Life Day was first introduced in a 1978 Star Wars holiday variety special that was widely panned by TV audiences.

In the new special, the heroine Rey sets out on an adventure with the droid BB-8 and is "hurled into a cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments in Star Wars cinematic history," Disney said in a statement.
