The Scary 'Star Wars' Detail Fans Missed: It Makes Ewoks Look Less Cute and Fluffy

Still from the movie 'Star Wars: Episode Vi - Return Of The Jedi' (1983)

The charming creatures turned out to be quite bloodthirsty.

Star Wars is not just a space opera full of fun and exciting adventures. But also an entire universe in which you can find many mysteries, contradictions and unexpected details that excite fans. One of these moments was the finale of the original trilogy – Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

At first glance, the film ends with a triumph: the Empire is defeated, the heroes celebrate their victory, and the audience enjoys a happy ending. However, this story has one curious and slightly shocking nuance that often goes unnoticed. We are talking about the cute and fluffy Ewoks, who, despite their charming appearance, demonstrate far from harmless behavior.

Even though the Ewoks joined the fight against the Empire, these guys did not become cheerful good-natured creatures. In one of the episodes, a shaggy alien uses the helmet of a defeated enemy as a musical instrument. The moment raises a logical question: what happened to the owner of the equipment, did the Ewoks let him go?

The topic was developed in the animated series Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. In one of the scenes, Leia Organa revealed the truth to the audience, asking the Ewoks... not to eat stormtroopers anymore.
