10 Most Traumatic Events In Star Wars
9. Romba Trying To Wake Nanta
Star Wars and irritating alien species go together like scum and villainy. In the prequels, fans had to sit through the ordeal that was Jar Jar Binks. But, long before Porgs were even a blip on Disney's cash grabbing radar, Ewoks were introduced into the Star Wars Universe.
They were essentially child-sized teddy bears, who liked playing Tarzan and had a thing for cooking and eating humans alive. Yep, don't forget, originally they were going to eat Luke and Co.
No matter how you felt about them, the Ewoks played an important role in the final instalment of the original trilogy; untold numbers of them died fighting alongside the Rebels during the Battle of Endor. It was the death of one in particular that really hit home, though. When two Ewok warriors are sent flying from a blaster impact, one desperately tries to wake the other, only to realise his companion is dead.
What makes things worse is that the Rebel Alliance totally manipulated these guys into going to war for them. The only reason the Ewoks got onside is because they thought C-3PO was a god. When you realise these guys only died in the name of religious fanaticism it becomes a little more troubling.
