    Anybody remember the Ewok Adventure?

    What a great show that was! I've been trying really hard to come up with the name of the creature that Mace (not Windu) and his family had to fight at the end of the film. Does anybody know?

    What parts of this show did you like or hate?
    Let's get this party started!

    The name of that creature was the Giant Gorax:)

    I saw the first Ewok movie a couple of years ago when they showed it on tv here in Sweden, and I got to say that I didn't like it at all:/ All these earthley animals (horses, gotes, rabbits etc.) destroyed the feeling for me! And I hated how Mace called the Ewoks "these little bears"! I still have this one recorded on video, but I don't think I would be able to see sit through it again, wich is kind of sad, since I've always loved the second Ewok movie (wich I bought on vhs [no bottleg] for about 5 bucks several years ago)! Sure there are a few earth creatures in this one too (horses and crows) but not even half as many as in the first one!

    I didn't like how the blaster effect was done in the first one either!
    The stop motion part creatures where cool (gotta love that wolf- kind of thing) and so was the Gorax, but the rest was kind of bad:(

    Well, let's hope they release both Ewok movies on DVD someday in the future;)

    Ah yes, the Gorax...that's the name I was looking for!

    The laser did suck...it kept running out of juice. I have it on tape somewhere. I'll have to watch it again. I did not know they made a second Ewok movie. What was that like?

    The second ewok movie was called Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (maybe that was mentioned earlier) and is about Cindel and Wicket.

    The film starts with Cindel's family getting killed, and Cindel and the Ewok tribe gets captured by some evil looking creatures. Cindel and Wicket manages to escape and meets an old hermit called Noah. SO they team up with him to rescue the Ewoks...

    It's a good film actually! Sure it's a kids-film but it's quite enjoyable for adults as well!

    You should definitley see it if you can find it!

    I wonder why no one mentioned that there's a Dathomir Nightsister in Battle for Endor...

    really great stuff to the this force users in action...

    also liked the condor dragon and blurgs, which are used by the Marauders as beasts of burden and war beasts :)

    well, we didn't know she was a Dathomirian nightsister until the EU invented it! And are there any official confirmations on this or is it just a theory the fan boys (and girls ofcourse) has come up with?

    It was stated in Kevin J. Anderson's Illustrated Star Wars Universe, and backed up by other sources.

    Does anyone know where I can find screen shots or publicity images of the Marauders?

    I'm actually making a movie that takes place on Dathomir, and I thought it would be fun to make one of the clans dress similar to the Marauders.

    I just finished watching the Ewok Adventure again. I'm disappointed at how little they grieved after the one Ewok died. :p

    Yeah, those heartless little beasts! They could have at least mourned for a while before starting their lives again!

    GOBI1 - yeah I alwasy thought of the Ewok films as GLs primer for 'Willow'.

    I watch them w/ my SW-crazed nieces & nephews every once & a while. The first one is very nostalgic for me - i remember watching it when it fist aired - i was in 5th grade and sick with 'flu. I saw the second one the same night I watched an adult-oriented animated sci-fi flic called "Starchaser - The Legend Of Orin 3-D" anyone remember that one??

    I think the Ewok movies are sweet and basically well produced. Phil Tippett did some terrific stop motion (despite thick green matte lines) for them.

    Are the Ewok movies ever going to be released on DVD?

    My VHS tapes are old and are starting to wear out and I'm not sure you can buy them anymore on VHS.

    I heard the same about England. It was actually called Caravan of Courage in theaters in London but in the U.S. they called it The Ewok Adventure and it was only released on TV.
