The galaxy was abuzz with the spirit of Life Day, a holiday celebrated far and wide among the stars. From the snowy plains of Hoth to the bustling streets of Coruscant, the festivities brought together beings of all shapes and sizes. However, one planet stood out that year for an unexpected reason: Kashyyyk, home of the Wookiees, was hosting its first-ever "Intergalactic Ugly Sweater Contest."

The Invitation
Leia Organa received the holographic invitation with a raised brow. “Ugly sweaters? Really?” she muttered, glancing at Luke, who was meditating in the corner. The young Jedi opened one eye and smirked. “It’s Life Day, Leia. A little fun won’t hurt anyone.”
Han Solo was less subtle. “An ugly sweater contest? I’ll have Chewie knit me one that’ll knock your socks off.” The Wookiee in question growled a low chuckle, already pulling out his knitting needles.
Meanwhile, on the dark side of the galaxy, Darth Vader himself was presented with an invitation by an overly enthusiastic Imperial officer. “Lord Vader, it’s an opportunity to show the rebels that we too have... festive spirit.” The Sith Lord’s heavy breathing filled the room. “Prepare my sweater,” he commanded.

The Sweaters
As the contest drew near, creativity flourished across the galaxy. Leia, always one to add a touch of diplomacy, chose a sweater depicting Alderaan’s twin moons with sparkling LEDs. Luke, keeping to his roots, wore a Jedi robe-inspired sweater embroidered with tiny lightsabers.
Han’s sweater, true to his personality, featured a scrappy Millennium Falcon crashing through a pile of tinsel, with “Never Tell Me the Odds” scrawled in glittery letters. Chewbacca, on the other hand, sported a hand-knit masterpiece with furry patches and jingle bells that jingled with every step.
But no one was prepared for Darth Vader’s sweater. His iconic chest plate was replicated in yarn, complete with blinking buttons, and the words “Deck the Halls with the Dark Side” were boldly stitched across the front.

The Contest
The gathering on Kashyyyk was a sight to behold. Beings from every corner of the galaxy strutted their sweaters with pride. Ewoks danced in matching red and green outfits, while Jawas sold glowing sweater accessories to last-minute participants.
When Vader arrived, a hush fell over the crowd. The imposing Sith Lord in his blinking sweater was an unexpected twist. Even Yoda, who was quietly sipping his Life Day punch, couldn’t suppress a chuckle.
The judging panel included none other than C-3PO, who took his role very seriously, and R2-D2, who beeped enthusiastically at every over-the-top design. After hours of deliberation, the judges finally announced the winner.
To everyone’s surprise, the grand prize didn’t go to Leia’s elegant lights or Vader’s menacing brilliance. It was awarded to a small, shy Jawa wearing a sweater depicting a miniature Death Star wrapped in Christmas lights. The crowd erupted in cheers.

The True Spirit
As the celebrations continued late into the night, it became clear that the contest wasn’t about who had the ugliest sweater or the best design. It was about unity, joy, and a shared sense of humor—even in a galaxy torn by conflict.
Even Vader seemed to lighten up, sharing a rare laugh with Luke and Leia. For just one night, rebels and Imperials stood side by side, proving that even the darkest corners of the galaxy could be brightened by a little holiday cheer—and an ugly sweater or two.
