Plot summary

After the events of the Battle of Endor, Princess Leia Organa informs her brother, Luke Skywalker, that the ground battle's success was heavily reliant on the assistance provided by the Ewoks. Subsequently, they are approached by a worried Wicket W. Warrick and Kneesaa, who express their need for assistance in resetting their traps. Leia and Luke accompany the Ewoks, leading them to an encounter with a massive Gorax.

The Ewoks and rebels retreat from the scene. The Gorax manages to corner Luke and Leia at the forest's edge, overlooking a swampy area. Wicket and Kneesaa find refuge within the trunk trap, which is revealed to be a makeshift battering ram secured by thick ropes. Leia emphasizes to Luke the urgency of activating the trap. Luke instructs his sister to assist the Ewoks in preparing the trap while he diverts the Gorax's attention.

Following Leia's departure, Luke employs his green lightsaber to bisect a trunk launched at him by the Gorax. Luke also uses his Force abilities to evade the giant's attacks. Leia aids the Ewoks in severing the ropes holding the trunk trap in place. Luke guides the Gorax towards the trunk's location. As Leia and the Ewoks struggle with cutting the ropes, Luke provides Leia with his lightsaber. Once Leia severs the rope, the massive trunk swings into the Gorax, sending it tumbling into the swamp. The Ewoks express their joy as Luke expresses gratitude to Leia and reclaims his lightsaber.
