Timeframe: Between scenes in Return of the Jedi

Leia and Wicket work together to save a few Ewoks from stormtroopers.


Tropes:

  • Didn't Think This Through: Wicket uses a rope snare trap to grab two stormtroopers, with himself as the counterweight, jumping from the tree. After his momentum from the jump is gone, their combined weight is greater than his, causing him to be pulled back up until the weight is balanced.
  • Fantastic Racism: The stormtroopers pass time by harassing the Ewoks, and casually wonder why the Empire didn't just wipe them all out when they landed.
  • Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: The stormtroopers, as usual, fail to shoot Wicket at close to point-blank range.
  • Lady of War: Leia thanks the Ewoks for the dress, and then asks for the spear to go with it.
  • Tempting Fate: The stormtroopers mock the Ewoks they've captured for their primitive weapons. With an assist from Leia, the Ewoks end up getting their hands on the troopers' blasters.
  • Unlimited Wardrobe: The short explains why Leia had a new dress on at the village. The Ewoks made her one as a thank-you.
