Trivia / Ewoks

• The Danza: Wicket's last name is derived from the first name of the actor who played him in Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: Ewok Adventures - Warwick Davis.
• Dueling Dubs:
  • For a Star Wars spin-off, this series has an unusual amount of dubs, which was dubbed about three times in Mexico.
  • There's also two Japanese dubs: One for VHS and another for DVD, each one with their respective casts.
• Follow the Leader: Would you believe that Ewoks came out of the same period as shows like The Smurfs and Care Bears? In fact, Ewoks and Care Bears were animated by the same company, Nelvana.
• The Other Darrin: For Season 2, the voice cast goes from being recorded in Toronto to being recorded in San Francisco.
• Real-Life Relative:
  • In the Mexican dub, Latara and King Gorneesh's voice actors (Rocío Garcel and Jorge Roig Sr.) are married in Real Life, making their relationship in this series as Hilarious in Hindsight.
  • Paul Dini was a writer on this show about Ewoks. Since Return of the Jedi the Ewoks met Princess Leia, voiced by his wife Misty Lee in Star Wars Battlefront (2015) and Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) which also featured a mode called "Ewok Hunt." Which is Hilarious in Hindsight.
• Recycled: The Series: The cartoon itself is based on the two Star Wars: Ewok Adventures movies which were, in turn, developed from Return of the Jedi. Bob Carrau, who wrote the screenplay for the first Ewok Adventures film, went on to write several episodes of the Ewoks cartoon.
• Unspecified Role Credit: Both seasons end up just crediting the actors without role assignments, with the exception of Jim Henshaw and Cree Summer as Wicket and Kneesaa (respectively) in the first. The entire cast for the first season has since been identified with their roles, in large part due to voice familiarity with Nelvana's other series, while the Season 2 cast largely remains a mystery as to who voices who.
• You Sound Familiar:
  • In the Japanese dub, Bin Shimada (who voiced Paploo in the DVD dub) is the current official voice actor for Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise starting with the Special Editions. Likewise, Kenyuu Horiuchi (Deej in the DVD dub) had many roles in the franchise as well, including voicing Han Solo in the third Nippon TV (NTV) dub, as well as voicing Jon Vander in Star Wars Rebels.
  • The Latin American Spanish dub has many instances of this:
    • Mónica Manjarrez (PD-28 in the original dubbed version) voiced young Princess Leia in the original trilogy.
    • José Luis Orozco (Chief Chirpa in the third dubbed version) is the official dub voice of Bobba Fett.
