Apologies if this has previously been discussed but wondered if there was any truth in the following from Eric Walker and if so is the footage available…

‘There were a few scenes that were cut from The Ewok Adventure. The international version of the film is said to be ten minutes longer than the American version. One scene that was cut out was the Man-eating Flower Scene. Because it was cut out, the biggest mistake in the movie was made. Remember my hand being eaten by the tree monster was my right one and then it was my left hand that was hurt later in the ewok hut. During the Flower scene the flower bites my left hand and begins pulling me underground and we see the core of the moon of Endor. It was decided that the effects would take to long. The scene was then re-written by George to be the tree scene and done during the re-shoot he directed. George also directed the scene where I throw the rock away. His daughter Amanda was on set and every time I threw the rock down and called it a stupid rock, she would ask me why it was stupid while we were filming.
The ending of the movie was completely cut and switched around. The ending scene where we are all eating around the table came first. Then Mace noticed Izrina outside. Mace then went outside and said good-bye to her thanking her for all her help. As she flew away, Mace turns around and it begins to snow. Wicket and Cindel then come outside and we all dance around in the snow.’

Would love to see the diner scene mentioned in the interview, though that sounds quite the rarity!
