Meet   the biggest accessory of Ewok ingenuity, the Ewok Village playset!   Relive every exciting Ewok-filled moment from Return of the Jedi! Throw a   net on our Rebel friends! Swing a big rock into an AT-ST! Other things   to do on here include:
- A branch and twig elevator for figures
-  Roast a figure over the firepit on a spit
- Levitate C-3PO on his  “throne”
- Hide a figure in an alcove!
-  Drop a figure into the  hole in one part of a tree and it comes out the  other below! much like  your old Fisher Price Sesame Street set!
- Drum!
While  we  never got to see a tree village playset from the Star Wars  Christmas  Special, we got the Ewok Village. Maybe they’ll finally make a  tree  village set from what little we got to see of Chewbacca’s home  planet in  Revenge of the Sith. This playset was later given some  plastic green  foliage and used as the Sherwood Forest playset in  Kenner’s line of  action figures from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. See  how it was  re-used at the site Recycling  of the Force.
Why should you own this set? Five  reasons:
1. Where else to store your many, many Ewok  figures?
2. Relive the almost fatal BBQing of Han Solo and the  bunch.
3. Well, if you get enough Lukes in Stormtrooper disguise,  you can make the stormtrooper helmet drums on the railing.
4.  Marvel at how the Ewoks can build an elevator! And a drum!
5.  Know in your heart, that this is the closest you’ll come to getting a  Chewbacca-home playset.
Backstory:
Simply   a recreation – on a smaller scale – of the Ewok’s home village. To  make  it more interesting, Kenner has put all the Ewok moments here as  well.  From the Ewoks cartoon we learn that this particular village is  called  “Bright Tree Village.”
