I like to imagine the Ewoks as the formerly technologically advanced rulers of the galaxy, but then came the great uprising. The few Ewok survivors have been marooned on a primitive jungle planet. They've only been putting on a show as a group of savage teddy bears living the luddite existence we saw in Return of the Jedi.
I'm working on a diorama where the top half is the Ewoks in their jungle living, primitive, stormtrooper eating savagery while the lower half is an advanced lab full of new technology, cloning chambers creating an army of Yuuzhan Vong, and advanced space craft. They're biding their time and gathering resources until it's time to start their galactic conquest anew. Anyone read Strategy Strikes Back? Great story/lesson about Advanced countries bringing tech to more primitive ones and the impacts of it. Like US to Afghanistan. In this book Wicket is leading a radical religious sect and Endor looks like Afghanistan! https://smile.amazon.com/Strategy-St...s%2C216&sr=8-1

I mean it's not that far a stretch. When the only other available option is Imperial Stormtroopers--the "sureshots" of the galaxy who I'm convinced Cobra Commander later contracted as infantry...teddy bears kick ass.

Anyone ever buy one of these Storm Trooper lots from over seas? Here is an example of one. At a price point of about $3/figure, I thought they might make good troopers for the background, etc.

Thanks guys.
Also, I ordered a bunch of Paploos today, and a couple Leias. Let's see if they get fulfilled.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/353360072239 I'm using the knockoffs as background filler, sitting/manning turrets, and as casualty customs. At $3-4 each I don't mind punching holes into them to simulate lightsaber and blaster orchids. Posed dynamically and interspersed they are almost indistinguishable from Hasbro troopers. Most of my Hasbro troopers are heavily kitted out. The knockoffs might be more apparent in a rank and file display. I've got a pre-order for 7 more troopers at BBTS, but may buy another 10-pack of knockoffs for a turbotank diorama Quote:

https://www.jeditemplearchives.com/2...xclusive-wave/ I was so busy at work today I had forgotten about it until just now. I was in a SCIF anyway so I would not have been able to order them anyhow. Just got home and came in from playing with the dog in the yard and remembered. To my surprise they are still available. I wonder if Walmart improved things on their end or if these are just not on scalpers want list? Maybe Hasbro increased production? Either way I was pleasantly surprised. Now if they can hold the order and deliver I'll be impressed. Yub Nub!
