Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka was a female Ewok who served as Princess of Bright Tree Village , daughter of Chief Chirpa and Ra - Lee , and younger sister to Asha . Later , she became the Chieftainess of Bright Tree Village and wife of Wicket Wystri Warrick . In her youth , she was part of the same circle of friends that included Wicket , Paploo , Teebo , and Latara . The young Ewoks had many adventures on the forest moon of Endor , involving such creatures as Gupin s , Yuzzums , Duloks , and Morag the Tulgah witch . Kneesaa , who had lost her mother and sister while she was young , often wished for their return , though she was not lonely due to her friends . She was known as the more mature Ewok in the group , and was often seen as a voice of reason . This did not stop the adventures her friends went on , and she joined them , though she was in training to become the chieftainess of Bright Tree Village . Kneesaa sometimes challenged her father on controversial topics , such as the lighting of the Tree of Light , in which she and Latara secretly participated . Kneesaa was reunited with her sister , Asha , after finding her in the middle of the night while she sneaked out . Her father , Chief Chirpa , was overjoyed to his daughter once again . Later , danger struck the Ewok village — incoming Imperials and an Imperial scientist , Raygar , captured the Ewoks ' precious Sunstar . Raygar used it to try to kill Emperor Palpatine , but Wicket caused Raygar to miss Palpatine ' s shuttle , and Kneesaa retrieved the Sunstar , freed Wicket and defeated Raygar with her partner . The Sunstar was later destroyed during a battle against the Imperials and the Griagh near Endor shield generator bunker . Endor remained occupied by the Empire until the Battle of Endor , in which the Empire was defeated . Kneesaa later married Wicket Wystri Warrick , and ruled Bright Tree Village with him after her father ' s death . Biography . Early life . Childhood . When Kneesaa was just a wokling , she , her mother Ra - Lee , and her older sister Asha were attacked by a hanadak in the forest . When her father Chief Chirpa came later , only Kneesaa remained ; Ra - Lee was dead , and there was no trace of Asha , except her torn cloak . Chirpa raised Kneesaa by himself , though despite growing up an only child , and frequently wishing she could see her sister again , Kneesaa was not lonely . As Kneesaa grew up , she became close friends with her childhood sweetheart Wicket ( a young scout who dreamed of becoming an Ewok warrior ) , Teebo ( another young scout who had special abilities of becoming a wizard ) , and her best friend Latara ( a young flutist and a potential hoodmaker ) . More mature than her three friends , she frequently advised them when they were getting themselves into in trouble or embarking on foolish adventures . During their adventures during her childhood years , Kneesaa was often seen wearing a blue gem on her hood , which was given to her by Asha as a gift the day she disappeared . The first attack of Phlogs . On one occasion , when Kneesaa and Wicket were picking berries in the forest , they stumbled upon two creatures attempting to cut down the forest ' s trees . When they brought this news to the Council of Elders , the Elders were somewhat skeptical of the children , but decided to send out a scouting party the next day . Unsatisfied with the decision of the Council , the young Ewoks turned to the shaman Logray , who told them the creatures were Phlog s of Simoom . Logray gave them a white powder which they were able to use on the Phlogs to make them run back to their own land and leave the Ewoks ' forest alone . During the celebration that day , both Wicket and Kneesaa were made honorary members of the Council of Elders . The midsummer festival . The annual midsummer festival was another special time for the Ewoks , as they would participate in contests to show what they could do best . Wicket encouraged Kneesaa to enter the basket - weaving contest , but she felt that she would rather enter a competition in which she wasn ' t so experienced . When she expressed interest in the archery contest , an event which Wicket intended to win , he revealed to Kneesaa his sexist views on females in athletics . When Kneesaa entered the contest anyway , Wicket continued to put her down and promote his chauvinistic viewpoint . Still determined , Kneesaa entered the vine - swinging contest and then inadvertently got herself into the dangerous Log Ride Contest , and won . This impressed Wicket , so much so that he apologized to Kneesaa , realizing that girls could in fact be good at sports . Kneesaa then suggested that Wicket might perhaps win the next year ' s basket - weaving contest . Making magic potions . One summer , the Duloks ( a rival tribe of the Ewoks ) sabotaged a dam , trying to flood the forest and the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village and to destroy their trees . The renowned Ewok woodcutter Chukha - Trok felled a gigantic tree , and it stopped the water , giving the Ewoks a chance to repair the dam . But the sound of water echoed through a vast cavern beneath the forest floor , waking up the Kradak , a giant beast that had been hibernating there for thousands of years . The big creature opened a huge hole and appeared from the ground . The creature started to crash some trees with each swing of its terrible neck . Chief Chirpa was terrified , fearing that the Kradak could destroy the village by simply crashing the support tree . The first shaman Logray ran to his hut , but a branch fell from a tree and knocked him out . Kneesaa knelt over him and , when she realized that Logray wasn ' t seriously hurt , darted into the shaman ' s hut . The Princess had watched Logray mixing some magic potions , and tried to make one than could be used against the Kradak . When Kneesaa finished a first potion , she ran out , clasping a bowl of steaming green liquid . But while she was still on the high level of the village , Kneesaa stumbled , splashing the potion over all the Ewoks on the ground fighting the beast . That was a sleeping potion . Every Ewok became unconscious , except Kneesaa and her friends Wicket and Teebo . Quickly , Kneesaa returned to Logray ' s hut , made another potion ( that was yellow ) and returned to his two friends with the potion ' s bowl , flowing the liquid over the Kradak . The beast started to shrink , becoming smaller than an Ewok ' s hand . This time , Kneesaa made a shrinkroot potion . Shortly , the other Ewoks returned to their senses , Kneesaa and Wicket built a tiny cage for the little beast , and the couple and Teebo celebrated their victory . Saved by Wicket and Teebo . Kneesaa , Wicket and Teebo began to pick berries as a hobby . However , during one of these outings , Kneesaa stepped on the poisonous nightshade thorn . Immediately taking her to the village , it was announced that Kneesaa could only be saved if they had sunnydew nectar from the sunnydew flower — which Bright Tree Village was completely depleted of . Wicket and Teebo , learning of this , set out to find the nectar from the only available source , an Ogre named Gantu . They eventually were able to claim some nectar , although not from Gantu , and saved Kneesaa . The chieftainess - to - be training years . Heiress of chieftain . At a celebration for her birthday , Kneesaa received some very special gifts . One was a baby bordok whom Wicket and Teebo had spent many weeks training for her ; she named him Baga . Another gift was one her father presented her : a ruling staff made from a branch of the Gemwood tree . Chirpa announced that if should anything ever happen to him , Kneesaa would become the new ruler of the village . This did not sit well with some of the elders ; First Elder Kazak spoke out , saying that all Ewok leaders had always been men , and that " the leader of the Ewoks should at least be sturdy enough to carry a spear into battle ! " This deeply troubled Kneesaa , but she was given an opportunity to prove herself soon enough : when a group of Zorbian space pirates led by Captain Krag attacked the village to steal the Gemwood tree , she led the women and children Ewoks and defeated the Zorbians without a single Ewok being harmed . Her father was very proud of her , as were Kazak and the other elders . They admitted that they were wrong and said that Kneesaa would be , and already was , a strong leader . Fight for a sacred wood . Chief Chirpa later declared Kneesaa , Wicket , and Teebo the guests of honor for the harvest ceremony . The distinction allowed them journey to a location on Endor where the mountains and the forest met , a location Wicket had scouted before , to harvest the special light wood the Ewoks used to make their hang glider s . Upon their arrival , they discovered that the trees had already been harvested by the Quork s . Upon trying to escape , Wicket was captured by a devil beast . The Quorks then presented Wicket and the harvested wood as gifts to their king , Marlox . The king ordered Wicket to build a glider for him , but Wicket refused and insulted the king . Wicket was then sentenced to solitary confinement in a cell with no food or water . Left behind , Kneesaa and Teebo searched for Wicket . Before Wicket was even put into his cell , his two friends attempted to rescue him , but they failed and all three Ewoks were instead imprisoned . Marlox later forced the Ewok boys to build him a glider by threatening Kneesaa ' s life if they didn ' t . The Ewoks outsmarted the king by building a him a glider that would not fly , and they rescued Kneesaa and returned home with the sacred wood for the harvest ceremony . Saving a baby foonar . Kneesaa and Wicket were out in the forest one day when they were encountered by Dooni , a baby foonar who had been separated from his mother . As they went to search for the missing mother , Wicket fell into large hole in the ground and injured his ankle . The hole , he surmised , was intended for foonars ; after Kneesaa rescued Wicket , they soon found further evidence with a prodding rod , although Wicket was able to use the rod as a crutch to relieve his injured ankle . The couple soon discovered the ship of the foonar - capturing invaders , and Wicket quickly climbed up the outside of the ship and observed the goings on inside . But the ship ' s thin viewport was not only unable to block sound waves , but it also could not withstand the weight of a small Ewok , for Wicket shattered the window and fell though it and into the ship . After a quick skirmish with the aliens , Wicket was able to escape through the window from which he came . The aliens decided that one Ewok was no threat to them , but they had underestimated Wicket Warrick . He knew all about the aliens ' plans to utilize the foonars to power their " harvester " to cut down the trees of the forest . Wicket and Kneesaa wasted no time in hijacking the harvester machine , and while Kneesaa was fighting the alien invaders , Wicket demonstrated his technological prowess by engaging the blade and pointing the machine towards the invaders ' own ship . As the aliens fled the moon , Dooni ' s mother destroyed the harvester and was reunited with her child . Some days after , Kneesaa was unable to convince Wicket not to steal Logray ' s staff , to show Kneesaa and Teebo some magic tricks he was learning from the shaman . The Ice Demon Stagorr was watching the young Ewoks via his magical ice mirror . When Wicket used the staff to summon a cool freeze from the Ice Mountain , Stagorr tricked Wicket into summoning a wind tunnel from there and inadvertently transporting Wicket into the heart of the mountain . When Kneesaa and Teebo told Logray what happened , the old shaman departed to save Wicket from the Stagorr . Mount Sorrow . When Teebo was put under the Perilous Laughing Spell , Kneesaa and Wicket soon learned that the only cure to reverse the unusual spell was the tears of the sentient mountain Mount Sorrow . After journeying with Wicket and Teebo to the mountain , they eventually were able to converse with the Mountain . After much trouble , Teebo decided that he would rather stay under the spell then risk something happening to his friends . Sorrow was very moved at this statement and wept for Teebo . Helping Chief Chirpa to fight the Kreegon . One day , Chief Chirpa departed alone to fight the Kreegon , a deceased , dangerous and big predator turned back to life by Morag ' s magic . After seeing the reborn monster through Logray ' s crystal image spinner , Kneesaa decided to help her father . Wicket offered himself to go with her , and the two young Ewoks departed together . Some hours later , the couple found and freed Chirpa ( who was trapped by Morag ) , and the three Ewoks departed to find the Kreegon . The Kreegon was found destroying some trees and going to the Bright Tree Village . The predator was under Morag ' s sorcery , and didn ' t see the Ewoks calling him . So , Kneesaa threw Logray ' s amulet against the monster , making a explosion that attracted the monster ' s attention . The Kreegon started to persecute the three Ewoks . They followed Chirpa ' s plan : when they found Morag again , the three Ewoks jumped to escape from Morag ' s blast . The witch hit the Kreegon ' s eye , and the predator returned to be a skeleton . The Kreegon ' s bones covered Morag , and Chirpa , Kneesaa and Wicket went back home . R2 - D2 and C - 3PO . The morning of the day upon which the Ewoks were to seal a peace treaty with their longtime foes the Duloks , Wicket and Kneesaa spotted a blazing object falling from the sky . The couple followed Chirpa into Logray ' s hut , where the shaman read from his fortune stones that the blinding light was a sign of good fortune for that special day . Wicket was among the party who ventured to the swamp where the object had crashed . The other Ewoks began to flee when the object , an escape pod , started to move , but Wicket stayed behind when the alien " Star Child " emerged from the pod . The then delighted Ewoks fed the child honey and began to take him back to their village . However , when Wicket and Kneesaa heard a strange sound , they returned to the crash site and saw two droids , C - 3PO and R2 - D2 , which they assumed were demons . When the droids pursued them , the Ewoks ran , but in his haste Wicket tripped the wire of a Dulok trap , bringing down a boulder large enough to crush both the Ewoks and the droids . The group was saved , however , when R2 - D2 extended his third tread to stand on and used his other two legs to catch the boulder over their heads and toss it aside . When C - 3PO explained to Wicket and Kneesaa in their own language that their " Star Child , " Prince Plooz , was not a good omen for the Ewok / Dulok treaty but rather a rebellious prince and the key to preventing interplanetary war , Wicket surmised that the trap they had just escaped meant the Duloks were not actually sincere about the proposed peace treaty . Kneesaa , Wicket and the droids returned to Bright Tree Village warn the tribe , only to learn that the Peace Council had already left with Prince Plooz to meet with the Duloks . By the time Wicket , Kneesaa , and the droids reached the bridge where the two parties were to meet , Gorneesh , the Dulok king , had already kidnapped young Plooz and was having his men sever the ropes of the bridge while the Ewoks where still on it . However , when Ibleam ' s light shone on the highly reflective C - 3PO and the Duloks saw him approaching , they feared he was a glowing Ewok demon , so they abandoned their attack . Wicket then realized that C - 3PO was the figure of Logray ' s prophecy , not the Star Child as they had previously thought . When young Plooz attempted to cross the unstable bridge , Wicket , knowing the child would never make it across , grabbed the end of a rope supplied by the ever - resourceful R2 - D2 , tied it around his waist , and jumped off the cliff , grabbing hold of the child just in time . After the astromech reeled the two back up to solid ground , the Ewoks escorted Plooz and the droids back to their starship so that they could return to their own place and time to settle the Alzarian / Sooman conflict . With the Fleebogs . Kneesaa proved her worth once again when she was shrunken and kidnapped by the Fleebog s . Despite the fact that she continued to shrink , she bested the ra - lugg beast and proved to the Fleebog that even small beings could handle big threats . Morag ' s thorn monster . When the shaman Logray chose to take a short vacation , Kneesaa and Wicket helped him carry his things to his vacation spot and volunteered to take care of his herb garden back home . Wicket struggled with the gardening , claiming he was " a scout , not a farmer ! " While Kneesaa warned him about over - watering the plants , Wicket spotted a flash of light from up in the tree huts . Once the duo reached the village , they saw that the witch Morag had come to destroy the Ewoks ; she made a glowing thorn bush sprout from the ground which would grow stronger by drawing up all of the moisture from the ground , eventually killing the forest . As Kneesaa and Wicket went to get Logray back to the village , they ran into Morag ' s beast . First , Wicket slowed the beast by pouring a large jar of honey over it , and then they used vines to tie it to a tree . They finally reached the shaman , but unable to escape from Morag ' s spell , Logray sent his staff with Wicket so that he might stop the growing thorn bush . Along the way , Wicket used the staff to freeze Morag ' s fang - faced beast in midair . When they reached the plant , Wicket tried to stop it with Logray ' s staff , but it was no use ; Morag had transformed the plant into a giant walking thorn monster . As the Ewoks fled , Wicket came up with a way to stop the monster . They headed toward the lake near the hot springs and jumped in for a swim . When the beast followed them into the water , it began expanding so rapidly that it finally exploded ( according Kneesaa ' s advise about over - watering the plants ) , causing a rain fall over the forest . Captain Zornak ' s slave . When Chief Chirpa and Logray must travel to the Spirit Tree to give thanks for the good fortune it was shed on the tribe that year , they raffled Teebo to be the tribe ' s leader for that day . But Teebo failed on his job , and left the village to escape from the villager ' s fury . Some minutes later , an alien creature , Captain Zornak , arrived and offered Kneesaa and Wicket some crystals as gifts . But the crystals were magic , and turned the couple to be Zornak ' s slaves . So they helped Zornak to give magic crystals for all the villagers . Zornak and his travelers planned to order the enslaved Ewoks to mine them Endorian gems and left Endor with them on board their spaceship . When Teebo returned , he saw the village all deserted . Some minutes later , he discovered all the true about Kneesaa and the other ' s slavering . Later , Teebo freed Wicket , and the two forced Zornak to free Kneesaa and the others and left Endor with his travelers . Kneesaa , the Elder . Sometimes , Kneesaa acted like an Elder , suggested by her father and other real Elders . On one occasion , while she and Wicket were bathing the pet bordok Baga , Paploo invited them and Teebo to a " relaxing " game of drop the sack . Kneesaa refused , and left the three boys alone with their " stupid game . " Some hours later , when the Wistie s , under a spell by Morag , started a forest fire near Bright Tree Village , Kneesaa helped the three boys and Latara save the trees , dousing them with Logray ' s magic foam as she and her friends flew over them on their hang glider s . The Ewoks had a little help of Queen Izrina and other Wisties uncursed by the magic foam . Joining Wicket ' s jobs . Again out picking sunberries with Kneesaa , Wicket saved her from the grip of a mantigrue which they later learned was on a mission from Morag to steal their sunberry trees . Although Wicket wanted to help the Ewoks with their plan to turn the trees invisible by way of shadowroot soap , he was instead given babysitting duty , a job which included taking woklings to their baths . Kneesaa offered herself to help Wicket on the duty , attracting the woklings ' sympathy . Some Duloks watching nearby then conceived of a plot to steal the Ewoks ' bathing soap to rid themselves of their bug problem . Upon his return to the village , Wicket found that many of the trees were invisible , but since Logray had forgotten about those near the river , Kneesaa , Wicket and the children volunteered to coat them with shadowroot soap . When the Duloks stole soap from Bright Tree Village , they got rid of more than just bugs , for they had taken the shadowroot soap by accident . While the Ewoks were covering the trees by the river , Kneesaa and Wicket heard the Duloks ' voices as they passed by , but did not see anything . But when they returned to the Woklings , they found that they had got what was left of the soap all over themselves rather than the trees . The couple returned to the village to report that they had not gotten every tree covered . Kneesaa discovered some Dulok footprints , and so the Ewoks learned of the Duloks ' scheme upon conferring with Logray . The shaman later had Wicket , Kneesaa and their friends go out and gather bugs . Then , Wicket was sent on a mission to sneak among the Duloks and replace their soap with a new one made by Logray that would " attract " bugs . While Wicket was found by King Gorneesh , he eventually succeeded in swapping the soap . While the Duloks was taking bath with the magic soap , Kneesaa and Latara freed some bugs , that attacked the Duloks . However , after the Duloks were dealt with , Wicket realized he had dropped the magic soap into a puddle . After regretting that he had failed his tribe , and under Kneesaa ' s consolation , Wicket bagged up a portion of the puddle and sprinkled the liquid over the remaining visible bushes while he swung from a vine . The mantigrue returned to the village , but it left when it did not see any sunberries . Return of the Phlogs . Kneesaa and Latara were the first to spot the return of the Phlogs to the Ewoks ' land . When Kneesaa recounted the tale to the Council of Elders , Wicket observed carefully . But at the same time , Teebo ' s younger sister Malani began expressing a romantic interest in Wicket . Later , with his close friends , Wicket mocked Malani and made clear his lack of interest in her . Kneesaa didn ' t show jealousy , but questioned Wicket ' s hard words about Malani . But the young Malani overheard from nearby and became deeply hurt . As the four teen Ewoks continued to play , a small munyip communicated to Teebo about Malani , and that she had run off into the forest . Now concerned , the four went off to find Malani , which took a special urgency when the Phlogs suddenly on the rampage for some reason . During this , they were persecuted by the Phlogs , but escaped . While Wicket and Teebo were alone , searching for Malani , Kneesaa and Latara told Chirpa and Logray about the new Phlogs ' attack , who were claiming the Ewoks had kidnapped Nahkee , their lost youngest son . On the top of a steep rock , the four Ewoks were talking and watching the Phlogs , who were on the floor . Zut found the four Ewoks , and throwed some big stones against them , crashing the steep rock and making the girls drop down there . But Logray used his magic to turn a tree like a giant hand , and it saved the two young Ewoks . Out of Phlogs ' view , Kneesaa asked Latara to find Nahkee , the giant baby Phlog . Some minutes later , Kneesaa and Latara were arrested by some Dulok scouts , and were taken to the Dulok swamp , where Wicket , Teebo , Malani and Nahkee were already arrested . Nahkee , it turned out , was merely a pawn in an elaborate plot by Morag and the Duloks . The Ewoks , now held captive by King Gorneesh , plotted their escape , and Wicket apologized to Malani for hurting her feelings . Kneesaa started to hum a lullaby that her deceased mother sang to her and Asha some years earlier . Lady Urgah ordered Kneesaa to sing the same lullaby to the Duloks , and the young Princess started to sing with the sound of Latara ' s flute . So Nahkee and all the Duloks slept . The Ewoks then succeeded in fleeing the Duloks and were able to reunite Nahkee with his parents , thereby foiling the Duloks ' plot and having them suffer Morag ' s wrath . A day with the Warricks . Kneesaa became a good friend of all members of Warrick family . One day , the Princess was enjoying a fishing day with Deej and his three sons Wicket Wystri Warrick ( Kneesaa ' s sweetheart since their childhood ) , Weechee and Willy . Suddenly , Deej and the other Ewoks all struggled to pull in the huge fish Deej had hooked . The Ewoks all soon fell back as the fish got away . Deej fell harder than the others and cut his arm on a deadly Rokna tree fungus . The Ewoks took Deej to the medicine man Logray who sent the Warrick brothers off to find the ingredients needed for their father ' s cure . Kneesaa stayed in the Warricks ' hut with Logray , the sick Deej , his wife Shodu and the younger child Winda . When the Warrick brothers returned with the needed ingredients , the three and the ladies waited around Deej while Logray concocted the healing potion . Logray then brought Deej back to health , much to the Warrick family and Kneesaa ' s delight . Traveling with the Jindas . Kneesaa , Wicket , Teebo and Paploo were going to look at Paploo ' s new raft , and they invited Latara to join them , but Latara was not allowed to since her parents had been making her clean up their hut . When the Travelling Jindas came to town , Chief Chirpa allowed them to stay at Bright Tree Village and perform their show , which the Ewoks all watched and enjoyed . The next day , Latara decided to stow away with the Jinda travelers and hone her flute skills , and she made Wicket , Kneesaa , and Teebo swear not to tell anyone where she had gone . But the elder Ewoks did learn of Latara ' s disappearance , and fearing the worst , Latara ' s friends departed to find her . Logray gave Kneesaa a magic seed for use in an emergency and sent them on their way . Wicket followed the Jindas ' path by finding scarves and things they ' d left behind , and helped save Kneesaa from a close call on a rickety bridge . They found the Jindas just as a pair of Duloks were kidnapping Latara so that she could babysit the Dulok children . Rather than follow the Duloks , Wicket decided that they should disguise themselves as and perform with the Jindas in a show for the Duloks . When the plan didn ' t go quite as expected and their cover was blown , they ran and were pursued by the Duloks . When Kneesaa got stuck in the swamp and the Duloks closed in , Wicket stopped the Duloks in their tracks by taking the magic seed Logray had given to Kneesaa and throwing it into the water , causing a giant , tentacled creature to emerge from the waters and grab the Duloks . Then , the Ewoks and the Jindas camped around a stake , when Latara told Kneesaa and the others she wanted to go back home , choosing to stay with her Ewok friends , even not having fame and applause . Later , the young Ewoks returned to the village while the Jindas went on their way . Changing more traditions . Before a Light Festival quest to renew the Tree of Light , Kneesaa made more controversial topics of and . The Princess asked to be the one to feed the Tree of Light , joining with Weechee , Willy , Teebo , and her cousin Paploo . But her father Chief Chirpa said that only male young Ewoks have done so in the past . When Kneesaa pleaded for the tradition to be changed , Chirpa refused . Some hours later , Kneesaa , her sweetheart Wicket and her best friend Latara secretly joined the regular expedition to renew the Tree of Light , despite the fact that the three were forbidden because of their ages and the girls ' gender . Fortunately , the trespassers acquitted themselves so well in the successful mission despite the dangerous opposition by the Duloks that they all not only escaped punishment , but were awarded Silver Feathers of Bravery as well . The lucky rock . As the winter seasoned neared , a group of Ewoks ( Kneesaa , Wicket , Weechee , Willy , Paploo , Teebo , and Latara ) were sent off to barter for goods with the trader Mooth . Since Chirpa had warned not to waste the village ' s surplus on anything " foolish , " Wicket had personally collected and polished a bag of monmon seed s to trade for his something of his own . Although the other Ewoks each had their own ideas as to what he should get , Wicket decided to trade for a " lucky " stone , which he gave to Kneesaa , since she was the only other one in the group who liked it . Wicket and Kneesaa were falling in love with each other . The Ewoks soon found themselves short of luck when a group of Skandit s separated them from the wagon of goods and imprisoned them . However , when the Traveling Jindas passed through and learned that their onetime member Latara was in trouble , the Jindas put on a show for the Skandits and helped the Ewoks escape . Then , the Ewoks and the Jindas fled to Bright Tree Village . Paploo and Weechee continued to deride Wicket about his lucky stone while Logray helped rid the Jindas of the Rock Wizard ' s curse which forced them to always be on the move . The Rock Wizard himself then showed up at the village in a destructive rage , but he was stopped when he saw Kneesaa wearing her lucky stone — his missing tooth . Once his tooth was back in place , the Wizard was back to his jolly old self , and he called off the Jindas ' curse . Chief Chirpa asked the Jindas to not forget Kneesaa ' s little help , and Wicket reminded Paploo and Weechee of their comments about the " stupid little rock . " Friend of the Gupins . In an effort to return the favor to Mring - Mring for helping save Deej , Wicket pledged to aid Mring - Mring in his mission to open the Juniper Chest which would renew the Gupin s ' flying and shapeshifting powers so that they could keep the Grass Trekker s away . Kneesaa , Teebo and Paploo joined the mission with Wicket and Mring - Mring . The party traveled the waters by canoe and through the Endorian Grasslands on the backs of Makant s ; all the while Wicket stayed true to his cause and Wicket and Kneesaa ensured Mring - Mring that he had the power to save his people . The three asked to enter Gupin stronghold , but the Gupin scouts refused , telling that a Gupin who left the stronghold could never return . So Kneesaa tried to use her royal credential to convince the scouts , but only Mring - Mring did it , when told he had the key necessary to open the Juniper Chest . Once they reached the Gupin stronghold , Paploo and Wicket helped blockade the doors to keep out the Grass Trekkers . Mring - Mring succeeded in opening the chest , restoring the powers of his people , and taking the throne as their new king . That night , the four Ewoks were honored guests at the Gupin celebration . Morag ' s end . Sometimes later , Teebo became the apprentice of the shaman Logray . Curious to see what kind of magic their friend was up to , Wicket , Kneesaa , and Latara spied on Teebo one day , only to learn that Logray had him doing household chores rather than magic spells . The three friends derided Teebo , so in an effort to prove his sorcerer ' s ways , Teebo took the group out into the forest to show off his magic . But Teebo ' s tricks failed , and Wicket ridiculed him even more . As the Ewoks left Teebo , Wicket heard the sound of a woman singing , and they traced the voice back to a beautiful felinoid in a glistening cave . But all was not as it seemed , for the graceful creature then turned into a familiar old Tulgah and the shining cave turned dark ; the Ewoks had walked into Morag ' s trap . Just as Morag had planned , Logray went to rescue the now enslaved young Ewoks , bringing the Sunstar along with him . Logray was trapped , too , but Kneesaa and Latara fought the Morag ' s Yuzzum guards and freed the shaman . Shortly after this , Morag increased her power by joining the Sunstar with her Shadowstone . She then used her volcanic lair to transform herself into a gigantic lava creature . The young Ewoks watched while she and Logray battled , but the Ewoks prevailed when Logray summoned a gusher of water and turned Morag into stone , thereby ending the threat which had haunted Bright Tree Village for so many years . Solidarity for Wicket . One night , Wicket sounded the village drum and awoke the Ewoks from their beds to tell them the Duloks had stolen his grandfather ' s battle wagon , that Wicket had rebuilt with Malani and Baga ( Wicket ' s brothers and friends , including Kneesaa , didn ' t help him in the rebuilding ) . But the villagers did not share Wicket ' s concern , not even Chief Chirpa . Only Kneesaa was sympathetic to Wicket ' s loss . On the next day , Kneesaa and Latara was enjoying a picnic with some Ewok children , when the Duloks passed onboard Wicket ' s wagon ( with the young Ewok scout in a jail ) and ruined the picnic ' s food . Wicket cried to Kneesaa about Gorneesh ' s plans to destroy the Ewoks ' Soul Tree s . Immediately , Kneesaa ran to tell her father about the Dulok plot . The Ewok warriors failed in defending the Soul Trees , but Malani and Baga saved Wicket and the two Ewoks defeated the Duloks and saved the trees . Three lessons for a leader . As Kneesaa ' s friends partied at an afternoon dance , the Princess left her chieftainess - to - be training lesson at Logray ' s hut to join them . But their dancing was cut short when an ever - growing stranglethorn began wreaking havoc and taking over the village . When Kneesaa realized she was to blame , she set off to gather the three ingredients Logray needed to tame the wild plant . Fearing for Kneesaa ' s safety , Wicket joined her in her journey . The first ingredient was Keet nectar . Kneesaa had an idea : the duo could climb up the Keet ' s palace with leaf - shoes soaked by some kind of glue that was around the palace . Once inside the Keets ' labyrinthine hive , the duo evaded the unfriendly Keets and discovered their stockpile of nectar pearls . Next , they learned from a bobber bird the proper way to retrieve a ganga root from the ground , and then had to flee with the last root so that the bird would not eat it . They needed to bore the root to extract its air inside and take it from the ground . And thirdly , Wicket spotted a Trome tree ; however , the tree only had one branch left , and when the resident Trome s appeared , they pleaded with the Ewoks not to destroy their home . Kneesaa then came up with a new plan , and Wicket instead carried the three Tromes on his shoulders back to the village . At the village , Kneesaa used the shoes to climb a tall tree where the stranglethorn imprisoned Malani , Nippet and Wiley . The four got off together . The other villagers followed at Kneesaa ' s plan : While the Tromes distracted the stranglethorn , Wicket sneaked into Logray ' s hut and retrieved the potion that would tame the plant . Logray instructed Wicket to place one drop into each of the plants mouths , but seeing how many heads the plant had sprouted , Wicket instead gathered a group of acorn s into his satchel and poured the potion over them . Then he , the Tromes , and the Ewoks fed them to the plant until it shriveled back to its original size . Some minutes later , Logray said that Kneesaa learned her father ' s three lessons : the Hand ' s Lesson ( when climbing the Keet ' s palace ) , the Head ' s Lesson ( when discovered how to retrieve the ganga root ) and the Heart ' s Lesson ( when saving the Trome ' s tree ) . The villagers celebrated the victory , and Chief Chirpa became very proud of his daughter again . Asha returns . One day , after her friends Paploo , Wicket , and Teebo had come back from their day ' s travels , they reported that they had seen an Ewok with red fur . Kneesaa , believing this mysterious Ewok to be her sister , went out in the middle of the night to search for her . Together with Wicket , she found Asha many years after their initial separation and took her back to the village , to the delight of Chief Chirpa . Latara and Wicket ' s foolish plans . Despite the fact Kneesaa ' s close friends got responsible jobs in the tribe , as herself , they continued getting themselves into trouble . Latara asked Teebo to fix her broken crystal . Teebo told her that he couldn ' t , nor could any Ewok , ever since the crystal cloak was stolen . It was taken by the Gracca , whom only the greatest of warriors could defeat . With that in mind , Latara knew who to go to . She and Wicket got in their gliders and flew out to the Floating Mountain . After their less than graceful landing , the Gracca was alerted to their presence by a flying flower creature , which the Gracca turned into crystal ( as he did everything he touched ) . When he saw the Ewoks , he tried to stop them by causing huge crystals to rise from the ground . Then Kneesaa and Teebo arrived just in time to save them . Kneesaa spoke against Latara and Wicket ' s foolish plans . When the Princess ordered the others to leave the Floating Mountain , the Gracca appeared himself to fight the Ewoks . After Teebo failed with this magic , Kneesaa used her lasso to grab the crystal cloak , but it ended up falling into the lava below . Wicket provoked the enraged Gracca and caused him to crash , thereby trapping himself under a bunch of crystal . So , all that young Ewoks could go back to the village . Saving a group of mimphs . An unidentified green - tongued creature once attacked a group of mimph s and tried to eat them . But Kneesaa and Wicket swooped down on a skin glider and rescued the mimphs . A guardian for the Soul Trees . Sometimes later , Kneesaa was not having very good luck with her gardening . Despite her pleading , her last surviving flower died . Kneesaa worried that the village would never trust her to take care of the Soul Trees . Wicket , Latara , and Teebo visited her , but they weren ' t very encouraging . However , in a sudden swirling wind , the Leaf Queen arrived . She asked Kneesaa to take care of a special plant for her . Kneesaa told her that all the plants she was taken care of have died , but the Queen said to give it " lots of love " and she would do fine . The Queen vowed to return for the plant in three suns time , and with another swirling wind , she vanished . The other Ewoks teased Kneesaa about the plant , and Wicket caused her to spook Baga , causing him to run off , puling the wagon carrying the plant — and now Kneesaa — along with him . They finally crashed in a pit of mud . Kneesaa wished for something to help clean her up , and the plant magically gave her brush . Then she wished for something pretty to wear , and the plant gave her a bow . Teebo discovered that what she had was a wish plant . Latara decided that she wouldn ' t mind having a wish plant for herself , so she later took the plant from Kneesaa ' s hut . But the same greed grabbed hold of Wicket , and later Teebo , and the three all kept taking the plant from each other . By the time Kneesaa got it back , the plant was wilted from being all used up . When the Queen came back for plant , Wicket fibbed that the plant was sleeping because Kneesaa had been giving it naps and that she should return later . The Queen warned them about what happened to the last creature who harmed one of her plants , and to prove it , she destroyed a bag of leaves that had been standing close by . The Queen said that she would return before the sun goes down . The Ewoks were panicked by the gesture , and after the Leaf Queen had departed , they tried everything they could to heal the plant , even trying to find a replacement for the withered shrub . Wicket searched for another wish plant . In the meantime , Teebo tried to heal the plant with a magic spell , but as usual , it didn ' t turn out quite right . Wicket returned not having any luck either . Kneesaa cried over the plant as she apologized to it . She turned to leave the hut to go tell the Leaf Queen the truth , not seeing that her tears healed the plant . Kneesaa started to apologize , and her friends joined in . But when the Queen retrieved the plant , they all saw that the plant was fine . The Queen then assured Kneesaa that she would take good care of the Soul Trees one day . The wish plant then bloomed some seeds for Kneesaa , which the Queen said she should plant them before it snows . Many of the Ewoks now wanted the Wish Plant seeds . The couple at the Harvest Festival . When Wicket and Teebo left the Bright Tree Village to leave in an old tree fort in the forest , Kneesaa realized the boys would not be attending the village Harvest Festival that night . So , Kneesaa and Latara brought them some stew for dinner . However , Wicket and Latara got into a culinary quibble which ended with Wicket covered in stew . The next night , Wicket and Teebo returned to the village , with a new friend , Larry . Kneesaa became satisfied on enjoying the rest of the Harvest Festival with Wicket . The two princesses . While she was washing Ewok clothes , Latara saw Kneesaa riding with Baga and told the Princess that she wanted to be a Princess like Kneesaa for only one day . Latara believed that a princess ' s life has no chores . So Kneesaa allowed Latara the title of Princess for one day , in order to show her how hard the life of a real princess was . Kneesaa commissioned Wicket and Teebo to be the loyal servants for " Princess " Latara . Kneesaa secretly offered Wicket a Pearl of Patience for his Belt of Honor if he would go along with her idea . " Princess " Latara showed little care for Wicket and Teebo , her " peasant " servants who carried her throne around the village . Wicket eventually became fed up with Latara ' s treatment of him and revealed that he was only obeying her to gain the item that Kneesaa offered for his belt . That , combined with Teebo ' s poorly worded compliment , brought Latara to tears , and she ran off into the woods alone . When Latara ' s three friends began looking for her later , Wicket spotted footprints leading to the grotto of the Gorph s . Kneesaa ordered Wicket and Teebo to help Latara with her . After a long slide downward , the trio learned that Latara had become betrothed to Prince Vork . Wicket came up with a plan to save their faux - princess , but the arrival of Gorph guards made them have to improvise a new strategy . Wicket tackled one guard while Kneesaa took care of the other . When Latara heard Kneesaa ' s cries , she fled , promising to seek the real Princess to Vork . Obviously , Kneesaa did not appreciate Latara ' s joke . The four young Ewoks ran to the grotto ' s exit as the Gorphs pursued . When Wicket realized the ramp they slid down on the way in was too slippery to go back up , he grabbed Latara ' s heavy crown and threw it at the Gorphs , knocking them all the way back to the Gorph throne room . Once they were free of the grotto , Kneesaa , Wicket , and Teebo all agreed that Latara ' s time of ordering the Ewoks around was over . Kneesaa became the only Princess of her tribe again . Baga in danger . Kneesaa was riding with Baga , some hours before to go to the Shadow Night Festival with Wicket . But Kneesaa and Baga was found by the Raich , and the two became terrified . The Raich was accidentally freed by Wicket , who took Raich ' s hat expecting to wear it as a costume for the Shadow Night Festival . Kneesaa dropped in a giant flower , and Baga was captured by the Raich . After Kneesaa freed herself from the flower , she found her friends Wicket , Teebo , and Latara . The three didn ' t let the brave Princess go alone . Wicket volunteered to fight the beast , but the Ewoks decided they should instead contact Logray . Rather than be considered a disgrace to the tribe for releasing the Raich , Wicket chose to find the Two - headed Gonster to have a new cap made for the monster . The Ewoks flew on their hang - gliders to the Twin Hills and landed , after a short run - in with the Gonster ' s hoosha . After negotiating with the Gonster to make a new cap , Wicket and Kneesaa flew to the Raich ' s cave in the Dead Forest to administer a potion to slow the Raich down . However , Wicket was unsuccessful with the potion , and he and Kneesaa were instead captured and tied up . That night , Teebo and Latara flew to the cave with the new magic cap , and Teebo freed his friends while the Raich slept . But the Raich awoke before the Ewoks were away , and he pursued Wicket and his friends into the woods . Kneesaa couldn ' t help her friends . She was under Baga ' s attack , when the little bordok was under the Raich ' s spell . Wicket ' s first attempt at capping the Raich was unsuccessful , since the Ewoks had forgotten to put the sparkle seeds on the cap . His second try did work , though , and their crisis was ended as the Raich was finally turned back into a tree . Baga was freed from the Raich ' s spell , and was back to normal . Kneesaa became grateful for Wicket . While she was going to the Shadow Night Festival with Kneesaa , Wicket did try to tell Chief Chirpa the history , but Kneesaa instead dragged him back to the village ' s party . The totem pole . While the Ewoks juiced the annual dangleberry fruit , Wicket decided that the job was beneath a young warrior like himself . A nearby traveler , known as the Totem Master , heard Wicket ' s bemoanings and confronted the Ewoks . The Totem Master asked for something to drink , and the Princess offered him some dangleberry juice . After this , he was able to bribe Wicket into taking a totem pole , claiming that all the great warriors had them . Kneesaa said to Wicket that they couldn ' t receive a gift from unknown creatures . But Wicket accepted the totem pole . After the traveler left , Wicket carried the totem pole back the village by himself . That night , while the Ewoks slept , the traveler went to the village and used his magic ring on the totem pole to bring the totem creatures to life ; once free , the creatures burglarized the village and gave their loot to their " Totem Master . " When Teebo saw this , he wanted to warn Chief Chirpa , but the Totem Master stopped him and used his magic ring to take over Teebo ' s mind and make him one of his slaves . Wicket briefly awoke during the night and saw some of these events , but he figured it was only a dream , and so he went back to sleep . The next morning , when the tribe realized they had been burglarized and Malani reported that her brother Teebo was missing , Wicket realized that what he had seen the previous night was no dream . He , Kneesaa , and Latara set off to find Teebo and their belongings . Once they caught up with the Totem Master , Latara confronted him ; however , when he used his magic ring to turn her into a totem slave , Wicket and Kneesaa followed him to his next stop : the Strutter village . While the Totem Master ' s wagon was in motion , Kneesaa used her lasso to enter in the vehicle , and then gave a hand to help Wicket to join her . The couple disguised themselves as totems , on the top of the pole , and wasn ' t discovered by the Totem Master . That night , Kneesaa and Wicket tried to stop the Totem Master , but they instead found themselves running from him and were soon captured by the enslaved Latara and Teebo . As the Totem Master tried to use his ring to place his spell on Wicket , he grabbed a Strutter mirror and turned the energy beam back on himself , thereby placing him under his own spell ; once the master ' s ring was destroyed , his slaves were freed of their curse . The next day , the four young Ewoks returned to the village with all of the tribe ' s stolen belongings . The lost temple . When Wicket discovered in Logray ' s hut a map to a lost temple full of precious jewels , planning to give one to his mother on her birthday , Kneesaa read some advice from the skirting - board . But nobody heard the Princess , and the four friends ( Wicket , Kneesaa , Teebo , and Latara ) departed to the temple . Once they made their way inside , Latara set off a booby trap which led them all down a long , dangerous slide — right into the treasure room . Wicket picked out a jewel he thought his mother would like , Latara picked out another jewel , and the Ewoks were then chased out of the temple by a purpa , a big Endorian reptile . Later , during Shodu ' s birthday party , Latara ' s own jewel hatched — for the jewels were actually purpa eggs . Kneesaa then took Wicket dancing and told him about the egg . Wicket had to tell his mother about the jewel , but before he could , mother and son were captured by Duloks who wanted to steal the jewel for their queen , Urgah . Later , Wicket convinced Shodu to leave the jewel to Urgah , and the two defeated the Duloks and went back home . Battle of Thorn Forest . During the Battle of Thorn Forest , Kneesaa made the two last acts that decided the Ewoks ' victory over the Wizards of the Night Spirit . While Wicket was pinning the Stranger to the ground , the Princess used her grappling hook to spin the Sunstar and reverse the ritual that was drawing the Wizards onto the forest moon . At last , when the Stranger tried to carry Wicket out of Endor with him , Kneesaa threw Wicket ' s lost Belt of Honor around the Stranger ' s outstretched hands . The strong leather belt soon had the Stranger ' s hands tied , and he released Wicket from his grasp . The Stranger and the other Wizards of the Night Spirit were banished again , and Kneesaa saved Wicket ' s life ( although Wicket ' s belt suffered the same fate as the wizards ) . Fear about Wicket ' s possible death . Searching for another trophy for his Belt of Honor , Wicket went alone to get a hanadak tooth for his belt . Some hours later , his three friends Kneesaa , Teebo and Latara started to search for the young Ewok warrior apprentice . Latara was afraid of the hanadaks and wished to go back home , but the Princess forced Latara to continue the search , in order to apologize for Latara ' s injuries . The Ewoks found only a group of Kagles , who told them about the fight between Wicket and a hanadak on a river . Kneesaa didn ' t believe the worst , and ordered the two friends to run across the river with her on board a raft . Alongside the river , Kneesaa found the broken Wicket ' s slingshot . Believing the broken weapon was proof of Wicket ' s death , Kneesaa became sad , and Teebo and Latara cried , hugging each other . Kneesaa took the slingshot , planning to tell all the villagers that Wicket had died fighting . But , for their delight , Wicket appeared again , telling about his fight with the hanadak and speaking of his excitement to share the news with Chief Chirpa . The sleeping spell . Kneesaa , Wicket , and Latara were with Teebo one day as he practiced the magic Logray had been teaching him . The three Ewoks were unimpressed with the tricks and with Teebo ' s execution of them . When Teebo was approached by Zarrak , a dark Ewok wizard who was once Logray ' s apprentice , Wicket and Latara had to carry Kneesaa back to the Bright Tree Village , for she had been put under a sleeping spell by Zarrak before she revealed Zarrak ' s past to them . After a brief cart accident , Kneesaa was healed at Logray ' s hut , and the shaman told Wicket and Latara of Zarrak ' s past and what danger Teebo was in . Some years before , Zarrak had been Logray ' s apprentice , but became impatient and tried to steal the powerful Sunstar , and was banished by the village ' s chief . Then Logray , Wicket , and the girls set out to save Teebo . When they arrived at Zarrak ' s mountain , the former apprentice was trying to drop Teebo into the " realm of spirits " from which " only the greatest wizards " had ever returned . While Logray ( with Wicket ' s little help ) and Zarrak battled it out , Kneesaa and Latara rescued Teebo , using Kneesaa ' s grappling hook . When the girls ran to help Logray and Wicket , Zarrak used his jewel to summon rocky hands from the ground to trap the four Ewoks . For saving his friends , Teebo used his magic to distract Zarrak and lead him into the abyss , making him drop the jewel , thereby freeing Kneesaa and the others . Poor traders . Kneesaa and her three close friends went to Mooth ' s Trading Hut , to trade some things with him . Upon arrival they learned that Mooth had come down with a cold and that business was slow . In the shop , Wicket spotted a pair of eodon tusks which he thought would look great hanging over his hammock , but each of his friends wanted the tusks for his or her self . Kneesaa was interested to give her father the tusks , for wearing with his helmet . So Mooth proposed that whoever could trade the most goods for him would receive the tusks . As the foursome set out for the river , a fierce rivalry brewed among them , and they chose to split up by gender , with each pair taking one side of the river . Sometime later , Latara spied on the boys , seeing their trade ' s failing and believing she and Kneesaa could be better than them . Latara went back to her side of the river , gaining Kneesaa ' s reprobation about the spying ; even so , the Princess asked for Latara ' s news , and the two started their journey . First , the Ewok girls tried to trade a cloak with a rodent ( Latara called her " Darling " ) who used her teeth to create sculptures from wood . But Latara ruined the cloak while she was showing it , ruining the trade , too . Later , Kneesaa and Latara tried to trade other things with some forest creatures . One of them arrested Latara , but Kneesaa used her grappling hook to save her friend . As a last and desperate action , Latara tried to trade a bottle of shampoo with the dangerous Bobog . The Ewok used some of the liquid to wash Bobog ' s hair , but failed when she accidentally mixed the shampoo with tree sap from another bottle , gumming the hair . The Bobog ran behind the girls , who took refuge on a tree . Then , Teebo and Wicket heard the girls ' cries , and ran to save them . Then they all mournfully returned to Mooth ' s , only to find that the Kagles had come in and traded a family cold cure and that the Bobog had traded some jewels for more fludge . So , when Mooth offered the eodon tusks , Wicket claimed them first since he was the one to give the fludge to the Bobog . However , Kneesaa claimed the tusks for herself because she carried a bag with the Mooth ' s things , and the two others each thought they were entitled to the tusks . Their quibbles were all for naught , though , when the tuskless eodon showed up at Mooth ' s , and Wicket graciously handed him the tusks . The blog attack . Kneesaa was very proud of her father , while seeing him teaching a lesson for some young Ewok warriors . Inspired on Chirpa , the warrior apprentice Wicket wished to train another Ewok to become a warrior . Latara made a bet about it with Wicket , and informed him of her pupil of choice : Teebo , the wizard ' s apprentice . Some hours later , Kneesaa , Wicket and Latara learned that the Tambles had recruited the " brave warrior " Teebo to deal with their troublesome neighbor , a blog . Wicket knew this meant trouble , so the trio ran off to save their friend . When the trio arrived , Wicket tried to save Teebo . But Wicket fell into the waters , trapped by the blog ' s tail . Kneesaa tried to rescue him with her grappling hook , but it was Teebo ' s use of magic to destroy the dam that saved both Wicket and the Tambles . As the river drained , Wicket climbed to safety and congratulated Teebo on his magic . But since magic had saved the day and not warrior skill , Wicket lost his bet with Latara and so was forced to mind the young Latara ' s brother and sister for twenty days . This outcome was funny to Kneesaa and Teebo . Odra ' s summer freeze . Kneesaa and her four close friends was enjoying a nice summer day . But when Teebo ' s attempt to summon a cool breeze went horribly wrong , Wicket led the way back to the village to see Logray . Unable to find the shaman , the troupe headed for the observatory and there intercepted a message for Logray from the Leaf Queen via the Sunstar . When a flying leaf showed up outside for ferry to the Sun Palace , Wicket convinced Kneesaa and the others to go in Logray ' s stead , given the direness of the situation . When the leaf taxi neared the Sun Palace , the group was attack by a pair of Ice Head commandos . Kneesaa was then knocked from the leaf and captured by the Ice Heads ; Wicket then made saving her their top priority . The group made their way into the Sun Palace where Wicket negotiated with the Leaf Queen and her siblings . Her majesty informed them that the sudden winter was not the fault of Teebo — it was , in reality , the result of an elaborate scheme by Odra , the Duchess of Sleet , who had frozen the heart of the Snow King to gain possession of the winter - controlling season scepter . In the throne room of Snow Palace , the Snow King was asking Odra what he could do with Kneesaa , since she didn ' t possess the Sunstar . Knowing the villain ' s plan , Kneesaa said to the Snow King that he would never get the Sunstar , " not even by freezing all of Endor . " The King responded by freezing Kneesaa in a block of ice and stuck upon an ice pick . Satisfied , Odra said that she and the King could trade Kneesaa for the Sunstar . Shortly after , during the Skirmish at the Snow Palace , Wicket and Teebo took the Season Scepter and used the device to melt the Snow King ' s heart and eliminate Odra ' s threat . With the King back to his jovial self , Wicket requested the release of Kneesaa . The Snow King apologized and unfroze Kneesaa , whom hugged Wicket upon her return . After the King returned the Endor ' s season back to that of the Sun King , the king ' s siblings , as well as Logray and Chief Chirpa , arrived at the palace . Chirpa commended Wicket and his friends for their accomplishments , and the Snow King gave Wicket a special trophy for his belt of honor : an Ice Head ' s club . Wicket was somewhat taken aback by the unconventional and rather large gift , but accepted it graciously nonetheless . Duloks and the prow . Alongside a river , Kneesaa and Latara found Wicket and Teebo at the other side , cleaning up Chief Chirpa ' s canoe and taking it into the water . Latara asked for a canoe ride , despite Kneesaa ' s warning about the upcoming Fishing Festival , a big Bright Tree Village ' s event where the canoe would be used . The boys accepted Latara ' s request , and the four embarked . But the ride ended abruptly when the boat hit a rock , dumping the foursome into the river . Once the young Ewoks pulled the boat ashore , they realized that the Chirpa ' s special prow carving was missing from the front of the canoe . Fearing Chirpa ' s wrath , the four dived into the river in a search for the carving . Downstream , the Ewoks found the prow carving , but it was in the hands of the Duloks . When the four tried to retrieve the carving , they were captured and brought onboard the Duloks ' battleship . They were then forced to help the Duloks row their way to Bright Tree Village . But Wicket enlisted the help of the Skib s to overthrow the Duloks . Wicket then commandeered the battleship and used its own catapult to bring about the ship ' s destruction . After abandoning ship , the young Ewoks watched in horror as the Ewok prow carving sank to the deep along with the ship . That night , Wicket explained the whole ordeal to Chirpa . The four became afraid of what Chirpa ' s punishment may be . The naïve Princess was thinking she could even be outcast from home . But the four soon found out that their worries were unnecessary ; Chirpa commended the young ones and merely asked that they put a new prow carving on the boat . The young Ewoks were so surprised by what Chirpa had said that all four of them passed out right then and there . Jadru ' s maze . While Kneesaa and her three close friends tried to bathe Baga one day , they were taken aback when a " beautiful " equine came along , a creature they decided to call Silky . The Ewoks all took a liking to Silky , so much so that Baga started to become jealous . Silky easily earned Kneesaa ' s trust , even securing the right to sleep on Kneesaa ' s bed , something that Kneesaa ' s pet Bordok , Baga , had never accomplished . The Ewoks were all impressed when they learned that Silky could fly . But when the mystical being took Kneesaa for a flight , it suddenly transformed into its natural state — a quarf — and began to carry Kneesaa off to the lair of Jadru , its master . The enchantress Jadru , like so many before her , desired to possess the Ewoks ' Sunstar , and she was willing to hold Kneesaa ransom to get it . Confirming Latara ' s lessons , the Princess ' s job was becoming more and more dangerous . Several villains of Endor were wishing to arrest the Princess of Bright Tree Village and trade her for the Sunstar . Despite this , Kneesaa never showed fear for them , and continued her challenger answers . Wicket sent Teebo and Latara back to notify Chirpa of what had happened , while he and Baga went behind the quarf . After scaling a steep cliff , Wicket and his steed made their way into Jadru ' s fortress , but they learned from her floating crystal ball , all too late , that they were in fact in a customizable maze controlled by Jadru . Still , with Baga following Kneesaa ' s scent , they were able to find their way to the throne room . Then , with Kneesaa now among them , the threesome led Jadru and her quarf astray and returned to the throne where the maze controls were to trap the enchantress in her own maze . Just as Wicket and Kneesaa were trying to figure out how " they " would escape , Chirpa and the warriors broke into the building . Wicket and Chirpa destroyed Jadru ' s control levers , ensuring that she would never find a way out . While they were leaving the Jadru ' s building , Baga accepted Kneesaa ' s apologies , and became her loyal pet Bordok again . The Hut of Horrors and The Tumble Bunny Show . After Kneesaa and Wicket gathered sunberries for Shodu Warrick , during a carnival , Shodu asked her son to take his sister Winda to the tumble bunny show . She did , however , give him a bribe : if he did this , Shodu might let him go on the overnight trip with the warriors . So Wicket begrudgingly took Winda to the show , and there ran into Teebo and Latara , both of whom were forced to take their younger siblings too . But Wicket backed away from the woklings ' show , and was instead interested in another attraction : Horville ' s Hut of Horrors . Enticed by Horville ' s spooky spiel , Wicket very much wished to witness the horrors . And yet , Kneesaa reminded him of his mother ' s deal . So Wicket took a quick vote by show of hands to determine which show the Ewoks would see , but despite those favoring Horville ' s Hut being in the minority , Wicket declared the vote to be a landslide in their favor . Assuring Kneesaa that the woklings would have a good time , Wicket and the septet of Ewoks entered the hut . But they did not leave unchanged . The Hut of Horrors left the older children shaken up and the woklings traumatized to the point of tears . At night , the four teenagers and the children went to Wicket ' s home to sleep . Wicket worried that the woklings would have nightmares , so Teebo retrieved a Logray ' s dream eater magic machine which would supposedly extract bad dreams from the woklings and store them within itself , but a faulty leg on the device ' s tripod gave out and the machine collapsed and fell right near Wicket ' s bed , " releasing " the bad dreams into his own mind . Wicket experienced a most bizarre nightmare . Finally , Shodu woke Wicket from his nightmare . Realizing his charade was through , Wicket confessed his disobedience to his mother . At the next day , a group of Ewok teenagers and children ( including Kneesaa , Teebo , Latara , Malani , Nippet , Wiley , and Winda ) enjoyed the tumble bunnies ' show . As a punishment for his disobedience , Wicket was forced by his mother to take over the tumble bunny trainer ' s job during ten shows . Elbo , the anklet and the flute . While fishing one day , Kneesaa soaked her feet in the water and lost her wooden anklet into the Endor Sea . Her mishap summoned King Elbo , a mighty monarch of an unknown fangly crab species , who decided to help her . He offered her two golden , jewel - encrusted anklets , but Kneesaa declined , claiming that they were not her anklets . When Elbo recovered her real anklet , she accepted without inquiring about the other two , which touched Elbo . He gave her all three anklets in appreciation of her selflessness . When Latara heard Kneesaa ' s story , her eyes spun at the idea of a jewel - encrusted golden flute to replace the wooden one Teebo and Wicket had made for her . Her demands and aspirations , however , appalled Kneesaa and Wicket , and deeply offended Teebo . Knowing their friend ' s rampant materialism , Kneesaa , Wicket , and Teebo followed behind Latara . However , their arrival at the lake was not quick enough , and they witnessed Latara being taken by Elbo down into his underwater coral castle . Planning to rescue Latara , Teebo called up a helpful fish who inflated a sea bubble — a thick membrane large and strong enough to hold the three Ewoks and transport them to the underwater lair . After a rough bubble ride down , the trio entered the air - filled castle and found their friend being held captive by a squid - like creature . Wicket distracted the creature , allowing Latara to escape with Kneesaa and Teebo . Then , the four ran through the castle trying to find a way out . They ended up in a wooden crate that hung above a ferocious sea creature . When King Elbo approached , Wicket tried to reason with him . Kneesaa touched Elbo ' s heart again , trying to trade her three anklets with him , to rescue Latara . So , the four eventually worked out a deal : the king would set up a test for Latara . If she passed , they would go free , but if she failed , all four would become Elbo ' s slaves . As the crate dropped lower and lower , Wicket bluntly told Teebo that he had no faith in Latara . But she proved him wrong , passing Elbo ' s test by finding the most valuable item among his treasures : her old flute that Wicket and Teebo had given her . The foursome then bid Elbo farewell and headed back to the surface , again via bubble transport . Norky and the Vacant Valley . Kneesaa was taking care of her pet bordok , Baga , in front of her home , when Wicket asked to borrow acorn paste from Kneesaa so that he and his mother could make more cookie s . Wicket was with Norky , a boy from an Endorian unidentified species who was the Warrick family ' s guest and frequently got Wicket into trouble . Norky had gotten Wicket and Teebo in trouble some minutes before . At the Royal Hut , Wicket went in with Kneesaa and left Norky behind so as not to disturb the in - progress council meeting , but Norky again wreaked havoc , disrupting the meeting , blaming Kneesaa , and even attempting to injure Wicket on the way out . After Latara shared a similar mishap , the four young Ewoks decided to take action against Norky . In Logray ' s hut , the foursome observed the shaman ' s globe and decided to send Norky to the Vacant Valley , although Wicket , Teebo and Latara initially had no qualms sending him to a more dangerous locale . The quartet duped Norky into following a " treasure " map to the valley by way of Latara ' s hang - glider . As time passed , Wicket reassured Kneesaa that Norky would not be in any real harm ; however , they quickly learned from master Logray that it was the centurial time of the natural sucking phenomenon in the Vacant Valley . The four Ewoks went to the valley , Kneesaa and Latara set out on board different hang - gliders , and Wicket and Teebo set out on foot — or , rather , magically spring - loaded vines to help them avoid being sucked underground . When they found Norky , Wicket had to convince the boy that there was no treasure and that the whole situation was a set - up , but that they never truly meant for any harm to come upon him . The three boys nearly perished there when they began to get sucked into a large hole , but the girls arrived with their hang - gliders , and with Norky ' s help , ensured that everyone made it out safely . Later , the five young Endorians returned back to Bright Tree Village . A diplomatic job . A party that Kneesaa was giving at her home wasn ' t going very well . All the children and young Ewoks that she had invited were wearied and sleeping . Kneesaa wanted to show her acorn s collection , but nobody was interested . Chief Chirpa arrived and gave her a special task , which was for Kneesaa to organize a party in honor of Prince Delby , who would arrive on an official visit . The Princess was worried , but Latara heard the exchange ( becoming very interested in Delby ' s arriving ) and took the mission , together with a hesitant Kneesaa . Latara commissioned Wicket to spread the party ' s placards and Teebo to lead the musicians ( Teebo chose Malani , Nippet , Wiley , and Winda for it ) . Latara gave Kneesaa a beautiful blue dress and a pair of sandals . The party went as Latara and Kneesaa had planned , until Pugs ' s arrival . Kneesaa mistook the Pugs ' s leader for Prince Delby , calling him " Your Highness . " The Pugs had seen Wicket ' s placards and had a rude posture during the party . Kneesaa became suspicious about the Pugs . She went home to talk Chirpa about Pugs ' leader , and caught the Pugs burglarizing her home . Immediately , the Pugs kidnapped the Princess . Wicket , Teebo , and Latara discovered what happened with Kneesaa , and the three departed to save her , on board Baga ' s cart . After escaping from Pug ' s leader and join with her friends , Kneesaa used her grappling hook to recover the bag with her household objects . The four Ewoks fled from the Pugs , and went back home . At the village , all the Ewoks were sleeping , like the young ones at the story ' s start , and Kneesaa worried about disappointing Chirpa . Chief Chirpa arrived with the true Prince Delby . Receiving Kneesaa ' s greetings , Delby apologized for missing the party , and invited Kneesaa to see his acorn collection . Radiantly , Kneesaa invited him to see her own collection , too . Kneesaa ' s diplomatic job was successful , and her three close friends didn ' t understand Kneesaa and Delby ' s interest in acorns . Imperial - Ewok War . Battle for the Sunstar . Using her veto power , Kneesaa commissioned Wicket , Latara and Teebo to accompany her on an expedition to feed a nest of baby guba s . Wicket wasn ' t disposed to help , and spoke that his time could be better spent earning another trophy for his Belt of Honor . His lovely Kneesaa immediately answered with her moral teaching about helping others . The foursome climbed a towering tree to reach the gubas , but the chicks were not as responsive as the Princess had hoped . The gubas knocked the group out of the tree , sending them plummeting to the base . Though none of them were injured , the Princess was undeterred from helping the gubas in the future . Latara started to deny Kneesaa ' s teaching about help others . Shortly after that , the young Ewoks heard the cry of a fircle . The four found the creature arrested in a strange trap . While Teebo was stretching in order to prepare for an attempt at lifting the device , he accidentally pushes Latara in the way of the mouth of the trap . The foreign device activated , sucking the hapless child into the impervious bubble , trapping her with the fircle . Then , Teebo prepared a magic spell with a dust base . Unfortunately , the dust blew into the trap , but it was able to destroy it from the inside , freeing Latara and the fircle . While the Ewoks was asking each other about the strange trap , Teebo was arrested by a droid that was under the command of Doctor Raygar . The Imperial scientist , flying his personal repulsorcraft , then set an energy beam on Kneesaa . Wicket tried to save her and to attack Raygar ' s droids , but he found he was no match for the advanced Imperial weaponry . Raygar then spoke with Wicket personally and demanded that he reveal the location of their village if he wished to save his friends . Reluctantly , and seeing his friends Kneesaa and Teebo in pain , Wicket complied , but he and Latara were nonetheless captured and placed into a holding cell with their friends aboard Raygar ' s ship . Though Wicket tried to lead an escape , the Ewoks were no match for the force field sealing the door . Learning Raygar ' s plans to seek the Sunstar , Wicket knew they must escape to warn the tribe . Latara denied Kneesaa ' s teachings again , speaking that no guba was helping them . Shortly after it , Wicket convinced Raygar ' s droid PD - 28 ( " Peedee " ) to let them out , but their search for an exit led them into an escape pod . Latara inadvertently launched the pod with her buttocks , and while the ride started off bumpy , Wicket took the helm and quickly learned how to pilot the craft . But by the time they arrived at Bright Tree Village , it was too late ; Raygar had already taken the Sunstar and fled . When the escape pod landed on the village , the Ewok warriors under Chief Chirpa ' s orders was ready to attack the enemies that they was waiting from the pod . They obviously gave up , when saw their Princess appearing from the pod ' s door . She left the vehicle , and when was talking her father about Raygar ' s plans , all Ewoks saw the doctor ' s ship leaving Endor . Fighting on board an Imperial Destroyer . While Wicket tried to convince Chirpa to use the " flying canoe " to transport some warriors back to the Sunstar , the overeager Latara started the ship ' s launch sequence , and only the four young Ewoks and Peedee made it into the ship before takeoff . Since Raygar ' s ship was quickly moving towards space , Wicket chose to stay on course rather than go back to pick up the warriors . The Ewoks were unprepared for the weightlessness they experienced when they broke Endor ' s atmosphere , although Peedee then engaged the gravity stabilizers , nor had the Ewoks ever seen anything quite like the Imperial Star Destroyer they approached for landing . Upon arrival , Peedee was ordered to be recycled by Admiral Kazz , so Wicket and Kneesaa decided to rescue the droid while the other two Ewoks searched for Raygar . After defeating an Imperial Reconnaissance Droid and retrieving Peedee from the recycling center , Wicket and Kneesaa headed to Raygar ' s lab , where the scientist had used the Sunstar to create a weapon to kill Emperor Palpatine , a weapon he wanted to first test on Latara and Teebo . When Raygar incapacitated Peedee , Wicket sought to avenge his new friend and lashed out at Raygar . He leapt for the man , dodging his blaster bolt , and attacked fiercely . In the scuffle , he inadvertently caused Raygar to fire his new weapon into space as Palpatine ' s shuttle approached ; while the blast — which destroyed one of the " Lambda " - class shuttle ' s wings — could have possibly killed the Emperor if fired at a slightly different angle or moment , it also may have saved the man ' s life by preventing Raygar from firing when he intended . Realizing his predicament , Raygar decided to kill Wicket , but Kneesaa retrieved the Sunstar and hit Raygar , freeing Wicket from his grasp . Wicket then used the Sunstar to destroy Raygar ' s blaster . Wicket , Kneesaa , and Peedee again boarded their capsule , picked up Teebo and Latara , and headed back to Endor . Kneesaa and Latara said good - bye to Peedee , and gratefully kissed the droid . After Peedee left Endor , Latara showed she learned about Kneesaa ' s teachings , to the delight of the Princess . Prelude to Endor . Ultimately , their encounter with Raygar would not be the last time they would encounter the Empire . Some time after forming the Sunstar - Shadowstone , Gorneesh ' s tribe of Duloks had been enslaved by the Galactic Empire for preparations of creating the Endor shield generator bunker . One Dulok , Agluk managed to escape Imperial custody at the cost of his right arm and later was captured by a group of Ewok scouts . Agluk was interrogated by Chirpa and Logray . The Chief did not believe the story of the Dulok , and ordered the imprisonment . Kneesaa , who accompanied her father , became curious . She went out and secretly decides to do another interview to overlap that of her father . Alongside Paploo and Wicket , she then interrogated Agluk about his presence . Upon learning from him about the unleashing of the ancient monster Griagh as well as the Imperial presence on the planet , Kneesaa offered to free him in exchange for letting him guide them to his village to prove that he wasn ' t lying about his claims . After freeing him , they also walked him on a leash , in case he tried to escape . However , they had to run when Logray spotted them , resulting in Paploo staying behind due to being caught in the shaman ' s magic . Afterwards , Kneesaa , Wicket , and Agluk ended up encountering Teebo and Latara , the former also being shocked that they are interacting with Agluk despite their rivalries , even if he was a prisoner . However , Kneesaa explained Agluk ' s story and their need to verify his account , and also reminded Teebo that she is his princess , meaning her decision is final and that he ' s coming whether he likes it or not , and also allowed Latara to tag along as well . Upon reaching the tree and climbing up , they discovered the construction of a massive complex : the building of Death Star II ' s shield generator bunker . Several Duloks were taken as slaves to work in the complex . Kneesaa proposed to do something about it , and she and the other Ewoks decided to accept Agluk ' s request to follow him in an alleged secret shortcut for the Imperial bunker . Kneesaa and company followed Agluk as he took them in a deep cave . To illuminate the cave , Agluk made a torch , trapping inside it a female Wistie called Zrani . The Dulok asked Kneesaa to carry the lantern . The princess was immediately contradicted in seeing that imprisoned Wistie , and showed to the other Ewoks her indignation at the attitude of Agluk , while the Dulok walked ahead . Until everyone walked beyond the cave , Kneesaa asked Agluk to drop Zrani and Wicket warned Kneesaa about the noise of some carnivorous creature that might be inhabiting the cave . How Agluk began calling the Ewoks , brandishing an Imperial blaster rifle , Wicket decided that they must flee when Dulok was sleeping . Kneesaa used her linguistic gifts to chat with Zrani , who told the princess that she would die if she remained in the lantern for longer , but the key to open the lantern hung on the neck of Agluk . So Wicket tried to take the key , but he accidentally woke Agluk , which began to pursue and shoot Wicket . Kneesaa collected the key lying on the ground and freed Zrani . As the Wistie was very weak , Kneesaa ordered everyone to get out of there immediately . The Griagh finally came , devouring Agluk . While Teebo and Wicket fought bravely against Griagh respectively using his ax and his spear , Zrani pointed Kneesaa to an exit of the cave , and the princess called the other Ewoks to follow her . Safe out of the cave , the Ewok group had decided to follow Wicket ' s suggestion to return to Bright Tree Village and warn everyone about Griagh , before all the village had Agluk ' s fate . On the way back , they saw Logray and Paploo being discovered by stormtroopers , who were deciding to imprison both together with a group of Duloks . Immediately , Kneesaa and her friends ambushed the armored soldiers , attacking and killing them one by one . Kneesaa attacked some stormtroopers , leaning on them and beating them with her knife . Until Kneesaa looked terrified for Griagh , which emerged from underground and started killing several Duloks and stormtroopers . While the stormtroopers and some accidentally loose Duloks tried to fend off Griagh and Ewoks were divided between killing stormtroopers , free Duloks and defend themselves from the Griagh , Logray asked Kneesaa to go with him to the top of a ridge . The two arrived there with Zrani , even under the stormtroopers ' s shots . How the Sunstar ( which was brought with Logray ) had little strength , Logray asked Kneesaa to join the ritual in which the two would strengthen the Sunstar and they would try to destroy the Griagh . But in an act of self - sacrifice , Zrani took the Sunstar and flew with it into the Griagh . In the process , the Sunstar exploded , comsuming Zrani and the Griagh . Chief Chirpa arrived with a group of Ewok warriors in time to see some surviving stormtroopers and Duloks dispersing in the woods and finding Kneesaa and all her friends to safety . And at a later celetration , Chirpa honored the young warriors , but warned that the threat of the Imperials was far from over . After the Battle of Endor . After the Endor battle and the destruction of the second Death Star , Kneesaa eventually married her childhood sweetheart , Wicket , who co - ruled Bright Tree Village with her after Chirpa ' s death . Personality and traits . From childhood , Kneesaa was tender and kind to all who lived with her . And the young princess was unfailingly polite to her friends . When Chirpa became a widower and believed that his older daughter was missing , he chose his only child , Kneesaa ( until Asha ' s return ) , to be his heiress , teaching her his entire job . This double familiarity ( between father - and - only - child and master - and - apprentice ) made Kneesaa very close with her father . She became a mature and strong leader with a high sense of justice . Kneesaa learned successfully about her tribe ' s jobs , values and traditions . But she changed some of these traditions , starting with her induction as the first Heiress of Chieftain of her tribe ' s history . Despite this induction , Kneesaa didn ' t become a strong warrior as her father . Kneesaa became a brave Ewok when she started to join adventures with her friend Wicket , a talented scout and warrior apprentice . Kneesaa was too afraid about Wicket ' s success on his tests . When Wicket went to the Black Cavern to dispute a sun crystal with the Dulok prince Boogutt , in order to obtain another trophy for his Belt of Honor , Kneesaa cried for her tribe ' s help to rescue him . On another occasion , when Wicket failed on his skills test , Kneesaa tried to convince him to leave the Cavern of Broken Dreams and do another skills test , but she was successful only after getting the attention of a mortal giant spider - like creature and being saved by Wicket . Kneesaa always showed respect for all Ewok Elders , including when they did not yet trust her as the future Chief . Apparently , until becoming Wicket ' s bride , Kneesaa never showed jealousy about Malani ' s love interest in Wicket , or his short interest on Chirita . Kneesaa never lost a chance to show her tenderness to Wicket , with hugs and kisses . Wicket always answered with similar tenderness . Since her Festival of Hoods , she wore a pink hood with the blue gem given by Asha . Sometime after becoming a brave Heir of Chieftain , Kneesaa became the best Ewok at fighting with a grappling hook , used as her primary weapon . Some years later , though still in her youth , Kneesaa started to use a knife as her primary weapon . Powers and abilities . Sometimes , Kneesaa was interested in Logray ' s potion formulas . Soon after that , she made the shrinkroot potion that was used to defeat the kradak that was attacking the trees of Bright Tree Village . It indicated that Kneesaa had some abilities with magic , as her father with prism pebbles , and she could be a fine wizard apprentice , if she wasn ' t the Heir of Chieftain . But , according Logray , a good wizard must have a lot of years of total devotion . After the kradak incident , the job of Heir of Chieftain took all of Kneesaa ' s time . Kneesaa showed some potential Force - sensitivity in her ability to wield the Sunstar during the fight against Dr . Raygar on board an Imperial Destroyer . However , her Force - sensitivity was likely smaller than Wicket ' s , but Logray reminded of the gifts of Kneesaa , to ask for her help to manage the weakened Sunstar during combat against Griagh , before the mystical artifact be destroyed along with the creature . Behind the scenes . Although Wicket was the main character in and in the most of the print issues , Kneesaa was the main character in some stories : " " , " The Ice Princess ! " , " " , " " , " The Three Lessons " , " The Wish Plant " , and " Party Ewok " . In " " , Kneesaa was voiced by Cree Summer in the first season and Jeanne Reynolds in the second . An action figure of Princess Kneesaa was prepared in 2010 as part of Hasbro ' s , but it was cancelled before its issue with a new Wicket action figure . This figure had a 2012 release in an Ewok gift set .
