I’m sure there’s a pretty thrilling story involving the Utapauns to be told after the formation of the Empire. They used their menagerie of creatures to fight back against the Separatists after their leader begged Obi-Wan Kenobi for help. These intimidating beings were still no match for the Separatist armies, but the Utapauns did not sit idly by. Utapauns look like something out of a Clive Barker novel, with flesh rending fangs and a disturbing bisected appearance. The Battle of Utapau was one of the more epic conflicts in Revenge of the Sith, as Republic forces freed the Utapaun people from Separatist occupation. Ewoks versus the Yuzzum in the battle of rabid stuffed animals.

Now there’s an Expanded Universe tale to be told. But that doesn’t lessen the lore of the Yuzzum, a fascinating species that must have gone to war with the Ewoks at some point. The new sequence added Yuzzum vocalist Joe Yowza to the act, and it really kind of sucked. The fine folks at Lucasfilm wanted to prolong the Sy Snootles and Max Rebo musical number. Examples of Yuzzum can also be seen in a few Making of Return of the Jedi documentaries where the sole example of a Yuzzum can be viewed sporting its improbably large blaster rifle.Ī Yuzzum finally made it to the forefront of the Star Wars saga in the special edition version of Return of the Jedi. If you look really closely, you can sort of spy a Yuzzum holding a huge gun standing against a wall in Jabba’s court. Did you know there was another furry alien species that populated the forest moon of Endor? Yuzzums are less intelligent than Ewoks and often hunt in packs.
