Are Ewoks pygmy relatives of Wookieees, or are they a completely different species? I've wondered about this for many years, but they never address it in the films. They look just like them, but tiny. They also are ferocious warriors just like wookieees. I didn't see them use the crossbow laser gun, but they definitely used some interesting and distinctive weapons in the battle against the storm troopers and walkers. Anybody know anything about this?
