Official description

Plot summary


Leia rescues Wicket from stormtroopers on Endor.

Leia rescues Wicket from stormtroopers on Endor.

Upon meeting Wicket, Leia wishes to find her friends, from whom she was separated. However, Wicket has other plans and quickly runs off, and Leia follows him. Wicket leads Leia to where two of Wicket's Ewok friends are being held captive by stormtroopers.

The pair watch from behind a tree as the stormtroopers terrorize the little creatures. Leia, seeing the stormtrooper roughly disarm one of the Ewoks, boldly declares that they have to help Wicket's friends. However, Wicket is one step ahead and climbs a nearby tree, narrowly making it to the top. As the stormtroopers continue to terrorize the Ewoks, Wicket springs a trap, dropping a rope ring around the two stormtroopers and jumping back off of the tree, keeping hold of the rope. The force of Wicket's drop ties the rope around the troopers and pulls them up to the treetop.

Once Wicket is back on the ground, though, he cannot counterbalance the weight of the troopers. Leia looks on as the rope pulls Wicket back up the tree and drops the troopers. The rope stops and leaves both Wicket and the troopers hanging midway up the tree. As the troopers fire on Wicket, Leia leaps up and grabs Wicket, using her weight to pull the troopers back up to the top. The troopers hit the top of the tree and fall back to the ground, with one of Wicket's friends catching the trooper's blaster.

The three Ewoks bring Leia to their village, and as repayment for her heroics they give her a dress. Leia dresses herself in the Ewok garb, and the Ewoks admire her new look. Leia jokingly asks if the dress comes with a spear, and to her surprise, the Ewoks hand one over.
