  Ewok - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
Ewoks were curious individuals that stood about one meter tall; they were omnivorous and used spears, slings, and knives as weapons; they also used hang gliders, battle wagons, and bordoks as vehicles.
The Ewoks helped in the ground battle to destroy the Imperial shield generator on the forest floor, and their primitive weapons felled the stormtroopers and the scout walkers of the Empire.
Ewoks were resourceful and tended to make use of everything they could get their hands on, so they used a variety of drums, horns, and other simple instruments in their music.

 Ewok Adventure Prototype Found!
If his recollection was correct, the game featured the Ewoks on their forest moon from "Return of the Jedi." He asked whether the game had ever been commercially released, and whether a prototype copy of it would be considered a "rare" game.
Ewok Adventure has solid graphics which, while not ground-breaking, are well-defined and instantly recognizable as the "Chicken Leg" AT-ST Walker, Ewoks, forest speeder bikes, and forest Storm Troopers.
To the left, you see the number of lives you have remaining; to the right, the number of rock packets you are carrying; in the center, an arrow shows whether the shield generator is to your left or right (if you are directly below it, the arrow disappears).

Star Wars: Ewok Adventure was one of the games everyone was sure existed somewhere, but didn't turn up until 1997 when a collector had a friend whose father worked at Parker Brothers give him one of the most sought after 2600 games in existence.
You control an Ewok glider and must attempt to destroy the shield generator bunker hidden on the forest moon of Endor.
Unlike most other PB games which were based off arcade games, Ewok Adventure didn't have to live up to an already existing game so there is not feeling of being "let down" when the conversion didn't go well.

 Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ewok Adventure (1984) is an American made-for-TV film set in the Star Wars galaxy.
However, the budgets of the Ewok films were such that go-motion was simply too expensive for the projects, so stop-motion was used to realize creatures such as the condor dragon, the blurrgs, and the boar-wolves.
Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985) was the second of the two made-for-TV Ewok films.

The Ewoks are trooping into your living room for two hours of holiday cheer this month, courtesy of George Lucas and ABC television.
The special, entitled The Ewok Adventure, is a multi-million dollar visual-effects extravaganza, featuring the furry race in an all-new adventure that has almost no reference to the characters or events in Return of the Jedi, the movie which introduced them.
Fortunately, they are befriended by Ewoks, who lead the kids on a trek to rescue the adults from the Gorax.

 I Viddied It On the Screen-The Ewok Adventure
The Ewoks are taught English by a cute blonde girl who has found herself stranded on the moon of Endor with her cocky teenage brother after their parents are kidnapped by a giant troll (called a Gorax).
The brother learns to love the Ewoks, when asked by his father at the end of the film, what are those things, he responds, "They're my friends!" The decidedly racist undertones of The Ewok Adventure, embodied in that scene of the little girl teaching them English, threaten to counter this alleged message of brotherhood.
The cel animation in The Ewok Adventure is used to portray a race of fairies that are made up entirely of light, an ends that follows pretty closely to the means.

I was seven when the Ewok Adventure was shown on tv and that must have been the perfect age to absorb this lighthearted tale.
Ewoks, ogres and witches and so forth are a kid's kind of thing and it is meant for you to forget about Star Wars and focus on Endor.
The family of a young girl are killed by(not the Ewoks of course) some evil things and she has to go it alone(her brother is in the first adventure for a while) and of course Battle for Endor hero, Wicket himself, is the one who looks after her after that.

A group of Ewoks is away from the Ewok village; they and Cindel are taken prisoner by the Marauders.
Like The Ewok Adventure, this movie is aimed at children, which means that the opening-scene death of the primary character from the first movie is a pretty startling development.

 Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Ewok Adventure: Caravan of Courage"
Rating a hip factor of just 1, the only thing these waddling teddy bears were good for was a quick laugh or two as Stormtroopers got their comeuppance by sharp sticks and falling rocks.
Ewok Adventure starts off on the assumption that you are deeply in love with these critters, but apart from the disturbing plushie and furry internet subset, this assumption is dead wrong.
Occurring a non-specific time after/before Jedi, Ewok Adventure features a family of four (two clueless parents, one sniffly toddler, and one whiney brat) who have already crash-landed on Endor’s moon — and no, we don’t get to see the crash or outer space at all.

 Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
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.
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.

 Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Ewok Adventure: The Battle For Endor"
Sure, I had bought this two-for-one DVD set, knowing that the combination of horrible TV movies and a vague Star Wars license would be good for reviewin’, but the first Ewoks film tested the sheer limits of how much I could stand petulant grade school children and midget creatures whose fleece outerwear had gone awry.
The long and the short of it turned out to be: Ewok Adventure: The Battle for Endor is much, much better than Caravan of Courage.
Ewok martial arts include the deadly technique of wrapping yourself around a calf and giving it a big ol' hug.

 Ewok adventure : Caravan of Courage - Review by Scott Daniel Crittenden - rating : 6 - Insomniac Mania
The following morning as the ewoks explore the crash site, they recover the lost children and it isn’t long before the village mystic of the ewoks, Logray finds that the children’s parents are being held by the dreaded Gorax.
Despite the life threatening journey that will be faced, a brave Caravan of Ewoks (Including Wicket, his dad, and his brothers among others) volunteer to go with the children to attempt a rescue of the parents and to rid the planet of the menace of Gorax forever.
This film works very well, because to be honest apart from the ewoks and the setting, and a few pieces of the technology used, it doesn’t try to connect itself to Star Wars too much.

Then in early 1997, around the time when the original trilogy was rereleased in the theaters, a prototype copy of Ewok Adventure was discovered.
According to Dan Skelton of the 2600 Connection magazine, the prototype was in the hands of a noncollector who had received it from his father's friend (who was an employee of Parker Brothers).
According to Skelton, the gameplay is similar to Activison's Sky Jinks and involves controlling an ewok as he glides over the forest moon of Endor.

Most annoying to audiences in the double digit age group was the introduction of the squirm-inducingly cute Ewok teddybears.
This was followed by a slightly better tv movie sequel Ewoks and the Marauders of Endor/Ewoks II: The Battle for Endor (1986), which also starred Miller and was given a cinematic release outside the US.
