On a small moon in the Outer Rim, covered by dense forests, high mountains, and savannas, home to species like the small and furry tribal Ewoks, a Wookiee warrior volunteers for the team tasked with destroying the shield generator of the second Death Star, a moon-sized battle station built by the Galactic Empire as the successor to the first Death Star, and partially completed. On this mission, the charismatic giant furball, with the help of the local natives, manages to take control of a two-legged combat walker, the AT-ST, and use it in his mission against imperial troops guarding the generator. This iconic scene from the movie Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi is meticulously recreated by Iron Studios in the statue “AT-ST and Chewbacca - Star Wars - Demi Art Scale 1/20”, featuring Chewie emerging from the hatch on top of the AT-ST, alongside the Ewoks battling a Stormtrooper and turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Rebel forces. On a forest diorama base of Endor, the statue also offers the option for the top hatch to be closed.

Chewbacca, affectionately known as Chewie by his friends, is a Wookiee warrior from the planet Kashyyyk, who, alongside his friend and partner Han Solo, worked as a smuggler, mechanic, pilot, and fighter with the Rebel forces and the resistance. Known for his immense strength, bravery, and loyalty, Chewbacca often served as Solo’s conscience. The Ewoks are a primitive tribal species of furry bipeds about one 3 ft. tall, native to the forest moon of Endor. They became famous for helping the Rebel Alliance defeat the Empire’s forces in the Battle of Endor, using spears, slings, and knives as weapons, and enabling the destruction of the shield generator, which in turn made the second Death Star battle station vulnerable. With the help of Ewoks named Wunka and Widdle Warrick, Chewbacca manages to seize an All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST), a model of Imperial Galactic walker known as the Tempest Scout 2, used by the elite Tempest Force legion, a highly trained group of soldiers guarding the Death Star’s shield generator. Using the vehicle to destroy several other AT-STs and assist the small Ewok warriors in defending their home, after most of the imperial forces are wiped out, Chewie joins the Endor strike team.

Revealed during the monthly show Inside Iron Studios Day of September on YouTube, this statue adds yet another iconic vehicle from the Star Wars universe to Iron Studios’ line of statues and captures one of the most memorable scenes from one of the most beloved episodes of the original classic trilogy.
