A gang of Duloks under King Vulgarr menaced the Ewok tribe of Bright Tree Village in the years of the Ewok Teebo's youth, and another tribe, led by King Gorneesh, came into frequent conflict with those same Ewoks. Despite acknowledging kinship with the Ewoks, Dulok bands were particularly keen to conquer Ewok villages and thus posed a major threat to some Ewok tribes. They were rapacious hunters, and they made frequent raids on nearby settlements, armed with spears, axes, and other simple implements. Their culture was aggressive and warlike. In contrast to the Ewoks, Duloks had a reputation as greedy, foul-tempered barbarians. The Duloks worshipped a deity known as the Night Spirit. Some Dulok religious leaders had the ability to use the Force via totem magic, and many of these succumbed to the temptations of the dark side. Duloks were religious, so some power fell to shamans and other mystics. Females were generally expected to do little more than bear pups, clean house, and cook food-including a stew called glock and prey such as Wisties and woklings. The strongest Dulok present usually assumed this role and ruled by cowing the others into doing his bidding. The species was divided into clans and tribes headed by a chief or king. Their villages were made up of rotting logs and dark caverns, which they furnished with structures of bone, mud, skin, and wood. The Duloks were capable of communicating with the Ewoks through that species' language, Ewokese.ĭuloks tended to live in swampy regions on the Forest Moon. Members of the species were often unkempt and infested with insects. Duloks typically wore little more than bone and feather decorations, and they burnt, carved, or painted symbols on their fur. Duloks were covered in fur that came in dull shades of brown, gray, and green the coat was of a uniform length except for tufts at the top of the head and the tip of the tail, as well as manes and beards in some individuals. Unlike their distant relatives, the Ewoks, they were tall and lanky with long ears, sharp teeth, and eyes that ranged in color from white to red. The Duloks were a sentient species native to the Forest Moon of Endor. And with horrendous child acting! That’s not even mentioning that it breaks all ties to Star Wars, essentially being set on Earth with horses, dogs, and villains that feel pulled straight from an episode of Saban’s Power Rangers.« Always and always the Duloks smirch our trails, play us their tricks, steal of our harvest. Jump ahead one year and you have an atrocious TV movie that spins off from Return’s most unpopular creation - the Ewoks. It was a hammy embrace of Star Wars’ lighter side. Boba Fett had been digested, Han Solo was back, and the Emperor got to shine before being yeeted into oblivion. The second Death Star had just been blown up by the charismatic Lando while Luke took on his daddy issues with a sprinkle of electric shock therapy thrown in. They represent everything wrong with the series.Ĭaravan of Courage came out one year after Return of the Jedi when Star Wars hype was still sky-high. What’s interesting is that looking back now, in 2022, when Star Wars is oversaturated and unending, the Ewok movies represent a turning point. I hate myself because the image of Wicket wrestling another Ewok is now burned into my brain. I hate myself because I dragged my friend into it. I hate myself because I watched both Ewok movies back-to-back. No, this isn’t a self-deprecating letter about what a terrible person I am, or how annoying I might be, or any other lowball self-esteem digs.
