You may or may not be aware of the Star Wars Miniatures Game.
It's awesome and a lot of fun to play as well as collect.
Yesterday three of my friends and I decided to play a somewhat unorthodox game. Normally there are just two players facing off, but we wanted to have a four way battle.
We used this map of Endor's shield generator bunker:
The teams were these:
Imperials, Rebels, Ewoks, and Ugnaughts/Jawas.
It was to be a silly game indeed.
But the ewoks sided with the rebels you say?
Nope.
That's why I wanted to make this post. The story we conceived for this scenario was so funny to me I wanted to share it.
Naturally the imperials are there because of the Death Star, the rebels are there trying to stop them. The ugnaughts and jawa team is there trying to conquer the moon simply out of greed.
And the ewoks.
Those cute cuddly bear guys...
Well, the reason they're not with the rebels is this:
When Leia met Wicket she took her helmet off and it startled him. Before she could explain to him that it's just a hat, he stabbed her in the neck with his spear and killed her. He took her body back to his ewok camp and they ate her.
When Luke, Han, Chewbacca, R2, and 3PO got caught in that trap they cut themselves out. C-3PO was damaged in the fall.
The ewoks perceived him as a god, and they blamed Han, Luke, Chewie, and R2 for 3PO's death. They were taken back to the camp and cooked and eaten.
The ewoks were not happy about people invading their moon.
And that's why the ewoks were not sided with the rebels in our little game of Star Wars miniatures.
The ewoks actually did quite well in the game too. It ended up being a draw ending with one ugnaught and one ewok.
The imperials in the bunker were swarmed by ewoks. It was funny.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that. The image of ewoks swarming people and chopping them up and stabbing them just seems funny in a twisted way.
Yub Nub!
