We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks
We’re the spirits from the forest moon
We’re the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks
We’re the spirits from the forest moon
We are brave, we are bold
Like our storytellers told
That we’re strong and we will fight
And we’ll stand up for our rights
We’re the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks
We’re the spirits from the forest moon
We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks
We’re the spirits from the forest moon
Yes, we’re at home on the ground
And our highways in the trees
When we want to fly high
We just sail upon the breeze
We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks
Yeah, we’re one big happy family
We are the E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks
One big happy, happy family!
Behind the Lyrics: Meaning & Story
The Ewoks theme song provided a vibrant, synth-pop opening to one of the earliest television expansions of the Star Wars saga. Set on the lush Forest Moon of Endor, the series followed the adventures of Wicket and his companions long before the Rebellion arrived. The song’s energetic “E-E-E-E-E-E-Ewoks” chant quickly became a hallmark of mid-80s Saturday morning television.
Reflecting the tribal and adventurous nature of the characters, the lyrics highlight their bravery and their unique lifestyle—living in elaborate tree-top villages and gliding through the forest. While the show was aimed at a younger demographic, the theme helped solidify the Ewoks as symbols of resilience and family within the larger galactic lore.
Produced during a time when Star Wars was moving into new media formats, this theme remains a nostalgic favorite for fans who remember the “Ewok Adventure” era, bridging the gap between the original film trilogy and the animated world of Nelvana and Lucasfilm.
