    Make that "glassy-eyed teddy bear" movie - though I believe GL had eyelids digitally added for the extra super special editions.

    Maybe he will be an Ewok that leads the creepy grave robber guy to Vader's remains. Then he bites the dust.

    Or maybe Leia didn't end up with Han. Maybe she ended up with Wicket?

    Correct. They added blinking eyelids to the ewoks in the Blu-ray editions, because thousands of fans had been clamoring for that change ever since ROTJ came out. OK, actually nobody ever clamored for that change at all, but what the heck.

    Talking to someone today, they reckon that Wicket will now be the chief of his Ewok tribe and we'll see him when the Grave Robber comes to the moon of Endor to find Vader's remains. The Grave Robber won't be alone and his troops will slaughter the Ewoks.

    I guess this YouTube clip would have been approved and perhaps even scripted and filmed by JJ. What level of involvement do you reckon JJ had, and also, what significance do you think the bits and pieces on the table had (including Warwick's beard)? Were they clues, or red herrings?

    Did the non-blinking eyelids keep you up at night too?

    If I see an Ewok I'm walking back to the ticket booth and giving them more money.

    If I see an ewok, all I'm gonna be thinking now is of a sweaty Warwick inside, probably in his underpants, furiously working away.

    I had been wondering since before casting was announced whether he'd get a part. Glad to hear he's back. It'll be interesting to see if he's playing Wicket again or another character.

    Forget Wicket, I hope this is that Star Wars/Leprechaun in Space cross-over I've been waiting for.

    I would disagree actually. I would say with 99% certainty that JJ had nothing to do with this, if he even knew they were doing it at all... As far as clues go, I think even the beard business is just people over-analyzing things... But you never know...

    maybe, it's just he's usually very hands on over what, when and how info gets out, doesn't feel to me that this wasn't a controlled leakage

    Controlled, yes. By JJ, probably not... JJ is aware that Warwick will be in the cast. obviously. But they wouldn't have bothered him to do this.

    Warwick and his team may have wrote and filmed the thing themselves after starwars.com told them to do so... But I doubt JJ had anything to do with this in any regard...

    i guess if i'm the only one thinking this way, i'm probably not seeing it right. usually peeps on these boards pore over every detail of things - especially things that come through official channels. by normal standards, there's a high level of disregard over this youtube clip, bearing in mind there seems to be quite a few things going on in it.

    Agreed.

    The video "starts" in July 2013 and ends in October 2014. The beard is there to show that he has been waiting for his phone call for a long time.

    That's it, folks.

    You were talking to whom exactly? An actual person who may know something or just one of your friends?

    If I was Hayden, I would have said that during the first take for when Anakin's laying there on the embankment.

    I'm so happy, Welcome back Warwick. I STILL LOVE "WILLOW" till this day. Screw the critics. It's an 80's baby Classic:

    Exactly this!

    It has become hip to say that ROTJ was a weak link; but at the time it was loved just as much as the other 2 movies, and considered the perfect ending to an Iconic Trilogy.


    I am glad that Warwick is on board again for the Star Wars Saga. I would like to see him do some motion capture work for an alien Character, and do the voice over for that Character as well; just like Serkis does. It doesn't have to be a major Character; maybe just a line or two, to give some inside info to one of the main Characters? I think that would be cool. :)
