==Description==

==Background== 
Ewoks were small, furry creatures that lived on the forest moon of Endor. They mistook C-3PO as "the golden one", one of their many gods, and took Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and R2-D2 captive. While the Ewoks where preparing a banquet in C-3PO's honor, he followed Luke's suggestion to order them to release their captives, or he would use his "magical powers". When the Ewoks didn't listen, Luke used the force to levitate C-3PO, frightening the Ewoks into submission. Later that day, C-3PO told the Ewoks why he and his friends had come to their moon, and the importance of their mission. The Ewoks went on to play a critical role in the Battle of Endor, culminating in the Empire's final defeat.
