Festival of Love



The Festival of Love was a celebration held once a year by the Ewoks on Endor, to honor the kinship and love between tribe members. During the festival, the Ewoks would give gifts of camby berries to each other, to demonstrate trust and acceptance. Tribe members would also prepare meals, sing and dance.

During one such celebration in 1 ABY, Queen Kylantha of Naboo invited Chief Chirpa and his tribe to visit her. Chirpa accepted and travelled to Theed, along with the shaman, Logray. As news of the Galactic Civil War had not yet reached the Ewoks, the pair were equally welcoming to Rebels and Imperials alike.

During the second annual Festival of Love, the Ewoks once again celebrated across the galaxy, this time in Tyrena, Kaadara and the Southern Ewok Lake Village on Endor. During the celebration, spacers were tasked with participating in match-making between couples, bundling love cards for a Ewok child, and helping a disillusioned love sage re-discover the true meaning of the Ewok Festival of Love. By completing these tasks, spacers would be awarded Ewok Chak Hearts, which could be turned in for a variety of gifts. During the celebration, spacers would also make an effort to find an Ewok named Kyoopid, honoring him during this time of love.

Behind the scenes
The Festival of Love was a live event held on the online game Star Wars Galaxies in February 2008 and 2009. It was based on the real-world celebration, Valentine's Day.
