Jub Jub
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Jub Jub (Pronounced Yub Yub) was the main sound used by Ewoks and Jawas. This "word" was one of the most commonly used words in Ewokese. When R2-D2 was captured by Jawas on Tatooine, they said this often. The Ewoks of Endor also created the sound in the presence of Leia Organa just before the Battle of Endor.
The creature immediately said this to make it sound as if he were talking, either to himself or her.
It is not known exactly what the word might mean; it is a word used to fill the gap between nothing being said and what they always say.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Jub Jub is a game cheat on Battlefront, that makes the player look shrunk horizontally (like an Ewok) on the screen.
"Jub-Jub" is the name of Selma's pet iguana on The Simpsons. The name also appears in Lewis Carroll's poem Jabberwocky: "Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun / The frumious Bandersnatch!"
Jub Jub is also the name of a Neopet off of the Neopets website.
