So - as most of you have heard already, SWTOR is adding in a new companion to the game in the near future, an Ewok.<\/p>\n

Now, while I have nothing either for nor against Ewoks, this suddenly brought an earlier conversation to mind I had with a friend of mine who is a SERIOUS Star Wars head and Ewok lover, Amy Pronovost*. In that talk I had asked if Ewoks were possible and she replied no, it was too early for the Moon of Endor's discovery by the public at large.<\/p>\n

When Bioware announced the new companion my immediate reaction was to poke her via my LiveJournal<\/a> and asked her \"Amy<\/a>, doesn't that break the time line?\"<\/p>\n

Her reply -<\/p>\n

:O It does, majorly.<\/p>\n

BUT BUT BUT. There are Duloks in the galaxy at large in the Prequel era. And the 'Castaways of Endor' article Dan Wallace and I wrote kind of opens the door to Ewoks being found earlier.<\/p>\n

The forest moon was a destination for slave and circus ships. That's how the duloks got out (They negotiated with the slavers), and that's how a smattering of Ewoks would have made it out, too, I suppose.<\/p>\n

So, yeah, while a little jarring in that it pushes back the timeline quite a bit, it is plausible.<\/p>\n

Do I get nerd points?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

*Just for the record - Amy has worked officially on some of the Star Wars world books and even has a semi-cannon race, the Amarans<\/a>. Hence why she's my go-to girl for all things Star Wars. ^.^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
