History YMMV / StarWarsEwokAdventures

** Cindel's brother Mace was probably named after [[Creator/SamuelLJackson a certain Jedi master]].

* HilariousInHindsight:
** Several critics had complained about the rather straightforward magical powers seen in both movies, which resembled more stereotypical fantasy magic rather than the mystical nature of the Force seen in the main movies. Now, ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' has such things as Sith Alchemy and Sith Sorcery, which made their way into the canon.
** The plot of the second film (an orphan girl going to live with a bearded, long-haired old JerkWithAHeartOfGold hermit) bears a rather hilarious resemblance to the plot of ''Film/TheLastJedi''.

* CompleteMonster: [[EvilOverlord "King" Terak]], also in ''Literature/TheIllustratedStarWarsUniverse'', was a brutal Sanyassan warlord who crash-landed upon Endor, destroying his dreams of plundering the galaxy. To vent his frustration, Terak promptly executed the one Sanyassan who could have navigated him out of Endor and resigned himself to decades of [[RapePillageAndBurn pillaging]] Endor, wiping out and enslaving entire Ewok villages out of sheer spite, torturing prisoners to death, and yearning for the day he could return to the stars. When a starship pilot who was captured by Terak revealed he had a crystal powerful enough to fuel an entire spaceship, Terak executed him so he could hunt for the crystal himself, in the process razing an entire village and murdering the entire family of the young child Cindal. Terak remorselessly [[WouldHurtAChild tried to murder Cindal]] herself later, as well as all of her Ewok friends.

* TheWoobie: Cindel, who loses her entire family at the start of ''Battle for Endor'', and tearfully says goodbye to her father- who tells her to run to safety.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Grumpy old man Noa is considered the best part of these films by many despite only appearing midway through the second film. Being played by the quintessential GrumpyOldMan in Creator/WilfordBrimley helped immensely.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Granted, the effects are quite impressive by the standards of 1980s television, but still, every matte painting is obviously a matte painting, every blue-screen shot is obviously a blue-screen shot, and every stop-motion creature was obviously created with stop motion.

* {{Tearjerker}}: You know the bracelet Cindel got with lights representing her family members, to reassure her that they were alive? In the second film, each one goes out as her family -- her mother, her brother and her father -- is ''killed''.

* EpilepticTrees: Around the time that ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' came out, there was a fan theory that Cindel Towani grew up to be Captain Phasma.
