A less random question.

How faithful to the original broadcasts are the four Ewoks and Droids spliced-together "movies"?

The story-line is exactly 100% the same.

What was changed from the original airings to the DVD sets are:

  • Original Cartoon openings with music theme removed, replaced with reused or new footage to make it feel like a movie opening as opposed to a tv opening.
  • Music has been changed almost across the board throughout the episodes.
  • New sound effects.
  • Scenes in front of and after a commercial break and shortened to make it feel as if there was no cliffhanger during the commercial break.
  • No title cards before episodes.
  • Credits have been completely changed as well with different music.

 

Things that remained the same:

  • Voice acting
  • plot
  • pacing/editing of the scenes not described above.

 

All of the changes really gives it the feel of a straight to video movie release, as opposed to TV episodes.
