Im sorry how does a stone age tribe become hackers and flight crew in just a few short years of the end of the Empire? Wookies clearly had tech and proved to be an inter system species but the Ewoks? C’mon man! Id accept one as part of a bounty hunting crew as an expert hunter/tracker but a slicer???
You know… they use to say the same thing during the American Indian Wars… not so much eating people alive (tho, those rumors and lies did exist), as mich as scalping people dead and alive.
Ewok Jerky was served by the Sullustan Borkus in his diner Power Sliders in the Clone Wars. It still doesn't make it right but it could be considered justified.
Lucas' based the whole conflict in Star Wars on WW2 and Vietnam. The allies turned a blind eye to individuals and companies that did some bad war crime level stuff if they were beneficial to rebuilding post war Germany and Japan. Also Nazi scientists were grabbed up for what they could offer with no threat of prosecution unless you got snatched by the Soviets. Then that was a gulag for you when not developing stuff for them. So we shouldn't be surprised the New Republic would ignore stuff like that to rebuild as well.
But the Ewoks aren't living in the galaxy at large, even with our society's modern standards we don't drive tanks on to Sentinel Island and try to force our ways on the Cannibals there. The Ewoks have agreed to no such bylaws and to force them on them would be a violation of their Rights and Galactic law.
Are we suggesting ALL Ewoks commitTed war crimes? Isn't this speciesism?
Also, the New Republic's values are questionable: they already employ a known war criminal in the person of Chopper, and much of its military were spice runners and/or terrorists – in Cassian's own words 'spies, sabateurs, assassins'.
Feel like it's more that modern Star Wars recognises that the depiction of Ewoks as "uncivilised but cutesy savages" was a bit problematic, and is looking for ways to reframe that lore without losing the alien race.
Last Jedi has Poe commit perfidy, so the Republic has a history of war crimes.
How did an Ewok living in a forest without electricity become good at computers?

that dose not look like a ewok it look like a fish or one of the wierd bt faced guys
I thought it was a small mon cal like quarrie
I mean…. they built a planet killing super weapon TWICE. I can forgive a little… Cannibalism? Poor choice or main dish?
So are you going to doubt Ewok sapience, or insist they abide by rules of war? You can't do both.
I would eat imperials too
What’s the big problem you like Ewoks meat lol jk😂
Can't argue with facts. The New Republic is clearly hiring war criminals.
Eh, whatever pays the credits mate

ewoks are paid in 1 galactic standard pound of meat for each year of service remember ewoks of the new republic "service guaranties dinner!"

From a different point of view, the Ewoks were probably thinking, “Damn uppity shelled meat fighting back. What does it think it is?!”
War criminals
Sounds to me like you're a no-good Imperial sympathizer!
Looks nothing like an ewok
Eating human flesh is okay, as long as you’re not on the side who have red lightsabers.

War Crime crybaby accusations are for cowards. Ewoks are based and metal af.
Also a force sensitive Ewok eventually fell to the dark side. I say we lock them all up.
"New Republic propaganda material." Im dead 😂

They’re stormtroopers they don’t matter. Look at Finn.
Not an Ewok
God, I love sci fi war crimes
You can’t break laws of war if you never signed them. insert modern problems require modern solutions meme
Kinda looked like a frog
Considering that Ewok meat was considered a nice snack on Coruscant I don’t think I can find it in myself to care that Ewoks ate their colonizers

That was a Kalamari
The Ewoks are a primitive species that aren't members of the republic. They aren't bound by it's laws
It isn't a war crime if there's no one left to report it
No the empire knew and didn't care look at the wookies twili and more they gave zero fucks
Rebel scum
