Vintage Star Wars on Disney+

In a very cool move, Disney have moved closer to having all existing Star Wars content included on their Disney+ streaming platform by adding in a number of vintage and classic titles, including the two Ewoks movies (that were broadcast on TV in many countries, but which had theatrical releases in NZ), the ’80s animated Ewoks cartoons, The Story of the Faithful Wookiee (extracted from The Star Wars Holiday Special), and the 2-D Clone Wars Micro-Series (by Genndy Tartakovsky). In total this is just short of 16 hours of added Star Wars content. The Droids animated series from the ’80s is slated to be added as well, later in the years.

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985)
