: Originally, the Ewok scene was supposed to be the wookie homeworld. Hence
: Ewok - Wokee they just cut 'em in half and called them ewoks instead. I think they should have stuck to the wookee idea. But, I don't hate the ewoks. I just... I don't know. I liked the Lightsaber scene so much that everytime it would cut back to the ewok scenes I'd be like, Fuck this little leather covered runts, I want to see Darth whoop some ass. PLus the Death star space battle is still unparalelled in any movie so far.
that it was probably easier to get a bunch of midgets instead of a bunch of 7 foot tall guys, plus you save on the cost of suits.
