Graak (lawbreaker)

Graak was an Ewok who was banished from Bright Tree Village for disobeying its law too many times. During his exile, he met a group of the Lizard Warrior species, and after he taught them fighting skills, they asked him to be their leader. In 3 ABY, the lizards captured two young Ewoks, Wicket Warrick and Teebo, and brought them to a cave where Graak was located.

After trying to escape, the Ewoks were quickly recaptured by Graak. Warrick revealed to Teebo who Graak really was and why he had been banished. He explained to the Ewoks that the only way they would be permitted to go free would be for them to survive being hunted by Graak and the Lizard Warriors. Even though Graak refused to give them weapons of any kind, the Ewoks were able to fend off the warriors. They found the end of the valley that Graak and the Lizard Warriors occupied and prepared to go home to Bright Tree Village.

Graak, however, had been awaiting them, and he began to fight with Warrick. He was able to overpower the young scout, but just before he could defeat Warrick, he was interrupted by the leader of the Lizard Warriors, Joddar, who threatened Graak with a spear; Joddar had turned on the Ewok after Warrick and Teebo had taught him compassion. He then told Graak that he would be allowed to stay in the valley if he wished, but no longer as his leader. Graak declined and went his own way.
