That’s explains those calls with the heavy, but cute, breathing! I’d call 911, but they almost ate the most badass guy in the galaxy. I need a gilded robot who speaks with an outrageous British accent. But the closest I have is a vacuum.

What do I do?! Need answer fast!

Ewoks never bothered me. But I’ve been playing the Star Wars online RPG lately, and I’ve discovered that [ugnaughts](http://images.wikia.com/starwars/nl/images/2/2f/Leia_Ugnaughts.jpg) still freak me the fuck out.

Couldn’t watch that part of the second(?) movie when I was a kid. I would’ve gladly joined Vader at 7 if it meant helping him wipe those pig bastards out.

It’s those beady, all black eyes, pug noses and fugly, nubby teeth. Had I been Leia, I would’ve shot Wicket with my blaster immediately.

See, now those guys — I just want to put them on a spit. Not unlike Ewoks. But perhaps mor BBQ sauce.

Also from Jedi: The Rancor, Sarlaac (sand vagina with teeth), and Bib Fortuna; all creepy as hell.

Also, Lando’s sidekick from #VI was kinda creepy. Cute too, but in the “aren’t you the cute little guy? But please don’t come closer or try to hug me.”

I think Ewoks are cute! They’re just little bears, that’s all.

They cooked and ate a Stormtrooper, that’s all!

That would be [Nien Nunb](http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nien_Nunb). More than a little creepy, I’ll admit, but not the creepiest of the series.

I always pictured him getting the controls all slimy, kinda like if a Bulldog drove a car and drooled all over the steering wheel.

Oh, god, thanks for reminding me. I had to turn the sound down whenever they wanted to talk to me. Gyeaahhh…

Rancors are scary until you play as one in the new Kinect Star Wars game.

RANCOR SMASH!!!

I felt that way about Alien vs. Predator two. You start out as a human keeping a wall to your back at all times, making nervous glances every way. You end cackling with glee, biting off the heads of various space workers.

I am getting an image of lying on the floor, vision dimming, and being helpless to the advancing spear carrying ewok. The entire time it is chanting “Yub Nub! Yub Nub! Yub Nub!”
