Parade of the Ewoks


"Parade of the Ewoks," alternatively known as the Ewok theme, represents a musical composition crafted by John Williams and brought to life by the London Symphony Orchestra specifically for the motion picture Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. This full musical work initially appeared as the fourth selection on side one of the original album, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (soundtrack), back in 1983. When the double disc CD was released in 1997, it opened the second disc as the first track. Variations of this theme are heard on multiple occasions during scenes set on Endor, and a segment of it is incorporated into the end credits. The duration of the musical piece is approximately three minutes and twenty-eight seconds.

The composition also makes a brief reappearance within the Ewok-centric films: Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, functioning as the theme associated with Wicket's character. Consequently, snippets of it can also be found on the Ewoks soundtrack.

In Star Wars: Battlefront II, this particular piece of music is featured when players are controlling Ewoks.

Music with a similar style is featured in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, which also had its musical score composed by John Williams.
