Lit Share your Ewoks timeline! (Legends)

Huh, interesting.

Personally I never really got that feeling. I remember the old Marvel comics had Endor as a full member world with an ewok senator and everything, or at least ambassador, and it being established somewhere else that the New Republic set up a permanent embassy/trading outpost on Endor. New canon, is less clear, but there being an ewok slicer in the New Republic intelligence services implies some degree of contact. And someone was around to pull a hyperspace ram on the star destroyer above endor in TROS.

(Also both Lego Star Wars and Star Tours establish Endor as a tourist destination - and yeah neither are canon, but personally I am including that as a headcanon)


Plus there is the whole Marauder blasters thing - namely, in the first battle with the marauders, the ewoks get slaughtered by marauders wielding blasters, but after getting used to them blasters the ewoks develop counter measures and win the second battle. If this was after Endor, they should already be familiar with blaster, whereas being used to fighting blast wielding marauders before ROTJ gives a good reason to not be as intimated by imperial blasters, and be able to steal and use them quickly.

 

Good Point there.

The only counter I can think of immediately for the blasters would be that only a limited number of Ewoks ever actually grabbed a blaster or used it. I don't know if the Alliance/NR would feel compelled to supply the Ewoks with such tech, or if the Ewoks would embrace it for everyday use.

Perhaps after 3 years, the fuel cells on the Imperial leftovers were used up or drained out.

As for the Alliance's "presence"...perhaps they set up shop on another planet/moon in the system? Perhaps a permanent presence could be an unmanned trading post/landing zone for periodic visits?

Even that doesn't explain why the Ewoks would not lead the Towanis to this outpost in search of help.

As to the tourism...I always saw that as precisely what the Towanis were doing in the system to begin with. An 80's version of the muti-media cross-over paving the way for the eventual launch of Star Tours. When I was a kid, I thought Star Tours was what got the Towanis stranded.

Maybe most ewoks just wanted to live their traditional lifestyle. Some ran off to become senators and fighter pilots (Yub Yub, Commander!) but most took a comfort from a new Galactic Government that wasn't going to build a terror weapon in their front yard, and would leave them to live in peace among the trees.

 

What if the Ewok movies take place way before the PT and Cindel is Shmi and her story how she lost her family to Pirates/Marauders before ending up with Gardulla and Watto after escaping Endor? That way RotJ would come full circle!!!

Could this somehow be made compatible with your theory that Rey is Shmi, having flow-walked back after being inadvertently impregnated during her resurrection by Ben Solo and thus was the source of the name "Skywalker"? I assume clones would be involved? or the WBW?

 

Once a young woman, Slave Cindel somehow from afar witnesses a Force experiment by Plagueis and Sidious to create the Sithari but instead of creating out of thin air/the Force, it merely pulls Rey's flowwalking soul from the future into the past and into young Cindel/Shmi and the pregnancy hops along. Done

I wish the Ewoks Movies was set during Legacy Comics Era in 100 ABY instead of OT/New Republic Era

 

I like the Wicket is an immortal child, ala Claudia

But that would mess up every other piece of continuity, so no.

 

@TalonCard have you read the Ewoks short stories from Germany that were finally translated a few months ago? Any thoughts on how well they fit with the rest of the Ewoks canon?
