In the mid-80s, 2 made-for-TV movies were put together. I want to say they were made in conjunction with CBS, but don't hold me to that.

The first movie deals with the crash of a ship on Endor, with a family of 4. The father and mother are taken prisoner by a creature known as a Gorax. The Ewoks find the 2 children (brother and sister) and help them find the Gorax's lair and recover the parents.

The second movie takes place shortly after the first. The family is putting the finishing touches on the repairs to their ship when they and the ewoks are attacked by a band of Marauders. The entire family except the girl is killed, and she and many Ewoks are captured, along with the power cell from the families ship, which the leader of the Marauders thinks can make him very powerful. Wicket and the girl escape and run across a human hermit, stranded on the planet for many years. He has a ship, but its power systems were damaged during his crash.
They eventually make a plan to attack the Marauders, get the power cell, and use it to get his ship working again. In the end, he leaves, taking the little girl with him.
