which lets build-a-brick fans stick instead of click.

THE LEGO STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL is an Atomic Cartoons, the LEGO Group, and Lucasfilm production. The special is directed by Ken Cunningham and written by David Shayne, who will also serve as a co-executive producer, alongside James Waugh, Josh Rimes, Jason Cosler, Jacqui Lopez, Jill Wilfert, and Keith Malone.
