Santa Claus/Legends
Santa Claus was a festively dressed, probable member of the Rebel Alliance stationed on the cruiser Independence.[1] A member of the same species as the Jedi Master Yoda was known to have donned regalia similar to Claus's distinctive outfit on at least one occasion.[2]
In 3963 BBY, Santa or a being dressed as him was located at Goodvalor's Little Bivoli.[3] By the Galactic Civil War, Santa had joined the Rebel Alliance.[1]
Behind the scenes
Santa Claus first appeared as an easter egg in the 1993 Star Wars: X-Wing computer game.[1] In real life, Santa Claus is a Christmas legend, said to bring gifts to children on Christmas Eve.[4] In Star Wars: X-Wing, when the date is set to December 25—the date of Christmas—in the Collector's CD-ROM version, Santa Claus appears on the Independence concourse menu.[1]
In LEGO Star Wars II, entering the codes "CL4U5H" and "TYH319" at the Mos Eisley Cantina and activating Disguise 3 in the Extras menu allows you to create a Santa-like character in the character customizer.[5] This character is identified as Santa Claus in a StarWars.com news item. According to the news item, "Santa Claus is a Jedi Knight whose amazing Force powers allow him to pull off such spectacular feats."[6]
In 2006, a limited-edition figurine was issued of Yoda dressed in a Santa suit with a sack of toys.
Claus' son, "S. Claus," appears at the end of the album Christmas in the Stars.[7]
A number of LEGO sets in the "Star Wars Advent Calendar" line have popular characters dressed as Santa Claus[8][9][10] including but not limited to: Darth Maul,[9] BB-8,[11] Darth Vader,[12] and Yoda.[8]
