Remembrance Day Remembrance Day was a holiday celebrated by the members of the Rebel Alliance in the tradition of the Old Republic ' s Republic Day . It was held at the same time as the Imperial Empire Day . History . In 1 ABY , during the height of the Galactic Civil War , Princess Leia used the holiday to celebrate all those who had died in the name of the Rebel Alliance . On this day , she arrived just on the outskirts of Coronet on Corellia on the " Millennium Falcon " to a crowd of Rebel soldiers and sympathizers . A fountain with a statue of Jedi Master Yoda had been installed for this event , to honor the Jedi who had served valiantly in the Clone Wars . Guarded by members of the Rebel Alliance Honor Guard , the princess thanked the crowd for their continued support and asked them to celebrate those lost in the war , and even called out a few of the soldiers present by name . After visiting for a short time , she boarded the " Falcon " with Han and Chewie to leave the planet . As she departed , Rebel starships flew by as fireworks exploded overhead . During the Remembrance Day festivities , Captain Derlin tasked loyal Rebels to graffiti tag Imperial propaganda posters around the city , and put up posters which proclaimed , " Remember Alderaan . " Major Carlist Rieekan tasked Rebel traders to gather supplies from crashed Rebel shuttles , and gave entertainer s the option to entertain Rebel soldiers in the Coronet cantina . Wedge Antilles also participated in the Remembrance Day festivities , tasking a Rebel operative to rescue six Rebel pilots from a prison facility in an Imperial Fortress . Due to Coronet ' s sympathetic nature to the Rebellion , the Empire did little to stop the Remembrance Day festivities from taking place . However , there were reports of Imperial soldiers gunning down those who vandalized Imperial posters . During festivities , various souvenirs were also sold and handed out , including paintings and posters ( Darth Vader , Princess Leia , etc . ) ; models ( decoration devices and space station models ) , decorative sashes ; an automated target dummy ( based on either the Rebels or the Empire ) and tools ( Novaless Soni - Optics Goggles Mark V ) . Although some were exclusive to either Empire Day or Remembrance Day , most of them were available on both holidays . In addition , an event organizer often stood near the Statue of Yoda at the atrium of Coronet City , where he sold various pro - Rebel rations such as Favorites of the Force and Death Star Destruction to those loyal to the Rebel Alliance . However , due to the Alliance ' s war against the Empire , the organizer will specifically turn away any Imperial - aligned soldiers who try to receive any of the rations . Behind the scenes . Remembrance Day was a recurring event in the " Star Wars Galaxies " . There was three in - game celebrations , each in the June of 2008 , ' 09 , and ' 10 . All players that visited the celebrations received a special " " movie poster and could buy Favorites of the Force and Death Star Destruction , food that temporarily enhanced the players ' stats . Once every hour , the " Millennium Falcon " landed and Princess Leia called out one of the Rebel - aligned player characters present at the celebration . This player received a special badge and the title " Hero of Remembrance Day . " This changed slightly in the 2009 celebration . Leia would land every 15 minutes and call out three players , this time receiving the title " Champion of Remembrance Day . " Players would also receive a " " movie poster to commemorate the six year anniversary of " Star Wars Galaxies " . In addition , the 2009 celebration included additional quests for players . The 2010 representation of Remembrance Day remained widely unchanged , except it offered players new badges , a few extra rewards , and a new title , " Chosen of Remembrance Day . "
