On July 2, International UFO Day is celebrated. On this occasion, the editors of the Last Tavern have prepared a list of their favorite aliens!
Ewoki
Probably the first science fiction movie I’ve ever watched in my life was Star Wars – A New Hope.Fascinated by Jedi knights, distant planets and modern technology, I watched with bated breath each subsequent part that was broadcast on TV. I remember that my attention was especially drawn to strange aliens – small and huge, green, blue and brown, hairy, covered with insets, gentle and friendly, or extremely cruel. Looking back, it is hard for me to determine which of the star creatures impressed me first. The famous Chewbacca and its funny noises? Maybe the ruthless, hideous Jabba? Regardless of whom I should give priority to arousing my childhood curiosity, I can only name one specific race as my favorite aliens. Of course, these are the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi to me .
At the moment, I would definitely choose many other aliens, from the world of Star Wars and not only, who are much more interesting characters. However, I cannot deny that I have a special fondness for the hairy, hairy Ewoks because of the way they influenced me. It was they who initiated my long-term fascination with strange creatures and fantasy worlds, for which I will always be forever grateful to them. Even now, I would like to hug a sweet little Ewok 🙂 – Olga Tomczak
