EWOK ELDERS

These Ewok elders are three of the oldest Ewoks in the village, as well as their best remembered warriors. Because most Ewoks do not live to be so old, we thought it would be fun to tell you a short tale about each one so that in their passing their memory will live on.

Twirly was best known for his signature mustache. He was known to be an eccentric, but was one fierce warrior. Before fading into retirement, he was in charge of the Ewoks military forces. At the Battle of Endor it was said that even in his old age Twirly had taken the lives of 63 stormtroopers singlehandedly.

Ghost was the only albino Ewok to ever be born in his village. When he was conceived, the village was sure that he would quickly perish due to his coloring and his inability to hide from the predators of the forest. To protect him, his parents kept him isolated and hidden in their hut in hopes it would keep him safe. He would watch the other children play and wished that one day he could too. During the day, he would entertain himself by watching the bird like creatures of the forest soar through the air and wished that he too could just fly away. Then one day, that is just what he did. He used a bunch of household items to construct the first ever Ewok hang glider. The other Ewoks were amazed, because they had never conceived that they could take to the air. Ghost built his hang glider in the image of a large bird like creature that was known to fly through the forest and feed upon the members of the Ewok village. From that day forward, Ghost would spend his time flying high up above and when he would see one of these large beings lunging toward a member of his community he would dive down with a spear in hand and remove all danger to his companions. He later constructed a mask with the fowl's face to better blend in with them as he soared up above. He later trained other Ewoks to fly in hang gliders to keep watch over the village when he could not and later led them into war at the Battle of Endor. Sadly Ghost did not survive the event, but his contributions to the village were never forgotten.

Longbeard was well known throughout the village because he wore two long sharp nails atop his head as a trophy to remember the day he saved the village from an all out slaughter at the hands of one enormous hungry beast. Although it happened in his younger years, Longbeard was admired for his bravery for he was able to cut off two digits from the creature with a fellow Ewok's axe and sent the creature running away, never to return.

DK Star Wars Attack of the Authors East Coast Tour

So a few weeks ago, Dad read on TheForce.net that there was a DK Star Wars Attack of the Authors East Coast Tour coming to the Tribeca Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Manhattan today May 7, 2011. Dad read that there was going to be appearances there by talented Star Wars illustrators Chris Reiff and Chris Trevas, as well as, Her Universe founder Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Also in attendance were costumed members of the 501st Legion, Darth Vader, Padme Amidala, and members of the R2 Builders Club, who brought a full-sized R2-D2 droid replica! Can't tell you how much fun we had today. I was stuck to Ashley Eckstein like glue and followed her everywhere she went. She was so nice. It was so cool. If you have the opportunity to go to future events on the tour I highly recommend going.

Dad's "Jedi Starfighter" featured on the Front Page of Imperial Shipyards

This vehicle is not new, but rather is from one of the first posts here on the blog. Dad created the Jedi Starfighter for the first custom action figure that he ever made. It was created from a defective Ahsoka Tano action figure that he turned into Arianna, a completely different Togruta Jedi Padawan. He never really showcased any of his custom vehicles on the Star Wars forums until yesterday, so that is why the vehicle is only getting any recognition on the Imperial Shipyards now.
