Trivia:

As with the previous film, The Ewok Adventure (1984) (TV), this movie is a spin-off from the original Star Wars trilogy, but fans remain undecided as to whether these two films should be considered part of the official Star Wars canon.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Teek and Noah are eating the bread at the table, they switch back and forth between Noah's face and Teek's, but if you look at the tray of bread you will notice, that there is bread when the camera is facing Noah, but no bread when it is facing Teek.

Visuals add more sparks to this Ewok follow-up.

This steady-going follow-up is simply both more and less. Even though the stop-motion effects look out of date, the visual quality is an improvement over the previous Ewok adventure. You won't be seeing too many strings attached anymore, and the costume appearances are much cleaner. What it lacks for the continuous thrills and excitement of the last one greatly gains in the characters including "Cindel", "Noa", and the stellar cast of Ewoks. Both movie adventures aren't too shabby when it comes to George Lucas' imaginable sensations, but does this mean they're an absolute must-have for every STAR WARS collector? Hmmm....
