The second film of the original Star Wars trilogy, Return of the Jedi, introduced fans to the cuddly Ewoks. Thanks to the popularity of the furry residents of Endor, two made-for-TV films were released, Caravan of Courage: an Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle For Endor. And two years after the theatrical release of the film that made them popular, the cuddly Ewoks finally brought their presence to the Saturday morning airwaves in an animated series called simply Ewoks.

The 1985 series finds the Ewoks, led by Wicket W. Warrick living on the forest moon of Endor during the era that precedes the Battle of Endor, when Wicket, Widdle and Weechee were teenagers. Along with their friends, Princess Kneesaa and Latara, the group engaged in numerous dangerous adventures against such foes as Morag the Tulgah Witch and the Duloks, a rival species.

26 epsisodes of Ewoks were produced and aired over two seasons. In the second year, the name of the series was briefly changed to The Ewoks and Star Wars Droids Adventure Hour before ABC nixed the droids and replaced many of the former characters for The All-New Ewoks.

And luckily for young viewers, the producers were kind enough to translate all of the conversation from the native Ewokese into English - which made the need for close-captioning unnecessary and let fans easily follow the adventures of their fuzzy friends.
