The Only Lego Set You Will Enjoy Destroying More Than Building It

I guess this had to happen sooner or later: Lego’s latest and greatest Star Wars megaset is not an awesome spaceship, a short astromech or a moon-sized metal ball that makes death. No, my dear friends, this $250 1,990-piece set is the Ewok Village. https://gizmodo.com/exclusive-the-new-gigantic-lego-imperial-shuttle-5565333 https://gizmodo.com/exclusive-lego-r2-d2-is-the-lego-set-you-must-get-this-5894057 https://gizmodo.com/3-800-piece-death-star-diorama-is-coolest-star-wars-leg-5018137 For that price, you get to build “a…

The 12 Worst Things in the Star Wars Expanded Universe

Given that many things in the authentic Star Wars universe are terrible, it should be no surprise that many things in the Expanded Universe — those tales from the novels, comics, cartoons and all other non-movie Star Wars entities — are also terrible. But since the Expanded Universe is so damn big, its wretchedness reaches…

A Treasure Trove of Awesome Old-School Star Wars Costumes

Nowadays there are entire cosplay communities devoted to dressing up as Star Wars characters, but folks in the late 1970s and early 1980s didn’t have the internet for immediate pointers. No, they had to rely on magazine photos, half-remembered scenes from the Original Trilogy, and pure craft-store grit. And the Flickr group “Growing Up Star…

Good morning, here is your recommended daily allowance of Ewok terror

Have you ever imagined what would happen if the Ewoks sang The Cranberries? Certainly, such a universal musing is shared by all members of the human race, but Alex Kropinak has actually gone so far as to render this tableau in this blissfully stupid animation. Not going to lie, on my fifth re-watch here. Hat…

10 Alien Species from Star Wars Who Became Jedi Knights

Becoming a Jedi Knight is not unlike being conscripted into the Mickey Mouse Club. You need a fresh face, a pleasant demeanor, preternatural “it factor,” and voilà! You’re suddenly living inside a space ziggurat with Samuel L. Jackson. And just like the Mickey Mouse Club, the Jedi Order accepts Padawans from all across the galaxy.…

In the Return of the Jedi novel, Wicket the Ewok delivered an unusually beautiful speech

If you’ve ever seen Return of the Jedi, you probably walked away with the impression that the Ewoks are only capable of hoots, hollers, and the occasional “yub nub.” Such was not the case in the 1983 novelization of the film, wherein Wicket the Ewok convinces the Ewoks to aid the Rebels with a galvanizing…

This Ewok village gingerbread diorama is too awesome to eat

Something tells me the Ewoks may have gone over better if the forest moon of Endor (and all of its denizens) were made out of gingerbread and a metric ton of fondant. Also, the Empire’s machinations might have actually worked if they constructed the Death Star entirely out of Rice Krispies Treats. This ridiculously complex…

A Dad Photoshopped Ewoks Into His Family Pictures to Convince His Kids Ewoks Were Real

I think I’m giving Anthony Herrera the dad of the year title. Why? Because when he brought his kids to Sequoia National Park he told them Ewoks lived there. Of course, his kids ended up being disappointed when they didn’t see any Ewoks there. But don’t worry! Herrera added Ewoks to the background of his…

Sunday Matinee: “Return of the Ewok,” a bizarre Ewok promotional film from 1982

In 1982, a 15-year-old Warwick Davis starred in a short promotional video about his tryout for Return of the Jedi.

Given that the mockumentary was scrapped in post-production, copies of Return of the Ewok are incredibly…

This Is Why You Shouldn’t Put Drunk Ewoks On Live TV

In honor of Halloween, the Today Show had a Star Wars themed episode.

According to the Warming Glow, there’s confirmation that the people inside Ewok costumes were genuinely drunk,…
