Ewoks are a fictional species of teddy-bear like hunter-gatherers that inhabit the forest moon of Endor. They first appeared in the film Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983). They have since featured in two made-for-television films, Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, as well as an animated series and several books and games. The Ewok are named after the Miwok, a Native American tribe indigenous to the Redwood forest.
