How was your research? Damn, something I watched that was star wars but wasn't. Had Ewoks in it, hadn't it? Let's google Ewoks + Movie. Ah there it is. Can't believe it took you any longer.
i grew up watching this movie. tried to watch it on disney plus now that im older.. if it werent for the older brother, the movie would honestly be fine.. but he is SO obnoxious and honestly stupid. The entire time hes whining and fighting with the ewoks that have saved his life countless times thinking hes the smart responsible one, yet hes the one getting them in trouble most of the time.
Still love this movie to this day and have learned the Ewok’s language and use it on my cats. 😂 Yeha means goodbye and possibly good luck on your journey. Lurdo means dumbass or jerk. Tyatee means come on or let’s go. Gunda means good. Chak means medicine. Feech means f$&k. Kush means fur. Beecha is a term of affection or what you say to someone to calm them down and relax them so they are not afraid. Yubnub is a celebratory expression like right on. Asha means don’t worry or it’s okay.
What’s the “medicine woman” Ewok's name, Shodu? Shonu? She might be Wicket’s mother... What does she say when she’s rubbing her belly, trying to get Cindel to take the herbal medicine, to feel better? “Asha, asha…”..?
it makes me wonder.. how much could one improve these movies just through editing, changing phasing of events and scenes, adding different sounds and music, etc. this trailer nearly inspired me to try my hand at "reforging" these movies. but i am too unexperienced with editing, and that sounds like too much dedication just to make a improved version of fringe star wars media that most people haven't even heard about
The dialogue is basic, but remember it was made for tv. In the eighties. Not even a movie theater release. So tv movies have a sort of… Lifetime channel vibe sometimes, with the script… personally I’d love to see the film reimagined with todays technology. Don’t deviate from the storyline, but edit the script and special effects, I think Ewoks could still draw audiences.
It was the very first movie that a saw in Cinema in my life as a kid, I think it was 1985? At the time it was amazing ! A spin off of the Star Wars franchise brought by the same studio who made "Care Bears" a remember teenager's girls going to the cinema with bras with puff shoulders and heavy "new wave" make up, it was so 1980's!
for a long time I thought I dreamed this movie or something cause I didnt know the name and all I could remember is there was ewoks, other ppl I asked were like wtf ?_? ... I loved this movie!! lol
This was really well done, congrats bro, I love this movies, this trailer is simply amazing! You only can do a trailer like this one, when it comes from the heart! Good job man!
I love the movie. As a kid it was my favorite. It’s more epic and interesting than some of todays current SW stuff. With minimal dialogue, and long stares and intense showdowns… sure the effects today are better, but in the 80s, studios had to make do with lower budgets and less special effects. They did a lot and this film was quite popular at the time. It’s the most in-depth look at Endor, and all its creatures and inhabitants, besides Return of the Jedi… and I’m not counting the Ewok animations. Lol. With the crying mountain and flower children and stuff.
Maybe I was, I dunno, A KID when I first got into the original trilogy and then the prequels came out. I unironically LIKE the “kid” stuff. The Ewoks and even the gungans! Jar Jar can be a bit much, but the non human species are some of my favorite parts of Star Wars!
Reminds me of seeing Mike drowning in the Alabama pool off the gulf of Mexico we hide what happened his first words when I got him out please don't tell mom and dad - he deliberately took his belt off and jumped in a white and black belt I think was from the ymca we had swimming lessons at north Lagrange rd
I recall when this was released around Thanksgiving in 1984 on ABC. It was that strange time, a year after Return of The Jedi, when Star Wars fans desperately wanted to see anything SW related. Not really exciting, but welcome nonetheless. It Also seems odd that it isn't canon considering that George Lucas created the story himself. Looking back on it now, 38 years later, is definitely a trip down nostalgia boulevard. It had a certain 80s charm. I also find it curious that the boy in the movie is named Mace, and then years later George uses the name again for Mace Windu.
It seems weird that it isn’t considered canon since it doesn’t necessarily conflict with anything else, it’s just a Little adventure story involving Ewoks.
you haven't heard of it mainly because it wasn't a large "mainstream" theatrical release. it was a made-for-televison only movie that originally debuted on the ABC channel. it didn't even use "star wars" in it's title, something you definently wouldn't see today where every product have a franchise title slapped on to it for recognition. furthermore it was primarily aimed for kids (moreso than any the original movies). still better than the sequels though, as this movie's worst offense is primarily just being bland and boring, but the story is fairly self-contained and small scale, Wicket being the only character that has any connection to the main movies. the events of these movies have no bearing on the larger universe of Star Wars and can be easily ignored, unlike the sequels which terrible writing and plot ends up dragging down the whole frannchise and undermining the original storylines
