"Han, are you going to help me here?"
"Oh! Sorry Luke. I was just thinking about me and Leia. The ceremony will take place right here in the throne room, and we'll be surrounded by our closest friends and allies!"
"Yeah. Sounds great. Can we just get this tree up?"
Han and Luke pushed with all their strength, and the tree stood straight in the hole bored into the ground. At this point, C3PO in all of his golden glory walked into the throne room carrying a crate of gold, silver, green, and red balls on hooks. R2D2 rolled in wrapped in silver strings, which Luke promptly removed for fear of the strings being sucked into his motor.
"The tree does look good Master, even without these decorations."
"Beep boop blarp bleep!"
"R2! We are NOT going to use my head as decorating piece. Isn't that right Master?"
"No. Of course not 3PO."
Leia and Chewie entered the hall through the main entrance at the back of the wide room holding a silver topper, and addressed the group.
"Looks good guys. Luke, you can use the Force to get this Alderaanian star on top right? It's a gift from the family of my cousin's mother's brother-in-law's nephew to my mother and father."
"Sure thing. Here."
Luke outstretched his hand and took the ornament from her using the invisible power of the Force. The star floated up to the top of the 20-foot tall Wroshyr. The crystal star clinked gently against the stone ceiling, issuing a small tinkling sound.
"Careful! That's worth over 200,000 credits! If you drop it I swear..."
"Your yelling isn't helping the situation!"
"Rwooar!"
"Excuse me, but I believe Master Luke has gotten the ornament into place in the upper branches."
"Well so he has. Good job Luke!"
"Yeah! It looks great!"
With the glass star adorning the top of the tree, Luke, Chewbacca, Han, Leia, C3PO, and R2D2 hung the balls and strings on the branches of the Wroshyr tree.
People filed in just as the finishing touches were placed on the tree, and Luke wished the crowd a happy Saturnalia, after which Tarisian Ale was brought out, food synthesizers were placed on tables, and merriment ensued. The exchanging of gifts began, and Han was surprised to see that Chewbacca had given him a bandolier for his blaster cartridges.
"Chewie, I told you I wanted a new hyperdrive for the Falcon."
"Groooarr!"
"Why? What's in the first pocket?"
When Han put his fingers in the bandolier's top compartment, he pulled out a folded piece of paper. Quickly opening the poster, Han saw that it was an advertisement for the newest, top of the line starship hyperdrive.
"Oh buddy. You didn't! I can't believe you. Come here you big walking carpet!"
Han was swallowed by Chewbacca's monstrous form. The Wookie's arms enclosed Han, and his fur covered Han's body. Just then, the engines of the Falcon started up, and everyone could hear it. Inside the hangar, the Millennium Falcon floated towards the doors.
"Hey! That's my ship!"
A large red figure opened the cockpit at this, and yelled to the 100 or so people gathered in the eastern end of the room.
"Ho ho ho! I'm taking her for a little spin! Happy Saturnalia to all, and to all a good Galactic Standard Night!"
