Caves of Thunder
- "You can help by telling me exactly where you saw her."
"Well, by glider it's, um, half a day's flight east, turn, um, south at the Caves of Thunder, and then go east again. Then you go… Oh kvark." - ―Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka and Wicket Wystri Warrick
The Caves of Thunder were caves located on the Forest Moon of Endor.[1] In 3 ABY,[2] the Ewok Wicket Wystri Warrick returned to Bright Tree Village from a distant section of the forest, where he encountered a savage, red-furred Ewok. When Warrick told his friend Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka about the encounter, she believed that the wild Ewok was her long-lost sister, Asha, and asked Warrick where she could find her. Warrick stated that by glider, the journey consisted of half a day's flight east, a southern turn at the Caves of Thunder, and then a turn eastward. Failing to give exact directions, Warrick decided to accompany Kintaka.[1]
