Before beginning a specific career in the Bright Tree Village, every young Ewok of the tribe was required to take a Skills Test, the result of which was then evaluated by the Ewok Council of Elders, who would decide which career the young Ewok was best suited for. The Skills Test was a very important coming-of-age event in a young Ewok's life, and passing it was cause for celebration.
During the Rebellion era, several notable Ewoks that passed the Skills Test were Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, who would continue on the path to becoming the future Chief; Latara, who became a hoodmaker apprentice; Teebo, who would train to become a wizard; and the young scout Wicket Wystri Warrick, who became a warrior apprentice.
