- "Surviving Wookiees have passed along the details of the Imperial occupation of their world in various forms, but the most haunting of these is a 13-hour-long collective retelling that can be roughly translated into 'The Day the Trees Fell.'"
- ―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
"The Day the Trees Fell" was the rough translation of the title of a Wookiee recording consisting of thirteen hours of a collective retelling of the Galactic Empire's occupation of the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk.[1] In 35 ABY,[2] the historian Beaumont Kin called the recording the most haunting of the various Wookiee accounts of the occupation in[1] his[3] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Day the Trees Fell was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
