My friend has informed me that Ewoks where orignally intended to be Wookies but when it came to filming the moive it was changed..... He said it was because -=1=- That the stormtroppers wouldn't stand a chance against a village of Wookies so a smaller "version" was created. -=2=- that the costumes would cost to much.. -=3=- that it general looked better with some cute little (saleable) charaters that looked like teddy bears. i.e. the kid/mother appeal thing Any suggests, disaggrements or evidence backing up this statement would be gladly appreciated.

Do you know if they originally were going to put the stop motion puppet over the human actor as they did in the SE? If so, Han would still step over his tail. What was the original intention for this scene using a human? Also do you notice his lines to Jabba are identical to Greedo.

Then inside there are 24 different sickers (which you only get one at a time) which I don't know what they all are yet. Also the gum contained in this all day sucker has differnt prints but buggered if I know what they are. They cost 50 cents Australian which is about 30 cents US I think.
