The furry denizens of Endor became a centerpiece for Star Wars fans after their debut in the final act of the original trilogy. While often viewed as simple forest dwellers, their history is surprisingly detailed when you account for spin-off films and behind-the-scenes production tales.
This trivia covers the creation of the Ewoks, their role in major battles, and the peculiar fan debates regarding the ecology of their forest moon. Some questions address specific characters or movie plots, while others look at the wider lore behind the franchise.
If you enjoy these, try Star Wars family lore, effects work, or film franchises.
