Rock Wizard The Rock Wizard was a powerful wizard who lived on the Forest Moon of Endor . He resided in a large fortress that towered over a fair stretch of land . A tribe of Jinda s known as the Travelling Jindas took up residence under the Rock Wizard ' s fortress , and he allowed them to farm the land , using their beasts of burden to till the soil . In return , the tribe fed the wizard , bringing him Jinda delicacies to sample . The Rock Wizard valued his people and protected them from outside threats . The Jindas in turn were content to call the Rock Wizard ' s land their home , satisfied with the friendship they had struck with the wizard . However , this friendship abruptly ended during one of the Rock Wizard ' s meals . While eating a Jinda dish , one of the Rock Wizard ' s teeth became dislodged from his mouth . This incident caused the wizard terrible pain , and he immediately suspected the Jindas of trying to poison him . Using his formidable powers , he drove the Jindas from the land , chasing them with large boulders . The Jindas were forced to stay on the move . If they attempted to remain in a location for too long , the boulders would rise up from the ground and attack them , until the Jindas continued their travels . During one of these encounters , the boulders chased the Jindas to an Ewok tribe located in Bright Tree Village . To repay the Jindas for an earlier act of kindness , the Ewok Shaman Logray and his apprentice Teebo decided to help stop the curse . Using their powers , the two Ewoks led the forest animals in tying up the boulders with tribe lengths of rope , fastening them to the ground . However , the Rock Wizard sensed that his powers were being blocked , and he arrived at the village determined to punish those that had helped the Jindas . The wizard began to attack the village but stopped when he noticed a familiar rock tied around the Ewok Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka ' s neck . The Rock Wizard ' s tooth had been scavenged by traders and sold as a lucky token . The wizard demanded his tooth back , replacing it in his mouth . The replaced tooth cured the wizard ' s pain , and he immediately forgave the Jindas , requesting that they return to their home under his fortress . Biography . Early life . The Rock Wizard was an individual that had found himself on the Forest Moon of Endor . He was a powerful Force - sensitive , and was able to manipulate the environment , causing large gulches to open on the surface of the moon . The Rock Wizard was well known for his powers , and other magical beings on Endor were familiar with his reputation . At some point before 3 ABY , the Rock Wizard had constructed a massive fortress that he used as his headquarters . The structure was positioned in a location free from trees , and the fortress dominated the landscape . In the plains surrounding his home , a tribe of Jinda s known as the Travelling Jindas resided , farming the soil with their beasts of burden . The Rock Wizard tolerated the Jindas and watched over them , protecting them from any outside threats . To repay the Rock Wizard for his kindness , the Jindas fed the wizard , preparing feasts for their benefactor . The Rock Wizard greatly enjoyed the Jinda dishes , valuing the meals above all others . The friendship between the Jindas and the Rock Wizard continued to grow , with each providing a service for the other . However , the ambivalence that the Rock Wizard held towards his charges eventually disintegrated . During one of the Rock Wizard ' s meals , the Jinda leader Bondo , accompanied by several other Jindas including Trebla and Chituhr , presented the Rock Wizard with a dessert , and then stood back to watch him enjoy the dish . However , the response was not what the Jinda ' s expected . As the wizard consumed the dessert , one of his lower teeth became dislodged from his mouth , causing him great pain . In agony , the Rock Wizard placed the blame solely on the Jindas , accusing them of trying to poison him . The Rock Wizard chased the Jindas out of his fortress and off the land , using his powers to summon heavy boulders that attacked the Jindas . The Rock Wizard placed a curse on the Jinda tribe , forcing them to stay on the move . If they tried to settle down in a new place , the boulders summoned by the wizard would attack them until they packed up and continued their travels . To prevent attacks from the Rock Wizard , the Jindas were careful not to stay in one place for too long , usually leaving a location after one night . The Jindas constant traveling eventually gave them a reputation as aimless wanderers , and they were looked down upon by other species that resided on Endor . To make up for their lack of a stable home , the Jindas took up an occupation as entertainers , relying on gifts from their audiences to maintain their nomadic lifestyle . Interference at Bright Tree Village . As the Jindas continued their never - ending journey , the Rock Wizard ' s tooth became lost . It was eventually found by a group of fearsome traders , who brought the tooth to their fellow trader , Mooth . The tooth was kept in Mooth ' s shop where he advertised it as a very lucky stone and kept it on a string . Never knowing that the stone was actually a tooth , Mooth sold the " lucky stone " to Wicket W . Warrick in exchange for a bag of monmon seed s . Although Wicket ' s purchase was derided by his fellow Ewoks , as they saw the stone as " just a rock , " Wicket gave the stone necklace to his sweetheart , Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka , who was thankful for the gift . Meanwhile , in a nearby part of the forest , the Jindas were relaxing by a stream . Bondo enjoyed the location , and neglected to leave after their usual one day of camp . Trebla warned his leader of the curse , but Bondo ignored the advice , deciding to stay another night . However , the warning proved true , and several boulders of the Rock Wizard rose up to attack the Jindas . Bondo quickly sounded a retreat , and the Jindas fled from the Rock Wizard ' s boulders . The Jindas ' escape eventually led them to meet up with the Ewoks who had left Mooth ' s shop and been captured by Skandit s , a race of sentient rodents that resided on the forest moon . Having met the Ewoks sometime before , Bondo and his tribe helped the Ewoks escape , returning them to their home at Bright Tree Village . Chief Chirpa was grateful to the Jindas for their help and allowed the group to stay at their village . However , the Jindas ' neglect to continue their travels meant that the Rock Wizard ' s boulders came upon them once again . Wishing to repay the Jindas for their help , the Ewoks sheltered the tribe in the heights of their treetop village , keeping them out of the reach of the Rock Wizard ' s attacks . However , the Jindas were stranded in the trees , unable to return to the forest floor , as the Rock Wizard ' s boulders waited for them on the ground . After Bondo explained the curse to the Ewok village , Shaman Logray agreed to help stop the boulders from chasing the Jindas . Taking his apprentice Teebo , the two Ewoks called upon the power of the Light Spirit , drawing several forest creatures to the location . The animals tethered the boulders to the ground with long lengths of rope . When the Jindas returned to the ground , the rocks were unable to attack , nullifying the Rock Wizard ' s revenge . Attack . As the Jindas celebrated Logray ' s triumph , the Ewok shaman urged caution , warning the Jindas that the Rock Wizard would not give up his desire for revenge so easily . Although Bondo ignored Logray ' s warnings , the land suddenly began to vibrate violently . The Rock Wizard arose from a crack in the land , demanding to know who had circumvented his curse on the Jindas . Logray confronted the powerful wizard , claiming that his actions against the Jindas had been misguided . However , this threw the Rock Wizard into a furious rage , and he attacked the village in response . Manipulating the environment , the Rock Wizard threw rocks at Logray , knocking him aside . The Ewoks fled in terror as the wizard used his powers to tear columns of dirt from the ground , destroying an Ewok hut . However , the wizard was still in pain over his missing tooth , and he continued to wince in pain during his attack . Fearing for her people , the young Princess Kneesaa ran to the Rock Wizard , still with the lucky stone around her neck , and pleaded with the wizard to stop his assault . Gazing down at the small Ewok , the wizard immediately recognized his missing tooth . The Rock Wizard stopped his assault and begged the girl to return what was his . Once it was back in his possession , the wizard slipped the tooth back into its socket , stopping his agony immediately . Reconciliation . Delighted that his pain had stopped , the Rock Wizard erupted into a hearty laugh , to the indignation of the Ewoks who barely escaped the Rock Wizard ' s attack . The Rock Wizard immediately realized that he had been wrong to blame the Jindas and apologized , declaring that they should return to their homeland below his fortress . Although still nervous over the wizard ' s previous attack , the group laughed off the encounter . To show that he held no ill will towards the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village , the Rock Wizard grabbed Wicket and Kneesaa in his hands , holding them gently as the Jindas celebrated their freedom from the curse . Personality and traits . The Rock Wizard was an impulsive individual , taking drastic actions based on early assumptions . When the Rock Wizard lost his tooth , causing him great pain , he immediately assumed that the Jindas were responsible , exiling them from his land and continually chasing them with large boulders . When this assumption proved to be incorrect , and his thirst for revenge was proved unfounded , the Rock Wizard laughed off the misunderstanding , not appearing to feel any guilt for his actions . The Rock Wizard was a massive being of , easily towering over the small Ewoks , at roughly four times their average height . The wizard used his massive height to intimidate the smaller Ewoks , making wild gestures as he uprooted the terrain and destroyed an Ewok hut . When using his powers , especially in these rage - filled attacks , the Rock Wizard ' s eyes glowed a vibrant red . This aided his fearsome demeanor , making the Ewoks scatter in his presence . After replacing his tooth and stopping his pain , the Rock Wizard ' s eyes returned to their normal blue color . Powers and abilities . The Rock Wizard was a powerful sorcerer , easily overwhelming the Shaman Logray , and facing down the Ewok and Jinda tribes with little trouble . The powers in the Rock Wizard ' s arsenal included telekinesis , as he was able to lift several boulders and use them to chase the Jindas . In his attack on Bright Tree Village , the wizard used this power to throw rocks at Logray and other Ewoks , knocking them aside . The Rock Wizard also had the power to rip apart the land , creating great ravines . When the Rock Wizard attacked a hut in the village , he lifted up a great mound of dirt , creating a pillar of soil that flattened the Ewok house . The Ewoks in the hut were only barely able to escape before the structure was obliterated . Behind the scenes .
