Nanta


This once-unidentified Ewok was often referred to by fans as "Corpsey" because of his memorable death scene in Return of the Jedi. Author Benjamin Harper attempted to assign the name Lana to this Ewok he also would have identified as female in his 2008 trivia book Obsessed With Star Wars, but he was ultimately not allowed to give the slain Ewok a proper name.

In 2012, a Toys "R" Us exclusive action figure pack, the Ewok Pack from Hasbro's Star Wars: Movie Heroes set, contained a figure for this character and assigned him the name "Nanta" on the packaging, which was based on the words Romba said when attempting to rouse the then-recently deceased Ewok.
