The Sunstar was an ancient Ewok artifact. Makrit, the shaman of the Bright Tree tribe, once used it to paralyze a Dulok who threatened Ra-Lee. Makrit also used the Sunstar to influence the thoughts and judgment of Chief Buzza, and to keep kidnapped woklings compliant for sacrifice. The eyes of those under the Sunstar's influence had a dull reddish-gold gleam.
