Ah, the memories! It's been over 20 years since the Ewoks and Droids cartoons first aired, and now that the new 3D Clone Wars series will soon be airing this fall, it seems like an appropriate time to look back at these original series.
I still remember reading in Bantha Tracks way back in the mid '80's that there would soon be Star Wars cartoons coming to our TV screens, one featuring the adventures of C-3PO and R2-D2, and the other featuring the super popular characters introduced in Return of the Jedi: the Ewoks!
On the day that both of these series both aired, I remember waking up around 5AM to tune in (for some reason it was a very early showing for us in British Columbia). What a thrill to hear those theme songs for the first time! The shows did seem a little corny compared to the coolness of the Star Wars movies, but for a kid they were still a lot of fun, and they assured fans that Star Wars would live on even after the Original Trilogy had come to an end.
