"Speak up, Ebab, what is it?" - ―Ebab and Chirpa
Ebab sleeps while guarding the crystal.
Ebab was an Ewok member of the Bright Tree Village tribe in Bright Tree Village on the Forest Moon of Endor.[1] In 3 ABY,[2] Ebab was tasked with guarding the bridge crystal, a powerful artifact that could be used to produce the Rainbow Bridge and was stored in the Council Hut. One night, the young Ewok scouts Wicket Warrick and Teebo attempted to steal the crystal in order to use it to find a cure for their ailing friend, Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka.[1]
The pair entered the hut through a trapdoor in the roof by lowering themselves with a rope, where they found Ebab snoring in his sleep, mumbling about how no one was permitted to enter during his guard. Warrick and Teebo successfully retrieved the crystal and left the hut.[1]
The next morning, Ebab rushed to the home of Chief Chirpa to alert him of the theft. He prefaced the warning by asking Chirpa for forgiveness for his blunder, explaining that he had dozed off. Chirpa asked him to speak up, and Ebab stammered that the rainbow crystal had been stolen, which shocked the Ewok chief.[1]
