User Reviews

A Magic Series

This series has a depth and innocence so absent in popular media these days.

I loved every episode. Correction!!!! Of the first season ... the second season was created by some evil twin and was unwatchable. Or maybe it is the other way around.

For content and story this is easily on of the best animated series ever made. Far better than anything George Lucas ever put out. The animation itself isn't Pixar quality but for substance and story this series has something unique.

The Star Wars series I have completely forgotten but the Ewoks series I will always remember. Thank you to all the creative minds that went into this series.
