The Star Wars Holiday Special is coming to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus shortly and, unlike the original of the same name, this actually soꦚund♏s like it won’t scar us for life.

Talking to , executive producer James Waugh said, "The Holiday Special has something you will never see in Star Wars otherwise which is all the characters from across all timelines crashing together. Normally story group♔s are so concerned about maintaining this amazing galaxy ඣso that it feels cohesive, it was liberating to do this in a way that's charming and fun.”

So, the gloves are off and some drea๊m crossovers – the likes of which previously only seen in the LEGO Sta꧅r Wars games – can come to life.

Currently confirmed: Rey wi🌠ll be fighting her grandfa🔯ther’s former apprentice, Darth Vader in one scene, while all three eras of Obi-Wan (presumably Padawan, bearded Ewan McGregor, and Alec Guinness) featuring.

The Star Wars Holiday Special will take place following the events of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Life Day, the one remaining thread that remai🌳ns from the original 1978 Holiday Special in a galaxy, far, far away (no, Yaddle doesn’t count), will be celebrated and Rey ends up in a Jedi Temple that pushes her bac🅷k in time and experiencing several iconic Star Wars moments.
