Tumble bunny trainer

"The tumble bunnies are jumping for joy, 'cause you've come to see their show!"

- The tumble bunny trainer

The tumble bunny trainer was an entertainer who was popular with the woklings of Bright Tree Village. During the Imperial era, the tumble bunny trainer hosted a tumble bunny exhibition at the Bright Tree Fête, specifically targeted at the wokling audience. The show was popular with the adults of Bright Tree Village, as it was a good way to occupy the sometimes energetic woklings.

The tumble bunny trainer's show, however, was not without its detractors. The older children of Bright Tree Village, most notably Wicket W. Warrick, the future chief, spoke out against the show, decrying it as "no place for a warrior to be seen". Warrick himself would later host his own version of the show as punishment for neglecting woklings whilst in charge of them. Despite the fact that Warrick's 10 shows closely resembled the tumble bunny trainer's, it is not known whether or not this alternate program put him out of business.

Early life and career
The tumble bunny trainer was of an unknown species, possibly reptillian, although he had a bill, like a duck. At some stage during his life, he learned how to train tumble bunnies, small, three eared creatures that resembled a mix between a Hoojib, a Kushiban, a Lepi, and Max. After they were properly trained, the tumble bunny trainer formed a show, which consituted of the small creatures doing a variety of complex tricks. These tricks were designed to attract and entertain younger audiences, although the tumble bunny trainer was not one to knock back older customers.

Working the wok seam
Sometime during the Imperial era, the tumble bunny trainer came to Bright Tree Village on the Forest Moon of Endor in order to market his show. The Ewoks were planning a large fête, and in turn, the tumble bunny trainer set up a stall with which to properly display his program. When the Fete was launched, the tumble bunny trainer was given sufficient stage space to run his show, with a large area for audience seating. Though he was not pulling in huge crowds, there was a moderately large crowd of woklings who enjoyed his tumble bunny's tricks.

There is only one trick that the tumble bunny trainer was known to do. He would line up a variety of tumble bunnies in single file, and then hold out a small hoop in front of the lead bunny. The bunny would then jump through the hoop and land safely on the other side. Then, in quick succession, the other creatures would follow suit, without crashing into one another. This trick was usually met with favourable cheer from the wokling audience.

The Warrick Incident
"Let's go see the...ugh...tumble bunnies."

- Wicket W. Warrick

The tumble bunny trainer was one of the most vocal advertisers at the fair. He would call out to passers-by in a jovial voice, beckoning them to come and see his show. Shodu Warrick heard of the tumble bunny show, and thought it would be a good idea for her son, Wicket W. Warrick, to guide a cabal of woklings to the show, and supervise them. Warrick had his doubts about the show, not believing it was his type of entertainment. Nevertheless, he gathered the woklings, and took them to see the tumble bunny program.

With a sense of trepidation and dread, Warrick attended the tumble bunny show. As soon as he saw the content of the program, however, he backpeadled out of the area, diverting the wokling's attention from the tumble bunny trainer's antics. Ewoks Latara and Teebo were making similair gestures, all of which detracted from the audience's attention. Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka tried to save the tumble bunny trainer some embarrasment by publicly announcing her critical favour of his program.
