Reply #4 - Nov 25^th, 2011 at 8:22am Definitly a boladera but I think there might be another scene where just rocks are used and some might be slung. Kinda hard to teach an ewok (being relativly small and uncorridinated) how to sling.

Movie rock-throwers tend to be generally impractical. Maybe the worst were the Telmarine repeating "trebuchets" in that Narnia movie.
