Lots of Star Wars fans hate marketing-friendly Ewoks from Return of the Jedi with a passion (related: lots of Star Wars fans apparently hate everything that is good in life) and were likely holding out hope that Warwick Davis’ return in The Force Awakens didn’t necessarily mean that Ewoks would be back. But they’re about to be disappointed: new promotional materials indicate that Davis will reprise his role of Wicket the Ewok.

Oh well a splash of cold water on the JJ Abrams effort. Perhaps he will go for the dark side of fandom and wipe the Ewoks out.

What’s next? Cats sleeping with dogs? Jarjar Binks returning?

If Abrams did that, I would retract some of what I have said about him.

I'm not worried. The ewoks are done for!

Vader’s melted helmet is in the trailer so someone has to dig it up. It would make sense that Wicket has been tasked with guarding the burial site. Maybe the New Order wipes out all the Ewoks to make a statement (wishful thinking).

For the love of all that is good and decent, let's not so much as entertain the thought of Jarjar returning.

Introducing Ewoks caused “Return of the Jedi” to veer dangerously close to derailing. Then with “Episode 1” and Jar Jar, it went over the cliff.

We had a Pekingese named Ewok, because as a puppy, that’s what he looked like.

Here is hoping it is a cameo and not a central character.

A local realtor here played an Ewok in the film. He’s really short, as in little person. Super nice guy.

Was hoping this would be the first first non god awful star wars movie in 40 years, now my hopes begin to be dashed

AN Ewok isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It was a bunch of Ewoks doing a better job fighting the Empire than the Rebels ever pulled off that was the problem.

The Force Unleashed gave us what we wated: Jar Jar in Carbonite. And The Force Unleashed II's DLC gave us ewok killing. But have you seen DAVE school's The Solo Adventures?

Oh, please. I can think of a heck of a lot of good ways to bring Jar Jar back.
Just imagine how audiences would cheer for a scene with his head mounted above the fireplace in the Sith Inquisitors’ HQ. For instance.
