Ewoks are the small, furry, bipedal sentient mammalian species native to the forest moon of Endor, famous for helping the Rebel Alliance defeat the Galactic Empire in Return of the Jedi.

Uses the specialized Ewok hood and head combination piece that accurately translates the movie creature into LEGO form while maintaining minifigure proportions.

Collectibility

History
Ewoks were first introduced to the LEGO Star Wars theme in 2002 with Wicket, and designs have steadily improved with more detailed fur and face printing over the decades.
Interesting Facts
Ewoks speak a fictional language called 'Ewokese', which was partly created by sound designers mixing recordings of Tibetan, Kalmyk, and Mongolian languages.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a forest moon of Endor MOC baseplate alongside Rebel commandos, stormtroopers, and AT-ST walkers.
Modification Potential
Great for custom forest tribe dioramas, and parts can be mixed with various tribal accessories like spears, drums, and hoods.
Overall Assessment
A charming and essential troop-builder figure for any Return of the Jedi fan, featuring delightful printing on a specialized mold.
