Review of The Ewok Adventure (1984) by Ricky J — 08 Dec 2007
Mouldy 'Star Wars' leftovers, scripted from a story presumably scribbled by George Lucas on the back of an envelope. Even the narrator of this sorry spin-off sounds bored as he relates the story of a family who crash land on the forest moon of Endor and get separated; the kids meet up with the Ewoks, who help them find their parents.
I quite like the Ewoks myself, but they're incapable of carrying a film (two films) without the established 'Star Wars' characters. The kids are immensely annoying, the so-called 'adventure' is lacking in energy, it looks cheap, the performances are awful and the effects are naff, which all adds up to not a lot.
File this one away next to the Holiday Special, George.
