Bring Wicket home without upsetting all the Ewoks on Endor.
Build-A-BearNormal teddy bears are cute, but you'd rather hug a creature that's adorable and helped take down an evil empire.
Starting next week at Build-A-Bear workshops in the US and the UK, and online at Buildabear.com worldwide, Star Wars fans can make their own 16" version of Wicket the Ewok from 1983's "Retu of the Jedi," the company aounced Thursday.
The 16" Ewok retails for $28 (about £20, AU$35). You can add an Ewok sound chip for an addition $7 so your plush Wicket yells "Yub Nub" if you hug him too tightly.
If you're too impatient to make your own, you can buy a 10" ready-made mini Ewok for $12.50 (about £10, AU$15) at Build-A-Bear stores now.
The Ewoks played a key part in Retu of the Jedi, though they remain a divisive issue among some fans. Many accuse franchise creator George Lucas of designing and featuring the Ewoks to simply sell merchandise to younger fans.
And it might be best for the Ewok enthusiasts amongst us to not get too attached to their new plush pal, given the species' penchant for eating people. Remember, they didn't tie Han Solo up over a fire pit just to keep him warm -- he was a human Pop Tart to the Ewoks until C-P30 saved the day.
