Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 83: What Is Life Day? Han & Chewie’s Holiday Special (Life Day #1)

HAPPY LIFE DAY/CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY SEASON! To celebrate this special time of year, Mike embarks on the holiday-appropriate Life Day comic, which contains a total of four stories! As well as giving plenty of information on Life Day, Mike goes through each of the stories (3 of which include Han & Chewie), providing connections to many things, including Chewie’s family & culture, Sarlaccs, the Arcona species and more!

The main story is set somewhere after Return Of The Jedi but before The Force Awakens, while Deck The Halls is set in the High Republic era (231BBY), Paid On Delivery is between Solo (10BBY) & A new Hope (0BBY) and Gift Of Light is set within the original trilogy (0ABY-4ABY).

Life Day 1 was released 24th November 2021. The main story/framing sequence is written by Cavan Scott, with Ivan Fiorelli as artist and Chris Sotomayor as colour artist. Regarding Deck The Halls, Justina Ireland is the writer with Georges Jeanty as penciller, Victor Olazaba as inker and Pete Pantazis as colour artist. Paid On Delivery was written by Steve Orlando with Paul Fry as artist and Alex Sinclair as colour artist. Gift Of Light was written by Jody Houser with Kei Zama as artist and Ruth Redmond as colour artist.

Check out last week’s SWCIC (ep 82), where Mike embarked on the final issues of the War Of The Bounty Hunters crossover event. In the finale, Qi’ra meets Leia, Boba & Valance try to retrieve the carbonite-frozen Han Solo, Aphra finds an ancient dark side artifact, Vader punishes the Hutt Council, IG-88 is rebuilt and more! Plus Mike gives additional info on the Knights Of Ren, the various IG droids, a “Thought Dowser” as well as plenty of other connections!
