Trent B 337 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 RotJ is great (as is every other SW film, IMO).Hello did you not read the title properly? Henry is talking about Ewoks: The Battle of Endor, completely different film. Grant it takes place in the SW universe but that's what the film is called: Ewoks: The Battle Of Endor. Obviously you have never seen it or heard of it...BTW no it definitely doesn't stand up...still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Whoops, I thought you meant the Battle of Endor from RotJ. I've heard of the one you're talking about, but I've never seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpigeon 3 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The Battle of Endor is unexciting, but the space battle was terrific. "She's gonna blow!"Anyway, I don't share the apparent hatred that some member have expressed for the film. I've always liked it enough, despite somewhat losing my taste for it over the years. I still think the first 50 minutes to an hour are very good, particularly.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 The Battle of Endor and ROTJ have many similarities and not only because of the Ewok. You're right.On a serious note, I must say that the two Ewok films actually have great scores (by the obscure Peter Bernstein, son of Elmer). There was only an LP release of the score, but there's a decent CD bootleg floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant Burnette 655 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Both of the Ewok movies are sorry stuff, but they are nowhere near as bad as the Star Wars Holiday Special. Seriously, that may be the worst thing I've ever seen that was made by (supposedly) professional filmmakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 neither is nearly as bad as some are making it out to be, its was a throw away tv special and tv movies. Neither were put together with the care and the talent that AOTC was. On a scale of bad they are no worse than two of the bad episodes of South Park or Family Guy. Stefan is right, Bryant, you need to learn that. He is THE Master of these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that the only characters Lucas devised were Chewie's family and Art Carney's character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
