Title: Spacefaring Ewoks
Post by: CarmeloLabadie on July 28, 2021, 09:34:18 am

If the Ewoks eventually developed spaceflight what should their stats be, here is my take:

Traits: Strong, resilient: They trashed technologically superior troops
Ethos: spiritualistic, militaristic , collectivist
Preferred planet: Jungle
Weapons: Guns: they fight up close and personal
Government: Theocratic Oligarchy

What do you think?

I don't really think we can extrapolate from what we've seen to be honest. 

I mean, it's a stone age civilization of hunter gatherers from what we've seen.  It's going to have to change along the road to develop into a spacefaring nation.  Would they lose their religion?  Would they come to revere the more advanced technology over their own melee weapons?  What are the impacts of God (3PO) telling them this magnificent tale of other worlds?

A skinny shaved Ewok might make good starship crew, though - less burden on the life support, pushes buttons just fine.

Little presumptuous to extrapolate metabolism from what we've seen.  They appeared to be setting up quite the feast for the numbers in the village before goldenrod started floating around his chair. 

I'm not sure if it's legends or canon but there's some extracurricular publications on how crazy strong and vicious the little teddy bears are as well.

I don't know that they're smart enough to push the right buttons, for that matter.
