Critics Consensus

Despite some slow pacing and uneven performances, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor finds balance in The Force with its combination of imaginative visuals and charmingly simplistic storytelling.

Monica Collins

USA Today

The action is vivid and occasionally vicious.

There are fewer wondrous special effects, humorous interludes and imaginative new creatures than fans have come to expect. But there are enough of all of these in this otherwise slow-paced movie to boost it above the average level of TV family fare.

The interplay between Teek and crusty old Noa the hermit provides some of the film's best moments.

Most kids age 4 and up will find something of value in this tale of friendship and right and wrong. But you'd think a credible plot was as important as morality, and this shallow excursion just doesn't have one.

The acting is top quality, with curmudgeonly Wilfred Brimley nearly stealing the two-hour show.

Tampa Tribune

This film alternates between being too violent and too boring. And when it isn't violent, it tries to be sugary sweet.

Ethereal sci-fi fantasy environment with epic finale battle. Worthy of the name Star Wars.

This is kinda like how Caravan of Courage is like but a little more improved as seeing this first time goes. I do like how it's balanced with the dark moments and the heartfelt moments as the story progresses. However, it does feel like it a little messy start between the family being killed, a sorceress and even a parrot dragon from out of nowhere just to make this movie as dark and most 80's kids movies were like around the time even growing up with some of them. The villains are a tad silly even by design, but I digress. Again, this is a harmless movie for little kids and even for Star Wars fans if they just like to kill time. This is certainly another movie that I wouldn't mind watching again and again every year as Star Wars Month comes and goes. 6/10.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Better compared to other non-cannon Star Wars films, but yeah it's still bad.

It's sad they did an "Alien 3" and killed off a good chunk of the family seemingly for no reason. Plus these are primitive aliens that know how to use blasters? Which seem to contradict each other. But overall, it's a sad but epic end of the Ewoks saga.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Okay, just because Cindel and Wicket were the best parts of the first movie doesn't mean you have to kill off her entire family in the opening scene!
