The Ewoks weren't celebrating the defeat of the Empire, they were celebrating a successful hunt.
That is kind of scary to think about, it would make a great horror movie though
There is a new Ewok hunt mode in Battlefield 2.
They couldnât give two shits about the second Death Star. They got a buckethead feast, thatâs all that matters. Besides, the Death Stars debris probably killed all of the ewoks anyway
Max Power I know itâs fun
Lucky Llama I remember watching a video somewhere saying that the Ewoks did survive the death star debris but itâs sort of messed up their moon and caused a bunch of earthquakes
-"The Trees start speaking Ewok"
-"confused stormtroopers screamings"
And THAT'S why you burn the entire forest along with the furry little griblies to the ground!

Yeah makes them being just pawns even more tragic
CZcams a.i. You honestly think we are all clones, donât you? News flash: we arenât.
CZcams a.i. by endor there was next to no clones left, they were almost entirely trained imperial citizens by then. Although if my memory serves the 501st were there so at least some were clones in the battle

This is what the BF2 campaign should have been, a look at the perspective of the Empire's soldiers
Done in the right way. The true horror of war like the Umbara Arc from The Clone Wars series. Like the 501st journal from the original Battlefront 2 campaign.
@@bradmorales4002 exactly
Exactly. They started out at the Battle of Endor and only 4 missions in do you switch sides. Such a disappointment.
@@Lexie_Tyler05 yeah it was kinda stupid
"wow the emperor died, better switch sides and kill one of my friends"
People always look at the Empire at think it deserved to fall, but no one likes to acknowledge the necessity in tyranny. Under both the new and Old Republics, people and races squabbles like they were bartering in a market, the Empire was tough for a reason, the military was stern and uncompromising of large scale failure, as all martial organisations should be, and frankly speaking, if one (albeit very influential and borderline omniscient) old lad was able to set the entire galaxy on itself, then that Republic deserved to fall for failing to keep its precious balance.
Casual fan: Look! How cute!
Me: *Flashback of Ewok Hunt*
Vietnam flashback
I feel you
Play a round of Ewok Hunt, how hard could it be?
*5 Minutes Later*
Oh crap oh crap oh crap!
Lord Frostwind I watched Cartoonz video when it came out thinking it would be like halo's infection mode, watched one video and decided to try it, I lasted around 5.5 minutes, I haven't played it since. THE HORROR!!!!
Lord Frostwind you should hear me when I play Ewok hunt with my friends. If I start as an Ewok or become one, all you hear me say is âWub wubâ over and over again. Truly terrifying.
They should play the yup nub song while Ewoks are killing everyone
Ewok Hunt should have been actually hunting Ewoks rather than being hunted by Ewoks.
The Drego The Ewoks pulled a Uno reverse card
Endor was Space Vietnam, and my favorite Star wars legends canon is Storm troopers with PTSD from the Teddy Bears on Space Vietnam.
Ewoks (after seeing the Death Star blow up overhead): Yub Yub, motherfuckers!
Shouldn't it be considered Endor-nam?
The Clone Wars Vietnam was the battle of Umbara
*space fortunate son*
h i canât forget Felucia!
If you ever played Ewok Hunt, imagine the actual terror those stormtroopers felt
I finally fixed my Copy of BF2,Abd itâs both the most intense and Funniest thing ever
Stormtroopers: *dying in thousands*
Clone troopers: *First time?*
*Laughs in Imperial Guardsmen*
It was the 501st on endor. They were clones.
@@geoffrogers7590 Yeah but the clones were old by endor so most got replace by normal human.
Geoff Rogers they started replacing clones sometime between episodes 3 and 4. The empire retired them and made the claim that they were unfit for battle
Kurt Trahan the planet broke before the guard did
Yes, Endor was a nightmare... I *still* have nightmares from that battle and the following nights. And all of this was because we didnât annihilate an alien species. We learned our lesson... and paid for it with nearly the entire 501st Legion.

Did you know Lieutenant Welter of the 46th regiment or Sergeant Julio of the 392nd battalion?
Imperial shocktroopers are Palpatine's personal elite stormtroopers. If you thought it was bad, then you know it was bad. What did you think About working with the 501st? It's hard to believe that both Palpatine and Vader's best forces could handle them.
I like your Profile. Reminds me of 2015.
Well Thrawn did warn Palpatine in Legends not to underestimate the local population on Endor.
It's canonical that the Rebels had to bribe the Ewoks with food rations not to eat the living captured Imperials. Probably meant a couple were killed before the Rebels realized what their allies were doing, and Ewoks prefer to cook their prey alive. It's also likely the Ewoks ate all the dead that the Rebels didn't take off the battlefield, and considering how short staffed the Rebels always are they probably focused on collecting their own dead rather than Imperials.
Just goes to show how much you can get away with when you're a cute teddy bear. Even eating sentients!
Oh and just several years after the battle of Endor their is a Ewok slicer good enough at the job to work for New Republic Intelligence. Someone whose parents were using stone age tech, what she grew up with, could understand basic and be a master slicer in just a few years after being given access to the technology.
Yea that was when Hera and Han had there little "Who's ship is better thing"
Srithor oh come on this again? WE HAVE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!! Heâs American end of story, kinda a hard requirement in this country to become president
@Srithor
Proof?
Just because the man that ruled the empire was a tyrant doesnât mean everyone within the system was evil
Agree. Being a stormtrooper could have been just a job and a way to get off whatever planet you came from. When you think about it and ignoring the Sith and the Jedi, Star Wars was about 2 different groups of people with different viewpoints of how the galaxy should have been ran.
Accomplices to evil.
@@NiiRubra "From my point of view, the jedi are evil" just because you view something as evil, doesn't mean others will view the same thing.
I mean, maybe not the everyday citizens. But if you willingly took up the position of basically enforcer of said tyrant, becoming a grunt for a xenophobic force that enslaved and destroyed planets, you're not much better.
FoOLiSh GuAc BoWL MeRCHanT whatâs your problem?
From some legends material the Ewoks had been preparing for a fight for some time. They had been studying the empires ground forces since they had arrived. Individual stormtroopers had been ambushed and their equipment taken and studied. Wicket had witnessed an AT-ST trip and fall so the Ewoks knew the machines did have vulnerabilities.
Their catapults, trip wires, and other traps were Cleary made with the intention of combating the Empire and most lore states that the Ewoks and imperial were butting heads before ROJ which explains their initial reaction to the rebels.
The Rebels did negotiate with the Ewoks to spare the survivors from being eaten. (Or more accurately, Leia negotiated the stormtroopers' safety in exchange for a few crates of rations, which the Ewoks enjoyed more than humans usually did.)
*Hears war cries in the middle of the Endorian Night*
Stormtrooper #1: Ugh...who's staying up to keep watch?
Generation Tech did a great video about that very thing a few months ago. They described how Stormtroopers hid in caves at night, occasionally hearing the blood curdling screams of other Stormtrooper groups being disemboweled in the distance, and hoping they weren't next.
During the Imperial evacuation it's more likely: So is anyone planning on sleeping tonight? Where are the stims? How many days can you use these without adverse effects? *twitch*
"Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and um, screaming." - Ian Malcom 1997
Scout Trooper Sergeant Major: "No. We're being hunted. Run. Towards the shed."
Scout Trooper Private: *Dashes* "Don't have to tell me twice!"
Scout Trooper Sergeant Major: *Unfolds and anchors the stock of his weapon, then pauses abruptly when an Ewok with a toxin-tipped spear pops out from the foliage behind him and snarls* "Clever girl..."
We were going to the only place in the world where the goose chase you...
The Empireâs biggest mistake was putting the shield generator for the super weapon on the very moon everyone would be happy if they obliterated
No, it was shutting down the cloning facilities on Kamino
There is a great video that someone else did on why ewoks are terrifying that went more into detail about their feats that shows how great they are. Top 3 reasons why they are much more terrifying than they appear are
1. They get the drop on Luke (a space wizard) and Han (who took a significant portion of the Empire's resources to be caught the first time) without even trying.
2. One of them figures out how to both turn on, AND fly off with a speeder bike without even making a single wrong move.
3. They gave Leia a new dress almost immediately. There was clearly not enough time to make the dress, so the former wearer of that dress was likely killed and eaten.

"Clearly uhhhhh... force phasing ability"
when we first arrived at Endor we thought it would be another routine garrison assignment, long hours of looking at nothing and endless drills. oh how we were wrong about that. when we first arrived one soldier was being dragged off into the shuttle that we had just gotten off of he was shouting " THE NIIIGHT! DON'T GO INTO THE NIGHT YOU WILL NEVER RETURN !" I would later find out he was the only survivor of a 25 man patrol team that should have been my first clue standard imperial protocol says patrols should only consist of 5 men any more is a waist of imperial resources. But that fact slipped my mind all I could think about was that man screaming, warning me. Some deep primitive part of me told me to run as far away as I can but the logical part of me told me to stay and try to survive until l was rotated out. about a an hour after we landed all new arrivals were brought into the conference room the base commander said " first off what you are about to see will shock you there are buckets under your seats if anyone needs to use them." after he said that a massive hologram displayed something that I will never forget there was a storm trooper hanging from a tree by his right ankle every inch of his body was covered in mud and blood he had no head and no arms what proceeded was 30 minutes of unspeakable horror storm troopers mutilated and butchered in every which way. At the end of the slide show I asked the base commander if those were the men on the patrol i had heard about he said "no we weren't able to recover any of the men from that patrol" he told me just as i walked out the door that the 30 some men in the slide show were the only bodies they had ever found and that we only found bodies when they wanted us to find them he also told me that at least 50 men are lost at this base a month and he told me " if you want your parents to get your body back i suggest you do it now and do it yourself." I knew exactly what he meant without him having to say it. no one slept that night or any other night. how did i make it out you ask well ill tell you this I already told you my fate I WARNED YOU

@@theunknownone5990 We can't be sure about ALL of them being cannibals. Cannibalism is the eating of your own species, not just lifeforms in general. Going by Generation Teck's logic would imply we humans have been cannibals since the very first of us.
I've always been bothered by the (probably fake) xenophobic and pro-human mentality.
@@Charolette21 Humanity First!
@@Charolette21 these things may look cute but are quite sinister
I always wanted to see the ground battle from the Empires perspective because it went disastrously wrong fast. My thanks.
When you realize the Ewoks in their primitive days are more advanced than everyone else in the galaxy but they just don't have the same tools.
Exactly. They may be primitive but they possess extraordinary intelligence and are highly adaptive not to mention knowledge of the terrain and the fact that we only see one group of ewoks think about the likelihood of thousands of different tribes that may not all get along the ewoks were most likely already conditioned and battle hardened for centuries or longer by the time the Empire arrived

@@howdoichangemyusername9802 true and I think it's meant to be a parallel to many similar events throughout history that whole "what if history had unfolded differently" kind of thing star wars, like most science fiction, is a study of the human condition as it pertains to history

Great. Now I have an image of a teddy bear holding his rock sideways...

I like the slightly more sinister characterization of Ewoks and my favorite is one that strikes a balance between cuddly, understanding aliens, and ruthless primal warriors, and I wish this is how it would have originally been. I think Return of the Jedi suffers slightly for it's depiction of Ewoks, as It clearly portrays them easily dismantling Stormtroopers who are quite frankly inept, incompetent and ill suited to fight against the Ewoks. We see their Stormtrooper armour easily penetrated by primitive weaponry and even their AT-STs effortlessly crushed by log traps. It's clearly set up to show the empire as being triumphantly defeated in that almost fun cartoon-y way that was common at the time in movies and while some of it is certainly amusing it makes the Empire just seem like a push over when it really matters. Given how effective the Ewoks were against them I would've loved to have had more development showing how and why the Ewoks were able to pull off such a crushing victory so effortlessly, but with what is portrayed directly on the screen all we have is a light hearted almost cuddly species banding together with their simple ways to help the good guys beat the bad guys. Sure, they probably have no qualms about eating people still, but they seemed more than happy to be friendly when all was said and done. It's one of the biggest things in the original trilogy that makes it hard to take the more gritty and serious re-framing of the Empire and the Stormtroopers seriously for me as we have direct evidence to the contrary that is difficult to conveniently explain away.
What!? You believe that New Republic propagandafest of a film? Disney would like to speak with you!
...oh wait.
Stormtroopers just wasn't trained for Ewoks and got caught up by surprise.
Stuff happens. Ad an example the US underestimated Vietnam in that war also and got routed in some a lot of battles despite material superiority because they were less familiar with territory and fought a type of war they were not trained for.
Stormtrooper armor was also designed more for traditional solid bullets and blaster shots. They can be disabled easily by them but their survival rate post attack is far higher, which means less need to retrain and replace the lost soldiers.
The Tarkin Doctorine also made them less individualistic so it became even more top down than before. That means less observations and ideas from the bottom from real situations will get channeled to the top. The Empire is more interested in using its machinery and super weapons to assert hard and soft power. That means there will be situations they are not good for if the higher commanders do not think of it.
That said, someone made a video about them outclassing the rebel troops in the first scene of IV by comparing casualty rates and positioning. Stormtroopers had less casualties, less shots fired but also taking out more troops on rebel side.
This is despite them being funneled through a narrow entrance where they were vulnerable while the rebels had good firing positions and cover.
They are no match for Clone Troopers or main characters but in general they hold of their role well.
I think what most people forget is thisâŠSTAR WARS IS FOR KIDS!!! Sure a galactic regime army defeated by some primal teddy bears is a little cartoony, but thatâs the point, kids will love it. I remember when I first saw this movie as a kid I loved it and didnât question how plausible it would have been, I still loved it.
Disney: itâs legends now.
Me: youâre still canon to me
Funny :-)
But... who is that "Disney"? never heard. Must be immaginary...
Before the dark days.......before The Empire.
Hello my lord.

Naaaa, humans would become the diplomats of the Covenant.
Merging of eclectic cultures and ideas is something we're good at. We also don't look very physically threatening. We're intelligent, eloquent, ambitious, but we look soft and small.
I can very easily picture humans becoming the species that makes first contact in the Covenant. I can see a human diplomat in charge of a fleet, landing on the world of an uncontacted race, dressed up all regal, spitting platitudes about the Prophets, flanked by two huge armored Elites.
It would be a very good one/two punch effect.
"Hello, here is the Covenant and all it can bring. Join us. Or die. My friends here are real good at that."
I like this interpretation.
I could see this
Matt Digioia itâs not like the humans and sanâshyuum had an alliance before the forerunner-flood war.
I see humanity being a scalpel. If the diplomats failed, then in come the special forces. Most Elites would be unimpressed with Humanity, until you start talking to the Spec Ops ones.

Let's be honest here, if Lucas had some balls to not give the good guys plot armor in Return of the Jedi. The empire would've swept through the Ewoks like that helicopter scene from Apocalypse Now.
Well no the Ewoks are smart and will not just attack the imperials straight on they would be traps everwhere they could just kill you everywhere would be dangerous not knowing if that day would be your last
@@TheLord-ALTERLEMOffical Well yeah, but your implying a primitive species that has barely left it's own stone age would stand a chance against legions of a highly sophisticated and technologically advanced military.
@@spimpsmacker6422 like those stormies new the area like the ewoks did but good ponit the ewoks were proanaly worse than the stormtroopers and proably hunted bigger creatures
@@spimpsmacker6422 bruh look at real history, primitive people have beat armies that both extremely outnumbered and outgunned them. Look at the Maori vs the British. The Maori were using sticks and stones and were outnumbered as much as ten to one in some battles but managed to win some battles. Admittedly few but the point still stands.

#AskEck Are any of the "zombie"-like plagues in Star Wars still canon?
Not sure if it is cannon (or was ever to begin with), but I remember reading an official novel where Solo is caught on a smuggling run and taken to a prison ship. On the ship the imperials were experimenting on the inmates with a zombie-like virus which obviously breaks containment.
@@Protorit This is Legends story called Death Troopers. Really good, but unfortunately not cannon.
Yes. Blackwing virus is still canon.
starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Project_Blackwing
Geonosian Brain-Worms are still canon, and Doctor Aphra introduced a similarly vile parasite.
Let's not forget how brutal Gary the stormtrooper got when he ran over that one ewok with his buddy's speeder bike. He's probably the one that triggered the whole mess in the first place.
I'm very happy that you brought back your old outro. Always puts a smile on my face.
The Emperor to Luke: -" There is the best legion guarding the shield generator"...
HAHAHA they all got their asses handed to them.
Stormtrooper posted to Endor: "This place is hell. Get me off this dirt ball before one of those teddy bears eat me!"
Clone trooper after surviving his 4th tour of Felucia: "To you, it's hell, to me, it's Tuesday. Now get out there and fight like a man!"
Ok, I knew Ewoks weren't benign little teddy bears. But poison arrows? Hacking the imps faces off with axes? Eating POWs? Good grief.
But there are worse places to be posted, like Felucia because even the plants want to eat you.
Agreed

#AskEck We see the first rebel attack on the death star use a Lucrehulk-class battleship and 1000 fighters. What do you think the outcome would be if the rebels attacked with the Malevolence? Do you think the Ion cannons would have an effect on the death star? Would it set them behind schedule? Could it get an ion blast off before the death star could charge their superlaser and fire?

you went all GenerationTech on this one, didnt you?
And FINALLY you answered my question, even if it was someone else asking. I also think humans would take a place as engineers in the covenant. Human tech is all about brutal efficiency. The wraith clearly employs much more advanced technology than the scorpion, but it's too showy and nowhere near as effective in direct battle. Human design mixed with covenant tech would be incredible.
I do see the humans rising above the lower species of the covenant, at least in time. The grunts might be tougher and stronger than humans, but they're rather cowardly and generally quite incompetent. Jackals are impressive marksmen, but they do seem more fragile than humans. Still it's never been physical prowess that set humans apart, but skill and training, as well as determination in battle. An elite or brute could tear a humans limbs off, but we've seen this clear physical advantage overcome before through sheer skill. I think this is why the elites had a degree of respect for humans throughout the war; our effectiveness in spite of technological and physical disadvantages. While I'm sure humans would remain a lower caste for a century or 2, I think we might surpass the brutes in position eventually. Brutes never struck me as great leaders or thinkers, and the elites hate them. Prophets and elites would probably recognize that humans are the only species in the covenant that rivals them in strategic thinking and innovation. I also have a feeling the prophets would be keen on pushing the spartan program forward (possibly expanding it to include other races) with covenant tech and incorporating new generations of spartans into spec forces units and eventually the honor guard.
also generally speaking, i think humans would not be afraid to challenge the prophets and elites for more power. i'd suspect a revolt would be possible after a few decades if humans are not given what they believe their due is. now imagine that war, with humans having close to covenant tech at the least, with knowledge of their tactics, home planets, etc.
damn i'd love to see this alternate universe!
@@theyellowjesters In such a case I can see humans trying to drive a wedge in the covenant before acting. I can see them getting the grunts, jackals, and drones on their side if they were to have a plan with any chance of success. The less devoted foot soldier races would be keen on helping defeat the covenant if humans offered them a deal where if they defeat the covenant they all go their own way, free of the prophet's manipulations.
Maybe humans would find out what the halo rings really do, and find a way to broadcast proof across the entire covenant at once, exposing the entire covenant religion as a lie.
@@Jarsia ya that's a plausible method of going about seizing power. Again I'd love to see how this alternate universe plays out. :)
Finally, someone who recognizes the true nature of those diabolic monsters.

@@flare9757 you still have to raid some. Gotta get a supply of steaks for the boys
Imperial Shocktrooper Yes we should have, but with no command structure, no one in my squad really knew what to do.
@@imperialstormtrooper8447 Yall learn that the midget Chewbacca's are assholes. Also did you ever see Chewy banging out a female ewok?
@@davidgray3653 Chewie is married(to a female wookie he'd been pining for 60 years) and has a son. No way would he do that.
"Everyone jokes about how the Stormtroopers were defeated by Ewoks and I think that's" Ewoks were literally armed with spears and rocks, the spears didn't even have steel spearheads. A medieval army or even a bandit force should have no issue defeating them, let alone a huge ass Sci-fi Army with laser guns and artillery.
I say stormtroopers prove to be the worse soldiers in Sci-fi if they can't even beat stone age teddy bears.
The Stormtroopers were ambushed, possibly outnumbered, out of their element, unsupported and they are the villains.
The intro with the dog is so cute classic
Therussianbadger had the best explanation of Endor
"Space Vietnam with homicidal teddy bears"
* invades the home of a species yet again *
* Species fights back viciously to defend their home from an autocratic, generally evil empire *
"ShOuLd'Nt ThAt Be CoNsIdErEd An AtRoCiTy?!"
No!! You're INVADING their home!! They have every right to defend themselves using whatever methods work the best for them!
If you don't like it, perhaps you should let them be, and find some place else to invade.
I cannot believe he actually said that đđ
@Daniel Rios Ya know, you make a valid point. While I do stand by what I say, I do feel bad for all those Storm Troopers stuck fighting in such brutal conditions. Most of them are just fighting for a pay check and/or for their home and just happened to be sent to Endor. That comparison with the men sent to Vietnam to fight simply because they were told to by their leaders was pretty powerful.
#HumanityFirst
Oh yeah. Ewoks can run at 30 mph and have super strength. Plus they flank imperials. Have arrows with poison in them and Endor was full of dangerous traps.
Plus there were rebel commandos that helped them. Imperials were outnumbered by 5 to 1.
The most implausible canonical battle outcome in modern film history.
Dead fascists: all good
Fascists eaten by inhuman monsters: good but improper treatment of corpses
*High five!*
Weâre they Fascists tho?
@@agentc7020 yeah dude they've literally always been a fascist analogy. how did you not get that? dude i can rattle off a few more things that are fascist about the empire if you'd like but idek how you didn't get that its fascist.
Harris Turpin well if you could tell me those things that would be awesome, I always thought the empire was just that, an empire, most empires arenât really known for their fondness of civilians or democracy and they always have huge military forces.
@@agentc7020 sure. theres the genocides and slavery of non humans, humanocentrist extremism, military strongmanship, control of entire sectors of industry such as banking, space travel and arms manufacturing. lucas always intended it to be a fascist analogy. hell, he even styled the officer's uniforms off them. the name stormtrooper is a direct rip off of nazi stormtroopers.

Can't wait for episode 2 of Bucketheads. Poor guys don't stand a chance or at least a few will servive but as you said they don't know they're defeated
Battle of Endor was like for Empire Vietnam war but with Laser Weapons and teddy bears
Definitely an interesting perspective on things...
That would be a twist if the evil genius behind the First Order was Wicket
I always wondered how the Ewoks were strong enough to turn the tide of the land battle on Endor. Conventional wisdom would say that the Ewoks would be "hopelessly, HILARIOUSLY outgunned," in the words of Nick Furry, by the 501st Legion. I also had no idea the Ewoks were using longbows instead of short bows, at least according to your description of Ewok war bows, nor did I know that they were lacing their weapons with lethal toxins like the Navi in Avatar. Combined with the fact that the Ewoks are master hunters, which puts their skill equal to that of 501st troopers, this makes their infantry forces pretty evenly matched. Great video as always. Keep up the good work.
âAn entire legion of my best troops awaits them!â
âYou sent an entire Legion just to stop us?â
âPfft No! The place is swarming with Ewoks!!â
"hey trooper did that tree just screech?"
So very glad to see you covering this Eck, even though I didn't know exactly how brutal things were for the Stormtroopers or to what extent Ewoks appeared in propaganda on both sides, I still wondered even as a child after watching RtoJ why everyone found Ewoks to be so adorable and cuddly. Sure they look like teddy bears and honestly I like them overall but even then I realized they were Killing the Empire's soldiers, granted at that age it was a pure good vs evil arrangement for me so it didn't really bother me too much.
Now about Humanity joining the Covenant. The way I took this question, and have thought about such a possibility before, is that all Forerunner technology would still respond to Humanity's genetics more so than any of the Covenant species given that they programmed all of it a hundred thousand years or more before the present day. Essentially my thinking is that the Prophet Triumvirate would have instead chosen to integrate Humanity into the Covenant in order to use our unique connection to their gods in order to further The Great Journey as a whole, rather than damning us as heretics. With that they would obviously become premier scientists and explorers for the Covenant, unlocking untold troves of new technology and harnessing everything it had to offer. Because of that I think that the Prophets may actually consider blending Human technology into the Covenant's rather than largely restricting it or pushing it aside, like the Elites or Grunts respectively. Our naturally innovative nature would be a massive boon for the Covenant, so long as the Prophets would be willing to accept tweaking things in order to make such gains rather than forbidding them from meddling in aged old technology.
Imagine waking up as a stormtrooper at night on Endor after the battle and your all alone.
LMAO the ending always gets me
