Been watching Caravan of Hope and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. Yes, more than likely there will be a source book. In the mean time, what are your thoughts for these n'er do wells?

A band of Sanyassan pirates who crash landed on Endor in 100 BBY. They allied with the Nightsister Charal, who was also stranded on the planet.

| I watched both of the Ewoks movies. Enjoyed them. I always believed they took place after ROTJ, considering how Wicket was able to speak and understand Basic in those movies, but not in ROTJ. |

If he's going to be doing that, he might be doing the Droids cartoons as well. And IIRC, in one of the old Gamer magazines, they have stats for some of the characters for the first arc of the Droids cartoons - the one where they dealt with the Fromm gangsters and during the final episode of that arc Boba Fett was involved. |

Yes but because of time difference, and a bunch of other things it will get its own source book and probably not even be considered Legends.

I am currently working on the layout for SWDr and it will be made available for edits. The beta will be released without images.

Oh good, I was proud of the many character statblocks/write-ups I did for that Droids sourcebook project back in the day, and am glad those will eventually see the light of day.

A friend's fun fan theory is that the Ewok films are in-universe folk-stories that are told after the Empire's occupation of Endor and after the Ewok meet the Rebels — hence the presence of overt magic and other high fantasy elements. Wicket takes on a larger role and is made more capable a warrior in these subsequent stories, even if they're set earlier in the timeline, because he's become locally "famous" for his role in making contact w/ the Rebels.

My general suggestion is a formatting one, since I do often see you use unexplained abbreviations. Although in this case, it's easy to see that SQ and F stand for Special Qualities and Film, or that "SWDr" stands for Star Wars Droids from context, other instances are a lot less clear.
In the absence of a Legend/Key that is readily available, especially when using non-RAW terms like "Special Qualities" instead of the standard "Special Abilities" or "Story Factors", unless space is at a premium and you are constrained by a limited character/word count, it's much better for a reader if you use the full word. "N" would be much better stated as just Novel. It will make your statblocks read more clearly overall, by removing unnecessary guesswork that's dependent on context from your readers.
Otherwise, prolific work as always.
