You know its been quite a while since anyone posted anything on this. Has anyone heard of any future releases of the complete Star Wars: Droids and Ewoks cartoon series? I mean we are getting the new Clone War stuff , but what about these classics? Any news?

Unfortunately, there is no news (that I'm aware of) regarding any future releases of the entire Ewoks/Droids cartoon series. This is unfortunate, since I think these shows were great and deserve a DVD release of both series in their entirety.
Outside of the atrocious Holiday special (which I don't think will ever be released on DVD), these are the only TV-related SW shows that haven't been released on DVD.
I didn't even buy the available DVD releases of the shows since they were edited to a great extent, and were far from complete.
It would be fairly simple to release the full series of both shows, since "Droids" ran for only one season, and "Ewoks" only ran for two (and each show was less than half-an-hour when the commercials are edited out).
I especially liked "Droids" - not only was the show very innovative and well-done, but, as a major SW fan, it was cool to see the cameos of characters from the films, including "Boba Fett" and the "Sy Snootles band".
Here's hoping for a full DVD release of both of these series in the near future, with all sorts of extra special features.

I suspect we'll see Droids & Ewoks boxsets announced around the same time Clone Wars 3D hits DVD- like how the prior Droids, Ewoks & Ewok Adventures came out around the Clone Wars GT DVD releases. Something along the lines of "and also joining Clone Wars on DVD that week will be the full series collections of the classic Droids and Ewoks animated series".

I just hope they come out seperately since I'm only interested in the Droids series. I can't believe Lucas hasn't released these yet. I've seen a ton of other 80's cartoon series in boxed dvds and wondered for years why this one hasn't been released. It would be cool if they added as a bonus feature the Boba Fett cartoon from the holiday special since it was produced by the same animation company.

^^^ QFT.
That'd make an excellent extra, and maybe some commantaries from Ben Burrt and Anthony Daniels. And a short piece featuring Steve Sansweet with some of the Droids collectibles. And maybe a featurette pointing out some of the ideas used in the Droids series that carried over into the movies, like the Boonta race and the four-armed diner owner.
Don't want a lot, do I?

Not to mention a Droids boxset would have to include The Great Heep TV special.
It just wouldn't be complete without it.

I'm counting that, too. It's part of the series, and should not be excluded from the box set. I just hope they don't edit them, and just leave them as the original broadcast versions. Lucas has a bad habit of removing and adding to his work, especially when it doesn't call for it.

I'd love to see series sets of both the Droids and Ewoks released. I hope they include that tv special too on a Droids release. I'm surprised Lucas isn't trying to milk some more money out of these shows.

Glad to see there is still some interest in seeing the "Droids" and "Ewoks" released on DVD. I think these shows have been unfairly overshadowed by all of the "Clone Wars" cartoons (i.e. the cartoon from the early 2000's and the forthcoming one).
