Explore Endor in this epic Ewok Village
Back in the 80s, I remember the older kids always showed a certain disdain for Ewoks. But I was just young enough when The Return of the Jedi came out that a giant alien treehouse manned by warrior teddy bears seemed like the coolest thing ever. And Simulterious has made my inner child beam with delight at the sight of this amazing Ewok village build.
Star Wars has been serving as inspiration for LEGO models for decades now, even long before LEGO officially obtained the license in the late 90s. And I always love checking out the countless spaceships and droids that fans and LEGO designers alike have crafted. But I’m always more excited to see the less common builds that focus less on the tech and more on the environments in the Star Wars Universe. The trunks of those red wood trees are perfectly shaped – neither too round nor too squared off. And the branching nubs angle out just right. And there’s just enough leaf detail and vegetation at the base to suggest an entire forest moon extending beyond the edges of the build. Beyond the native Endor plant life, the build shines with its effortlessly spiraling staircase and rounded elevated platforms.
Of course, Simulterious has had lots of time to perfect their Ewok Village technique, as this is at least their third attempt. We covered a previous village build a few years ago. And be sure to check out our archives for even more of Simulterious’ incredible work.
