Notable Series Details

• For viewer ease, the dialogue is in English, rather than Ewokese, the native language of the Ewoks. The first season aimed for a sophisticated style, but in the second, the writing style was geared to a much younger audience with less sophisticated characters.

• In the series' final episode, the Imperials had discovered Endor, and several of the Ewoks stowed away on a Star Destroyer, but were returned to Endor safely after an evil Imperial attempted to steal the magical Ewok Sunstar stone and even dared to attack the Emperor with it. This event suggests that this led to The Empire choosing Endor to build the Second Death Star around.

• The series had a comic book adaptation in Marvel Comics' short-lived Star Comics imprint of the same name.

• The character of Wicket was also seen, many times along with other ewoks in: Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the two ewok TV movies which were: Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, and in an as of yet unreleased film of his own, Return of the Ewok.
