Be sure to remove the fur before you toss the Ewok in. Burning Ewok fur smells terrible.

Worse than wet Ewok fur?

My kids love Ewoks.

Much worse.

You could try Wookies, but the always come out a little chewie.

So bad it's good.

Quote from: Dumarest;979362Isn't that rather easy to do? Just discount the material you don't like and make up whatever you want. That's what I do. When I play Star Wars I like to set it right after Star Wars (aka A New Hope) and disregard all other films and incorporate material from the first few years of the Marvel comics. That universe is so much better than anything George Lucas did...!

I could, but the Star Wars universe is so freakin' big that I don't have to ignore the movies and still have the adventuring with a lower case "a".

Of all the things that Star Wars has inflicted on me, Ewoks and Gungans are the most unforgiveable. They are the equivalent of Kender or Malkavians because they attract players who just want to screw around while everybody else gets on with the game.

WEG gave us the Squibs. They were worse than both Gungans and Ewoks in the exact manner you mention.

I was always able to hide the Squibs and Ugor from players since they weren't in the movies, which I just couldn't do with the Ewoks and Gungans.

I feel the temptation of the Dark Side beckoning me to GM Star Wars where genocidal-type things happen to gungans and ewoks, and nothing in Episode VII happens or exists.

I imagine I'm lucky not to be sure what a Kender or a Malkavian is.

The more people complain about Ewoks, the more I know they love them. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks," as somebody wrote somewhere sometime for some reason.

Also: you don't have to ignore all the bad, bad Star War  movies, but why wouldn't you?

Even from the bad, bad can come some good. I am not a fan of the prequels, but those led into The Clone Wars TV series which has got some great stuff in it.

Plus, the bonus is that most of these NPCs, droids, starships, and equipment from them have been statted out by d6 WEG fans already which saves me a lot of time.

The ewoks perish in the Endor Holocaust in my Star Wars Universe.

Gungans are a bit special....

I imagine that the Emperor will be wanting some assurance against assassination attempts while consolidating his power, so he has made Jar Jar Binks a Hero of the Empire for putting forth the motion before the senate to give him full executive power. Jar Jar is now an Imperial Representative without portfolio at large and is often sent out with a well-publicized itinerary to try and negotiate for people to accept Imperial Rule. In actuality, Jar Jar is bait, sent to attract assassins who want revenge against the Empire. There is a low to mid level Inquisitor assigned to protect Jar Jar and kill off any would be assassins (although many Inquisitors do feel that this is a punishment assignment). The Emperor finds the whole situation he has created to be, amusing.

Of course, the people who want Jar Jar assassinated the most come from a minor gungan colony established during the years between the Naboo blockade by the Trade Federation and start of the Clone Wars. Which just makes another target to be destroyed when appropriate.

Poor Ewoks. Outperform the fan-favorite Boba Fett and the Imperial stormtroopers and  still get no respect.

Me, I like to think that inside the stormtrooper helmets that the Ewoks use as drums at the end of RotJ are the boiled skulls of the helmet's owners.

Well, you have to wonder what happened to the woman who was wearing Leia's native dress before Leia......
