Viewing Notes
Before the Star Wars day feature tonight, Paul spun this old gem that only Warwick Davis owns and shows at conventions. In fact, I think I watched part of this at the SW Celebration I attended years ago in Indianapolis (Warwick hosted the costume contest and this was part of the pre-show). Anyways, this is an amusing BTS mockumentary with Davis as an Ewok walking around the sets and stages during / before ROTJ was shot asking cast members and characters if they know what an Ewok is.
Given the participation of nearly everyone involved I’m surprised they haven’t officially released this as a bonus feature. Would be nice to view a high quality transfer given that the only way to watch this now is from a fan cam recording from an old convention screening.
