Synopsis

In this sequel to the greatly-admired "The Ewok Adventure" which premiered a year earlier as George Lucas' maiden television venture (directed by John Korty), these imaginative, adventuresome furry creatures team up with a little girl marooned on the forest moon of Endor where her family's starship has crashed and with a feisty old hermit (played by veteran actor Wilford Brimley) to fight off a fearsome king, a hazardous cave monster, a sinister witch (Sian Phillips), and the king's army of giants.

Written and directed by the relatively little-known brother team, Jim and Ken Wheat, Lucas discoveries, this second adventure won Emmy Award nominations as Outstanding Children's Program and for sound mixing. Curiously (since it premiered in TV's family hour), it also bore a warning: "Parental discretion is advised."
