My 5 year old loves this DVD to the point that we have had it for a little over a week and he has already watched both sides numerous times (asks for it every night). The best way I can describe it is a Star Wars Carebear cartoon. A little less cutesy than the Carebears, but basically the same target age-group/level. However, the other C3P0/R2D2 cartoon DVD was not liked as much and he actually got bored of it fairly quickly.

In 2004, it was announced that, in addition to a DVD release of the original Star Wars films, we would be getting the Droids and Ewoks animated series on DVD. At that year's comic-con, when Steve Sansweet made the announcment, he simply said that both series would be released. Now, many of us fans automatically assumed that the COMPLETE series would be released. I have always enjoyed both series, so I was very much looking forward to season sets containing all 35 episodes of Ewoks, and all 15 episodes of Droids.
HOWEVER, it was announced, not long before their DVD release, that instead of the complete series, would would simply be getting a rehash of the 1996/1997 VHS releases, where 8 episodes from each series were edited together as two feature length films per series. Now, I have to admit, this format works OK. But that's not what most fans want. What I want to know is, who exactly made the decision to release these edited versions instead of what the fans REALLY want?
Hopefully, for the big 2007 ANH 30th anniversary, Lucasfilm will get their act together, and bring out a COMPLETE release of these two classic series on DVD (or Blu-Ray, etc.).

HOW COULD TEDDY BEARS DEFEAT THE EMPIRE ? I KNOW THEY WHERE ON DRUGS DURING THE MAKING OF EMPIRE & JEDI , BUT TEDDY BEARS ? THEN THEY MADE A KIDS CARTOON ABOUT THE EWOKS THAT WAS ALMOST AS BAD AS THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL (not by much!) THE SHROUD OF THE DARK SIDE HAS FALLEN , BEGUN THE CRAPPY STAR WARS TIE-IN HAS .
P.S. I LOVE THE PART IN EMPIRE WHEN THAT AT-ST STEP'S ON THAT EWOK ! ... IT MADE THE BEST "SQUISH AND CRUNCHING" SOUND !
...........(snicker)....WICKET W. WARRICK , GOD I NEED TO GET SOME OF THE STUFF LUCAS WAS ON !

You buy these types of shows for the nostalgia.. Not to see a new edited version of the show. I'm not happy with my purchase because they turned it into a miniseries instead of keeping it the show I remember. I highly recommend NOT getting this dvd if you're looking for a trip down memory lane.
