"Chewie's Holiday Cheer Up" is a LEGO animated short, categorized as non-canon, that premiered on December 12, 2023. It is part of the LEGO STAR WARS: Celebrate the Season series.
Chewbacca is saddened on Life Day as he looks at a hologram showing his family: his father Attichitcuk, his wife Mallatobuck, and his son Lumpawaroo. He then places his Life Day Orb on a cabinet. Noticing the Wookiee's sadness, Han Solo convenes fellow rebels Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, and R2-D2 in the rebel command center at the Great Temple located on Yavin 4. Solo then persuades his companions to assist him in lifting Chewbacca's spirits.
Enacting their plan, the rebels, along with others, gather outside a large tree within the Yavin 4 jungles. C-3PO and R2-D2 also obtain multiple electrical lanterns. Princess Leia gives a briefing to several rebels regarding decorations before they head out. Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Solo and a rebel trooper are planning the food arrangements.
Later on, Chewbacca discovers the rebel base is deserted. Upon exiting the Great Temple, he observes a trail of electrical lamps that leads him to a clearing in the forest. There, his rebel friends have organized a surprise Life Day celebration, complete with hanging Life Day Orbs. Chewbacca is both amazed and grateful for the care shown by his rebel comrades. After hanging his own Life Day orb, he gives a joyful roar.
