Haters of Ewoks have a problem with Ewok movies ever existing. I found both films to be two of the better fantasies of the 80's. They're both very under-rated. The boy is just annoying in this one and can't act. My grandma made me some Ewok stuffed animals in the 80's. So yeah I was never a hater.

Welp time to go back to playing the original Battlefront games to go play my favourite sport: Ewok Hunting!

I actually did it. I watched the Ewoks again. Let's look at this practical. - It is NOT a Star Wars movie. It's a fairy tale using the background of Star Wars. There's a difference. - They had the abysmal budget of 2 mil $. By comparison RotJ, released a year earlier, had 32.5 mio $. That's why it looks 15 years older. They had to use age old movie tricks to get what they wanted. Take that into consideration before saying it's rubbish. The HD version is adding on top of that. It really shows the effects for what they are. - Lucas wanted to make a movie for his daughter who loved Ewoks. - The children were in over their heads. They seem to be casted because of their looks and not because of their talent. Walker especially is a clear Hamill/Skywalker lookalike. Both kids didn't had an acting carreer afterwards. - There is little plot beside finding the parents. It's a string of events happening to get there that are supposed to add suspense. - Yes, it could be considered as an attempt to make more money from the cute Ewoks. But even with the low budget that didn't happen. I guess many people were expecting a full-on Star Wars movie and simply were dissapointed. - The children for whom this movie was supposed to be doesn't care for anything of the above. Don't take it too serious.

A spin-off from the 'Star Wars' franchise: 'The Ewok Adventure'. It's not good, but holds a little bit of charm to it. There isn't really any acting in this to praise, it's all rather lame and forgettable - as you'd possibly expect given two of the leads are child actors, who are likeable if nothing else. The effects are bang average. The most important part, the plot, is something I found very uninteresting; I was never invested or intrigued. I guess it is made for the younger audience, but they still coulda done a better job with this.
