The galaxy far, far away is full of terrifying, awful creatures, from the Sando Aqua Monster who lurks under the waves of Naboo to the Space Slug that almost ate the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi‘s Sarlacc and Rancor. But they are all downright precious compared to the most vicious, most vile, most dastardly monsters in all of Star Wars, the Ewoks.
