An Ewok Without Fur Is The Creepiest Star Wars Thing You’ll See Today

Ewoks aren’t the only memorable «Star Wars» creatures with a dark behind-the-scenes secret in their appearance. There are a number of other characters that look considerably different without that necessary on-screen magic, including one of the most popular icons of the entire franchise: Chewbacca.

In a post on the r/StarWars subreddit, u/TheDidact118 shared a behind-the-scenes shot of the Chewbacca costume that was used for «Star Wars: Episode III — The Revenge of the Sith.» Like the Ewok costume, Chewie’s behind-the-scenes visage lacks any discernible fur, leaving viewers to gaze in awe and discomfort at his surprisingly muscular-looking physique. One thing is clear: fans are very lucky that Wookies don’t customarily shave their fur in «Star Wars» canon.

Another unfortunate case of «Star Wars» creature details that shouldn’t be seen centers on the Tatooine-based beings known as Jawas. These mysterious little scavengers are always seen wearing hooded cloaks, which hide most of their face and body, with only their glowing eyes peeking out of the front. In a now-deleted tweet preserved by Comic Book Resources, «Star Wars» fan @thomasLharper shared an image of a Hasbro-produced Jawa action figure that could have its cloak removed. Unsurprisingly, seeing the textured dark flesh of a naked Jawa is quite cursed. Perhaps the cloaks should stay on in future «Star Wars» projects.
