OK, so my 6 and 11 year olds are playing a Savage Worlds: Star Wars RPG I am taking them through. They are not part of the rebel alliance (yet) and basically the 6yo plays a smuggler and the 11yo plays a minor Jedi.
After playing an adventure where they escape from Tito the Hutt and blast off into hyperspace, my 6yo declared he wanted to go visit the teddy bears and help them. While he may not actually know if the ewoks in game I am letting that slide because - hey, he's 6. My 11yo is convinced the ewoks will try to eat them.
Any suggestions on how they can help the ewoks pre-empire building a space station near it? I looked up the TV specials and was uninspired.

Your main issue seems to be a lack of a problem to solve. Could be some kind of dangerous megafauna. Perhaps that's why the ewok's live up in trees, because there is something deadly on the ground. Extra points if instead of killing it they have to smuggle it ala EP VII.

Maybe the Troopers based on the moon surface hunt Ewoks for sport.

Major ecological collapse is just starting. Maybe it's gotten cold and they don't know what blankets are. Maybe the food source dries up and they need to learn what vegetables are. Maybe there's an intrusive species.
Beyond that, when all else fails blame the empire and fight stormtroopers

There are other ewok tribes to eat and their furry skins can be worn for warmth! Yuh Yub!

The Ewoks are suffering an iron deficiency - rapid administration is urgently required with something like a large metal pike. 😜 Joking aside - prior to storm troopers etc arriving they were a warrior race - which implies they actively defended themselves against something, indigenous to Endor, on a regular basis Aaron

"No, son, the Rebels blew up the second Death Star in the atmosphere of their planet thus raining down flaming death upon their one time allies and forever wrecking the environment of the planet on a global scale."
Pre-Empire, though, the planet is just supposed to be a back water planet akin to Tattoine so it's not necessarily a known planet. Endor might be known, depending on your game, but the forest moon is just this planetoid with a stable atmosphere.

Wasn't there a cartoon about the Ewoks before the arrival of the Empire?

ofthehillpeople - yeah, I could challenge my kid as to how he knows of Endor. Christ, he doesn't even call them ewoks but calls them the Teddy Bear People. However, he's six and I am going to give it to him that somehow his smuggler knows about this place.
sbloyd, I forgot completely about the cartoon. I will mine it for ideas...the live action specials, not so much...

THE DULOKS!!!!!
I knew there was an Ewok villain that looked like if the Grinch spawned a race of beings.
Thank you, sbloyd, I now have an antagonist for my kids.

I mean, they're six. I'd just roll with it and let them go to Endor because that sounds awesome. Maybe some Trandoshan's are hunting in the area. They're always good scapegoats for villains.

Well one is six and the other is 11, though he let's the 6yo call the shots in the game. The 11 yo cracks me up though because his reaction is "THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AND EAT US!!!"
