Ewok

Small furry alien

Ewoks are the small, furry bear-like creatures from the forest moon of Endor in the Star Wars universe, first appearing in *Return of the Jedi* (1983).

They became iconic figures in pop culture, sometimes mocked for their cuteness in an action franchise.

The term occasionally describes something unexpectedly adorable or primitive yet resourceful: The scrappy startup had real Ewok energy.
