Artist Daniel Danger says of the print:

I grew up on Ewoks, not Star Wars. That’s a very odd statement to say, but until I was maybe eleven, I had no idea Ewoks were even related to Star Wars; the connection was just never made. Chalk that up to the fact that the majority of my TV entertainment consisted of things taped off television on VHS.

So I didn’t have Empire, I had Battle For Endor because NBC aired it, Mcdonalds commercials and all (”the hot stays hot and the cool stays cool”). My brother was the true enthusiast, his stock primary stuffed animals as a kid was Wicket and Paploo (he still has them at age 30), and they were worn into oblivion.

For the sake of trivia, I named my primary stuffed bear a descriptive phrase: “brown softy,” but it was not space related. But needless to say, there were a lot of cardboard spaceships and tree forts at our house. Little did seven year old me know there were a lot of other plots we could have pretended our way through. No regrets. Either way, when asked to do this print for Mondo, my decision was already made.
