Dear Mr. Lucas... BOX SET, PLEASE!

In the '80's, George Lucas experimented with a few STAR WARS cartoons on Saturday morning (most likely inspired by THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL'S animated Boba Fett sequence drawing a bit of positive feedback). The resulting shows, DROIDS and EWOKS, featured the pre-trilogy adventures of SW's lovable robots and the furry citizens of Endor's Forest Moon, respectively.

Now, while these would be much appreciated on DVD as box sets, Lucas has chosen to release only a few episodes of each. These DROIDS episodes, spliced together into a sort of half-baked movie, are not reflective of the quality product we normally get from Lucas and Co. So, again I must speak as I have done in the past to another powerful and wealthy conglomerate that has total disregard for the fan base that made it powerful and wealthy in the first place... GIVE US A DAMN BOX SET. NOW. WE WILL BUY IT.

Sorry, but it's called tough love. Instead of getting this, wait for the box set, or really indicate why this series should be released and buy a bootleg set at a Star Wars Convention. May 24, 2008

Great for older kids

not so great animation and stupid story lines. But kids love it. Younger kids (4 - 6) might be a little scared... March 9, 2007

Hey, kid below me...

I guess I should be put in a mental home.

Anyways, I thought this DVD was allright. Some elements were pretty dumb, but what would you expect from a mid-80's saturday morning cartoon? I enjoyed the second feature more than the first, even though I hadn't seen the episodes it contained before. I guess it might have to do with the fact that I wasn't dissapointed by the butchering of its episodes, as I was with the first. To tell you the truth, the changes really don't make any difference to me, but I can see why lots of people would complain. I missed the theme music, but the other changes didn't bother me whatsoever. Call me crazy, I actually liked it. November 7, 2005

1st Star Wars related thing I didn't realy care for.

This was really bad. I had to force myself to finish the first "feature film." I now realize why this only lasted a short time. There was really no point. Compared to the Clone Wars this was bantha poodoo. August 19, 2005
