measurements for wicket the ewok?

[razorsharp192]

making a lifesize wicket and need to know how tall he is and his chest/waist measurements, i've research warrick davis and found out he's 4ft 2inches tall, but was he that height when he played wicket? as he was just a child then, does anyone know?

Re: how tall is wicket the ewok?

He's 3' 6", according to his own homepage FAQ...

From his own webpage:

"Warwick began his career purely by chance as a boy in 1981. His grandmother heard a radio announcement calling for people under four feet tall to appear in the new 'Star Wars' film, 'Return of the Jedi'. "

From the following paragraph:
"Two years later, the 3ft 6' talent was called to Elstree Studios in London for a meeting with producer George Lucas and director Ron Howard about a new project called 'Willow', with the title role written specifically with the actor in mind. "

There's also this
And this...

Have you thought to ask him?
He might be able to offer some advice on the construction, too...
He will also be appearing at Collectormania, Glasgow in Braehead, 28th August 2009.


For reasons like this, I LOVE people who maintain their own website!!!

Dammitt.... And here was me thinking I was so smart!!
I've been doing some historic stuff here at work, so muct have forgotten what the date is. Apologies, mate.

Still give him a shout, though. He might take quite an interest in the project.

Um, I read he was cast as an extra, and stepped in to play Wicket last minute, as Kenny Baker was ill with food poisoning...( how gutted (literally) must Kenny have been !)
That would mean he fitted the same size costume as Kenny Baker, so if you compare the two heights.......you probably have a best-of figure to work with.

Jeezy, give him more than a few days, man.......

He could be on holiday, working on a film, spending time with his family, answering loads of fanmail, or any number of things. Probably all of the above.

Give him a few months and then consider sending a polite chaser around February, perhaps...

Re: how tall is wicket the ewok?



i've got the height measurements and leg, i could probably guess his chest and waist, but if someone's already made one that could help it would be appreciated

Ok, does any one have or made the parts to build one like the eyes, nose, hands,feet or the mouth ?
