The Stranger was the name given to the insidious Wizard of the Night Spirit by the Ewok children of Bright Tree Village on the forest moon of Endor. The Stranger had long ago fought alongside his people in a decisive battle with Ewok shamans only to see his entire race banished to the otherworld, a devastated wasteland far from the forest moon. However, the creature plotted to return to the moon and exact his revenge upon the Ewoks. Sometime around 3 ABY, the Stranger succeeded in escaping the otherworld and made his way back to Endor.

After arriving, the Stranger began a campaign against the Ewoks, seeking to capture the Sunstar, a powerful artifact that the Ewoks had used to banish the Stranger and all the Wizards of the Night Spirit to the otherworld. After finally getting a hold of the stone, the Stranger entered the Stone Circle and prepared to use the Sunstar to summon his people back to Endor. With the artifact's incredible abilities, the Stranger opened a rift in space, letting the rest of his species through. However, in another showdown with the Ewoks, the Wizards of the Night Spirit were sorely defeated, and due to the efforts of Wicket W. Warrick and Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, the Stranger was forced back into banishment.
