Ewoks are those cute furry pop culture icons from Star Wars. Ewoks are short little creatures that came from the forest where they thrived. While they were small with big eyes and resemble your childhood teddy bear, they were also very strong and powerful creatures who would give skilled humans a run for their money in combat. In the Star Wars stories, they were discovered by the Empire where they went from basic primitive creatures to learning how to use technology quite quickly. Ewoks play a lot of different roles in the Star Wars series, but it seems that in pop culture they are mostly remembered as cute little furry friends.
