Paploo and Wicket W. Warrick, both Ewoks, get ready to play drop-the-sack.
Drop-the-sack, a pastime of young Ewoks, involved two opposing groups: the droppers and the targets. The droppers would fill numerous sacks with mud and ascend into the high branches of trees, while the targets would affix bullseyes to their backs. The aim of the droppers was to strike the targets with the mud-filled sacks, thereby covering them in dirt. Conversely, the targets attempted to traverse the field without being struck by the falling sacks.
It was common for older Ewoks to look down on the game, viewing it as a childish and unproductive activity; in fact, it was officially prohibited. Nevertheless, this game gave Wicket Wystri Warrick and his companions the idea to use airdropped sacks of magic foam in order to combat a large forest fire that had been ignited by Morag.
