    Star Wars question

    This has always bothered me. Ok, so the band of rebels, led by Luke, Han and Leia, lands on Endor in Return of the Jedi. Leia ends up separated from the group, while Luke, Han and the others are captured in a large net engineered by the Ewoks.

    The Ewoks then take their captives, tie them all to what look like spits, and carry them into their forest village for what looks like some kind of large ceremonial feast. Meanwhile our heroes are tied to these spits while fires are light beside them and the Ewoks dance about.

    Were the Ewoks about to eat them? Do Ewoks eat humans? Was this simply a human sacrifice? Is one better than the other? This would also explain why, after the battle with the Imperial forces on Endor, you see a lot of Stormtrooper armor lying about but no bodies. As if the Ewoks cracked open the armor like lobsters and feasted hungrily on the human flesh therein. Also, the Ewok drummer is beating on empty Stormtrooper helmets during the Ewok celebration song at the end of the movie. WHERE DID THE HEADS GO?

    Am I the only person bothered by the fact that Ewoks seem to be horrible, flesh-eating monsters? Or are they just omnivores, which doesn't make eating humans all that weird?

    I think it's the latter, but you're right, it's kinda scary to think those cute teddy bear like creatures could eat human flesh like that.

        Didn't C3PO say "you are to be the main course in a feast in my honor" or something like that? I guess when you're honoring your god, you'll eat just about anything (or anyone!)

        You know what has always bothered me about the scene where they all get caught in the net - Luke asks Han if he can reach his lightsaber. Why couldn't Luke just use the force to get it himself???

          Yes I would eat an Ewok. He would probably have to be cooked first though.

          And yeah, force powers are generally way underutilized throughout all the movies. Probably my biggest gripe with the movies, really. Like, if you can just force choke someone out, why are you bothering with all this lightsaber nonsense?

            Flesh eaters or not, the Ewoks had some pretty good music. That song they played at the end was awesome

            Here it is!

              Just admit that you would spend all your time using the jedi mind trick on chicks.

                  Ewoks sucked so much.

                  They should have gone with the idea of it being the Wookie home planet.

                    Well see. If you would eat an Ewok, it would make sense they would eat you.

                      I think they were going to eat them or scare them. Ewoks probably got tired of aliens calling them these cute little creatures. They had to go the eating others route. So yes they would eat humans.

                          If I were a scientist, you know what I would clone? Ewok's!

                          If you were an Ewok, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

                              Aren't humans "horrible, flesh-eating monsters"? Why would the ewoks be any worse?

                              I wouldn't eat an ewok though, they remind me too much of the stupid ****zu dogs.
