Two Saturday morning cartoons called "Droids" and "Ewoks" respectively are
scheduled for this fall (NBC, around 9AM, replacing "Mighty Orbots", I think).
Does anybody know whether they will be animated by Lucasfilm or by some random
hanna-barbarians?
"Droids" is reportedly what C3PO and R2D2 were doing before the time of the
existing SW movies; perhaps this is how SW #1-#3 are going to reach the screen.
As to "Ewoks", I await only the episode where they meet the Smurfs and the Care
Bears, and the cuteness overload makes Endor implode into a neutron star. :-)
