Everyone is always talking about the changes Lucas made to the classic trilogy. Well, what about the changes he made to another group of classics… The Ewok films. On the IMDB I discovered a tragedy. It is true, Lucas actually did make changes to the Ewok films for the DVD release. Acutally he made them for the VHS and Laserdisc release back in the early 90’s also. This list, I hope, helps out anyone who wishes to work on making an original version DVD, just in case anyone’s interested. Lucas couldn’t resist even making the slightest change! To do this, you might want an origina taped broadcast video, the Laserdisc, Vhs, or DVD to do the new version. Just a thought. Well, anyway, here are all the known changes, sad as it is, according to the IMDB:

The Ewok Adventure:
-Title changed to thatrical release title. (obvious change)

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor
-In a home video release, the following two scenes were deleted: when being chased by Terak’s men, Wicket races for Noa’s house but Noa tells him the only chance they’ve got is the star cruiser. Then a scene that happened shortly after where the men went inside and burned down Noa’s house.

-When Cindel has a nightmare about bad guys coming into Noa’s house after her has the following scene cut in a version on television in which Cindel rushes to Noa’s bed to wake him up, but instead finds Terak in the bed then she wakes up, so on TV it just shows her waking up after the men breaking in.

-Cindel’s lines: “Do something, Wicket! Use your sling! You hit the ring!” have been altered to “Do something, Wicket! Do something!” for the DVD release.
