Ewoks & Droids

[Firefly]

Any fans here of the two live-action Ewoks movies or the Ewoks and Droids cartoon series?

This week marks the 25th Anny of the Ewoks first live action movie.

Although I do not like them as much as the 6 main live action movies or the Clone Wars cartoon, I do enjoy them. I got the live action movies and the cartoon episodes that are spliced into movies DVDs that came out around 2004. I do hope that some day Droids and Ewoks get complete series DVD releases.

Chris here...

The Ewoks and Droids cartoons were my first exposure to the Star Wars universe as a kid (without me even realising it!) and I loved them. I too have those "spliced-into-movies" DVDs and really enjoyed seeing the shows again!

I think the first season of Ewoks was very strong indeed, second season not quite so much - I can't remember enough about Droids to really comment, but I'd love to see both shows get full season releases - and, unlike a lot of 1980s cartoons, I'd have thought that the sales from those shows should be just about high enough to support a full series release?

Take care...

Yeah I loved both cartoons & have both complete series in bootleg form, but will buy them in a heartbeat when Lucas puts them out. Wow I hadn't realized it was 25 years since Ewoks 1. I loved the second one more than the first one as I hated the family esp. cindle. But I've seen posts on some fan sites that claim lucas is working on a super set with all 6 movies, 2 ewok movies, & both Droids & Ewoks similar to the Planet of the Apes set in the monkey head.

I love the Ewoks and do not understand the hate. The toon and movies are way better than Episodes 1 & 2. (The beginning of the 2nd where the family gets killed is stupid though.)

I dare Lucas to put out a Jar Jar Binks movie and see how well THAT does.

[wolfsfang]

funny despite really not liking Star Wars I used to love the Ewoks and Droids toons

"We are the E...E...E...E...Ewoks" (gotta love that theme lol )

[banthafett]

I love the toons.

But I really REALLY love the live movies.

I thought the first Ewok movie was okay at best, but i think the second one was a very descent fantasy, certainly a lot better then a good deal of more recent stuff with higher production values (Dungeons and Dragons, Eragon)

[markatisu]

Did not get to watch much of Ewoks and have always wanted to see it, I do have all the Droids episodes from PAL retail tapes and the entire run on VHS (now transferred to DVD) from Sci Fi channel.

I love Droids, I was so angry when it came out the way it did all spliced together

The live action Ewoks movies were alright, I remember them on TV but never thought they were very good.

[vadersfist]

Yep I am. I have watched them on Youtube a few times and really like the movie and cartoons but then again I am a SW nut anyway.

Love these shows, they've got loads of good memory's for me, I hope the full series gets released on DVD.

Two Ewoks intros:





Droids opening:

Since I was the right age for them when Return Of The Jedi came out, I loved the Ewoks as a kid(and still do as an adult). I liked the cartoon as a kid(although I hate that second theme song posted above) but I really loved the first live action movie. I didn't like the second one as much since I thought it was depressing that the little girl's family gets slaughtered.

As much as I love R2D2 & C3PO, I didn't really watch Droids. IMO, it didn't count since it happened before Episode 4 and no other characters from the film franchise were used. At least that's how I saw it as a kid.

[Grimbot]

2nd season of Ewoks is utterly horrid... what were they thinking?!

And Droid TV special The Great Heep.... ugh.

At least Imperial Stormtroopers appeared.


And Boba Fett:

And Boba Fett:

I never got the appeal of Boba Fett(I'm kinda happy that the Prequels have killed a lot of his cult following). I thought the other bounty hunters were so much cooler looking(except for maybe Dengar).

I don't think we ever had the second ewok intro from the above clips here in the UK, can't say I mind I really don't like it. I love the first one though, I was disappointed when the intro wasn't on the dvd cos it really has great memory's for me.

[markatisu]

And Droid TV special The Great Heep.... ugh.

The Great Heep was not too bad, I like watching it even today thinking of it in the context of 80's cartoons.

[The Trollan Stud]

I used to love the Ewoks toon as a kid. I never got into Droids, which is really strange.

For a while last summer, the entire run of Droids was on YouTube, with the intros and credits intact. I watched a bunch of them, but never did get a feel for it.

I'd buy these both on DVD, no question. I have everything else from SW on DVD, why not these?

[Firefly]

It looks like figures for Teek and Kaink from the Ewok live action movies will be coming out in the future.

Kaink:

Hopefully, the Toy Fair this weekend can shed some light on these figures. I hope they aren't Star Tours exclusives, because they will be harder to track down.

[banthafett]

They are for Star Tours.

I have both the Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor on dvd, and the Battle for Endor on the retail vhs.
I've also got a bunch of the droids VHSs and all of Ewoks on VHS....so...yea...THEY NEED TO HURRY THE HELL UP AND RELEASE THESE SHOWS ON DVD GNAWGNAWGARCHEWSPIT.

[blackiecats]

Ugh! that second opening to Ewoks is horrible! Thank god we were spared seeing it as kids over here!

I have a UK VHS of Ewoks still! It's volume 4 of the releases (I think they released the whole of season 1 on VHS over here?)

[deltadod]

I actually enjoyed the ewoks show too but I hated the driods I'm not sure why as a robot fan certainly it's a good concept but I guess the excution was somewhat lacking.

I felt the same way as a kid. I loved robots, C3PO, and R2D2, but I only watched Ewoks. For some reason, Droids never appealed to me.

[Orakk]

I watched the Ewoks a little. I didn't care for the droids.

[leo_skeletor]

I have in my collection the entire complete series from Ewoks and Droids recorded from the vhs tapes! My favorite... Droids of course. Vlix, Tigg Fromm, Jann Tosh... GREAT CHARACTERS!!!
