Ewok Battle Wagon
About this creation
"The original KENNER Ewok battle Wagon must be the most versatile of all Star wars vehicles. It encorporates many features like a prison cell and a barrier, but is quite hard to come by these days due to the lack of success of the series in Europe. The original model of this vehicle was even reused in the nineties for the toyline of the popular movie 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" - HJR
Ewok battle wagon
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki.
The Ewok battle wagon or war wagon was a large war vehicle created by the Ewok Erpham Warrick on the Forest Moon of Endor many years before the Battle of Yavin. The wagon was primarily constructed from logs strapped together. It had a rectangular base, four short walls, and a high canopy topped by a bantha skull. The device moved on four stone wheels, and its main weapon was a large battering ram made from a tree trunk. Erpham Warrick used the weapon to defeat a band of Duloks.
Years later, Warrick's great-grandson, Wicket W. Warrick, discovered the remains of the battle wagon and rebuilt it. Murgoob, the oracle of a nearby Dulok tribe, discovered the Ewok's doings and warned King Gorneesh, the tribe leader. Gorneesh stole the weapon to use it against the Ewoks, but Wicket W. Warrick pulled a special lever on the device and caused it to fall apart. The Duloks fled in defeat, and Wicket resigned himself to the battle wagon's destruction. However, only a short time later, Chief Chirpa revealed that the village had rebuilt the device.
Behind the scenes
Kenner released a toy version of the battle wagon in 1984 as part of the Power of the Force
line. The battle wagon in the Star Wars: Ewoks cartoon is clearly based on their design.

I never thought I would see this in Lego form. This looks just like it does in the tv show, which I have wached. Only where is the suport peg that Wicket pulls out? Post Script: Are those laders from a race car set that was released in 2002? |
