Out of curiosity, does anyone here feel the need to celebrate any non-Earth based holidays?

I guess most of you lot seem to be from the worst-named-planet-ever, because ever since I arrived, it feels like all I've heard about are various Earth holidays and Earth traditions. Each of which makes less sense than the previous one, by the way.

I don't celebrate any holidays, necessarily. But it seems to me to be a bit one-sided. If anyone else has any suggestions, you should speak up.

[ The voice that replies sounds metallic, synthetic. As though it's being broadcast through a vocoder (because it is). ]

So even among Earth, different holidays are celebrated depending on where you live? That sounds... tolerant.

[ The Empire forces their holidays on even the planets that don't have the same day or year cycle. ]

Most of the "officially recognized" holidays in my galaxy originate out of Coruscant, which is a planet I've largely tried to avoid, but... I do like the Festival of Stars. It's a week long fete between the ninth and tenth months of the Coruscanti year, celebrating interstellar travel. Though, one downside is that it's a popular time to take a vacation to another planet, so hyperspace lanes can get kind of crowded during those five days.

There's a lot of diversity. People wanna do what they wanna do. I say let them.

That sounds pretty cool, actually. It must be interesting traveling all around the galaxy like that. I'd want to celebrate it, too. [a beat] But I guess traffic jams are universal, ne? Bummer.

Big bummer.

[ It's a bit of an understatement, when some of those traffic jams are caused by Imperial blockades that are likely to get a smuggling vessel like the Falcon impounded or worse. ]

If Christmas isn't something deeply rooted in your culture, what is? What other celebrations do you have?
