Halloween Halloween , or Hallowe ' en , was a festival held in certain locations in the galaxy , including the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant and the settlement of Bright Tree Village on the Forest Moon of Endor . For the Jedi , the festival entailed decorating the temple with carved pumpkins and cobwebs . For the Ewoks of Endor , the festival was an annual highlight characterized by revelry , costuming , laughter , and a large feast . During the Halloween of 3 ABY , a predatory creature known as a hanadak attacked Bright Tree Village but was coaxed into leaving when Wicket W . Warrick and other Ewoks placed pacifying blue dlock leaves upon it . Later during that same Halloween , a band of Duloks kidnapped the Ewoks ' leader , Chief Chirpa , but Warrick and his friends Teebo and Kneesaa rescued the chief and allowed the Halloween festivities to continue . Description . Halloween , also spelled " Hallowe ' en " , was an annual festival celebrated by the citizens of the planet Coruscant and the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village on the Forest Moon of Endor . During the festival , revelers dressed in costumes . For instance , Ewoks dressed as ghosts or other creatures , such as hanadak s . The Ewoks also held a party with a large feast , rollicked through the forest , and scared one another . Halloween decorations included orange gourds with faces or other symbols carved into them , and cobwebs . The Ewoks considered Halloween to be one of the best events of the year . History . During the Clone Wars , the Jedi Temple on Coruscant celebrated Halloween at least once . For the festival , carved pumpkins and cobwebs decked the halls . Some pumpkins featured the likenesses of Separatist leader Count Dooku ; his enforcer , General Grievous ; and his apprentice , Asajj Ventress ; others featured the insignia of the Jedi Order . Another decoration featured a B1 battle droid propped up and dressed like a scarecrow . Meanwhile , clone troopers and Jedi Knights wandered about in masks and costumes . Among the masks available to visitors were Senator Padmé Amidala , Grievous , a Gungan , a Hutt , a golden protocol droid , a blue Ortolan , Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , and Jedi Master Yoda . Clone troopers wandered about in shiny , gold armor or were decorated like skeletons that wielded scythes . Jedi Knights dressed in pirate gear . A purple - furred wampa , a pink Tusken Raider , and a green Zillo Beast costume were also available . Even droids dressed up ; protocol droids wore masks and fake arms to appear like General Grievous , and astromech droids wore sheets over their domes to appear like ghosts . On the Halloween of 3 ABY on the Forest Moon of Endor , the Ewoks Kneesaa , Teebo , and Wicket W . Warrick noticed what appeared to be a hanadak , a savage predator , in their village . At first they dismissed it as another Ewok in costume , but , upon closer inspection , they found that it was the genuine article . Warrick led a group of Ewoks to drive the creature from the village , but the hanadak repelled their assault . Warrick then led the Ewoks in covering the hanadak in the leaves of the blue dlock , a pleasant - smelling plant . The leaves soothed the beast , which retreated back into the forest . During that same year ' s Halloween , a group of Duloks took advantage of the Ewoks ' preoccupation with their Halloween party to raid the village ' s storehouse . There , they accidentally stole away with not only foodstuffs but also Chief Chirpa , leader of the Ewok village . Kneesaa , Teebo , and Warrick discovered that Chirpa was missing and followed the Duloks ' tracks into the woods . Warrick sneaked up behind the Ewok leader , cut him free of his bonds , and allowed the chief to fight off the Dulok brigands . The Ewoks returned to their village , and the Halloween festivities continued . Behind the scenes . The holiday of Halloween — spelled " Hallowe ' en " — originally appeared in the story " Chief Chirpa Kidnapped ! " , published in 1988 as part of the " Ewoks Annual " from Marvel Comics .

The Jedi Temple in which much of the game takes place was decorated , and players had the opportunity to purchase masks of " Star Wars " characters and species , costumes , Halloween decorations , and two Halloween - themed droids , K - 3RNL and J - 4CK .
