Warning! This post contains a preview for Star Wars: Ewoks #1
A new one Star Wars series is teasing the canonical fate of the Ewoks In the aftermath of Endor. While the primitive bear-like natives of Endor were crucial in the Rebels’ defeat of the Empire in Return of the JediThe Galactic Civil War did not end on Endor despite the destruction of the second Death Star and the defeat of the Sith Lords. As such, new threats are emerging, and the Ewoks are now seemingly on their own.
After the Battle of Endor, a new preview for Marvel’s Ewoks #1 By Steve Orlando, Alvaro Lopez, Laura Braga reveals that the remnants of the remaining empire still have a vested interest in the forest moon. This is due to a large weapons depot hidden on the moon, resulting in new teams of Imperials being sent to retrieve the vast cache of weapons in the ongoing battle with the Rebellion. Meanwhile, it looks like the Ewoks are concerned about what’s next for their various tribes:
Having learned that they are not alone in the galaxy, the Ewoks discuss how they should interact when and if they come into contact with future visitors from other worlds. However, the debate should be less of an issue once they know that the empire is making a comeback.
The rebels have left, but new threats are coming to Endor
The empire is coming back
In the canonical Star Wars Timeline, the Galactic Civil War did not end with the Rebel’s victory on Endor. Instead, the war would not officially end until the Empire’s surrender after the climactic Battle of Jakku almost a year later. To this end, it is understandable that the Rebellion will eventually leave Endor and the Ewoks as they still have a war to win, after finally gaining a critical advantage after their last triumph that rocked the Empire to its core.

To this end, it seems likely that the rebels did not even consider that the EWCs might be in danger when they left.. After all, it’s not as if the Forest Moon has any known tactical or strategic value after the destruction of the shield generator that was protecting the second Death Star in Endor’s orbit. As such, the discovery of this major weapons cache is a real game-changer, one that will likely pit the Empire against the Ewoks alone.
The new series of ​​Star Wars is the opportunity to prove yourself
Become a true tribe leader
The young Ewok Wicket (who first met and helped Leia at a tribal meeting) spoke at a tribal meeting about finding new ways to connect their voices and song with others. Return of the Jedi) was quickly silenced by senior warriors who were seen offering a more aggressive stance on the idea of ​​meeting future outsiders. As such, it’s clear that Wicket will likely get some key character evolution in the new series.
