Existing in harmony with nature, [19] Ewoks lived high among the trees of the forest moon of Endor, in villages built between the closely spaced trees. The canopies of the great trees were filled with watchers who could alert the tribe of approaching gorax or condor dragons, and could use gliders to patrol the lands beyond their local village. Bachelors, on the other hand, often lived on the ground and kept watch for even greater dangers, such as Duloks, who often emerged from the swamps to prey on Ewoks and lantern birds. [5]

Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor are made-for-TV spin-off movies that aired on ABC in 1984 and 1985 respectively. The events of both films take place between Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, so don't expect any cameos by the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire. The movies follow the traditional '80s child-adventurer movie template: children are separated from their parents, encounter some adorable puppet-like creatures, and go on a journey that serves as an allegory for growing up. The Ewoks are seen to be a controversial element of Return of the Jedi and the Star Wars universe in general, and are seen by some to be the weakest part of the original trilogy. According to Tami Katzoff of MTV News, "a prevailing theory among Ewok-haters is that the creatures were originally conceived as a sure way to appeal to small children and sell plush toys to their parents." [21] Others enjoy the Ewoks, and they have proven to be very popular with children from their introduction in 1983 to the present day. [22] Film

In Return of the Jedi, the Ewoks played a pivotal role in the defeat of the Imperial troops on the Forest Moon and the resultant destruction of the Death Star and the Emperor’s forces by the Rebel fleet. In the audio commentary for the 2004 re-release of Return of the Jedi, as well as the documentary Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy, Lucas also cited the Viet Cong as being the primary inspiration for the Ewoks, particularly their defeat of the Galactic Empire.Later that night Luke went alone to the shield generator bunker, was captured and taken by Darth Vader to the Emperor on the Death Star. Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure was one of four films to be juried-awarded Emmys for Outstanding Special Visual Effects at the 37th Primetime Emmy Awards.

George Lucas created the Ewoks because he wanted Return of the Jedi to feature a tribe of primitive creatures that bring down the technological Empire. He had originally intended the scenes to be set on the Wookiee home planet, but as the film series evolved, the Wookiees became technologically skilled. Lucas reversed the syllables to designate a new species, [1] which rhymes with the Miwok, a Native American tribe indigenous to the Redwood forest in which the Endor scenes were filmed for Return of the Jedi. [2] He also based the Ewoks' defeat of the Galactic Empire on the actions of the Viet Cong guerrillas who fought against American soldiers during the Vietnam War. [3]The ewoks may look primitive at first, but there is evidence in Return of the Jedi that they are a lot smarter than they appear. While not as technologically advanced, they are very good at working effectively with the resources available to them. They have a hidden talent for engineering- note the intricate structures that make up their village, which is built to be supported by trees. They even have simple gliders that allow limited flight- well beyond anything stone-age humans could have come up with. While having the means to build advanced technology, they were even capable of developing a crude understanding of how to use certain machines, like speeder bikes. They had to be smart, due to the environmental pressures of Endor. The Ewoks were born of George Lucas’ imagination in the 1983 Star Wars movie Return of the Jedi. They were the inhabitants of the Forest Moon of Endor and turned out to be a critical piece of the puzzle when the Rebel Alliance set out to destroy the second Death Star and the Emperor. Chief Chirpa has been the leader of the Ewok tribe for a total of 42 seasons. He has a large amount of wisdom and good judgement, but he has become forgetful due to his old age. He allows the Ewok tribe the authority to fight against the Empire. Chief Chirpa has a medallion signifying he is the chief of the Ewoks. Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy (2004).
