A general discussion thread for ‘Star Wars: Ewoks’ - the 1985/86 animated tv series…

a thread nobody wanted, a thread nobody asked for - yet here it is… 😉
 

 

The Premise:-

This series recounts the adventures of Ewoks years before the Battle of Endor. Here Wicket W. Warrick is a young Ewok struggling to achieve maturity in his community. This leads to a series of adventures with his friends, Princess Kneessa heir to the chieftain, Latara the aspiring musician and Teebo the animal empath.

Together, they help the adults protect the village from their enemies like Morag the Tulga Witch and their rival species, the Duloks.

Note: The penultimate episode, “Battle for the Sunstar”, shows the Ewok heroes leaving the forest moon’s surface when they go aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer that has traveled to their system. An Imperial scientist attempts to destroy the Emperor, whose shuttle makes an appearance. The episode was re-aired as the series finale.
