Holidays are a prime shopping time in many cultures. Seasonal sales drive economies in our world — as they likely would in worlds across the Star Wars galaxy, too. There are several planets famous for their luxury tourism and shopping, including Coruscant, Nar Shaddaa, and Bespin. So if you are feeling a bit bedraggled with the holiday retail experience here on Earth, it can be a fun, temporary escape to imagine what a day in a locality like Cloud City might be like instead!
Hit the Platform With Your Gonks Running
Your shuttle might arrive on landing platform 327, on a glorious Cloud City morning. You would anxiously gather your personal items (and your younglings, if you have any), and head out the airlock and down the ramp. The first thing that would hit you is a blast of wind, sending your coat tails around your elbows and your hat sailing into the air and past the towers beyond the platform (what a pity)! As a gas planet with a complex atmosphere, Bespin might be prone to strong wind gusts.
As you march across the walkway, you might look back toward your shuttle, the Gorse Forsaken, and observe a little procession of droids disembarking, just as another gust of wind sends an unfortunate mini gonk droid skidding across the platform and plummeting to the gassy planet core below — Gonk! Gonk! Gonking all the way! The droids would probably swap concerned looks as you all hurry a little faster to get inside the terminal.
An attendant droid would likely greet you inside. “Welcome to Bespin Cloud City, a premier luxury destination and industrial mining zone! We have gas!”
