My 'Borribles' topic went so well, I thought I'd try another one.

Has anyone, other than Milander, read H.Beam Piper's
Fuzzy books?
If these little dudes ain't where a certain director, who will go nameless, stole the idea for Ewoks...then Luke and Darth are just good friends.

Thanks, Dragon. I've been looking for this book for a long time, but I didn't know the author's name!
Now, you've just made me spend... Damned Amazon!

The EWOKS came from Wookies... the original script had a Wookie planet... they were to rip storm troopers apart.... thn it was thought it would be too violent and that the Rating would be too high for young kids to watch... so they copped out and went for EWOK ....WOKE! if you like.

Soldierblue : There is nothing in any known universe cooler than a dude called Chewbacka.
If John Wayne hadn't been human...he'd have been a Wookie.
BUT...
...be that as it may, anyone who knows what a Fuzzy is, knows where the
concept of Ewoks comes from.
Manon : You've heard of, and obviously liked, 'Little Fuzzy', so I guess you've also heard of 'Fuzzy Sapiens', 'The Adventures of Little Fuzzy', 'Fuzzies and Other People'...and of course, Ardath Mayhar's 'Golden Dream',
The story of their ancient culture and of how they encountered the invaders who called themselves 'human beings'....
...what the hell, it's only money.

Dragon: you're the devil!

Apparently, a few years ago, the Fuzzy stories were regathered into one single book. That's the one I ordered.
And I refuse to be further corrupted by you, nah! *what's that? Oh, Tequila! Sure, why not? Thanks (hick)*

George Lucas says it was going to be a Wookie planet, and the script says that... Chewy is alegend but too many of him... wow could be dangerous.
As for John Wayne... what can one say... he is a legend.
