About this project

UPDATE: Just announced an Official Patch for the book and my character Mace Towani. This is for all the patch collectors and my friends at the 501st.

Hi, I‘m Eric Walker.  I look forward to sharing what it was like to be a teenager in the role of a life time; from audition to screen test, to being directed by George Lucas, in this personal memoir.

My book will chronicle my adventures in the Star Wars universe playing the leading role of Mace Towani in George Lucas’ “Star Wars” spin off movie "The Ewok Adventure" and "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor".

In “My Book” I will also share what went on behind the scenes, including a tour of the Skywalker Ranch and Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) at the time, and some of my personal conversations with GL himself.  This project is part of Star Wars and our History and deserves to be told.

Help me fund my book and you will get some great free collectible rewards like a behind the scenes DVD from my personal collection and a free CD-Rom of pictures also from my personal collection taken from the set and while we were given a private tour of ILM. These collectibles from the Star Wars universe have never been released so now is your chance to get something unique that no one has!

May The Force Be With Us!

Eric Walker’s career began in the early eighties in acting. He is most well known for the two movies he starred in as Mace Towani for George Lucas in the Star Wars spin off known as The Ewok Adventures.

He attended the Los Angeles High School for the Performing Arts alongside such well-known entertainers as Josh Grobin, Fergie, Corbin Bleu, Anthony Anderson to name a few. He studied acting in Hollywood with veteran actor Virgil Frye with other fellow actors such as Noah Hathaway and Barrett Oliver from The Neverending Story, and Sean Penn as well as Corey Feldman. He has appeared in several TV serials (Webster), movies (Little Spies, She’s out of control, Less than Zero) and numerous commercial spots (like Jack in the Box to name one).

Eric later wrote all the instrumental music for an award winning documentary that he Directed and Edited entitled, “God ‘s Leading Through The Generations”. Now with the inspiration of his wife Nhu Tran, his many trips to Vietnam, and a wealth of meaningful artistic and real world life experiences under his belt, Eric has decided to release his first complete music CD entitled: “Tangier Dream”. On Tangier Dream Eric wrote a tribute song to his Star Wars days entitled "Return to Endor."
