Trebla Trebla , a male Jinda , was a magic ian and a member of the Travelling Jindas troupe that wandered across the Forest Moon of Endor in the year 3 ABY . Originally farmers who lived in the domain of the moon ' s Rock Wizard , Trebla and his kin were forced into a nomadic lifestyle after the Wizard lost a tooth and blamed the Jindas for his consequent pain . They traveled across Endor and performed for various audiences , all the while on the run from the Wizard ' s curse , which caused large rocks to attack them if they remained sedentary for too long a time . Trebla wowed crowds by apparently levitating his assistants , who were in fact pulled into the air by ropes and harnesses . Circa 3 . 5 ABY , Trebla and the rest of the Travelling Jindas performed for the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village , and a young Ewok stowaway named Latara afterward became the magician ' s assistant . Trebla helped rescue her when she was kidnapped by a tribe of Duloks , and not long after she returned to her village , the Rock Wizard ' s curse caught up to the Jindas when large floating rocks pursued them after they relaxed near a waterfall for several days . A chance encounter with Latara and another rescue , that time from a group of Skandit s , brought Trebla and his troupe back to Bright Tree Village , where the Rock Wizard confronted them and learned the true source of his pain . Realizing his mistake , he freed the Jindas from their curse . Biography . Newly nomadic . Trebla was a male Jinda who lived among a group of his species on the Forest Moon of Endor years before 4 ABY . Their home was an agricultural settlement that fell in the domain of the Rock Wizard , a Force - sensitive being who protected the Jindas in exchange for food obtained from their farming . One day , Trebla and four other Jindas brought some pie to the Rock Wizard ' s fortress . After losing a tooth during his meal , their protector inferred from the pain that the Jindas had attempted to poison him , and Trebla and the others fled the fortress as the pie was thrown back at them . The Rock Wizard subsequently banished the Jindas from their home and cursed them : if they ever returned or remained in one place for too long , the Jindas would be attacked by large rocks . During a rainfall , Trebla and the others left their home on a caravan of awor s — beasts they had formerly used to plow fields — and , suddenly nomadic , set themselves up as the Travelling Jindas . Trebla became a magic ian among entertainer s who journeyed throughout Endor ' s forests and performed for audiences that they encountered , asking only for food and one night ' s lodging in return . In the latter half of 3 ABY , the Travelling Jindas arrived at the Ewok settlement of Bright Tree Village . Trebla and some of his fellows dismounted from the caravan and watched as Bondo , their chief , convinced the leaders of the village to allow them to perform . The Jindas then set up a stage and put on a show ; when Trebla ' s act came on , he waved his hands and made it appear as if his assistant — who actually wore a harness attached to ropes — levitated above the stage . The Ewok audience was captivated by his " powers . " At the performance ' s end , the entire company returned to the stage as Bondo said goodnight . The Travelling Jindas slept in tents around the village that night and set off the next morning with a stowaway : the young Ewok Latara , who felt that her flute - playing abilities would be better suited to the Jindas ' lifestyle . A troublesome assistant . That night , the group came across sleeping tree goats and set up another show . Bondo recruited Latara to be Trebla ' s assistant , and the two Jindas fit her with a harness before taking the stage . When Bondo introduced Trebla , he waved his hands to make the young Ewok " levitate , " but a tree goat took a bite out of one of her ropes , forcing Latara to grab onto a nearby branch and lower herself back onto the stage . The lethargic audience failed to take notice of the entire performance , let alone the slip - up , and the dejected Jindas left the next morning without their hoped - for tips . Latara was kidnapped that day by two Duloks , but four of her Ewok friends caught up to the Jindas and convinced them to perform for the Dulok tribe that night in order to mount a rescue . They took their caravan to the Dulok Swamp , where the Dulok Queen Urgah eagerly consented to a performance . When Trebla was brought on stage , Bondo called for an audience volunteer and immediately picked Latara , whom the Dulok King Gorneesh was forcing to babysit his three unruly children . Bondo distracted the gathered Duloks as Trebla fit Latara with a harness , the ropes to be pulled by her friends , who were positioned above the stage . Trebla ' s attempts at faux - telekinesis were thwarted by a knot in one of the ropes , and as Latara played her flute to stall for time , the other Ewoks worked to untie the problem snag . The rowdy crowd responded by throwing fruit , which prompted Trebla and Bondo to vacate the stage ; the other Ewoks in turn crashed onto the stage and were forced to flee from Gorneesh ' s soldiers . The Jindas quickly packed up and left themselves . After making camp in a nearby clearing , they were joined by the five Ewoks , who had managed to escape from their pursuers . Having had a change of heart , Latara decided to return home with her friends . The curse catches up . Not long afterward , the Travelling Jindas made camp by a waterfall for some relaxation . On three consecutive days , Trebla reminded Bondo of the Rock Wizard ' s curse and suggested that they move on , but the comfortable chief repeatedly shrugged off his concerns . After his third snub , a frustrated Trebla wandered into the forest , where he spied several large floating rocks . He shouted to his comrades that the curse was upon them , and the Jindas quickly packed up and left . They shortly came upon a group of Skandit s , and when they dismounted from the caravan to promote their show , Trebla and Bondo overheard a familiar flute melody . Latara and her friends were imprisoned by the Skandits in the trunk of a tree , and when Trebla and Bondo ' s attempts to communicate with the Ewoks were met with hostility by the Skandits , they walked away to plan both the show and a prison break . During the evening ' s performance , two dancers approached the prison ' s two Skandit guards and incapacitated them by rubbing cloths in their faces . Trebla used the opportunity to release the Ewoks and provide them with a large stage costume as a disguise . He told them to make their way to waiting awors , but a side trip across the stage caused both the costume and the ruse to collapse . Ewoks and Jindas alike fled from the angry Skandits , and the awor caravan arrived at Bright Tree Village the next day . The Ewok Chief Chirpa thanked the Jindas for bringing Latara and her friends safely home , but the mirth and merriment were interrupted by large approaching rocks . The Jindas were given refuge in the treetop village , and as the floating rocks maintained a groundside vigil , Bondo told the Ewoks the tale of the Rock Wizard ' s curse . Logray , the village ' s shaman , invoked the power of the Light Spirit and called upon vines from the forest to wrap around the rocks and tie them in place . Trebla , Bondo , and several of the Ewoks then descended to the ground , but a celebration was forestalled by the appearance of a fissure in the forest floor , out of which rose the Rock Wizard . Trebla and Bondo cowered on the ground , and when the Wizard demanded to know who had countered his magic , the two Jindas immediately pointed out Logray . The Rock Wizard was unswayed by the shaman ' s attempts at reasoning , and he used his magic to create more fissures in the ground , one of which sprouted a tall tree that crashed through and destroyed part of the Ewok village . His terror ceased only when he spotted his missing tooth , worn on a string around the neck of the Ewok Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka . Kintaka had believed it to be a " lucky stone , " but she returned it to the Wizard , who placed it in his mouth and immediately realized that it had been the true source of his pain . Trebla and Bondo stood up from their cowering as the Rock Wizard happily declared that the Jindas could return to their home , and the magician joined in a round of good - natured laughter . Personality and traits . As the Travelling Jindas ' magician , Trebla dazzled audiences with his skills in " levitation , " which were in fact parlor tricks achieved by the use of ropes and harnesses . He wore magician ' s garb from head to toe that included a purple hat and robes as well as blue gloves . Trebla sported the outfit at all times , even when the Jindas were not performing , and during the time that they worked as farmers . Only Trebla ' s black - pupiled eyes and long brown hair were visible to others . The Rock Wizard ' s curse was a worry of Trebla ' s , and when his fellows chose to remain sedentary , indifference toward his lone voice of dissent caused him to frustratedly mutter to himself . He displayed no bravery when confronted with the curse , fleeing from attacking rocks , cowering in front of the Rock Wizard , and immediately fingering Logray as the person who had countered the Wizard ' s magic . However , Trebla helped Latara escape from both the Skandits and the Duloks . He took something of a shine to his temporary assistant , referring to her as the Jindas ' favorite Ewok . Behind the scenes . Trebla appears in " The Travelling Jindas " and " The Curse of the Jindas , " two episodes of the " " animated television series that first aired in October 1985 . Both episodes were written by Bob Carrau and directed by Raymond Jafelice , and the former was released on DVD in 2004 as part of " Tales from the Endor Woods " , a compilation of four " Ewoks " episodes . The DVD subtitles reveal the correct spelling of the character ' s name . Although he does not have any lines in " The Travelling Jindas , " Trebla was voiced by Alan Fawcett in " The Curse of the Jindas " , although uncredited . In both episodes , Trebla ' s appearance is disguised by his hat and robes , but this article assumes he is a Jinda due to his Jinda - like hair and numerous references to his troupe being composed of Jindas . Similarly , Trebla ' s sex is never explicitly revealed , but this article treats the character as a male due to the contrast between his masculine voice and the more feminine voices of several female Jindas .
