Anthony Herrera Catches Beasts in the Wild With His Ewok Family Photos

— September 24, 2011 — Lifestyle
Anthony Herrera officially wins the Father of the Year award thanks to his ingenious Ewok family photos. Herrera is a designer and a huge Star Wars fan who has successfully passed his fandom down to his children. On a recent trip to California's Sequoia National Park, Herrera told his children that Ewoks lived in the park, the large trees resembling those of the Ewok's home planet of Endor. (Not that I'd know or anything.)

Herrera's kids didn't encounter any Ewoks on their hike, but thanks to some clever photoshopping, the dad was able to prove that they were there all along. The photoshopped photos are heartwarming to say the least, with the designers smiling kids being "watched" by cute and cuddly Ewoks hiding in the bushes and trees.
