| Ewoks | comment |
A Star Wars Legends animated series from Nelvana for ABC featuring the furry teddy-bear-like upright aliens inhabiting the forest moon of Endor, from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Ewoks lasted for two seasons and was more popular in Europe than in North America. The show was centered around Wicket W. Warrick, the Ewok who befriended princess Leia Organa when she fell off the speeder in Return of the Jedi, his family and his closest friends: the future chieftainess Princess Kneesaa, his slightly older best friend and medicine man Logray's apprentice, Teebo and the flute-playing princess' best friend, Latara.The first season of the show featured rich and detailed animation combined with well-crafted storylines, while the second season featured many changes to make the show appealing to younger audiences; some characters were reduced to background cameos, some others exaggerated.The plot would usually involve a scheme to destroy the Ewok village coming from one of the antagonist characters or a trip to another location, involving different species found on the forest moon.The show was paired with another Star Wars-based show, Droids, in its first season, then aired solo as The All-New Ewoks for its second season.The full series premiered on Disney+ on April 2nd, 2021, under the Star Wars Vintage label. | |

Poirot Speak | |
| Ewoks / int_18e2980 | comment |
Poirot Speak: Unlike in their other appearances, the Ewoks speak fluent English ("Galactic Basic" in Star Wars parlance) peppered with occasional Ewokese words like "yub nub" and "lurdo." The obvious explanation is that this is a form of Translation Convention, but when the Imperials show up in "Battle for the Sunstar," they apparently speak the same language as the Ewoks, so... who knows. | |

Humanoid Aliens | |
| Ewoks / int_1e669b8e | comment |
Humanoid Aliens: In classic Star Wars tradition, Endor is populated with many different races of alien beings that all have a fundamentally humanoid appearance. Even the Ewoks themselves, despite looking like humanoid teddy bears with a dash of chipmunk, are actually said to be a kind of alien primate in external sources. | |

Set Bonus: The Sunstar Shadowstone from "Sunstar vs. Shadowstone," referred to as simply 'Sunstar' in later episodes, is more powerful once the evil Shadowstone part from Morag's staff and the good Sunstar part hidden in master Logray's hut are combined. The evil part is significant only one more time, in the season two episode "Night of the Stranger." | |

Unrequited Love Switcheroo | |
| Ewoks / int_310f67d2 | comment |
Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Throughout the first season, Latara seems to be talking only about Teebo when alone with Kneesaa (who teases her for it), calling him "honeydrop" and claiming that she "does not have it that bad". In the second season, when their characters are exaggerated; Teebo is doing everything for Latara's attention, while she's playing hard to get. Finally, she kisses him in "The Tragic Flute" and while the series ends with no further romantic interaction implied, they're indeed together in the Shadows of Endor comic. link | |

Babysitting Episode: Two of them. In the first season's "The Travelling Jindas," Latara joins the nomadic tribe/species giving performances all around Endor because she's frustrated with babysitting her toddler siblings, solely to be kidnapped by Duloks in order to babysit their children. In the second season's "Bringing Up Norky," the gang is taking care of an obnoxiously manipulative young critter while his parents are away. | |

Her friends, rushing to save her are captured and King Elbo sends her to a room full of precious items asking her to bring back what's most valuable. Eventually, she comes across her old flute, realises that this was a test of her morals and her friends are set free. | |

| Ewoks / int_45a387bc | comment |
Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Arguably, Kneesaa and Latara. In the first season, this is visible appearance-wise as well; in the second season, it's more about character. While Kneesaa is shown to barely have an ego, thinking before she does anything and wanting the best for everybody, Latara is selfish, easily distracted by anything that evokes her greed and constantly craving attention. | |

Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films: In "Horville's Hut of Horrors", Wicket and his friends take their younger siblings to the titular Hut of Horrors, instead of to the Wokling-friendly Tumble Bunnies Show as instructed by their respective parents, leaving the Woklings deeply traumatized and the older Ewok children desperate to avoid being found out. That night, Wicket has a nightmare in which his mother tells him that, for scaring his little sister, he will "never set foot out of this hut again". Waking, he confesses and, as punishment, is made to miss the forthcoming warriors' overnight in order to give the Woklings their own private Tumble Bunnies Show, with him as the ringmaster. | |

Who Would Be Stupid Enough? | |
| Ewoks / int_766c1cc6 | comment |
Who Would Be Stupid Enough?: Said at least twice in "The Raich." After Wicket removes a magic cap from a tree, a giant monster called the Raich is set loose. Wicket and his friends rush back to their village to get advice from Master Logray, but the moment Chief Chirpa says "No Ewok would be foolish enough to set him free again" and that the Ewok would branded a disgrace, they decided to keep quiet. After learning a two-headed Gonster created the magic cap that imprisoned the Raich, the young Ewoks head off to ask them to make another. When the Gonster hears that the Raich was released, they asks "Now who would be stupid enough to let him loose?" Teebo, Latara, and Kneesaa all stare at Wicket, who confesses. | |

Comic-Book Adaptation | |
| Ewoks / int_7c4f6612 | comment |
Comic-Book Adaptation: The series was accompanied by a comic book from Star Comics that lasted 14 issues and chronologically took place before the events of the cartoon, a couple of Spanish two-page comics of somewhat dubious origin and one licensed UK annual, as well as some young reader books. All of that was produced between 1985 and 1988 and these comics (as well as books) are considered to be a prequel to the animated series. A graphic novel by Dark Horse Comics titled Shadows of Endor published in 2013 is set in the time after the animated series, but before Star Wars: Ewok Adventures and Return of the Jedi. A scene from the latter, where Wicket is poking Leia with his spear, appears at the very end of the comic. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: Logray, in the written material now relegated to Legends, was a nasty manipulator of his tribe until he was finally expelled by Chief Chirpa and replaced by Paploo. In this series, he is a wise and heroic shaman who even sympathized with Princess Kneessa when she protested exclusion from the Ceremony of Life quest. | |

Interspecies Romance: In "Blue Harvest," Duloks steal Logray's love potion which in turn causes Hoona, a female Phlog, to court Umwak and then Wicket. In "Princess Latara," Latara is assumed to be a real princess, kidnapped and almost forced to marry the sluggish Prince Bork. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Ewoks / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Those who have only seen the show will be left wondering why the Sunstar and Shadowstone don't play any role in the Battle of Endor. Or for that matter, in the Ewok Adventures films.note The Marauders were already dumb for mistaking part of the Towani star cruiser for a supernatural artifact, but it's especially dumb when you consider that the Sunstar, an actual supernatural artifact, was presumably right there. An explanation wouldn't be given until 2013's Shadows of Endor graphic novel, where it was used to destroy a beast called the Griagh, which in turn destroyed the stone itself. | |

Cerebus Retcon | |
| Ewoks / int_8b67aba7 | comment |
Cerebus Retcon: In their debut, "The Traveling Jindas," the titular alien performers are described as happy-go-lucky wandering performers with No Sense of Direction. In their second appearance, "Curse of the Jindas," it's revealed that the Jindas are actually compelled by the curse of an angry Force-user to roam ceaselessly, for fear of mystical punishment if they stay in one place overlong, and the happiness is just them trying to make the best of a life they are forced into. | |

Character Exaggeration | |
| Ewoks / int_9002083e | comment |
Character Exaggeration: For the second season of the show, some notable characters from the first season were reduced to a non-speaking role, almost all the voices were re-cast and the characters' personalities and appearance changed. The only one who remained more or less the same was princess Kneesaa. First season Wicket often had low self-esteem, was sincere and childlike. In the second season, he's overly confident and hot-blooded. First season Latara was a dreamer who preferred art to everyday chores. In the second season she's selfish, materialistic and expects others to serve her. First season Teebo could hypnotize, summon other creatures and was careful and subtle. In the second season, he trips and falls on almost every occasion, is obsessed with Latara and can't do anything right, the latter which is lampshaded A LOT. | |

Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: All of the youngsters and some adults wear only hoods or hats. Some of the species they encounter are fully-clothed. Averted twice - in the first season episode "The Travelling Jindas" where the characters wear shirts and pants and in the second season episode "Party Ewok" when Latara gives Kneesaa a dress and a pair of shoes in order for her to look like a more interesting party host. Also, throughout the second season, the girls wear nightdresses to bed, despite not wearing clothes during the day. | |

Wandering Jew: The Traveling Jindas, who are cursed by the angry Rock Wizard to forever roam Endor; if they linger in one place too long, then boulders propelled by the Rock Wizard's curse will attack the Jindas' campsite, hurling themselves wildly too and fro until the Jindas flee. At the end of "Curse of the Jindas," though, the curse is broken once the Rock Wizard gets his tooth back. | |

Planetary Romance: Much like the live-action Ewok Adventures films that it was spun off from, the Ewoks cartoon is less sci-fi and more just straight fantasy that happens to take place on an alien world. "Battle for the Sunstar" is an exception, but that's only because it was a unique Out-of-Genre Experience. | |

Stupid Evil: In most of the first season episodes and some of the second season ones, the Duloks plot to destroy the Ewok village, inhabit it, steal something from the Ewoks or have a more dangerous species attack them and humiliate them. This often backfires before it even causes danger. | |

Science Fantasy | |
| Ewoks / int_b38b6147 | comment |
Science Fantasy: Just like its progenitor universe, Ewoks blends science fiction and fantasy tropes together. Indeed, because Endor is an isolated world inhabited by Stone Age cultures, it's possible to see the series as a fantasy setting that doesn't feature humans or the iconic fantasy races if you're not familiar with its wider universe. It's not until you see the episode where the Empire first arrives on Endor, exposing the fantastical world to a wider universe of starships and robots. | |

Rock Monster | |
| Ewoks / int_ccf6b1b0 | comment |
Rock Monster: The Rock Wizard, a towering humanoid Force-user made of living stone, and whose Force powers have a particular form of manipulating earth and stone. Unusually, he subverts the typical "earth elemental" attitude; instead of being patient, thoughtful, stoic and slow to action, he's hot-tempered, impulsive, and very emotional. He used to be the friend and patron of the Jindas, but when one of his teeth came out as he was stuffing himself on a Jinda-made desert, he flew into a rage from the pain this caused and accused the Jindas of poisoning him, driving them to wander Endor forever by the power of his curse. When the Ewoks interfer with this, he shows up in person to oppose them — which is when he learns they'd obtained his missing tooth from a band of traders that had visited earlier. Sticking it back in his mouth ends his pain, and he immediately calls off his curse before inviting the Jindas to come back to their old homes around his castle. | |
