Meet the Ewoks

Date

April 10th, 2015

As they regain their senses and sit up, they realize they are surrounded by dozens of Ewoks, each brandishing a long spear.

Begins with the emergence of Paploo from the crowd of Ewoks, and ends with C-3PO being rightfully worshipped.

Where did all the Ewoks come from? Were they all around waiting, or were they alerted somehow?
Ewok hunting methods.
Kenny Baker isn't in there (he's in the Paploo suit).'
Mentioned: the Ewoks cartoons and comics.
Ewok factoid.
- Ewokese is based on the Kalmyk language.
- Shoutout: Ben Burtt.

32:00 podcast episode length.
Alex had it right the first time: the Republic|of Kalmykia (where nearly all Kalmyk speakers live) is located in the far west of Russia, near the Caspian sea, and is not near Mongolia, although Kalmyk and the Kalmyk people descend from the Oirats, the westernmost group of Mongolians in Eurasia.

Pete: ...analyze, scrutinize, and "[...] lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes."
Asterios: The social contract is strong with the Ewoks.
