So I found out about 2 Star Wars cartoons from the 80s: One about Ewoks and the other about C3PO and R2D2.
Are either of the watchable?
DONT DO IT OP
>>78549341
No, they pretty suck, not even a full bag and a blow job can make em entertaining.
>>78549341
They're firmly mediocre, but not downright awful. If you have to see every single piece of Star Wars media ever, there are... worse options.
>>78549341
Droids is awful, Ewoks is OK for little kids.
>>78549341
They are very watchable. Though Ewoks is better than Droids. There are those who say both are trash. but they say that about anything because they hate fun, and hate children's cartoons, and hate anything that isn't their current favorite.
Droids is 3po and R2 wandering the back roads of the Empire, looking for a good master to serve, and trying not to get killed on the way.
Ewoks is a bunch of ewok kids having adventures in a forest that would very likely kill them if it wasn't the 1980s.

Judge by the intro
>>78549710
Was Teebo force sensitive?
>>78549660
>There are those who say both are trash. but they say that about anything because they hate fun
so /co/?
>>78549341
The female ewoks are pretty fuckable.......someone had to say it.
>>78549793
Magic wasn't the same as the Force. Remember, Ewoks was made by Nelvana, who used the 60s sci-fi viewpoint that willpower was one of the fundamental forces of the universe. You didn't need to be chosen by the Force to pick up and move the other fundamental forces like light and heat, gravity, the power of love, telepathy, etc.
>>78549955
>You will never be Teebo
>>78549341
The Droids theme song is awesome
Loved a Ewoks cartoon as a kid. The i rewacthed it decades later as an adult. Ewoks is a petty enjoyable cartoon that was a little bit ahead of its time.
Shadows of Endor was pretty good.
Wish they would pitch it for a series.
>>78549560
Yeah, the Holiday Special. That's about it.
>>78550510
The live-action Ewok movies weren't as bad as some say they were, but they did have a decreasing entertainment value (sequelitis) in the second and third movies.
Ewoks Season 1>>Droids>>>>>>>>>>>>Ewoks Season 2
Ewoks underwent a significant overhaul between seasons and pretty much everyone was recast, ton of redesigns, and the characterizations got super shallow.
>>78550089
>>78549793
Old EU considered Ewok magic to be tapping into the Force.
>>78550212
Written and performed by Stewart Copeland.
>>78550510
The holiday special at least has the novelty of being awful going for it.
>>78550585
There were only two Ewok movies anon.
One where Ewoks help a little girl and her whiny brother save their parents and a sequel where the little girl's entire family is murdered by Space Orcs in the first five minutes.
>>78549341
I don't know if it's my imagination, but is Anthony Daniels pitched up in the new movie?
>>78551123
Nah, just a side effect of Daniels getting older and having to force the voice a little more. I want to say he's sounded like this since at least Sith.
What a filthy dirty naughty robot
>>78549341
Droids is unwatchable. Ewoks is comfy.
>>78550588
I remember the Ewoks theme tune and remember fucking hating it.
>>78552790
Which one? The one from the first season or the second?
Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_84-sE-c6B0
Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5fsI2dYtSo
>>78550768
That was hilarious. I love(read:LOATHE)sequels that make the previous installment pointless.
I remmber enjoying the ewok one when I saw it as a kid on vhs.
They're pretty fun, I prefer Ewoks overall though.
>>78552845
First, just because of Taj Mahal's voice
>They never made a show about Luke, Han and Leia's adventures between the films
>>78554438
I would totally fuck those ewoks
>>78555528
But they're so hairy..
>>78555558
theres still a pussy under that fur...
>>78555613
But, fleas and stuff, they don't have shampoo on Endor you know.
>>78555667
im sure they have water... and wtf is with you? when you want to fuck something you FUCK IT.
>>78555528
Would you still if they shared the live action designs?
>>78549341
I remember liking the Droids cartoon when I was a kid, I still think the opening is awesome in a cheesy way.

Yeah,she'd get it.
>>78555753
The singer was Stewart Copeland, aka the drummer from Sting
I've only seen the first "story arc" of Droids - Droids had several arcs where R2-D2 and C-3PO served different masters - and I have to say... it was okay. Ironically, Artoo and Threepio were the weakest part of the show; Threepio just did a bunch of wacky bullshit to fill time, and Artoo was just... there. I thought the bad guys had a really interesting dynamic, and were easily the best part of the whole thing.
7/10, it has its moments but keep your finger on the fast forward button.
Just watch Tie Fighter again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_CP4SuoTU
I just recalled that in one cartoon C-3PO actually strips and shows off his new golden plating
even with porn-music playing in the background
>was C-3PO always a slut?
>>78560551
That was in Genndy's Clone Wars
Would You the cartoon Ewoks? Yes. The live-action ones? No. I didn't like the 2nd season intro- wth was that? It was like they just took everything that was ewoks local habits (local slang, local music-drums, etc) and dumped it into a one-minute long mess.
>>78550640
Since the Force is everywhere it might as well have been that. I'm not saying it's the force but...
>>78555411
well the closest we got to that was the cartoon in the holiday special
>>78560551
>>78560626
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LssvfBM3MM4
Yes.
>>78549710

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-WOKS
I really liked that show as a kid, but I was also really into Battle for Endor and Caravan of Courage, so what the fuck do I know.
>>78560626
Isn't that still canon? (As per references to Ventress in the 3d)
>>78566309
Not anymore. Though Filoni started out his CLone Wars as complimentary to Genndy's.
>>78566459
So I guess that elements are considered 'canon' (IE: Ventress was assumed dead, and a feared assassin of Dooku) but not the entire story/episode that it was explained in for the Genndy source?
>>78563723
ooer
Ewoks seems like just another typical 80's fantasy kid's show with talking animals. Only they just took names from Star Wars for the extra name draw.
But ewoks and 3P-0, those seems like weird choices for cartoon series to take the boring background characters and try to wrap a series around them.
>>78567971
Non-human characters anon
Less fees for actors likenesses (remember how DiC had to change things for The Real Ghostbusters) I guess George probably didn't want to fork out too much or something.
Funnily enough Warrick Davis did offer to reprise his role as Wicket.
>>78549341
the boba fett one is much better, trust me, friend.
>>78567971
>>78568012
They kept it to side characters because Lucasfilm was still thinking they might do post-Jedi Star Wars films with the main crew in the near future and wanted to keep the field open.
Also, Ewoks were network friendly what with the Smurfs/Care Bears/Pony fads going on at the time. Hell, an episode about an early encounter with the Imperials in the form of a marooned Storm Trooper in the first season was rejected by ABC for being too Star Wars-ish
>>78568807
>an episode about an early encounter with the Imperials in the form of a marooned Storm Trooper in the first season was rejected by ABC for being too Star Wars-ish
I read about thatI'd love to see an episode of that nature in something in a comic or even Rebels...
>>78549341
Better than Rebels.
>>78568807
>Hell, an episode about an early encounter with the Imperials in the form of a marooned Storm Trooper in the first season was rejected by ABC for being too Star Wars-ish
Weird that they rejected that, but OKed the episode that led directly into Return of the Jedi.
I guess since it was the series finale, the ABC execs didn't care anymore.
>>78569297
>the episode that led directly into Return of the Jedi.
Whoah, wait. For real?
That's how the Ewoks cartoon ended? A direct lead-in to ROTJ? That sounds pretty awesome. (but is it actually awesome?)
>>78569323
Lead-in in that it's about an Imperial archaeologist stealing the Ewok's Sunstar in a gambit to try and overthrow Sheev.
The Shadows of Endor comic mentioned by >>78550450 is a more direct bridge between the cartoon, the Ewok movies and Jedi, in that it shows the beginning of Imperial occupation with the Dulok swamp being torn up to become the Shield Generator bunker, as well as an encounter between Logray and the Nightsister Charal from the second movie.
>>78569323
>(but is it actually awesome?)
The episode was written by Paul Dini so I dunno. Maybe.
I've tried watching it, but I've never found a copy online that isn't fucking scrambled to hell by VHS tracking errors.
>>78569379
Wait, the Ewok TV movies take place before Return of the Jedi? How? Wicket speaks English in those movies, but can't in ROTJ.
>>78569471
Here

This channel's got some of the best copies of the 80s Star Wars cartoons in general.
Also, have a YouTube Poop of the episode in question.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm3H1l-o8RM
>>78569501
The common theory is that humans were actually speaking Bocce.
>>78569501
The Ewoks also speak English in the cartoon but don't in Jedi.
Just assume they're speaking a different language that's being translated for our benefit.
>>78552867
Then you must "love" the new Star Wars movie.
the ewoks one is goat tier
Really don't see how a cartoon can harm the story for movies. It's just a tie in meant for kids.
Besides a cartoon never hurt the sequels to Ghostbusters, Batman, Teen Wolf
>>78549341
They each had their own comic book series, the first arc of Droids has art done by John Romita Sr. Pretty cool stuff
>>78554438
Latara is best girl-wok.
>>78560907
Second season, when they fucked errything up.
>>78549341
Droids had the GOAT intro

>George Lucas is a furry
>Random wizard in Endor
Good lord the 80s seem horrible

>>78572449
You talking shit about Logray?

>>78574214
Heh, yeah, the Star wars muppets episode. No ewoks, but it had the droids, Chewie, Mark Hamil and was as funny as anything gets.
>>78569471
>>78552845
I like the first, it just feels nice.
But the only thing that I remember about the show itself was something about the forest coming alive and tickling the Ewoks or something like that. I have no idea what episode that was.
>>78555411
back then people considered Luke-Leia-Han a legit love-triangle, just imagine the possibilities.
>>78552845
So basically MLP but Star Wars.
>>78560439
>Star Wars: The Anime
That short was our only hope.
>>78560439
>That 80s shading
Beautiful
>>78560439
Oh man, the way the laser blasts and explosions and other such effects in this are drawn is perfect. Just like an old school mecha anime.
>>78579176
>Special thanks to /m/
No wonder.
>>78578025
I forgot how much nobody at Marvel knew how to draw Chewbacca...
>>78580064
It's amarvelreally.
I couldn't even stand Droids when I was little. I thought Ewoks was ok. I recall it regurgitating old Indian/Native American stories and myths most of the time. I might be confusing that with the books, though. I didn't care, but if you do, you might think Ewoks sucks too.
>>78580784
Also elements of Tolkien and Carl Barks. Former's especially noticeable when Morag's involved.
>>78580825
How much, though? I seem to recall it being almost word-for-word from Indian stories in nearly every episode. Remember that Tolkien took from older stuff, too.
Some episodes were pretty GOAT to be honest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM-IN0_m2BI
>>78581082
That was one of the few episodes of Season 2 I liked when going through all the Star Wars stuff ahead of Force Awakens
>>78581152
It does have a nice creepy feel to it.
I have this very vague recollection of Wookies appearing on Ewoks cartoon, but looking up the information about it, it isn't mentioned anywhere.
Am I just imagining things???
>>78581418
Well, Ewoks were supposed to be Wookies back in concept but between the need of getting a lot of tall people plus the fact that Wookies were supposed to be technologically advanced (and maybe the marketability of man-eating teddies though I imagine if that was the case George would have just added more child Wookies there) they decided to basically make short wookies.
>>78581538
...that has nothing to do with what I was asking. My post states that I have a vague memory of Wookies appearing in some of the Ewoks cartoon episodes, but that looking up information about episodes/characters from the cartoon on the Internet yields no results. Which is why I'm asking if it was some other race similar to them, or my memory is just shitty?
>>78581575
Heh, sorry. Truth be told I haven't watched the show myself for a bit, but there were a couple of hairy giant creatures in the show. Or they could have been older Ewoks, no Wookies have appeared though.
>>78581082
>Eat worms and *die* stranger!
>>78549710
WHY DIDNT THE EWOKS USE ALL THIS MAGIC SHIT IN THE BATTLE OF ENDORalso man id fuck the girl one with the feather in her hairmight even commission something but i feel like thatd be too weird even for me
>>78581880
They did
How else do you think all those Stormtroopers missed them and the blows from their rocks were so effective?Alternatively, you could view this show as being the stories Wicket told his children. With suitable embellishments.
Also, don't do it, don't fall to the dark side.
>>78549341
God i remember those, i had both
They were both bad though i watched them a lot as a kid
The c3po one was better
>>78555753
threepio seems really fucking spritely in this
>R2D2 as himself
this seems really hella
>>78581880
Shadows of Endor had the Sunstar being destroyed in the process of destroying an ancient tentacle monster that the Imperial construction had inadvertently unleashed onto the forest.
Thats also why the magic isn't as big a thing in the Ewok movies either
>>78581880
For looking-it-up purposes, her name is Latara.
>>78582106
why is that carebear so hot
>>78582144
Because she is master of disguise.
>>78582258
Aren't you a little short to be a Stormtrooper?
>>78582258no, keep the disguise onin case we get caught, i'll just be fucking a droid
>>78581880
I have seen porn of her. Rule 34 has no exceptions.
>>78549710
>George Lucas signs off on this
>Has a bitch fit about episode 7
Seriously, fuck that guy. I mean, I get it, he's all about merchandising and exploiting IP. That's normal. Bitching after the fact and selling it to Disney (who for all the shit they pull know how to keep their IP classy) because they told him to shove his ideas up his ass? FUCK that guy.
>>78582417there is porn of her but the vast majority of it is fucking garbage
>>78566459
What contradicts between Genndy's and Filoni's?
>>78584602
MUH DICK
>>78549710
This intro is better
https://youtu.be/r8bqcoqfYds
>>78560439
Nice, this also reminds me how Pre Disney Star Wars had the SW fanclub that encouraged these type of short films, I don't know if Disney will continue the trend.
>>78585570
Considering how Disney will sue and shut down day care centers for having their images painted on the walls, I kind of doubt they will endorse fan created films.
>>78549341
Am I really going to be the first person to point out how lewd OP's picture is? Because that's a lewd C3PO.
>>78586344
Not the first time
>>78586344
>>78586716
Nor the second
>>78582258
She's a fucking moonwalking droidbear. If I were a stormtrooper I'd probably stop to watch because it would have looked rad as fuck.
>>78587000
I believe it's called the cakewalkI hope it is, it's the only thing I remember from drama class
>>78587024
Nope you're right, the cakewalk was something else. I have forgotten everything I learnt in drama.
>>78570934
>Droids has art done by John Romita Sr
That really is a disgusting waste of talent.
>>78549341
Fuck that, go watch the two live action ewok movies
>>78590664
Those films do have Ewoks using blasters which is a plus.
A bit late but I found these while digging through my folders
I wanna say Sci-Fi picked these up for awhile back in the mid 90s. They're 80s kids cartoons. Don't expect High Art, but they were entertaining for what they were. If anything, Droids deserves some points for trying to tell actual story arcs, and not just episodic sillyness.
