- September 20, 1986
The Totem Master / A Gift for Shodu is an episode from the second season of Star Wars: Ewoks. The episode starts with Wicket, Princess Kneesaa, and Teebo who are out on a mission in the Forest Moon of Endor. They are on a quest to find a totem pole that is believed to have special powers. The totem pole is said to make the bearer of it more powerful.
The trio finds the totem pole in a cave, but they are not alone. They are confronted by a group of Duloks who also want the totem pole. The Duloks are a group of villains that often clash with the Ewoks. The Duloks attempt to take the totem pole, but Wicket and his friends successfully fight them off.
The trio brings the totem pole back to their village, where they seek the advice of Logray, the Ewok shaman. Logray has a vision and tells them that the totem pole has another purpose. The totem pole can be used to protect the village from an evil force that is approaching.
The Ewoks are skeptical of this, but Logray is convinced and decides to keep the totem pole in his possession. He wants to use it for its protective abilities.
Meanwhile, Shodu, a young Ewok girl, is disappointed because she is unable to participate in the Ewok festival. She is too young to join in on the festivities, and she feels left out. Teebo overhears Shodu's concerns and decides to make her a gift.
Teebo works hard to craft a special amulet for Shodu. He hopes that the amulet will make her feel better and give her a sense of belonging. Teebo is proud of his creation and can't wait to present it to Shodu.
When Teebo presents the amulet to Shodu, she is delighted. She feels special and included. However, the happiness is short-lived as the evil force that Logray predicted arrives at the village. The Duloks, who are now under the control of an evil sorcerer, attack the village with an army of creatures.
The Ewoks are caught off guard and quickly find themselves outnumbered. The Duloks are determined to take the totem pole, which they believe will make their sorcerer even more powerful.
Logray uses the totem pole to protect the village, but the sorcerer uses his powers to overcome the totem pole's protective abilities. The Ewoks fight back with their weapons and the help of the amulet Teebo made for Shodu. The Duloks are eventually defeated, and peace is restored to the Ewok village.
After the battle, the Ewoks learn the true power of the totem pole and the importance of protecting their home. Shodu, who helped in the fight and wore the amulet Teebo made, realized that she was a part of the village and could contribute just like everyone else.
The Totem Master / A Gift for Shodu is an episode that teaches important lessons about belonging, teamwork, and the power of working together to fight against evil. It showcases the Ewoks' bravery and determination to protect their home and those they care about. The episode is a great addition to the Star Wars: Ewoks series and is a must-watch for fans of the franchise.
