Ewoks are finally making their way into the Black Series line and so far we have two of these major Original trilogy aliens in the line! Teebo is coming out in the next wave of figures, while Paploo is coming out in an exclusive Endor themed set, complete with his own speeder bike! While the Ewoks get a lot of flak from fans for toning down the grittiness of ROTJ, there is no doubt that they are still well received as a part of the original trilogy and instantly recognizable to many fans. I hope that this species is just seeing its introduction into the line, and these are the top 5 Ewoks I hope to see made next into Hasbro's 6 inch Black Series line.

5. Romba and Nanta
This duo was a pair that particularly stuck out to me when I watched the movies growing up, and I found their ending scene really sad as Nanta dies during the battle of Endor. Romba looking for his friend to wake up still gets me, and while these two aren't as famous as some of the other Ewok characters I will be talking about I still hope they one day get representation in the line; perhaps as a two pack!

4. Chief Chirpa
The leader of the Ewoks during ROTJ, as our tribe of Ewok figures grow there is no doubt that we will have to get their leader to go along with them. Like all the Ewoks, I do like his design a lot and his combo of hood and poncho type clothing material is something that could potentially be reused from Paploo to make this figure an easier one to put out.

3. Logray
This guy is the one I'm pretty sure responsible for the tribe seeing C3PO as a god and subsequently ordering for Luke and the others to be cooked and eaten! That alone makes him one of the most notable Ewoks, and I like the color scheme of his fur that he has going on with the lighter shades of brown and white. With Teebo already out, being Logray's apprentice, this character would fit right into the existing Ewok line up.

2. Kneesaa
This character primarily hails from the Ewoks cartoon that I'm not sure many casual fans remember, but I watched a lot of it growing up as a kid. She was a lot of fun to have on the show as a foil for Wicket, and her inclusion in the line would be also be a lot of fun as she's an expanded universe character and we don't regularly get a lot of those in figure form these days. Her white fur and pink poncho would help her stand out from all the others, and as the daughter of Chirpa she would demand his figure to be made as well.

1. Wicket and Pommet
There is literally no other Ewok that could take this top spot aside from Wicket. Though I am doubling up for this slot because I only just now found out that the Ewok with Wicket in the Rise of the Skywalker film was his son, Pommet! Wicket is a father now and I think that is really awesome. While I do want Pommet to be made in the line, I have to stress that Wicket is the most popular Ewok in the franchise, the most recognizable with his standard brown poncho and stand out scenes with Leia. With each new Ewok reveal, it becomes more and more surprising that we don't yet have Wicket in the line, and I hope the most famous Ewok of all gets his due soon (maybe in a "deluxe" set with Leia similar to the recent Luke and Yoda).
