In 4 ABY , a small group of Rebel Alliance operative s arrived on Endor and convinced Nho ' Apakk ' s village that the Galactic Empire , which had established a presence on the moon to support the construction of a new Death Star battlestation in the system , was a threat the Ewoks could help defeat . Nho ' Apakk thus joined with his fellow Ewoks in the Battle of Endor to fight alongside the Rebel forces , and the warrior personally attacked stormtroopers sent by the Empire . Personality and traits . Nho ' Apakk had cream - colored fur , a brown nose , pale fingers and toes , and black eyes . The Ewok preferred to avoid confrontation whenever possible , but he was willing to defend Bright Tree Village fearsomely if need be . The warrior wore a greenish hood . He fought with a wooden staff with three prongs at its tip . Behind the scenes . The Nho ' Apakk action figure , part of Hasbro ' s " " toy line , is based on an Ewok costume seen in the film . The Ewok appeared in scenes shot by the second unit near . During that time of production , a crewmember snapped a publicity photograph of the Ewok holding a film slate . Hasbro released the Ewok action figure in 2009 as part of a two - pack with fellow Ewok Paploo . Nho ' Apakk ' s description on the toy card fails to note whether the Ewok is male or female , but in official statements , Hasbro has identified him as a male . The character ' s portrait illustration on the figure card is a repainted version of the one used for Graak on Hasbro ' s Romba and Graak two - pack , released in 2007 . As such , the card image does not match the appearance of the actual Nho ' Apakk action figure . Nho ' Apakk is named for a " Star Wars " fan named Noah . In Spring 2008 , Noah , then seven years old , was facing a debilitating operation from which it would take him several months to recover . The boy lived near Hasbro ' s headquarters , and , when the toy company heard about his impending surgery , they invited him for a tour and to discuss their " Star Wars " toy line . There , Noah revealed that he was a fan of the Ewoks from " Return of the Jedi . " Hasbro , incidentally , was in the preliminary design stages for a new pair of Ewok action figures . They showed Noah several production shots of the various Ewoks used in " Return of the Jedi " and asked him to choose the two he found most interesting ; the boy selected Paploo and a white - furred Ewok that Hasbro staff were largely unfamiliar with . Nevertheless , they honored Noah ' s wishes and decided to design new action figures of his choices . Production progressed by several months , and the white - furred Ewok remained unidentified . Hasbro and Lucasfilm Ltd . then realized that the character was one of several Ewoks who had not yet received official names . Hasbro proposed naming the Ewok for Noah ; Lucasfilm agreed and provided the name " Nho ' Apakk " to sound like an Ewokese version of the boy ' s first name and parts of his surname . Hasbro promised to give the boy the first Nho ' Apakk figure from the toy ' s production run , and the company claimed that the whole experience strongly affected both Noah and his family . By May 2009 , Noah had undergone his operation and was in recovery .
