Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Core Rulebook
Intelligent omnivores native to one of the moons orbiting Endor, Ewoks are almost unknown prior to the battle of Endor. Ewoks live in tree-dwelling tribes with gender-based division of labor; males hunt, forage, and make weapons, while females raise young and handle other domestic tasks. Ewok culture revolves around complex animistic beliefs involving the giant trees of the forest moon.
Although technologically primitive, Ewoks are clever, inquisitive, and inventive. Skittish and wary when first introduced to machines, their curiosity soon overcomes fear.
