    Well, yeah, ewoks vs. empire mixes radically different tech levels...
    Star Wars is not really a Type III civilization. It's more than a Type II civilization, so it's probably somewhat like Type 2.5.
    And the ewoks are less than type I, so a "story... that covers more than one of these categories," i.e. "radically different tech levels." Apart from the OP statement that Star Wars is type III, no specific levels have entered into it.
