TV Discussion Classics Star Wars: The Vintage Collection on Disney+

Lol they won’t put the whole holiday special on there

 

Part of the Holiday Special? Holy cow.

 

Non-bootleg quality Ewoks? Can it really be true?
Just a little worried by the date being so close to April 1st though...

 

Looking forward to finally watching high quality episodes of Ewoks! Hopefully Droids will be released when A Droid Story comes out.

 

Does anyone know if they will retroactively label all these releases back to canon? I hope they do.

 

Soooo... very cool, but can anyone think of why this drop *doesn't* include Droids? I'm assuming I'm not the only one who'd consider that the top of the, erm, heap amongst the "onscreen Legends" stuff.

Really excited to see it all remastered, though!

 

They don't have the animation cels, so I really wonder how one could do that. Hmmm.

And seriously, why no Droids?

 

Love how weird the droid cartoons are

 

That said, hope the Ewoks are aired with original music.

 

No they won’t

 

Aw thats a shame

 

I am just glad we are getting them

 

A G-rated version would be a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

 

Definitely in for Clone Wars, Ewoks movies and the Boba Fett holiday special cartoon (possibly the only thing to make it out of the Holiday Special with it's dignitiy intact, although I do remember being preturbed by Boba keeps saying "Friend" the whole time). I may watch one or two Ewoks episodes, saw that a few times as a kid but I was way more into Droids, anyone got an essential top 10 Ewoks episodes list?

It'll be interesting if they slap the "Legends" banner on this content, I would be totally down with that.

 

The Morag arc, in correct order:
The Haunted Village
Cries of the Trees
Rampage of the Phlogs
Sunstar vs. Shadowstone

Then give a go to:
Curse of the Jindas
Land of the Gupins
Wicket's Wagon
Asha
Night of the Stranger (2)
Battle for the Sunstar (2)

From the first season, the episode Three Lessons was rushed with production, badly made, there is a lot of rotoscoping and whatnot. Not sure if they can even fix that kind of stuff, really. The second season... well, hard to describe. The characters were de-aged, changed to the point of ridiculous, so many things don't make sense and some stuff is just pure cringe. While the first season does not really contradict anything in canon and there are ways to explain why nobody really had "powers" to speak of by the time of Return to the Jedi, this one features an enormous number of things that would.

Pretty annoyed by whatever is the issue with Droids, because the planet Tyne's Horky definitely needs to be heard of and the Roon arc is magnificent. Then again...we have a 30-year-old Mungo Baobab in love with Auren Yomm, somebody half his age and we get the first onscreen kiss in Legends there. Maybe that is what they have a problem with?

 

How does Ewoks season 2 contradict canon?

 

It doesn’t at least as far as I remember but not all of legends contradicts canon. They just aren’t gonna make it canon

 

There was an issue with the Stewart Copeland them song that stopped it from being on the DVD issue, but... it's literally just the theme song. At the same time the DVD was just a sort of sampler of the series, I think, so it's possible that a fair amount of material was never digitized.

What we can say for sure is that we've never seen or even heard about HD versions of *any* of this material. If they've gone that route with Ewoks, I can't imagine it's a problem with Droids...

One possibility? A Droid's Tale is out there on the slate for some unknown future release, so maybe Droids is being held back to coincide with that.
