10 Crazy Star Wars Fan Theories People Believed

10. Ewoks Happily Ate Defeated Stormtroopers

Remember at the end of Return of the Jedi when the Ewoks were using Stormtrooper helmets as drums? It was a cute repurposing of their armor, but it appeared far more sinister for some fans. There's a theory out there that the Ewoks happily ate their fallen enemies, and the theory has some teeth.

Earlier in the film, those same cute, fuzzy little warriors had Han and Luke on a spit, ready to roast them alive. It's not a complete stretch of the imagination to connect the dots between that scene and the tons of dead Stormtroopers conveniently littering the surface of Endor.

This theory has been debated for decades, and for most people, it's pretty far out there. That being said, there's a lot of after-the-fact canon references that suggest it's true. In the Shattered Empire comic (pictured), there's a comment that suggests Ewoks enjoyed snacking on their defeated enemies.

If that's not enough to prove the theory as true, there's a book by Christian Blauvelt titled "How Not To Get Eaten By Ewoks, A New Guide To Surviving The Star Wars Galaxy." The book was published with Disney's full approval, so a once-crazy theory may have been confirmed after-the-fact via some Disney fan-service.
