Star Wars: Worldbuilding in Endor!

Disney and Lucasfilm released a new video as a part of their series Star Wars: Worldbuilding. We get to watch as Ethan Goodbody models the Ewok’s world of Endor in miniature. “Here’s to protecting all the planets in the galaxy!”

It’s beautiful craftsmanship, and both serene and surreal to watch the miniature world come to life. And it really does come to life, especially with a little stop motion animation peppered in throughout. It’s an absolute delight.

The Endor crafting video is available to watch on YouTube now.
