* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Umak's nephew is a fairly competent Dulok and seems to bear the Ewoks less ill will than the rest of his bumbling AlwaysChaoticEvil tribe, but he appears in a single episode rather than get his own mini-arc.

** There are millions of Ewoks on Endor, but the residents of Bright Tree Village never meet members of other tribes, which could have given them some interesting allies or enemies and fleshed out their culture by showing how Ewoks view each other or eke out a living outside of the woods.

* RecycledScript: First season's Sunstar vs. Shadowstone and second season's The First Apprentice are surprisingly similar. Both episodes start with Teebo wanting to do more meaningful magic and ending up lured to a villain's lair. The villain then turns out to be Logray's rival and in both cases dies at the end.

* CompleteMonster: [[WickedWitch Morag the Tulgah witch]] is the ArchNemesis of Logray the Ewok shaman and is responsible for several attempts to destroy him and his tribe. After capturing the Queen of the Wisties, Morag transforms her into a fire carrier and has her infect the other Wisties with her curse, using them to start a forest fire that threatens the Ewok village and causes the trees to cry out in pain and fear, the Ewok children hearing these cries. Later, Morag tries to deprive the Ewoks of their medicine by targeting the berries they use for it, and in another attempt, Morag kidnaps a baby Phlog and [[FrameUp frames the Ewoks]] in the hopes that the baby's family will attack the village and wipe the Ewoks out. In her final appearance, Morag kidnaps several Ewok children and uses them to lure Logray to her in order to force him to trade the powerful Sunstar to her. Only releasing the children so that they may watch her kill their shaman, Morag activates a volcanic eruption that not only threatens the lives of the Ewoks, but [[BadBoss her own servants as well]].

** Oddly enough, this happens to the Ewoks as a while in "Battle for the Sunstar." In ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', the Ewoks were able to defeat an entire Imperial army in RockBeatsLaser fashion. In "Battle for the Sunstar," a single Imperial scientist, Dr. Raygar, seems able to easily dominate the Ewoks with his technology.

* BadassDecay: Happens to Teebo in the second season. From the character who was slightly more sensible and calm than the others and possessing some magical powers by nature; he turns into an incompetent klutz prone to falling, breaking things and his only interest seems to be wooing Latara.

* MemeticMutation: Poob[=/=]Ploob[[labelnote:Explanation]]In “Horville’s Hut of Horrors”, Horville presents one of several monsters, which scares the kids. For years, Wookieepedia had the name of this monster listed as “Poob”. Then in 2019, streamer [=DougDoug=] noticed it when it was suggested in his chat as a unique word to use in a ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' challenge that used voice commands. But during the stream, viewers in the chat pointed out that the character might’ve actually been saying “Ploob” instead. What followed was multiple hours’ worth of debate over which was the correct name, the Wookieepedia page getting updated, vandalized, and finally locked, and even getting Creator/PaulDini, the episode’s writer, on Twitter to confirm it was indeed “Ploob”. Wanting “Poob” to still be the correct word, [=DougDoug=] started a mock courtroom for people to vote which one was the right one. They voted for “Ploob”, which still dissatisfied him so much that he even started a White House petition.[[/labelnote]]
