Excuse me, I believe you mean the Reek?
It's not its fault if it didn't smell that good.

They appear in some shots so one presumes they got captured too but the camera crew were so astonished by the antics of the Ewoks all we got was.

Star Wars Tales ran a total of twenty-four issues. The first twenty were simply meant to showcase fun little stories -- they didn't have to conform with established continuity and often didn't. Starting with issue twenty-one, however, a new editor came on board and the series became a mere extension of the other Star Wars comic series running at the time -- a dumping ground, if you will -- with stories that, by-and-large, were meant to fit into pre-existing canon.
Now, this makes me wonder -- is the cancellation of the series so soon after the regime change a coincidence, or did the powers-that-be's unhealthy preoccupation with "canon" end up alienating the readers who liked the comic for what it was, not what they wanted it to be?

Are you sure about that? Wookieepedia says the comic ended in 2005...
Where were you in '77?

But why did it end, and so soon after exchanging editors? That's what I'm wondering.

Okay, I got you. I thought you were talking about Disney taking over. ;)

You don't have to project our dislike of canon onto the general fandom for this to make sense. Disliking canon and liking a place for non-canon to exist are not the same. Tales provided a place for non-canon stories; that was what was great about it. You lose that, you lose what's great, you lose the audience. Again, just because the audience liked to read non-canon stories doesn't mean that they dislike canon, only that they liked having a place for non-canon.
Also, if the nuTales was a dumping ground, that may have something to do with it.

I thought that was implied by what I said =\

Some hyperbole aside, they did run a few stories that could have been featured in some of the other series they had going at the time.
