Ewok star wars7/1/2023 The rustic retreat invites guests to explore the natural wonders of the rainforest and enjoy a simpler life. ![]() The treehouses are joined by a series of walkways and zip lines high in the forest canopy. If you’re looking to experience the Ewok way of life, have a look at Finca Bellavista – a sustainable community of treehouses located in the south Pacific coastal region of Costa Rica. They also had their own bi-monthly Ewoks comic which was published by an imprint of Marvel Comics. The Ewoks proved to be so popular, that they were given two spin-off films and their own animated television show called Star Wars: Ewoks which was aired by ABC for two seasons from 1985 to 1987. Several scenes, such as the iconic Speeder Bike Chase and the Ewok Ambush, were shot in one of the park’s many redwood groves in Marin County, near to the home of George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch. The old-growth temperate rainforest is home to the world’s largest trees, an ideal location for an arboreal species to call home. The Ewoks are named after the Miwok, a Native American tribe indigenous to the national park. Scenes in the dense jungle of Endor were shot in Redwood National Park in California. However, through incredible bravery and teamwork, the Ewoks help to defeat the evil Empire by destroying the second Death Star. When advanced technology meets primitive weaponry in a galactic space battle, you would expect there to be only one winner. In The Return of the Jedi, the Ewoks assisted the Rebel Alliance during the Battle of Endor. They used hang-gliders as vehicles to get from one treehouse platform to the other, were skilled in forest survival and were physically strong enough to overpower a fully-grown combat-trained human. Standing one meter tall, the Ewoks enjoy a technology-free existence, living off the forest around them.ĭespite their cute appearance with their fur and bright eyes, and the fact that they only had two fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand, they were not to be messed with. They had a ‘central village’ of thatched-roof huts and suspended knotted rope bridges linked up to the more dispersed tree huts. You might like to take a look at one of our bespoke projects, At The Water’s Edge, to see how we clustered a little ‘village’ of treehouses together at a project in Surrey.Įwoks lived high up among the trees, to protect them from predators. Treehouses have always been included in some of the greatest fictional classics, which is what gives them such a magical feel, and for us the only thing better than a fictional treehouse is a whole village of fictional Ewok treehouses. Adorably fuzzy yet deadly with a spear, Ewoks live high among the canopy in villages built on wooden platforms. The Ewoks are a plucky and charismatic species, who live on the forest moon of Endor, the smallest moon located in the Outer Rim Territories. George Lucas always intended for a more primitive species to overthrow the Galactic Empire, and had originally planned on using Wookies for the job but decided against it and created a new species instead. Ewok treehouses and the forest moon of Endor ![]() We all love Star Wars for many reasons the classic movie moments, the countless twists and turns, the incredible imagery and the unparalleled imagination of its creator, but most of all, for one particularly furry galactic creature that shares our love of the great outdoors.
