A fantastic Star Wars fan production has highlighted the true danger of the Ewoks, at least for the Empire's stormtroopers. Since 1983's Return of the Jedi – one of the higher-ranked Star Wars movies – the Ewoks have been a hilarious inclusion in the Star Wars franchise. On the surface cute and cuddly, the Ewoks have long been revered for their attacks against the Empire's stormtroopers during the Battle of Endor. This darker side of the teddy bear-like creatures has led to many equally dark depictions of the Ewoks including the game mode Ewok Hunt in Star Wars Battlefront II.
