@@shawngarrett6638 I don't get what you mean here haha I wasn't saying anything about their demographic, just that the memory of this movie was buried deep in my brain so I thought I'd imagined it as a child! I agree though, they are definitely aimed more at children. I like the more mature feel of the Mandalorian though!!
It goes both ways. Apparently Ewoks are juicy and delicious when slow cooked in a casserole with a side of mash and a nice glass of red wine. Mmm mm, delightful.
I remember when I saw this as kid I was extremely baffled that they killed off the girl's entire family. I recall thinking to myself, "Really? Wasn't the whole purpose of the last film to save the family? You're just going to kill them? This is weird."
I know, right? I saw Battle For Endor First before I saw The Ewok Adventure so I didn't know what happened previously. When I saw them back to back it didn't make any sense.
It was George Lucas's idea as he'd just watched Heidi, and so wanted the girl to be an orphan. So......kill the family set up in the last film. You know? For kids!
did not like, had to struggle getting through the first episode, haven't bothered watching the rest. It has a forced sexlationship just so we can see boobies, yayyyyyy we are in the 70s and we are all 13 and we can be think we are watching something if it has that! Everything is forced and SCRIPT SAID SO. It's as bad as The Punisher series! Do American Vandal instead, that was funny and clever and surprising and fun! Don't bother with MINDHUNTER unless you are in a derpy mood.
Define "good". I guess it was good if you mean Holden, Tench and the interviews and ignore the way they shoehorned in useless side characters that's only function was to try and derail the story and the bad editing. We won't mention the ham-fisted way they did social commentary about white men evil, white women victim narrative. Hopefully next season they'll interview at least ONE of the thousands of female serial killers/murderers. Since the show is mostly about mental illness I'll even settle for one episode of maternal filicide. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
If you can make it past the first episode the characters will start to grow on you later in the show and it's really the interviews with the killers that drives the show. I didn't enjoy it at the start either but the Holden and Tench both grew on me and boy does the show get good towards the last 3 or so eps!!!
The Battle for Endor is way better than any of the sequel trilogy movies...way more true vintage Star Wars and written by Lucas!!! Also I am serious. Excellent 80s cheesy flick with tons of fun effects...
First of all, Somebody needs to buy this man a beer. He suffered to bring us entertainment. He had to sit down and analyze this film and then talk about it. Cheers bro.
It was either the first or second film I saw at the cinemas in NZ. I was blown away as it was so cool and big.... but yeah I can't watch it as an adult because it will just upset me.
Actually I have a weird attachement to this movie. When I was little I used to watch it over and over again when I was on vacation at my grandparents'. I didn't even know Star Wars back then. But today, being a Star Wars fan and having the perspective of an adult on this movie, well, I realize how terrible it is. Yet, it reminds me of my grandparents and for that I cannot shit on it too much.
It's just your adult mind that does that. Personally, I remember every scene of this movie. It was one of my favorites as a kid. We were kinda poor, didn't have cable, only VHS movies. It was a simpler time. Watching these reviews sometimes makes me feel sorry for these people who are too cynical to enjoy something. Feel free to enjoy it too. 😊
We used to rent this movie all the time when I was a kid, from the movie rental place inside the local grocery store. Yeah, that was a thing. I remember watching it and loving it, but fortunately, I only have one memory of it, and that's the way her brother over-acted when he got shot in the back. Like I said, I'm fortunate, nay, blessed, that I don't remember more.
Not gonna lie, the first episodes are slow af (i almost drop it because of that, stupid me.), but the last 5 episodes are the fastest shit i've ever binge watched. It has delayed action, but as soon as it kicks in it becomes BADASS AF.
Teek was my favorite character (and I'm not kidding). I even understand the point George was trying to make with Jar Jar. He was trying to make a statement about the worth of the individual versus the prejudices of society.
The ewok movies are overhated on. Yeah they’re a bit dumb but they’re kid movies, and this was at a time when George Lucas hadn’t figured out what he wanted Star Wars to be. For what they are, the ewok movies are good.
Bruh, you don't even know. When my sister and I were kids, these were some cool movies... but then we grew up and relentlessly laugh at these two insane movies
@@lukematthews6145 ah ok gotcha. I've never seen the holiday special so idk about that comparison but regardless, itll always be one of my favorite Star Wars movies (also because i used to watch it with my grandma when i was young and she loves Ewoks even still lol)
Although they're supposedly set between 5 and 6, because Wicket learns Basic, in my head canon, I put them after 6 and always add them to my marathons. I absolutely adore these movies.
@@lukematthews6145 However we can fit these into the canon works for me. It seems such a waste to not have them canon. George had a hand in making both of these movies. So they're canon to me. I also like the idea that the Tiwanis and Noa are not speaking basic rather than another language. Anyhow, I don't care what anyone says. They're canon to me!
These things were cute, and mostly harmless (at least in the U.S. in the early '80s, where we saw them for free on TV when they first aired!) For the first one, my poor mother watched it with me and my younger brother and sister, and for the second one, I was just old enough to babysit my brother and sister with this movie to keep them out of trouble while my parents went to a rock concert together (The Kinks? The Rolling Stones? Billy Squier?) Mom had fixed up some TV-Dinners for the first one, and I popped up some Jiffy-Pop for the second so many months later, and the movies kept everyone more or less enchanted for a couple hours for those two nights, and the movies worked sort of like bedtime stories to keep us amused after dark until bedtime. The stuff that "didn't make sense" to the reviewer here was kind of standard-issue for '80s fantasy: the likes of The Dark Crystal, Willow, Ladyhawke, the Beastmaster, the Conan and Red Sonja movies, Legend, Labyrinth, The Never-Ending Story, Krull, and so on were loaded with weird, magical non-sequiturs, and nobody in the '80s seemed to think anything of it. The Ewok movies were (at least to me at the time) cut from the same sort of cloth as some of the more kid-friendly examples of '80s fantasy: the stories were a little cheesier and less ambitious than average and the Star Wars theme was obviously shoe-horned into two unrelated stories that were probably not written for the franchise (with Ewoks replacing whatever completely different Hobbit-expies or Gelfling-alikes were originally intended for the scripts), but the special effects, though low-budget compared to the theatrical Star Wars films, were pretty good for fantasy TV-movies, and the results were just well-paced and immersive enough to keep everyone awake and involved (with the help of familiar Star Wars characters, sound effects, etc.) until bedtime, without getting everyone TOO excited. Really, I think the Ewoks seem to have gone over better with really young kids back in the '80s than the seem to have for later generations: I was perfectly fine with them when these movies aired (I was about age 11), my brother could take them or leave them, my sister adored them... I don't remember anything like the ill-will that younger generations seem to have for them. On one hand, it's like a lot of things took a turn for the darker-and-edgier and more cynical since then, and on the other, with the Star Wars franchise still being new to us, we didn't really hold the whole thing up to as high an untouchable status as 30-40 years of nostalgia has conferred upon the franchise - even if the Ewoks weren't your cup of tea, they were just sort of tolerated, rather than "hate-sinks" for "nearly ruining otherwise cinematic perfection" or whatever it is that sets the younger people off about them. These movies in particular weren't the best the franchise had to offer - even at the time, my brother and I were old enough to realize that. Still, we were also also old enough to realize that seeing a couple harmless little Star Wars-themed fantasy movies between bigger theatrical movies was still a treat, even if it wasn't a big on, and we never held that against the Ewok movies. And I, at least, was also old enough to remember that the Ewok movies were tons better and more well-intentioned and well-crafted than the completely bankrupt and off-putting Holiday Special a few years before - even at age 5 or 6 I knew that one was a stinker, and remembered it only as a weird fever dream-like experience that every other kid I knew thought I was imagining for years until the internet refreshed some memories! "No, seriously, there was another Star Wars movie, I saw it back in the 70s, they went to Chewbacca's home planet, there was a creepy ceremony, and baby Chewbacca almost fell out of a tree... and that's all I really remember about it, except that it wasn't good, in fact, it was terrible!" "Man, I'm telling you, that was that Ewok movie!" "No, there were TWO of those, and they were NOT the same thing - those were pretty good! This was yet ANOTHER Star Wars movie - you gotta believe me!" Thank you Internet for rediscovering the Holiday Special - it was even worse than I remembered, but it's good to know that I, at least, wasn't responsible for making it up!

This movie came out in 85 I remember renting it at the video store this was after return of the Jedi! The first one in 84 had that cool giant well back then through a childs eye it looked cool 😎
When I was eight years old and dying for anything Star Wars, I loved this movie. Granted, that was 1990 and I was eight. Haven't seen either Ewok movie in over twenty years, thanks for the reminder Chris! I also loved the cartoon and the Droids cartoon even more. You should review Droids.
I always felt that these movies took place after Return of the Jedi and Not before. For one thing Wicket was bigger in this movie than in Jedi (Warwick Davis was 15 in the TV movies and 11 when he did Jedi) Also in the Previous film , Caravan of Courage, The Ewoks sorta knew about Humans or acted like they knew of them.
Oh my God Chris, I've been waiting for you to talk about this ever since you've mentioned the Star Wars Christmas Specia.l this is a gem of a TV show from my childhood.
So KOTOR (KOTOR means "Knights Of The Old Republic", for those not in the loop)is not considered STAR WARS cannon but these two Ewok movies AND THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL are!!??
Sammy Lane no these films are not canon disney re-did the Canon Only the movies 1-8, Rouge One, The Clone wars movie/Show, Rebels, any novel after the Disney purchase
Pikachu speaking doesn't bother me, because it was speaking during a dream of Ash's. It wasn't reality. If I had Pokémon, I would probably dream of them speaking to me too. I know I have dreams where I talk to my dog often lol.
That strange gremlin like animal you are scared of, I actually really liked as a kid. It was funny and even cute, I remember. xD But yeah, I actually liked both movies as a kid. They are quite well made imho, especially for TV.
I grew up watching these and it’s only just now that I realize that there were two Ewok movies, not just one. I remember both plots, but in my memory it’s just one long movie. 😂
They actually don't, but they definitely should and if they do, there's nothing in them that breaks canon. Even the magic parts if you consider the Night Sisters. I always include them in my marathons (after RotJ). I adore these movies.
Hey from Ohio! Love your channel and loving these Ewok episodes. People often forget about these, or maybe they just try to lol Thanks for covering these!

I like the more mature feel of the Mandalorian though!!
Shawn Garrett u obviously didn’t get the comment my guy
ME TOO!
Does everyone forget that Ewoks capture, cook alive and I'm assuming eat human characters in the Star Wars Universe?
Just the bad guys
It goes both ways. Apparently Ewoks are juicy and delicious when slow cooked in a casserole with a side of mash and a nice glass of red wine. Mmm mm, delightful.

Same! I had nightmares about those orcs but still couldn't stop watching
A year late but same 😂😂 Was talking about it with a friend earlier and had to search it up again.

I still enjoy it because it’s nostalgic and it doesnt try to be an epic film, deep or anything like that, its a childish escape.

Great video Chris!
Thank you Chris for making my day a lot better I'm having trouble with friends and this has lightened up my day
Who here liked these movies as kids? My Star Wars off time i enjoyed Wicket and his adventures. #proEwok ;P
These things were cute, and mostly harmless (at least in the U.S. in the early '80s, where we saw them for free on TV when they first aired!) For the first one, my poor mother watched it with me and my younger brother and sister, and for the second one, I was just old enough to babysit my brother and sister with this movie to keep them out of trouble while my parents went to a rock concert together (The Kinks? The Rolling Stones? Billy Squier?) Mom had fixed up some TV-Dinners for the first one, and I popped up some Jiffy-Pop for the second so many months later, and the movies kept everyone more or less enchanted for a couple hours for those two nights, and the movies worked sort of like bedtime stories to keep us amused after dark until bedtime.
The stuff that "didn't make sense" to the reviewer here was kind of standard-issue for '80s fantasy: the likes of The Dark Crystal, Willow, Ladyhawke, the Beastmaster, the Conan and Red Sonja movies, Legend, Labyrinth, The Never-Ending Story, Krull, and so on were loaded with weird, magical non-sequiturs, and nobody in the '80s seemed to think anything of it.
The Ewok movies were (at least to me at the time) cut from the same sort of cloth as some of the more kid-friendly examples of '80s fantasy: the stories were a little cheesier and less ambitious than average and the Star Wars theme was obviously shoe-horned into two unrelated stories that were probably not written for the franchise (with Ewoks replacing whatever completely different Hobbit-expies or Gelfling-alikes were originally intended for the scripts), but the special effects, though low-budget compared to the theatrical Star Wars films, were pretty good for fantasy TV-movies, and the results were just well-paced and immersive enough to keep everyone awake and involved (with the help of familiar Star Wars characters, sound effects, etc.) until bedtime, without getting everyone TOO excited.
Really, I think the Ewoks seem to have gone over better with really young kids back in the '80s than the seem to have for later generations: I was perfectly fine with them when these movies aired (I was about age 11), my brother could take them or leave them, my sister adored them... I don't remember anything like the ill-will that younger generations seem to have for them. On one hand, it's like a lot of things took a turn for the darker-and-edgier and more cynical since then, and on the other, with the Star Wars franchise still being new to us, we didn't really hold the whole thing up to as high an untouchable status as 30-40 years of nostalgia has conferred upon the franchise - even if the Ewoks weren't your cup of tea, they were just sort of tolerated, rather than "hate-sinks" for "nearly ruining otherwise cinematic perfection" or whatever it is that sets the younger people off about them.
These movies in particular weren't the best the franchise had to offer - even at the time, my brother and I were old enough to realize that. Still, we were also also old enough to realize that seeing a couple harmless little Star Wars-themed fantasy movies between bigger theatrical movies was still a treat, even if it wasn't a big on, and we never held that against the Ewok movies.
And I, at least, was also old enough to remember that the Ewok movies were tons better and more well-intentioned and well-crafted than the completely bankrupt and off-putting Holiday Special a few years before - even at age 5 or 6 I knew that one was a stinker, and remembered it only as a weird fever dream-like experience that every other kid I knew thought I was imagining for years until the internet refreshed some memories! "No, seriously, there was another Star Wars movie, I saw it back in the 70s, they went to Chewbacca's home planet, there was a creepy ceremony, and baby Chewbacca almost fell out of a tree... and that's all I really remember about it, except that it wasn't good, in fact, it was terrible!" "Man, I'm telling you, that was that Ewok movie!" "No, there were TWO of those, and they were NOT the same thing - those were pretty good! This was yet ANOTHER Star Wars movie - you gotta believe me!" Thank you Internet for rediscovering the Holiday Special - it was even worse than I remembered, but it's good to know that I, at least, wasn't responsible for making it up!

I loved this movie as a kid. It still holds a dear place in my heart, regardless of how "bad" it may be.
This review kept me rolling on the floor good job!!
Thanks...I had blissfully forgotten these.
This movie came out in 85 I remember renting it at the video store this was after return of the Jedi! The first one in 84 had that cool giant well back then through a childs eye it looked cool 😎
When I was eight years old and dying for anything Star Wars, I loved this movie. Granted, that was 1990 and I was eight. Haven't seen either Ewok movie in over twenty years, thanks for the reminder Chris! I also loved the cartoon and the Droids cartoon even more. You should review Droids.
I always felt that these movies took place after Return of the Jedi and Not before. For one thing Wicket was bigger in this movie than in Jedi (Warwick Davis was 15 in the TV movies and 11 when he did Jedi) Also in the Previous film , Caravan of Courage, The Ewoks sorta knew about Humans or acted like they knew of them.
After a long day of the grave yard shift. I can sit home and watch your reviews for hours. Thank you
Galactic Basic, not English. It's the space fantasy version of the Common Tongue.
Shutup nerd.
Hey man, these movies introduced me to Star Wars, I was 2 when they came out.
Oh my God Chris, I've been waiting for you to talk about this ever since you've mentioned the Star Wars Christmas Specia.l this is a gem of a TV show from my childhood.
Hey Chris, is there a chance you will review the movie "Monsters"? I´ve watched it a few days ago and I would love to know what you think about it.
It's my birthday and i just woke up to see Chris has uploaded a new Hilariocity. The best birthday present
Ananasa happy birthday
Jean Grey Thanks!
What are your hopes for the new trilogy with rian johnson?
Your funniest review to date!
So KOTOR (KOTOR means "Knights Of The Old Republic", for those not in the loop)is not considered STAR WARS cannon but these two Ewok movies AND THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL are!!??
Sammy Lane no these films are not canon disney re-did the Canon
Only the movies 1-8, Rouge One, The Clone wars movie/Show, Rebels, any novel after the Disney purchase
Collectorman101 and one Darth Maul comic that came out just before Disney bought it
Doesn't writing the meaning of an abbreviation render the abbreviation useless?
Those ewoks scared the fuck out of me if I see that in a white van.
*O H H I M A R K*
Whoever decided that Ewoks should speak English should be thrown into a Sarlacc pit for all I care.
Jackarantula Wait till you see Pikachu speaking English 😂
James Lawner By Ryan Renlods.
Pikachu speaking doesn't bother me, because it was speaking during a dream of Ash's. It wasn't reality. If I had Pokémon, I would probably dream of them speaking to me too. I know I have dreams where I talk to my dog often lol.
It's not as dumb as them existing in the first place
Only Wicket spoke broken english in Battle for Endor. Every other Ewok chattered in their language.
Wickets creepy dead eyes terrify me. I still see them when I close my eyes.
Only 10 days until The Last Jedi! The hype is real!
One With The Brick Films only ten,I need to keep up with the movies
One With The Brick Films is it ? rly ? ni not rly
Good news for you guys, it’s releases the 13th. Which makes it only 7 days left.
I'll make a bold prediction and say that the new movie will be a competently made but forgettable fluff like "The force awakens" and "Rogue One".
hype is for retarded kids and corporate pockets
I loved these movies as a kid! I had no taste 😩
Tanith C. Same
Well, we all have a past, I guess... No matter how dark it was
same
Same here even though this one gave me nightmares lol
Hilarious review Chris, had me creased up with laughter a few times
I was watching Return of the Jedi mostly to see the Ewoks. So this movie must have been a great treat for 80's kids.
That strange gremlin like animal you are scared of, I actually really liked as a kid. It was funny and even cute, I remember. xD
But yeah, I actually liked both movies as a kid. They are quite well made imho, especially for TV.
Loved this, it was hilarious, good job Chris!
Chris always cracks me up
Stars wars is weird as shit
Robo Chop it's just shit
Screw you, Chacon you work at iHop
Chacon de tu Naerma xd
I actually remember watching this when it came out on TV back in the mid 80's...i like it just because it was a Star War movie...on TV
I grew up watching these and it’s only just now that I realize that there were two Ewok movies, not just one. I remember both plots, but in my memory it’s just one long movie. 😂
6:58 is that the blurrg vrom the mandalorion
It is. This, of course, is where they got it from.
Chris Stuckmann can you do the Last Airbender film as a Hilarocity review.
I don't care I love the Ewoks and I love these movies, however I'm pretty sure that they take place after Return of the Jedi.
They actually don't, but they definitely should and if they do, there's nothing in them that breaks canon. Even the magic parts if you consider the Night Sisters. I always include them in my marathons (after RotJ). I adore these movies.
Your line at starting at 9:07 had me laughing myself sick. I know this is very, very late, but this is the most I've ever enjoyed a review.
Hey from Ohio! Love your channel and loving these Ewok episodes. People often forget about these, or maybe they just try to lol Thanks for covering these!
This was legitimately funny. Good job Chris.
