Ewok Celebration

Ewok Celebration

"Ewok Celebration" (also known as Yub Nub from its incipit, which means 'freedom' in Ewokese) is a musical theme recurring in the ending of the Return of the Jedi. It was composed by John Williams.

It is the song sung during the celebration of the Ewoks on Endor with the Rebel Alliance pilots after the destruction of the Death Star II.

The song's lyrics are in the language of the Ewoks.

In the 1997 edition of the movie (see List of changes in Star Wars re-releases), a different song ("Victory Celebration") without lyrics replaces the original version. Like several other changes in the original movies made for the new editions, some fans of the films were somewhat upset with the absence of the song.Fact|date=May 2008 It does not even appear on newer soundtracks, available only in an obscure box set.

The song appears in an episode of the sitcom "Spaced"; the producers could not acquire the rights to use the original recording, so Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg performed and recorded their own version.

The song has been covered by the rock band The Solids.

It was used as the name entry music for the Return of the Jedi arcade game released in 1984.
