Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Marauders raid the Ewok village and steal a power supply they believe to be magical. Wicket helps Cindel escape the evil witch Charal, and they befriend a hermit who may help them save the village. Just like with the first film Ewoks: The Battle for Endor is a film that except the fact that is boring and dull the Star Wars name is been butchered to death. There are so many characters like the old man that lives in the woods or the villain that looks like fish. And basically the entire film is uninteresting and i got bored a lot it's made for kids and kids will like it but hardcore fans of Empire Strikes Back and the original Star Wars Trilogy will get some Holiday Special flashbacks plus it feels cheap a lot like the Hercules TV Show with Kevin Sorbo from the acting to the characters themselves. Overall Ewoks: The Battle for Endor is a movie that kids should see but everyone else? No!!

I agree the first Ewok movie sucked...it was so bad that I didn't even want to try the Battle of Endor until the kids demanded to see it and watched it twenty or thirty times laughing their heads off with their friends (the girls are 8-11). Finely, I sat down and watched it. I can see why this would rate 10 stars with little girls... all the cute teddy bear creatures and super fast Tweek or Tweet or whatever his name is and the guy that looks like Santa Claus are all cute and cuddly for little Cindel and our kids who watch her and imagine to be her.When I first saw this I thought Cindel, played by Aubree Miller, was either Drew Barrymore at six, or Shirley Temple...she is a dumpling of a curly blonde, rather not the best actress around... if you want to see girls this age who can act I suggest Hayflower and Quiltshoe (A Finnish Movie).I think when you review a movie that is for kids that we should see them through their eyes and not be so picky about cardboard rocket ships that would be impossible to fly. Thus, I give this a 10 star rating because my kids and their friends loved it.

Since my first Star Wars experience was Return Of the Jedi I have always had a soft spot for those furry fellas. I know a lot of older fans consider them the weak point of the first trilogy, but I think they're great, especially the song at the end of Jedi!I had seen the first spin off, Caravan of Courage, a long time ago on video. So when I got the Caravan of Courage/Battle for Endor double bill, despite this being the second film, I watched this film first.Was I in for a surprise. Not only does Principle Dick Vernon from Breakfast Club turn up, but a lot of the major characters from the first film die very early in the film. Although Deej and Shoda from the first film appear, the only Ewok to feature prominently in this film is Wicket. He, along with the girl from the first film, an old man plus a speedy little thing called Willy eat up most of the film with their crazy hi-jinx. I have to admit to to having a smile on my face through most of the comedy middle part of the film and even chuckling a few times.Also |all the Ewoks seem to be be able to speak English with no problem at all! The ending of the film has the real shock for me. The Ewoks manage to get their hands on some firearms and seeing them shoot within sharpshooter accuracy is a bit disturbing.Despite all the changes difference from Ewok canonlogy (is that a word?) and the very ropey special effects, I prefer this to the first film. It may not be that great a film, but anyone like me with a soft spot for the Ewoks will probably get something from this.

This is the best of the two 'Wok films. The first, "Caravan of Courage", was terrible. Luckily the lessons were learned. This time Wicket has learned a little of Cindel's language so narration isn't necessary. They meet a mischievous creature called Teek and his grumpy master, Noah. Together they set out to rescue Wicket's family and repair Noah's space craft to leave Endor. They are threatened by various monsters, including a shape shifter. They share many cute moments too. I did think the end battle went on for too long but that's the only drawback. The dialogue & set pieces are much improved. The plot moves forward. Avoid if you're not a 'Wok fan but if you are, you won't be disappointed. 9/10
