## Biography

### Warrior of the Ewoks

#### Encountering the Rebels

**Wicket Wystri Warrick** was born and raised in the Bright Tree Village on their Forest Moon of Endor. Wicket's first name was that of a brave and inquisitive nature spirit in an Ewok legends and the surname, "Warrick", was reserved for their greatest of warriors to honor another legendary figure who once bore that name. At an early age, he displayed a sense of adventure; but Wicket's father didn't understand where it came from, though Wicket's mother, Shodu, knew that he was simply taking after his father. When Wicket was still a young warrior, the Galactic Empire ruled by Emperor Sheev Palpatine landed on Endor to construct a shield generator to protect the second Death Star. Despite the disparity in technology and the firepower between the Ewoks and the Imperial forces, Wicket did devise plans to defeat their war machines used by Empire officers and troops.

The Empire activity continued at their moon Endor as construction on a new Death Star II progressed. Meanwhile, Rebel Alliance had sent a strike team to the forestmoon to deactivate the shield protecting the giant weapon. One day, Warrick came across the crash site of a pair of Imperial speeder bikes. He'd cautiously approached a survivor, a Human woman, prodding her with his spear until she regained consciousness. This woman was Leia Organa, Princess of Alderaan and a leader of the Rebel Alliance. Warrick remained leery until the woman offered him some food to eat. He found the food to be very good, but he again became fearful of Organa, though she was merely removing her helmet. He began to inspect the headgear but stopped and grabbed his spear when he heard more Imperials. When the Imperial scout troopers fired at them, Warrick and Leia Organa hid behind a log until another blast hit. At that point Wicket Warrick rolled out of sight.

Then, as a scout trooper approached Organa at gunpoint, Wicket realized she was no friend of the Imperials, so he then attacked the Stormtrooper's legs, giving Organa a chance to swing at that trooper, grab her blaster, and shoot the other Imperial before he could get away. As they headed off, Warrick urged Leia to follow him to his home village. On the way home, Wicket and Leia came upon two stormtroopers who had stopped two other Ewoks and were attempting to arrest them. Warrick climbed a nearby tree and created a trap by tying a lasso from a vine. He then lowered the lasso over the Imperial Stormtroopers, snaring them. Wicket Warrick jumped from the tree, holding the other end of the vine in order to hang the troopers from the tree; however, Wicket was not heavy enough to pull the troopers. Leia helped, grabbing hold of him, causing troopers to rise and be knocked out by a tree. Wicket, Organa, and other Ewoks continued to an village.

Upon arriving at Bright Tree Village, Wicket presented Leia with a dress as a gift for helping him save his fellow villagers. Meanwhile, other Ewoks did capture and brought in the rest of the Rebels: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. The Ewoks treated C-3PO as a god, and the Ewok shaman Logray insisted that the other Rebels to be sacrificed in that droid's honor. The proceedings were halted when Skywalker used the Force to lift C-3PO into the air and convince the Ewoks that it was an show of the droid's "magic". This act frightened the Ewoks, including Wicket, and caused them to run away, but they soon returned and untied the Rebels under Logray's orders. Once freed, R2-D2 used one of his built-in devices to deliver a mild electrical shock to Wicket in retaliation. That night, rebels had an audience with Ewok leaders in hopes of encouraging them to join the cause. C-3PO animatedly told the Rebels' tale. At the end of the meeting Chief Chirpa declared that they were part of their tribe, and the Ewoks welcomed new comrades.

#### Fighting the Imperial Forces

Wicket and another Ewok, Paploo, then joined Han Solo, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, and their two droids to meet up with rebel commandos. They arrived a ridge overlooking the Imperial landing platform, and from there Wicket and Paploo led them to the secret entrance on the other side of the ridge. There, as Paploo did distract Imperial Scout Troopers to allow the Rebels to sneak inside the shield generator bunker, Warrick stayed behind with the droids. He'd remained there until they spotted more Imperials arriving; realizing the Rebels were in trouble, Wicket Warrick ran to get help. After the rebels group was led back out of that bunker at gunpoint, Wicket Warrick returned—and he brought with him an entire army of Ewoks. The Battle of Endor had begun. The Ewoks attacked with a variety of weapons and traps. Wicket joined a group hunting with bolas, and while his own attack backfired and knocked Wicket Warrick to the ground, the only injury was to his ego. The surface Battle of Endor raged on, and the rebels group tried to make their way back into that shield bunker.

The rebels eventually did destroy the shield generator, allowing the rebels above their planet to destroy the Death Star II, and the body of Emperor Palpatine along with it. As the victors celebrated at Endor, Han Solo and Leia Organa shared a intimate moment—one which Wicket did not hesitate interrupting to share in the jubilation. At a village-wide party where the Ewoks and Rebels celebrated their victory in that battle, Wicket danced and fraternized with R2-D2. When the Rebel Alliance detected an Empire holdouts on the other side of the moon, Warrick and at least five other Ewoks accompanied the strike team out to the site. The Ewoks curiosity about all of the technology and buttons within that shuttle got on the nerves of pilot Shara Bey as she was piloting that craft. The strike team quickly took the base and discovered numerous Imperial comm records and plans in the wake of the Emperor's death. Wicket Warrick gave Leia an acorn for a serpent's puzzle plant as a gift before she left Endor. At Luke's suggestion, the sapling became a part of her meditation exercises.
