Offically sanctioned Ewok firing a blaster? If so, we’ve come a long way from Lucasfilm forcing Topps to remove a knife from an Ewoks hand back in the 90’s.

What’s this about Topps and Ewok knives? I want to hear that story.

Long story short, a Topps promo trading card back in 1993 showed Ewoks attacking a Biker scout…

Someone at Lucasfilm objected, (presumably George) and the card that made it into regular packs was retouched.

The original unaltered card was valuable for a time before Ebay existed. That the spiked club ball of death was left alone is hilarious. Did Ewoks even have such a thing?

Another card showing a what appears to be members of Yoda’s species worshiping an idol was withdrawn completely. Very few got out, so it’s rare.
