Legend

this brave Ewok was one of the many young adults who were living in Bright Tree Village, on the Forest Moon of Endor, during the era of the Galactic Civil War. The son of Deej and Shodu, Wicket was an inquisitive and somewhat rebellious Ewok, and was often banished from participating in the rituals and ceremonies of his home village. He was the Ewok who befriended Cindel Towani when her family's shuttle crashed on Endor. He helped Cindel and Mace rescue their parents from the Gorax, and also helped liberate a group of Ewoks held captive by the Marauders. Later, it was Wicket who found Leia Organa on Endor's forest moon, after her speederbike crashed during a chase with several Imperial scout troopers. Wicket was instrumental in convincing Chief Chirpa and the shaman Logray to accept her presence among the Ewoks, and he later helped the Alliance gain access to the Empire's shield generator. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Wicket built his own home within the burned-out bunker of the Imperial garrison, and eventually married his longtime friend Kneesaa. The pair returned to Bright Tree Village, and were elected to lead the village. Wicket himself was named tribal chief, succeeding Chirpa as a leader.
