Trivia:

As with the previous film, The Ewok Adventure (1984) (TV), this movie is a spin-off from the original Star Wars trilogy, but fans remain undecided as to whether these two films should be considered part of the official Star Wars canon.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Aubree Miller (Cindel) looks directly into the camera, then quickly away, when she, Noa and the liberated Ewoks arrive at Noa's star cruiser.

Quotes:

[Deciding how to get across the moat]
Wicket: Wicket swim.
Noa: Oh no you don't swim. Take a look at this.
[Sticks a stick into water and it's instantly eaten]
Noa: See that? That could've been you, ya little beggar.

The Battle For Endor!

This is one of the great movies of the 80s in MY collection that I think about all the time.

Back in the early 80s there were two good movies about the the Ewoks from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Both film have the spirit of the Star Wars film in MY opinion and especialy ROTJ. Both films are sad in a way but they are never boring and both have good special effects and the whole nine. Both film has some great music aswell!

Seeing Wilford Brimley in this film is a treat. The begging is quite sad but this feature is never boring and like the other its action packed. Fans of Brimley and Star Wars should see this!
