So not only did we not get an event, BioWare still managed to disrespect its IP with these real world references. Agreed. Life Day was originally intended as a "Thanksgiving" like event mixed with a "memorial day" type event and celebrated once every THREE years.

Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too? Goretzu's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving "Entitled" approaches 1

Indeed it is not, it was orginally broadcast on 17 Nov 1978, it is a Thanks Giving (mainly)/Christmas/hanukkah/winterval amalgam (much like the Force and RL religions). However confusingly Lucas has refered to The Holiday Special as the "Christmas special", and canonically Life Day takes place on December the 25th. I think the other fella was just confusing Christmas with Life Day which they've basically done with the Life Day speeder.

I wasn't confusing Christmas with Life Day. I'm saying that Life Day is okay but having specific "Christmas Events" is stupid and shouldn't even be an issue.

Also it's only famous for being in that horrid holiday special. Other then that it's not important at all.

Life Day happens at "Christmas" canonically. Quote: Originally Posted by sstanks wrong Life Day can't take place on December 25th as there is no December in the star wars universe. Also it's only famous for being in that horrid holiday special. Other then that it's not important at all. Well whether it "can't" or not it DOES. Quote: The canonical date for the observance of Life Day has, nevertheless, been established in what sources there are as December 25, or the equivalent thereof in the Wookiee calendar. So that would be "wrong" as in "right", eh?
