The name of the Ewok who befriends Leia in Star Wars Return of the Jedi is Wicket W. Warrick. Wicket is a diminutive teddy bear-like creature known as an Ewok, living on the forest moon of Endor and eventually participating in the Battle of Endor as an ally of the Rebel Alliance. Wicket was portrayed by Warwick Davis in the movie, and he was the first Ewok to appear on screen, encountering Princess Leia Organa after she survived her speeder bike chase, bringing her to his tree-top Ewok village, and making contact with the Rebel Alliance during the Battle of Endor.
