They totally should have made a movie about Wookies.

The Movie: Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, directed by Jim and Ken Wheat
Recommendation: Von Gauzen
Reason: "Childhood, Gwen, childhood!" I don't think she hates me, but this might be preemptive revenge for the cold I'm circulating.

So. Wilford Brimley isn't a Jedi, the stupid kid from the first movie dies in the first five minutes (I checked), there are horses and magic on Endor. Oh, and the battle for Endor isn't so much a battle for Endor as it is a bunch of Ewoks beating merry hell out of a bunch of lizardmen. It was sort of like a D&D game, with Star Wars thrown in. In that respect, it was fun. I had to keep in mind that it was a kids movie from the 80's when logic took a sharp right and fell over a cliff now and again, but it was fun.

I guess there's not a whole lot more to say about this movie. It was filmed for TV, like the other Ewoks movie was. It doesn't really feel like Star Wars-it's just a spin-off, and one that's not very consistent with the original trilogy. Like the first, it didn't age well-the special effects were uneven, and the plot draaaaaaaaagged. But dude? Ewoks.
