A recent project reveals what became of the Ewoks after Return of the Jedithe George Lucas film released in 1986. No respite for the cubs, who once again have their work cut out for them to protect their planet.
Marvel’s Ewoks #1, the series on the Ewoks in honor of their 40th anniversary
Without the help of these intrepid little allies that are the Ewoks, Luke Skywalker, his sister Leia, Han Solo and the entire rebellion would never have overcome the Empire in 4 after BY, during the Battle of Endor.
After the destruction of the second Death Star in the sixth installment of the Star Wars saga, it was thought that the story around the Ewoks would come to its conclusion. But the lore around the very distant galaxy being extremely rich, even infinite, there are always things to tell, whether in comics or novels. After helping the Rebel Alliance destroy the shield generator on Endor, in order to allow ships to infiltrate the heart of the station-planet, the furballs will once again have to prove their defense capacity. And it is on the side of Marvel’s Ewoks #1 by Steve Orlando, Alvaro Lopez and Laura Braga let it happen.
What can we tell about the discreet forest moon after the fall of the Empire, when the rebels have left for other missions? The writers looked at the vestiges of the Empire which still float on the planet. And since the Empire has not completely disappeared, as we saw in the series The Mandalorianfor example, those who are working – in the shadows – to bring him back, seek to seize caches of weapons left behind.
After Return of the Jedithe Ewoks are once again battling the Empire
As a synopsis of this new comic, we can read: “Having learned that they are not alone in the galaxy, the Ewoks discuss how they should interact when coming into contact with future visitors from other worlds. However, this debate should be less important once they learn that the Empire has returned.
Terrible news for these peaceful people who live in self-sufficiency, since the rebels have left, not thinking for a single second that the moon would have any strategic value in the future. From now on, the Ewoks are alone in facing their destinyand will undoubtedly have to take advantage of their experience with their former allies to survive. Enough to promise great things on paper. Particularly on how they communicate about their war plans. Currently, the series is in its infancy, the first three volumes have just been released, the rest is scheduled for January 29, 2025. Star Wars aficionados can welcome familiar faces like Wicket, Leia's companion, as well as the introduction of new heroes. The designer Steve Orlando did a little tease for the launch of the Comics series in honor of 40 years of adventures of the forest people. “Today, as an adult, it is a real challenge and an honor to bring new Ewoks to Bright Tree Village, but not only that. There's a lot more to Endor that we'll see for the first time since the series. It’s a powerful world, a powerful ecosystem, and we’re going to explore it like never before!”
