Marauders raid the Ewok village and steal a power supply they believe to be magical. Wicket helps Cindel escape the evil witch Charal, and they befriend a hermit who may help them save the village. Just like with the first film Ewoks: The Battle for Endor is a film that except the fact that is boring and dull the Star Wars name is been butchered to death. There are so many characters like the old man that lives in the woods or the villain that looks like fish. And basically the entire film is uninteresting and i got bored a lot it's made for kids and kids will like it but hardcore fans of Empire Strikes Back and the original Star Wars Trilogy will get some Holiday Special flashbacks plus it feels cheap a lot like the Hercules TV Show with Kevin Sorbo from the acting to the characters themselves. Overall Ewoks: The Battle for Endor is a movie that kids should see but everyone else? No!!
... View MoreSince my first Star Wars experience was Return Of the Jedi I have always had a soft spot for those furry fellas. I know a lot of older fans consider them the weak point of the first trilogy, but I think they're great, especially the song at the end of Jedi!I had seen the first spin off, Caravan of Courage, a long time ago on video. So when I got the Caravan of Courage/Battle for Endor double bill, despite this being the second film, I watched this film first.Was I in for a surprise. Not only does Principle Dick Vernon from Breakfast Club turn up, but a lot of the major characters from the first film die very early in the film. Although Deej and Shoda from the first film appear, the only Ewok to feature prominently in this film is Wicket. He, along with the girl from the first film, an old man plus a speedy little thing called Willy eat up most of the film with their crazy hi-jinx. I have to admit to to having a smile on my face through most of the comedy middle part of the film and even chuckling a few times.Also |all the Ewoks seem to be be able to speak English with no problem at all! The ending of the film has the real shock for me. The Ewoks manage to get their hands on some firearms and seeing them shoot within sharpshooter accuracy is a bit disturbing.Despite all the changes difference from Ewok canonlogy (is that a word?) and the very ropey special effects, I prefer this to the first film. It may not be that great a film, but anyone like me with a soft spot for the Ewoks will probably get something from this.
... View MoreThis movie is so much fun to watch. I have been enjoying this movie since i was 5 and have never lost any interest in it. It is out of print now so it is difficult to come by, but if you can i recommend watching it as many times as you can because it will make your life complete.
... View MoreThis story of an orphaned girl and the lovable teddy bear ewoks is no masterpiece by far, but still is a great family movie. I loved the ewok movies as a child, and I believe that generations of children will love it in the future. 7.4 out of 10.
