Plot summary [ ]
Teebo and Latara are spending some time together on a cliff when they hear racket from below. A Condor dragon grabbed Wicket and is about to take off, every bit Kneesaa and Paploo are arguing with a group of Duloks, who have evidently ready them a trap. Teebo gets on the hang glider, jumps on the creature's leg and attacks information technology with his stone axe, causing it to crash downward. Once the other Ewoks have arrived, Chief Chirpa decides to punish Wicket for having engaged with Duloks and putting himself and his daughter in great danger.
A couple of days after, Wicket is serving his punishment, helping out Chukha-Trok clean some trees infected with mucus. They're interrupted by a large explosion coming from the Dulok swamp, and the Ewok woodsman thinks that they should non get involved simply determines that they should stop what they were doing and caput back dwelling house. Meanwhile, a badly injured Dulok, his right arm cut off, arrives at Bright Tree Village and is immediately captured past the guards. He's taken to Chief Chirpa, where he introduces himself equally Agluk and claims that Skull Ones have destroyed the Dulok Swamp, enslaved Gorneesh's tribe[3] and awakened the Griagh. The Ewok leader dismisses the story as false and orders his men to cage Agluk.
Kneesaa, who was nowadays during interrogation, heads out afterwards. She, Wicket and Paploo then gratis Agluk from the muzzle and put a rope around his neck, after he claimed that he tin accept them to where the Dulok swamp was and where the Griagh was spotted. As they're about to leave, Logray comes forth and stops Paploo with one of his spells. Wicket and Kneesaa continue on their ain and bump into Teebo and Latara. Teebo asks them why they are hanging around with Duloks, to which Wicket answers "he'due south our prisoner!" Kneesaa reminds her friend that she is his princess and commands him to back-trail her and Wicket. Latara as well offers to join the journey. Teebo proposes that the grouping could merely scout out the expanse.
Upon nearing the Dulok swamp, Agluk prompts the Ewoks to climb a tree. From the top of the tree, they see the enslaved Duloks at the center of a vast construction site,[two] where Renz orders the stormtroopers to execute a group of handcuffed Duloks. While the group does not sympathise a word, Agluk urges the Ewoks to free his tribesmen. Wicket determines that nobody should exist chained up, not fifty-fifty Duloks, while Teebo remains largely suspicious.
Meanwhile, as Paploo is existence interrogated past Chief Chirpa (who believes that his girl was kidnapped by a Dulok), Logray takes him away, pulling his ear.
As the group of young Ewoks enter a cave with Agluk, he gives Kneesaa a light with a struggling Wistie inside. The princess mutters that he's a beast and the group follows him through the underground maze, where Wicket spots some bones and skulls on the basis. Suddenly, Agluk demands that they be quiet and fires a equalizer. A rumble is heard in the altitude.
Logray and Paploo encounter some stormtroopers sitting past the river, and the shaman holds up the Sunstar and chants. A large moving ridge rises from the river, scaring the intruders. The two Ewoks then proceed their trip upward the nearby hill, as Logray announces that they're to speak to Charal. Paploo claims that he'southward non scared of her, and he's told that he should exist. Logray introduced an plainly confused Paploo equally his apprentice and fills the witch in on Agluk'southward claims. While she is not surprised about arrival of the Galactic Empire (whom she calls "offworlders"), she does not believe the Griagh exists. She queries Logray about the Sunstar and one time she touches information technology, she becomes possessed by its ability and has a vision of Darth Vader and stormtroopers. She claims that she must accept the gem and a wizard duel ensues between her and Logray. Paploo stabs her in the hip, she pushes him away, and he'south left to fight reanimated Dulok skeletons coming out of the soil. Attacked by vines with thorns, Logray drops the Sunstar. As Charal is about to run away with it, Paploo manages to reach his slingshot, and he fires at the witch'due south ring, turning her into a raven. The powerful gem is in Logray's easily again, but he notices that it's weak from the battle.
Agluk falls asleep with a equalizer in his hands. Teebo suggests cracking him in the skull until he gives upwards the key to the lantern where the Wistie Zrani is held convict. Latara prohibits him to, fearing for his life, but Wicket goes alee and manages to accomplish the primal with his spear. Agluk wakes up and starts shooting in Wicket'due south direction. Teebo runs to save his friend and Kneesaa manages to gratuitous Zrani, who is adamant to get them out. As Wicket manages to trip Agluk, the Griagh emerges and devours him. Wicket and Teebo assail the beast, but they cannot trounce it and they join the girls and Zrani on the way out of the cave. Latara worries that Teebo might have fallen a victim to the beast, but as he turns upwards, he says that the Griagh retreated on its own. The group decides to warn the hamlet.
Logray and Paploo, likewise on their way home, meet a grouping of stormtroopers who are about to execute a group of Duloks. Every bit the Imperial soldiers are about to capture them, Kneesaa, Wicket, Teebo, and Latara surprise them from the summit of a nearby cliff and a boxing is inevitable. Latara manages to steal a blaster and starts shooting, to Paploo'due south surprise, as Wicket frees the Duloks. Suddenly, the Griagh breaks out of the colina and a couple of Duloks and stormtroopers perish. Latara is wounded by a stormtrooper, and, as Teebo rushes to save her, one of the creature'due south heads trips him, but she manages to recover chop-chop and shoot again.
Seeing that the battle cannot be won otherwise, Logray prompts Kneesaa to help him get to the nearby ridge and asks her to agree his hand, as the Sunstar needs every bit much energy as possible. He says a prayer to the Golden One and throws the jewel in one of the Griagh'south mouths. The Wistie Zrani, recovered from her captivity, appears out of nowhere and jumps on the gem, thus giving information technology more free energy. The Sunstar explodes, destroying the Griagh in the process. The stormtroopers retreat, as Main Chirpa and a group of his scouts arrive on ponies. Wicket casually greets him, as smoke is all the same coming from the hole remaining after Griagh, and some dead Duloks and stormtroopers are seen lying nearby.
That evening, at the Bright Tree Village square, Chief Chirpa tells the Ewoks that Endor has been invaded and that the Duloks have scattered. He tells them that the Sunstar is gone, but that the Gold One is watching over them. He then invites Teebo to join him and the former shaman apprentice is appointed to the condition of a warrior and presented with the Sacred Horn of the Soul Trees. He promises to remain strong and loyal to his young man Ewoks. The Ewok chief then presents a flame which is to burn forever in the memory of dauntless Wistie Zrani, and the tribe starts celebrating both honors.
Eight months later, every bit he'south hiding from stormtroopers, Wicket spots an unconscious Princess Leia and pokes her with his spear. Every bit she comes round, she tells him to cut it out.
Evolution [ ]
The publisher'southward summary on the official Dark Horse Comics website originally called the Ewoks' rivals "the Agluks." Some members of the Jedi Council Forums were surprised that this never-before-mentioned species was taking the place of the Ewoks' traditional rivals, the Duloks, a species that had notably appeared in the Ewoks blithe serial.[four] [5] The final version identified them as the Duloks, which writer Zack Giallongo later stated was the original intention.[6]
Continuity [ ]
8 months pass between the main story of Shadows of Endor and its epilogue, which shows a scene from Star Wars: Episode 6 Render of the Jedi. Zack Giallongo claims the two fabricated-for-Television set films, Caravan of Backbone: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, accept place during these eight months,[7] only Wicket learns some rudimentary Basic in the Ewok films, and he knows none in Return of the Jedi.
In keeping with their portrayal in Render of the Jedi, Teebo and Paploo's characterizations are effectively switched from their portrayal in the Ewoks cartoon: Teebo is a bold warrior in a relationship with Latara, while Paploo is a shy and quiet Ewok who wishes to be Logray's apprentice.
