This is the first time I've seen some behind the scenes footage of the actors in Star Wars, playing the Ewoks. What makes it even more interesting is the role that Warwick Davis played; admittedly, I had no clue and only knew him from Willow. Good stuff.

I didn't realize that was Warwick's first role either. That's a nice little bit of cinema history for you. I just checked and it turns out that he reprised the role of Wicket in both the Battle for Endor and Caravan of Courage. That means he's been playing Wicket for 42 years now.
