Well. The fact that it was on Endor and involved Ewoks does sort of place it in the Star Wars universe, doesn't it? Also, it's for kids. Designed for kids. Kids like cute furry creatures more than the politics behind empirical battles. So they take something everyone knows (i.e. Star Wars) and give it a childlike twist.
And it makes money. So there you go.

Hmm... Consider it alternate universe, like a fan film... If you look at it as a fan film, then you should be able to enjoy it.

This is set long after Return of the Jedi. After the Rebels have left, and they managed to clean up all the slain Stormtroopers, trashed AT-STs, debris from the destroyed bunker and the deflector sheild. Vader's funeral pyre, however, is still there.

If it was the US, they would have left a base there and opened a KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and a Burger King.......
shareI always assumed it was set way BEFORE Jedi- thus no nuclear contamination from the exploded death star
shareIt was set after, and there was no contamination from the Death Star. Did you see any the following night at the celebration?
shareAccording to physicist Curtis Saxton, the entire surface of the Endor moon would have been covered with a layer of wreckage a kilometer thick. But the radiation likely would have killed the ewoks first. If only they hadn't destroyed that energy shield...

According to common logic, when you are in space in a spaceship and you turn on your engines, you begin to accelerate and will never (not really never) stop accelerating untill you hit something. In Star Wars, however, this is not the case. Spaceships are always going with the same speed. Also when you stop your engines, you don't stop moving (because nothing is there to stop you, you are in space) but in Star Wars universe you do. In SW, Starfighters move like atmospheric fighters but there isn't air in the space that could allow them to. Sound can't travel in space, in SW it can (explosions, laser fire, ...) and the list goes on and on.
But who cares? It's Star Wars!
"Common logic"? That's why in sci-fi you have either "retro thrusters" or "reverse engines", etc. They have a reverse means of actually stopping the motion COMPLETELY. Duh.
BTW...Star Wars is sci-fi FANTASY, not sci-fi based-in-fact or theory. Star Trek IS. Big difference there.
Good for you and Curtis Saxon.
For my latest movie reviews and news:http://www.hesaidshesaidreviewsite.com/
It's a movie relax and just watch it if you want to go that far anakin and obi-wan never could have done anything like that onMustafar
shareYou are correct. This is not Star Wars. Star Wars was filmed in 1977 and is also called Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. This Movie is Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
I'm glad I could clear this up for you. I can't imagine the frustration you must have felt...
This fine film was drenched in badassness when I was a child, and it still is to this day. I still watch it at least once a year, and it's still great. My copy also contains fine pieces of film history involving things like Teddy Ruxpin and the McDLT. The McDLT keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool, for all those in the dark! Well, it did around 20 years ago anyway.
shareThe McDLT was the best Cheese burger that McDonalds ever made. McDonlads made it from 1983 to 1991. I miss it terribly. However it was discontinued in North America because enviromentalist complained that the double sided sterofoam packaging was bad for the enviroment. So they quit making it, but only in North America.
Thats Right.... They still make it elswhere in the world. In places like Japan, Austrailia,New Zealand and Hong Kong the McDLT is still alive and well and has been McDonalds best selling burger for well over 20+ years now(even more popular than the ever famous Big Mac) I have a cousin in the Air Force who came back from Greece bragging that he had eaten an McDonalds McDLT there.
And it is still sold in that famous double sided sterofoam package that keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool. So it makes you wonder what exactly did the enviromentaist accomplish in 1991 when they protested McDonalds corperation until they gave into media and political pressure and discontinued the McDLT. However, McDonalds just kept on making it everywhere else in the world but the United States, Mexico and Canada. Hmmm? perhaps all they got accomplished was next to nothing except, to get thier local McDonalds to stop selling the best Fast Food burger ever, but only in in North America. Duh?
what is ironic is that every country you named and in addition, France and Germany claim we are damaging the environment...lol.... sounds like the average liberal...Gore: "Fly as I say, not as I do..." Idiots.
shareThere is and has ever been no McDLT in Germany or any european country I visited so far.
shareLOL kmartin-9. What about The Phantom Menace though? Is that Star Wars IV: A New Hope?
"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me."
I think the argument could be made that this is almost as good as Phantom Menace. I'd take "Star Cruiser woosh" from Wicket over "meesa Jar Jar Binks" any day.
Actually, you should be angrier at your English teacher for not making you stay after class until you could communicate reasonably with the rest of us, however, to your (so-called) point...
This is a Star Wars film, in that it contains characters from the Star Wars movioes, and was written by Mr Lucas. The same applies to the earlier film, "The Ewok Adventure"
Clearly, Mr Lucas made these films to keep the fan's interest "between" the releases of the major films.
I found them both somewhat enjoyable, particularly "Endor" and great for my kids, esp. my 12 yr old, who, by the way, expresses herself better than you do.
I got angry when I saw this movie because it dont have anything to do whit star wars. I dont now why this movie was ever made.
i got an idea before you complain about the movie, how about you learn ENGLISH first ok?
what you said:
I got angry when I saw this movie because it dont have anything to do whit star wars. I dont now why this movie was ever made.
how it should be said:
I got angry when I saw this movie because it doesn't have anything to do with star wars. I dont know why this movie was ever made.

thanks
shareWas Vader's funeral pyre still there??
shareI didn't see it. And it's unlikely, since this movie takes place long before ROTJ.
shareHow would Wicket know english before ROTJ and not during it? That doesn't make any sence.
It's set AFTER ROTJ!
The Towani family are not speaking Basic during the films, which is why Wicket in ROTJ doesn't understand it.
shareNo it's just bad writing. It does come before ROTJ, this is a fact, look up the "cannon" online. Its not that hard. They go into details of why or why not Wicket does not know "speak" as they call it.
http://encyclopedia.wizards.pro/index.php/Ewoks:_The_Battle_for_Endor
Both of the Ewok movies take place before ROTJ. That was widely known and so stated somewhere back when these movies originally aired. Even SW fans know that.
sharePssst... When throwing stones, you shouldn't be near any glass houses. The correct revision should actually be: I "became" angry (etc.)
...not to mention, "i got an idea before you complain about the movie, how about you learn ENGLISH first ok?" should be: "I HAVE an idea, ..."
(we won't mention the punctuation errors, but as one person has already posted; don't stand near any glass houses...)
