Return of the Ewok is a 1982 American mockumentary short, written, produced and directed by David Tomblin, first assistant director of Return of the Jedi, starring Warwick Davis as himself in a fictionalized account of how he got the role of Wicket W. Warrick. The film, which was shot on Tomblin's own 16 mm camera, was created during production of Return of the Jedi, which he worked on as first assistant director, and was intended to use the movie as a promotional film for Return of the Jedi, but post-production on the film was never completed. The film is set in both the "real world"... and the fictional locations of the Star Wars universe. Real world locations include an airport, Elstree Studios and the actors' dressing rooms, while the fictional locations include Dagobah, the Death Star II, Jabba's Palace, and Endor. Throughout the film, these two realities are intermixed to produce an alternate reality. Return of the Ewok focuses on the fictional account of Davis' decision to become an actor and act as Wicket in Return of the Jedi. It also follows his transformation into Wicket.
