Eric Walker is an American Actor and Musician who was born in 1970. He is most well known for starring as the character of Mace Towani in two Star Wars spin-off television movies for George Lucas, "The Ewok Adventure" 1984 and "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" in 1985 on the ABC television network. "The Ewok Adenture aired on ABC on Sunday November 25 at 8PM. It was seen by over 65 million viewers and at the time was the first major event recorded in consumers on the still new format VHS (video cassette recorder). It also was released overseas as a theatrical movie and renamed to "Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure". Because of the success ABC tried to get George Lucas to do a weekly series. Lucas was not interested in doing a weekly series but was finally talked into doing another movie.

The second movie "Ewoks: The Battle For Endor" came exactly a year later but was panned by critics because Lucas killed off the entire Towani Family except for the little girl Cindel Towani. Eric Walker has stated in several magazines including the Official Lucasfilm Star Wars Insider that the movie was made for Mr. Lucas's daughter Amanda Lucas who saw the little girl who was around the same age as her, as her hero.
