Looking down on 'made for TV' productions seems a bit snobbish to me, really. It's only in the money department that they come up short...there's often as much effort put into the acting, writing, and effects as their bigger budgeted siblings.
Yeah, there's tonnes of crappy stuff, but there are tonnes of crappy big screen flicks too.
I think that the Ewok films would not be any better or worse had they been made expressly for the big screen.
