Logray (pronounced /loʊgreɪ/)^[6], was the chiefshaman for the Ewok tribe who lived in Bright Tree Village. He was tall for an Ewok, with tan-striped skin. Logray wore a headdress made of a large churi bird skull. He carried a staff decorated with the bones of the spine of a defeated enemy.

Biography[]

In his youth, Logray was a great warrior. He was enslaved byMorag theTulgah witch but learned herForce "magic" secrets and escaped.Strong in the Force, he became ashaman. Later, as a wise elder, he helped ChiefChirpa administer the village. His "magic" and his advice were invaluable to thetribe on many occasions, especially when theDuloks or Morag the Tulgah witch threatened the village.

Indeed, Logray in Wicket W. Warwick's youth was kindly and good humored. For instance, when an exhibition was organized to renew the Tree of Light, Logray sympathized with ChiefChirpa's daughter,Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka's protests against the rigid tradition that only young men of sufficient age could participate.

When was kidnapped by theFleebogs, Logray shrunkWicket W. Warrick andTeebo so that they might rescue Kneesaa, and provided them with his "magical"growing powder to return them all to normal size. In addition to invoking various Ewok deities, Logray wielded the "magic" of theSunstar.

In1 ABY during theFestival of Love, he traveled toTheed onNaboo withChief Chirpa, on the invitation ofQueen Kylantha. As he had no knowledge of theGalactic Civil War, he was welcoming to bothRebels andImperials alike.

Logray's first apprentice wasZarrak, but he was banished from the village because he started practicingdark "magic" and tried to steal the Sunstar. Wicket W. Warrick later tried to become Logray's apprentice, but his "magical" talents were limited. His friendTeebo eventually became Logray's star apprentice.

Later, whenCindel andMace Towani needed the help of the Ewoks when aGorax kidnapped their parents, Logray helped organize and equip a rescue expedition. Though he did not go himself, he provided Mace with a "magical" stone which acted as a key to the Gorax's cave. Logray also provided several other items critical to the success of their quest, including a candle capable of housingWisties, given to Cindel, and an enchanted walking stick, given to Wicket.

Logray took a turn towards darkness as he aged. The youth of the tribe began to see the live sacrifices practiced by the elders of the tribe as backwards and barbaric. When Wicket spoke out against Logray's increased use of the "Dark Rituals," Logray banished Wicket from participation in all of the rituals. It was Logray who ordered the sacrifice ofHan Solo,Luke Skywalker,Chewbacca, andR2-D2 to honor "theGolden One" (C-3PO). However, it was Logray who, after learning of their cause, anointed the group as members of the tribe.

After the Battle of Endor, Logray was exposed as a coward and a bully. Chirpa ousted Logray, appointingPaploo in his place. Furious, Logray retaliated by placing a curse on the village, Paploo enlisted the aid of "the Golden One" in a ritual to remove the curse. Logray went into exile, and the Ewoks refused to speak his name ever again. He was even stricken from the village "songs of remembrance" as though he never existed.^[7]

Behind the scenes[]

Logray was portrayedMike Edmonds inReturn of the Jedi^[8] and byBobby Bell inCaravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure. InEwoks, Logray was voiced byDoug Chamberlain during itsfirst season and byRick Cimino during thesecond.^[9]

Logray's appearance changes quite radically betweenReturn of the Jedi,Caravan of Courage, and theEwoks cartoon, with the primary unifying factor between them all being the churi bird skull on his headdress.
