Theory Briefing
- Leia's Endor outfit is made of primitive hides and leaves, materials the Ewoks would have sourced from their forest — and their enemies.
- The theory hinges on the Ewoks' established habit of capturing and nearly cooking humans, suggesting trophy-taking wasn't beyond them.
- If the dress is Stormtrooper-derived, it reframes the Ewoks' celebratory feast at the film's end as darker than the cheerful victory party it appears.
- The 1983 film already divided audiences over the Ewoks, and this reading adds a cannibalistic undertone to what was marketed as family-friendly fun.
