In the long tradition of stories that use celebration to stitch together fractured times, Disney Plus offered a small, luminous gift in November 2020: a Lego Star Wars Holiday Special arriving on the 17th, just days before The Mandalorian's return. Set after the close of the Skywalker Saga, it sends Rey tumbling through the full sweep of Star Wars history in search of something simpler — warmth, humor, and a reason to gather. In a year that had tested the patience of even the most resilient, a story about Life Day, told in plastic bricks, was not an insignificant thing.
