could be
but maybe he just heard the word somewhere and now says it all the time or "no" means something different in "ewokish"
or it's just a guy in a costume...
j/k

Man, I was so hoping for this to be an Ewoks movie question.
A lot of unrelated languages on Earth use the "no" sound (or something very similar to it) to mean the same thing. Ewokese was based on one or two actual languages. I forget which, but the appendix to the Intergalactic Phrase Book tells how Ben Burrt came up with that (and many other) SW languages.Tommy, close your eyes.

I swear one of the Ewoks in ROTJ turns and says, "that guy's wise."
Wicket can speak English but Teek can't? Puh-lease, Teek is infinitely smarter.

Teek is beyond such mundane forms of communication. Only the truly sublime can understand the wisdom of what seems like senseless jibber-jabber.
Tommy, close your eyes.

According to an article I read in an old issue of Star Wars Insider, the Ewoks are actually speaking Tibetian.
