Star Wars was the most anticipated movie in 1977. Who knew that when Kevin Thompson stood in line at the theater with the rest of the world, he would later be taking you on his journey from the secretive audition and getting the part on the most sought-after movie of all time five years later. It was destiny, a trilogy was born. A dream that many people dream about. He is a story teller and this book promises you emotionally and physically that you are with him on his Journey to Endor. He played an Ewok in the Star Wars Saga, Return of the Jedi. He was one of five American Actors who did all the stunts in the forest. Swinging on vines, explosions, and battling the Storm Troopers. The struggles of being only 4 foot 5 inches tall and running in costumes that had 2 inches thick of foam and fur while not being able to see in the Ewok costume heads. He got to play make-believe in a real world of imagination. George Lucas' imagination. Everything he did on Return of the Jedi at 22 years old actually molded his life in a universal way. Kevin Thompson was pushed physically and mentally performing stunts that otherwise he would have never known he was capable. He grew up quick on the set. He proved to himself that his stature was not going to hinder him on Endor and in his life. His protective bubble living with his family and friends on a cul-de-sac popped wide open and he has lived his life with no restrictions and no regrets. Get ready for this hero journey. It is as if you are sitting in the tree tops with him blowing the horn ready for battle with his fellow Ewoks. "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?"- Yoda
Autorenporträt
Tracey is a Native Californian who spent her childhood surfing and running in the sand. She always loved to write to friends and family across the United States. Nothing stood in her way being a stubborn Taurus. She got involved with Little People of America during her teenage years and found the love of her life Kevin. They have been married 35 years and have a son Wyatt. She served on many PTA Boards as well as on the Board for Little People of America. She advocates for Children with Dwarfism and is the Liaison for The Painted Turtle Camp. It is a non-profit camp for children with serious illnesses. Her son Wyatt has the same chutzpah and heart and is a philanthropist as well. She is the only little person in her family ancestry and her son Wyatt stands 6'4" with no dwarfism. During the Covid pandemic and being housebound she was tired of hearing all of her husband's stories about his time filming Return of the Jedi and decided to finally sit down and write this book. Hoping this would quiet him down, but to only reignite his love reminiscing about being an Ewok. Not just an Ewok but a tough stunt Ewok. She is an Actor and has been in the Entertainment Industry for 35 years. She has other book ideas and she hopes to get to write them soon. For now she plans on riding the wave with Kevin touring Comic Conventions and Celebrations. Look for her and Kevin traveling and seeing their fans on book tours throughout the country.
