Talk:Ewok

If you hate Ewoks, you have no soul.

.....Not to mention their apparent grasp of aerodynamically proficient gliders despite having stone age technology in all other respects.....! Dainamo 00:01, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Endor was a moon though, presumably with a lower gravity than we're used to on earth - might help when building gliders. --81.134.54.129 11:21, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I just listened to the ewoks speaking Tagalog and I'm positive they say "Ayun! Puno daw 'to". Ayun is a phonetic spelling of iyon meaning over there. Besides hearing just it, it really makes a heck of a lot more sense than ngayon. I'm going to change it if nobody minds.

The Ewoks also resemble and act like Covenant Grunts from the Halo video game universe.--Ed Telerionus 13:59, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Here's a question - are the Ewoks muppets, or are there actors in there? I guess it's impressive that I can't tell.

They were actors. Lucas had to hire a lot of little people, in deed I think the dwarf who plays R2 also played the role of an ewok. Only the tiniest Ewoks (the babies) were probably puppets, but we only see them in close-ups so it's difficult to tell.

"Initially, Lucas wanted an artificial language based on mathematics and the computer they used for this, resulted something that looked much like ancient Greek. " What the heck? Where's who getting what from? I'm removing it from the article until someone can quote a source on this...

done in the movie?

Were the ewoks played by little kids, midgets or muppetry or some combination thereof?

dictionary wtf?

i dont think wikipedia wants a language translation. klingon language doenst, and neither do any other fictionl languages, so this shouldnt either. i am removing it. Plough talk to me 03:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Hobbits

Statement saying that Ewoks are modelled after Hobbits has been removed. Ewoks and Hobbits are very different and have little similarities. Unless some one can provide details or a quote from Lucas, etc please leave it off.

Dating of Ewok spinoffs

The recent young adult novelization of Return of the Jedi has Wicket remembering the events of the live-action Ewok films, explicitly dating them before Return of the Jedi (and thus leaving open the possibility of the Endorian Holocaust). Also, although I am not a long-time Star Wars fan and thus am not familiar with the debates involved, I do not understand the reference to the Ewoks' use of English in the Ewok films. I just saw them for the first time, and it seems clear to me that the Ewoks only start using English words after they've had an opportunity to hear the Towani family use them. In particular, Wicket seems to know more English than any other Ewok because he has the most contact with Cindel. I think this argues for rather than against a dating prior to Return of the Jedi.

Hate Ewok and defeat of storm troopers

I hate ewoks, like many people. They're stupid, clumsy, stone age and look like overgrown teddy bears. How can they beat up a stormtrooper with a rock? I mean stormtroopers can withstand a projectile going fast. Check the Lucas Bashing and Fan criticism of George Lucas24.7.112.100 04:28, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I, am, a, ewok, chiapet. You, are, a, wookie, taco. Darth Katana X 18:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

The Ewoks are cute and cool. They defeated the imperials no matetr wot u say 195.93.21.5 20:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

i hate being raped by ewoks

The Ewoks are really all of Chewie's illegitimate kids. That's why they call him "Big Daddy." He was trying to hide them on the moon of Endor but got caught. You see, Wookiees have 40-50 children in a litter. 153.2.246.32 01:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Ewokese

Shouldn't the "Language" section be moved to the "Ewokese" entry?

Also, in the DVD commentaries, I believe the sound designer reveals that the language was based on that of an obscure nomadic tribe from western China--someone should look into that and include that information.

Cannibals?

I was wondering about the cannibal part of this entry. Is there any evidence that the Ewoks are cannibals? Some have pointed to the fact that they are going to eat humans in ROTJ as evidence. This only means that they eat people, not that they eat each other. The definition of cannibalism is that you eat your own kind. People eating people, rats eating rats, and dogs eating dogs would all be examples of cannibalism. Ewoks eating people is not cannibalism. If there is no evidence of Ewoks eating Ewoks, this should be removed. 147.155.21.38 00:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Information box?

Well if you take a look on the info box on Ewoks, it doesn't have anything. But when you click edit page, It will have something in the editing page.????? I have seen this happen Lokinjo 23:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism...

WRT to Ewok overcoming stormtroopers

.. A small band of hunter-gatherers with stone-age technology triumphing over highly trained, technologically advanced, professional soldiers was utterly implausible. ..

Yes, but NOT impossible. The Vietnamese, Koreans and Iraquis have strung the Americans along for decades. The Afghanis strung the Russions on for over a decade, when the russians were at their strongest, and now do the same to the `coalition of the willing'. But then again, it is fiction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.172.4.44 (talk) 07:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

The Afghans did have a little help... from US... but the Ewoks had help too! 153.2.246.33 (talk) 08:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
