Retired Stormtrooper's Wife: "Look, darling, i got our little baby boy a teddy bear." Retired Stormtrooper: *starts screaming and babbling incoherently*
He didn't say it was only his best troops. He probably had like one crack unit that were there specifically for the Rebel Strike team (which was made up of a couple dozen troops at most as they had to fit on a single Imperial Shuttle) not an Ewok Army. The regular garrison probably wasn't his best troops they might even have been the guys that barely passed training. That being said they should probably have the ones acting like clowns being Imperial Army instead of the (supposedly) elite Stormtrooper Corps.
Your over confidence is your downfall ....your faith in your friends is yours . Luke should have them replied your lack of faith of the ewoks is yours lol buuurrnnn
@@IceWolfLokiyou also need to remember his "best" troops and officers were the best at screwing over their cohorts for a ham sandwich and cheating on promotion exams. Not necessarily the best at actually being soldiers and officers. As Obi Wan says "everything's true from a 'certain point of view'"
I thought for a second this was going to confirm the "The Ewoks eat sentients" joke as true. Think about it for a second. In RotJ, the Ewoks were ready to kill the main group for no real reason... unless they were hungry. They took them alive, and then were preparing to kill them... because that keeps the meat fresher. The Ewoks had a funeral pyre for someone, in spite of not knowing that person as anything other than an enemy... or was it a funeral? Maybe it was a barbecue.
The dark truth videos are my absolute favourites on this channel. More please :-) I'm surprised the Ewoks didn't just eat those children in Caravan of Courage...
@@failure4452 exactly. When all of the storm troopers die and there is ulmost only ewoks and ur one of the last storm troopers its impossible to get on to the shuttle.
Then there's also that alternative history comic, called Legends where the Ewoks are cannibals and attacked both the Imperials and the Rebels during the Battle of Endor.
lmao this is great, because when i played a tabletop starwars rpg, i made a dark side ewok and was possibly the most fun i have ever had playing a table top rpg.
I love how 90% lore comes from the "E E EEeeeEwoks and their living on their forest moon..." But no mention of Logray and Morag... But at least he mentioned the duloks. I'll bet no travelling Jiiiiindaaaaaaahs made the cut though...
I played a Star Wars table top RPG in college with some friends. The DM ran an Ewok NPC who we eventually learned was a mastermind Sith Lord named Darth Yub Yub. Yub Yub never spoke Basic, just used the Force to drill thoughts and words into your brain. Sadistic little fur ball.
It’s like taking the history of World War Two and one saying that people can’t here of Rome and Japan and the internal situations because the Germans were so sterial and used fire and gas remotely and they didn’t show in the move “triumph of the spirit” the size of the hole for the furnace with how small they had to cut the body parts so that they would not look human to hungry people and show how those that ate it were forgiven and sent to certain houses in Rome for special people. It is so much of the story even though watching it in movie theaters when I was a kid I knew what the Ewoks were doing it was just moving the story along.
People watching Episode VI: THE EWOKS ARE SO CUUUUUTE, LOOK AT THEM ALL CELEBRATING AT THE END LIVING PEACEFULLY Meanwhile the people in the background who know they all went extinct after the movie due to the impact of the 2nd Death Star: ...I think you might want to sit down for this one
An alien species may consider us, know and in our history, in the same "light". Plus every Star Wars planet has a "dark side", or past, that may equal, or worse, than the Ewok's.
Dark history and a dangerous people, I dont care. I'll always cry everytime I watch that Ewok hugging his friend who was shoot during the battle of Endor....
As far as war crimes go, a real life example would be the French and Indian War fought in colonial America at the turn of the 18th century. The indigenous tribes neither understood nor cared for the European rules and conventions of war, which were compounded by the fact that these same Europeans soldiers would break the rules of war when it suited their aims. Ewoks were just being themselves while the Imperials and Rebels were using whatever justifications they could to advance their own interests.
I mean Wombats are cute, but they have super sharp claws and can tear you up if they're mad. I always figured Ewoks were more like Wombats than Teddy bears.
Where were these other species during the battle of Endor? And why was Endor the shield base planet/moon if so many species lived there to mess with it? One of them 6 to 30 meters (kinda big range...) tall buggers would wreck things and be noticeable when scouting the planet.
When I saw the Ewoks defeat the stormtroopers in the movie I knew they weren’t such a cute and adorable creatures and I guess I was right poor stormtroopers
Thanks for murdering my childhood memories of Ewoks. My dream of one day living in a tree house community now seems very bleak indeed, woe is me, woe is me.
they should make an entire new Ewok movie with the special and practical effects they used in the latest planets of the apes movies. With an great written story ofc
I don't believe the Ewok cartoons or the live TV movies are canon. But, if C-3PO can talk to them, it makes sense there's some back story. Ewok ancestors must have had some contact with civilization, and then chose to live without advanced technology and contact with other races. Presumably the moon was deliberated deleted from star charts. Until the Empire found it again and decided it would make a great secret base to build the second Death Star. Of course, this suggests that other Ewoks also chose to say in civilization.
Hey brother. Star Wars was very dark. The fact Lucas based the starwars series on WW2. The destruction of Princess Leia homeworld Alderon would be comparable to the Holocaust in Germany against the jews. Lucas used many battles taken from WW2 History. It's hard to see unless you've read the books and seen the movies. As more come out it becomes much darker.
I'm not sure if it's Canon but you forget to mention that palpatine's death over endor has made a darkside nexus over the moon. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
I mean it was a war crime when the ewoks attacked the storm troopers because like mind tricked them and dragged them into the war and the imperials and ewoks were living together just fine before like ruined it
Yeah. Totally. It was honestly very plain to see from the very first trilogy. The Ewoks were this tool aged tribal people who were just fine with cooking and eating other clearly sentient beings. Despite their primitive nature, they're also obviously very capable of understanding high tech equipment. To anyone with an objective mind who isn't completely blinded by the cute factor, that's actually kinda terrifying.
Your ship crashed on the forest moon of Endor. Your sitting at your campfire when you realize that bob is missing. You get your flashlight and look around the camp and the ship. On the far side of the ship you find him laying in a pool of his own blood. Standing behind his corpse is a furry imp like creature. It looks up at you and smiles a crimson smile of gore and fangs. You scream. ... ... ... 1 Year later. A ship lands having found your distress beacon. Commander "report trooper?" Trooper. "Our team found a bunch of rubble and two skeletons picked clean sir." Commander "Anything else." Trooper "No sir it looks like there were no survivors." A rustling can be heard in the bushes. The commander looks behind him nervously. Commander "ok lets get out of here.
