They are curious individuals that stand about one meter tall. They are extremely skilled in forest survival and the construction of primitive technology like gliders and catapults. They are quick learners when exposed to advanced technology, however. The Ewoks accepted members of the Rebel Alliance into their tribe, and allied themselves to their cause. The Ewoks helped in the ground battle to destroy the Imperial shield generator built in their forests, and their primitive weapons felled the stormtroopers and the scout walkers of the Empire. Their help paved the way to victory at the Battle of Endor. Show More Loading... Appearances * Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (Episode VI) Affiliations * Rebel Alliance Locations * Endor * Bright Tree Village * Ewok Village Dimensions * Height: 1.0m HISTORY When the Empire established operations on the Forest Moon of Endor, it paid little attention to the native Ewoks, considering them a primitive species that posed no threat. But the Imperials would pay dearly for that arrogant assessment. When the Empire captured the rebel strike team assigned to destroy the shield generator defending the Death Star, the Ewoks rose up against the Imperials. Though armed only with bows and spears, they used their knowledge of the forests to great effect, ambushing stormtroopers and constructing traps that brought down scout walkers. Without these furry warriors’ aid, the second Death Star would never have been destroyed. VIDEO * undefined Video Player is loading.

Show More Loading... * 1:03 VIDEO FIRESIDE STORYTELLER C-3PO, who once admitted he was "not very good at telling stories," delivers an animated account of the Rebellion against the Empire. Show More Loading... GALLERY © 2015 Disney EWOK HISTORY GALLERY * 13 Images * Share * * * * * * * * * * * * Show More * The first contact between rebels and Ewoks came when the Ewok scout Wicket discovered Princess Leia Organa lying unconscious in the woods after falling off her speeder bike. The rebel leader and the Ewok warrior got over their mutual suspicions and worked together to defeat an Imperial biker scout. Then Wicket led Leia to his home, a village high up in the trees. * Searching for Leia, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo ran across an Ewok trap – which Chewbacca unwisely triggered. That left the rebels and droids R2-D2 and C-3PO stuck in a net high above the forest floor. Artoo cut through the net, heedless of the long drop below. * Recovering from the fall, the still-woozy rebels realized they were surrounded by an Ewok hunting party. Han didn’t appreciate having a spear pointed at him, and tried to wrestle it away as Luke counseled his friend to be calm. Then the Ewoks saw C-3PO – and immediately began to bow and chant, taking the golden droid for a deity. * The Ewoks constructed a sedan chair and carried a bemused C-3PO through the woods to their village. The supposed god’s companions weren’t quite so exalted, however – they were tied up and hauled through the woods as captives. * Princess Leia tried to intercede with the Ewoks, explaining that the new arrivals were her friends. But the Ewoks had decided it was their duty to cook their new captives, making them the main course at a banquet in C-3PO’s honor. The rebels escaped this fate when Luke used the Force to levitate Threepio, a display of magic that convinced the Ewoks to free their prisoners. * With the Ewok tribe gathered, C-3PO told the furry warriors the story of the Alliance’s fight against the Empire. After brief deliberation, the Ewoks made the rebels a part of their tribe. * The Ewoks led the rebel commandos to the site of the bunker containing the shield generator – which had to be destroyed before the attack on the second Death Star could begin. The Ewoks also told the rebels a critical bit of news: there was a secret entrance to the bunker. * The Ewok warrior Paploo made a seemingly rash decision when he decided to steal an Imperial speeder bike, zooming off into the woods with scout troopers in hot pursuit. But Paploo’s wild ride made for an excellent diversion, leaving only one trooper behind. * The rebels fought their way into the bunker, but were captured by stormtroopers who’d been expecting an attack. The Alliance’s plan to destroy the Death Star was poised to fail. But the rebels still had allies: the Ewoks joined the fight. * The battle seemed like a mismatch: How could warriors armed with bows and spears stop the Empire’s best troops? But the Ewoks knew every centimeter of the forest, and used this knowledge to their advantage. Stormtroopers hunting the Ewoks were ambushed, knocked down and overwhelmed by the furry warriors. * Scout walkers were tougher opponents, but the Ewoks used techniques they’d employed against large, dangerous animals prowling their woods. They stove in walkers’ armored cabs with swinging logs and tripped up the Imperial machines with log traps. * Chewbacca and a pair of Ewoks took over one scout walker, turning the vehicle’s guns on the Imperials. Disguised as a walker pilot, Han convinced the Imperials to open the bunker’s doors. The rebels then destroyed the shield generator, leaving the Death Star vulnerable to the Alliance’s starfighters. * Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles destroyed the battle station, turning the Emperor’s weapon into a ball of fire in the skies above the forest moon. That night, the rebels and their Ewok allies celebrated the Alliance’s great victory. Share 1 of 13 loading... EWOK HISTORY GALLERY RELATED * DEFAULT ENDOR Secluded in a remote corner of the galaxy, the forest moon of Endor would easily have been overlooked by history were it not for the decisive battle that occurred there. The lush, forest home of the Ewok species is the gravesite of Darth Vader and the Empire itself. It was here that the Rebel Alliance won its most crucial victory over the Galactic Empire. * DEFAULT STORMTROOPERS Stormtroopers are elite shock troops fanatically loyal to the Empire and impossible to sway from the Imperial cause. They wear imposing white armor, which offers a wide range of survival equipment and temperature controls to allow the soldiers to survive in almost any environment. Stormtroopers wield blaster rifles and pistols with great skill, and attack in hordes to overwhelm their enemies. Along with standard stormtroopers, the Empire has organized several specialized units, including snowtroopers and scout troopers. * DEFAULT LEIA ORGANA Princess Leia Organa was one of the greatest leaders of the Rebel Alliance, fearless on the battlefield and dedicated to ending the Empire’s tyranny. Daughter of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, sister of Luke Skywalker, and with a soft spot for scoundrels, Leia ranked among the galaxy’s great heroes. But life under the New Republic proved difficult for her. Sidelined by a new generation of political leaders, she struck out on her own to oppose the First Order as founder of the Resistance. These setbacks in her political career were accompanied by more personal losses, which she endured with her seemingly inexhaustible will. * DEFAULT C-3PO (SEE-THREEPIO) C-3PO longs for more peaceful times, but his continued service to the Resistance — and his knowledge of more than seven million forms of communication — keeps the worry-prone droid in the frontlines of galactic conflict. Programmed for etiquette and protocol, Threepio was built by a young Anakin Skywalker, and has been a constant companion to astromech R2-D2. Over the years, he was involved in some of the galaxy’s most defining moments and thrilling battles. Since the Empire’s defeat, C-3PO has served Leia Organa, head of a Resistance spy ring aimed at undermining the First Order. * DEFAULT WICKET W. WARRICK Wicket W. Warrick was the brave young Ewok who willingly joined the Rebellion and aided in the battle against the Empire on the forest moon of Endor. Even before he encountered the Rebels, Wicket had devised methods for defeating the Imperial machines, plans which were implemented after the Ewok befriended Princess Leia and recruited his tribe to the Alliance's cause. During the Battle of Endor, Wicket fought valiantly alongside his new allies. Show More Loading...
