Yep, they’re back, this time it’s for a story that’ll fill in the blanks as to what happened on the forest moon of Endor after Return of the Jedi. The little teddy bears that became known as “Ewoks” were a big part of that trilogy-capping film, and were unlikely heroes in what would be a decisive battle of the war against the Empire.
They’re little, cute, kinda vicious, and honestly you either love ’em or hate ’em. If you’re in the former camp, and especially if you liked the classic Ewoks cartoon show, then you’re going to love the latest news emerging from Marvel.
The publisher has revealed that Star Wars: Ewoks will be a four issue mini-series, coming up this October. The title will star a cadre of the lil’ guys and gals, and will feature the return of Wicket, as a group of bounty hunters set their sights on Endor, and the cache of Imperial equipment that’s been left there.

“Forty years of EWOKS! Sometimes, a lot of the times, this job is just a dream–and for someone who grew up watching Return of the Jedi after every single Sunday Ski Trip, getting the chance to celebrate them and explore their world in the aftermath of the second Death Star’s fall is truly beyond belief,” Orlando shared. “When I was young, the Ewoks got me in the door–Wicket was my hero, a young hero like me (like I was back then) going on adventures with Princess Leia herself! Now, as an adult, it’s an honor to challenge Wicket and bring all-new Ewoks to Bright Tree Village–but not just that! There’s a lot more to Endor that we’ll be seeing for the first time since the Ewoks animated series–this is a powerful world, a powerful ecosystem, and we’ll be exploring it like never before! Join us for a caper like no other as Wicket races against time to outwit a dangerous crew of Imperial Thieves and save the Forest Moon!”
“The Ewoks are an often underestimated force in Star Wars. As a life-long Ewoks fan, I am EXTREMELY excited for the world to read this story and get a closer look into their world. It’s full of action, thrills, and heart. All things we’ve grown to love about Star Wars!” Editor Mikey J. Basso added.
