When I was a kid I thought Care Bears were part of the Star Wars universe because I was terrified of Ewoks and the only way my mom could calm me down was by saying that Ewoks were cousins to the Care Bears, who just lived on another planet.
I wish I had thought this because it’s awesome, but also because I conversely didn’t understand what carebears were supposed to be (only having the toys), and found THEM a little disturbing 🤣
@@dinosaysrawr That's actually better than the actual episode IX. You know where a major character is brought back from the dead without any previous explanation in a crawl.
@@dinosaysrawr Alan Dean Foster's whole career is basically quantity over quality. He's written 517,000 adaptions, and they all read pretty much the same.
The animation company that made Droids did the animated section of the Holiday Special, so they were trying to avoid conflict with continuity they themselves created
As a character designer, GODDAMN do I wanna work on something like this. This set up is completely non-condusive to creating characters anyone will care to rememeber, and it's hilarious. You could do anything! Yes, THROW your money at me TV executive! I will design hundreds of characters, and they will only show up ONCE! And it will be BEAUTIFUL.
I wonder what is Quinton’s take on The Beatles Cartoon? He should do a whole video on the obscurity of it to bring light to that beautifully horrifying masterpiece.
Fun Fact: The guy who wrote that bizarre novel was the same guy who more recently wrote that Ep. IX pitch where Rey was a robot the whole time...and where Snoke used to be some buff chad guy that Obi threw into a vat of acid when he like 16. I blame Jenny Nicholson for bringing it to my attention.
I do love the Bea Arthur scenes in the holiday special, imagine that as a TV show? Her character running a bar on Tatooine, as a post for rebels to meet up, hide out, or for refugees etc, while sorting out local disturbances
Y'all aren't gonna mention how he said "I feel like they're too obsessed with their own lore" then went into a contextless skit referring to past videos? This man is a treasure
One day in the future, I hope Quinton can become the curator of some sort of lost media museum, gently explaining to the CyberYouths how like, editing with a keyboard and mouse worked.
You should check out some of the comics they published before Empire! They're collected in an omnibus called "Wild Space". It's an older book, not sure how much it'd cost to buy a copy these days. Worth checking out if you can find it though.
There are some good ideas and some absolutely atrocious ones. However, one thing that is for sure is that Episode VII, Episode VIII, and Episode IX and consequently anything that is connected to them should be completely wiped from canon and they should start again from scratch. This time with a team of filmmakers who are actually competent and, you know, good at creating films and who actually love & care about Star Wars and have a deep understanding & appreciation of the lore. And most importantly, ACTUALLY MAP OUT A COHERENT, COHESIVE PLAN FOR THE STORY THAT IS GOING TO BE TOLD OVER THE COURSE OF EPISODES VII, VIII, AND IX INSTEAD OF FUCKING FLY BY THE SEAT OF THEIR PANTS AND TACKLE EACH FILM WHEN THEY GET TO IT AND CONSEQUENTLY TELL A STORY THAT IS WILDLY INCONSISTENT IN EVERY WAY, ESPECIALLY TONE, CONTRADICTING ITSELF AT EVERY TURN BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO MADE VIII HAD A WILDLY DIFFERENT VISION FOR THE STORY & THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE THAN THE GUY WHO MADE VII DID AND THEN SAID GUY WHO MADE VII CAME BACK FOR IX AND BASICALLY INVALIDATED EVERYTHING VIII DID! VII: Hey here's all the things that matter and are important, the story is going in this direction VIII: Actually, none of those things matter and none of them are even remotely important. THESE things are important and also the story is actually going in this, completely different, direction now. IX: Actually, all those things actually ARE important and actually DO matter and all the things that were undone have now been redone and all those things that were said to be important instead actually don't matter at all and the story is actually going back in the direction it was originally going in now. Audience: Absolutely what the FUCK is even going on here?! Why is this the most schizophrenic film trilogy ever made?! But at least Episode VIII had some very interesting and original ideas and actually tried to expand the universe and do new things that hadn't been done before, instead of VII and IX, which were just boring & safe retreads of the previous films that didn't attempt to do anything new and just followed the same general outline of IV, V, & VI.
If it was something like LOTR I'd understand why people would feel like it was shoe horned. But Star Wars has aliens and is in outer space. I don't get why in the 90/00s black people were allowed in SW but half a decade or so ago a black clone soldier was too much. I don't get it.
@@dstinnettmusic I thought they stopped having clones at the end of the clone wars. Like, all the stormtroopers in the OT are definitely recruits and not clones. And the ST heavily implies that the first order stormtroopers were kidnapped as children.
@@mykaruest6257 Uh, why are black people/non-whites any more out of place in the LotR universe than the Star Wars universe??? What, there's no black people in Middle Earth? Also, Finn is not "a black clone soldier." He is a black Stormtrooper. None of the Stormtroopers are clones. The clones of The Clone Army were phased out of the Galactic Military pretty much immediately after the end of The Clone Wars, the fall of The Republic, and the creation of The Empire. Which is why Finn looks like Finn and not Jango/Boba Fett.
Star Wars is an exercise in realizing that beloved and respected media franchises are all silly to their core and that being silly to their core is no reason for anyone to look down on any form of media just for that alone. Also spinning with your light saber to fly is stupid.
2 different and nuanced videos about Star Wars two days in a row right around when the new movie comes out, now that is impressively praising the algorithm without giving up making content you seem interested in
P.M yeah the best thing is to make content that you know will be a decent hit that you legitimately enjoy making. One of those things that keep youtubers going I’m sure.
Surprised, Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor didn't get a mention. I was shown them as a kid and when I grew up I managed to convince myself that the whole thing was something I must have made up.
I rewatched both in one sitting with some friends only recently, and holey shit is Battle for Endor bad... It has literal magic and a meth addicted rabit, and Wilford Brimley is in it as not Santa.
I think he didn't mention the is cuz they are actually more well known than u might think. They were TV films over here, but were released in theaters overseas, with gorgeous posters worthy of the normal Star Wars movies. And the VHS tapes were well circulated. So I dont think they need to be mentioned here. Quinton probably doesn't consider them "forgotten".
Just want to say that the Star Wars Holiday Special is a family tradition for Christmas for me at this point. Vintage ads and all. Not sure how to feel about that.
I remember that they sent an animation cel from Ewoks out to everyone who joined the Star Wars Fan Club when I was a kid. I know there's one at my mom's house somewhere.
I'm really glad to see someone who has something positive and genuine to say about Star Wars, both the recent and old stuff. It's a nice break from the clickbait "Star Wars is ruined" videos. I've spent decades religiously following the expanded universe and I always loved seeing the older, pre-prequel media reincorporated into the later canon.
Aww man I was looking forward to seeing that clip from battle for Endor where a sorceress uses her magic ring to turn into a raven and fly away. There's definitely enough weird stuff from the early years for a part two to this.
"Don't try to force the Force." "Chilled child". "Hopeless hopes." Jesus wept. I'd be shocked at how terrible this writing is, if Jenny hadn't shown us all yesterday that Alan Dean Foster is a total hack.
@@Zaron_Gaming A media commentary UA-camr called Jenny Nicholson. She makes a lot of videos about Star Wars, and the day before this video went up, she posted a video about Foster's Episode IX pitch. It was baaaad.
Splinter of the Mind's Eye has a second claim to fame in the modern Star Wars canon with Mimban, the mist-shrouded planet the story takes place on. It features prominently in the movie Solo as the world the Imperial ground battle scene takes place, where Han first meets Beckett. Droids is a guilty pleasure of mine. It may be corny as hell and hobbled by executive meddling, but it's got *heart,* y'know?
I'm not even into Star Wars but I'm surprised this video doesn't have more views. Thanks UA-cam for recommending some Quinton Reviews I missed when I first binged his content.
I remember watching the scene with the fairies burning the trees late at night, right before bed, with all the lights off and just listening to the static hiss of my old boxy tv. Ewoks, and Droids, are sadly forgotten shows which truly deserve more recognition. To me they were my first steps into the wider world of Star Wars, and helped sparked my imagination with their wonderful animation. I'm glad to know that these series aren't just left to rot somewhere in the wastebin of media.
Good job on getting both SW videos done Quinton! We're proud of you buddy. These must have taken a ton of work to produce and I for one definitely appreciate it.
Quinton spent two days of his life remastering episodes from some old Star Wars cartoons only for Disney+ to come and release the series on its platform.
Dude that smuggler from the first episode of Droids looks remarkably similar to the Mandalorian's first bounty on that DESERT planet... coincidence, I think not.
No. He's definitely just a different member of a four-armed race who runs a space '50s diner. For some reason. It must have been something George Lucas scribbled down while coming up with Star Wars ideas and used it twice.
There was one year that my dad got us the Ewoks series on DVD when Clone Wars was on a break between seasons, because my brothers and I would just go apeshit without any Star Wars TV show to watch. I cannot emphasize how much I *hated* Ewoks. Not only did it not have Ahsoka in it, it didn't have ANYONE in it. As a very devout tomboy, I was thoroughly offended by being made to watch what was basically just Care Bears calling itself Star Wars. When I was nine I drew Wicket being crucified like Jesus Christ.
I remember getting Ewoks on VHS from the library and watching it about once a year. The clips you showed hit me hard man, I remember all the voices and lines for something I haven't seen in over a decade.
Now that I think about it, they are called the Rebel "Aliance" so maybe there where originally 17 or more small groups of people that hated the Empire and started individual rebelions... You know what? That's my headcanon now, every proto-rebel group that appeared through the old Expanded Universe and the new spin-off eventually came together, sung "cumbaya", wrote an oficial manifiesto while hungover and that's how the Rebel Aliance was born
No headcanon needed, Star Wars Rebels shows that this is pretty much exactly How the Alliance was formed; a bunch of disparate rebel cells coming together to fight the Empire.
I 1000% relate to Ewoks being the perfect show to fall asleep to. In fact when I was a kid and had it on VHS, it would be in the rotation of things I would watch before going to bed.
32:45 - I sold a Ewoks animation cell of just Wicket's hand and spear for like $30 on Ebay like 15 or so years ago. Lucasfilm Fanclub in the 80's used to give out animation cells one of the years that you renewed your fanclub subscription.
OMG I LOVED the Galaxy of Fear series as a kid. I think I still have a bunch of the books in a box somewhere. They weren't super good or anything, but they had some really cool stuff in them.
Just watched Star Wars holiday special like an hour ago with my friend and then this video pops up. Thought that it was pretty funny but then again I am still drunk as hell, lol I am an alcoholic
Good luck. Your health is worth figuring out how to be drunk for funzies rather than out of a need to drown out the day or everything sucking atm or whatever 👍
I genuinely love the Holiday Special. I jokingly put it on for my family to watch one Christmas and I ended up becoming incredibly invested in it, and it reinvigorated some love for Star Wars for me. Now that the Mandalorian seems to be linked to it, I am so excited to watch it now!
Man I remembered Star Wars detours. The footage was on the Star Wars website and I'd like to thank you for reminding me that it used to exist, you've thoroughly ruined my day. Thank you.
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel a few months back. Every single upload has been either a delight, utterly fascinating, or in this case both. I actually only found out about the Droids cartoon this year, so this is just right up my alley
Watching this video around 1 year later and Disney did what he predicted. Droids, Ewoks, The 2D Clone Wars cartoon, the animated segment from the holiday special and I think the live action Ewoks movies are now all on Disney +
Hey Quinton! Just wanted to say... 1. I've been watching your vids for a few months now and LOVE them. I've been getting more addicted as I keep watching and have been watching a BUNCH recently. Keep up the good work. 2. Its awesome that some of your predictions have come true and now Ewoks and Droids are on Disney+ ! 3. Like you said about Ewoks (and also, not a backhanded compliment from me either) your videos are also good media to fall asleep to. Very soothing, even when you escalate the volume it doesn't stop the dreamy feelings that happen when I watch late at night. I often do it, and then rewatch the video the next day to make sure I miss nothing. Love your political work and your lighter works as well. You rock!
I predict Greef Karga's heart will grow three sizes larger and will spare Mando and the Child, may even share a roasted kowakian monkey-lizard with them, because that the real meaning of Life Day
I recently saw clips from _Star Wars Detours_ during a vinescauce stream-someone sent Vinny a screenshot of a stumpy, THICC Vader and a UA-cam link. I oddly have possible repressed memories of commercials for that show, but the run was so short that I hardly committed it to memory.
As bad as the EU could get sometimes, I always thought having continuity for the canon was really cool. It was different, especially for the more kid-friendly things. I can't wait to revisit some of this again.
Okay but can we talk about how crazy it is that both you and Jenny Nicholson have posted videos involving Star Wars media by Alan Dean Foster within two days of one another? We are truly living in a golden age
I swear I had a home video of the Ewok cartoon when I was a kid, it must have been something my mom recorded off the tv then? I had no idea it was Star Wars related, it was just a weird fantasy teddy bear cartoon to me, but I absolutely loved it! I loved the weird creatures in it, they definitely screamed more “weird fantasy” than “science fantasy” and they felt really unique, unlike anything else I’ve seen in fantasy, I loved it.
That Ewok animated cell is sooooo cool! I would love to have something...anything that was actually connected to appearing on a Star Wars media (except Ep 7,8,9). Like Han Solo's blaster would be way way out of the realm of reality. But like something obscure. Maybe the communicator the snout nosed spy hax when he snitched to the Storm Troopers where the Millennium Falcon was in ep 1. What you have is better than a prop. It is like having a part of the film originally shot to capture everything. I would frame that behind some special uv protectant glass and hang it at home.
The Mandalorian has lots of homages to the (let's say) not-so-praised moments of Star Wars history. In the sixth episode a character even makes an impresion of a gungan
Dude, somewhere I have the read along book and tape "Planet of the Hoojibs". Look it up. It's awesome. Carrie Fisher and Anthony Daniels did voices on it.
Lucas mentioned to the knowledge of fans, that he intended there to b 9 films, around '82. . that the 2nd three would take place B4 the 1st 3, /the 3rd set of 3 would happen after... exactly as happened. It was in newspapers.

There are some good ideas and some absolutely atrocious ones.

No. He's definitely just a different member of a four-armed race who runs a space '50s diner. For some reason. It must have been something George Lucas scribbled down while coming up with Star Wars ideas and used it twice.
There was one year that my dad got us the Ewoks series on DVD when Clone Wars was on a break between seasons, because my brothers and I would just go apeshit without any Star Wars TV show to watch.
I cannot emphasize how much I *hated* Ewoks. Not only did it not have Ahsoka in it, it didn't have ANYONE in it. As a very devout tomboy, I was thoroughly offended by being made to watch what was basically just Care Bears calling itself Star Wars. When I was nine I drew Wicket being crucified like Jesus Christ.
Wait, you're *that* person?
Okay you had me at crucified Wicket that's metal as fuck and Ewoks are terrible
Are you ok?
NEVER TRUST IN AN AHSOKA STAN. I REPEAT, NEVER TRUST AN AHSOKA STAN
you did? can i see it (i won't make fun of you for it.)
I remember getting Ewoks on VHS from the library and watching it about once a year. The clips you showed hit me hard man, I remember all the voices and lines for something I haven't seen in over a decade.
Oh my GOD I remember watching that Ewok cartoon with the witch on vhs so much as a kid. The nostalgia hit is amazing, thank you for doing great work!
Now that I think about it, they are called the Rebel "Aliance" so maybe there where originally 17 or more small groups of people that hated the Empire and started individual rebelions... You know what? That's my headcanon now, every proto-rebel group that appeared through the old Expanded Universe and the new spin-off eventually came together, sung "cumbaya", wrote an oficial manifiesto while hungover and that's how the Rebel Aliance was born
Mario Angel Medina seems legit
No headcanon needed, Star Wars Rebels shows that this is pretty much exactly How the Alliance was formed; a bunch of disparate rebel cells coming together to fight the Empire.
@@aj_2765 cool
I 1000% relate to Ewoks being the perfect show to fall asleep to. In fact when I was a kid and had it on VHS, it would be in the rotation of things I would watch before going to bed.

32:45 - I sold a Ewoks animation cell of just Wicket's hand and spear for like $30 on Ebay like 15 or so years ago. Lucasfilm Fanclub in the 80's used to give out animation cells one of the years that you renewed your fanclub subscription.
Uh, Quinton, of course there's magic in the Star Wars Canon. It's called the force.
I'm so happy Quinton was able to get out both of their Star Wars videos on time! Proud of you, Quinton 💖
There was also a Star Wars radio program .John Lithgow played Yoda.
I thought the thumbnail for this video read FORGETTING Star Wars Media and I was very grateful. Nevermind.
Holy shit, I had legitimately convinced myself that Ewoks and Droids were shows that I'd imagined, and had never existed
OMG I LOVED the Galaxy of Fear series as a kid. I think I still have a bunch of the books in a box somewhere. They weren't super good or anything, but they had some really cool stuff in them.
Great video! It's always so nice to see someone get really enthusiastic about some piece of media
Quinton, you made me remember Star Wars Detours and my excitement for it for some reason.
6:49 Luke giving off Shinji Ikari vibes in this scene
Just watched Star Wars holiday special like an hour ago with my friend and then this video pops up. Thought that it was pretty funny but then again I am still drunk as hell, lol I am an alcoholic
Hyppyrotta ok
Good luck. Your health is worth figuring out how to be drunk for funzies rather than out of a need to drown out the day or everything sucking atm or whatever 👍
I genuinely love the Holiday Special. I jokingly put it on for my family to watch one Christmas and I ended up becoming incredibly invested in it, and it reinvigorated some love for Star Wars for me. Now that the Mandalorian seems to be linked to it, I am so excited to watch it now!
26:47 holy crap, that's Paul Dini, the guy who did Animaniacs and Batman The animated Series. He also had a hand in creating Harley Quinn.
Man I remembered Star Wars detours. The footage was on the Star Wars website and I'd like to thank you for reminding me that it used to exist, you've thoroughly ruined my day. Thank you.
Quinton getting excited about an original animation cel from Ewoks is the best Hanukkah present I could have gotten this year :)
I saw the Ewoks show before I saw any of the Star Wars movies. It's spooky and weird, and I love it.
When Vader said to dudes the empire is pretty chill I felt that
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel a few months back. Every single upload has been either a delight, utterly fascinating, or in this case both. I actually only found out about the Droids cartoon this year, so this is just right up my alley
I'm so glad they saved the porg at the end, my breath caught in my throat, I was so worried
SON I HAD THAT WOOKIE CARTOON ON VHS HOLY MOLY I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT IT
Watching this video around 1 year later and Disney did what he predicted. Droids, Ewoks, The 2D Clone Wars cartoon, the animated segment from the holiday special and I think the live action Ewoks movies are now all on Disney +
Hey Quinton! Just wanted to say... 1. I've been watching your vids for a few months now and LOVE them. I've been getting more addicted as I keep watching and have been watching a BUNCH recently. Keep up the good work. 2. Its awesome that some of your predictions have come true and now Ewoks and Droids are on Disney+ ! 3. Like you said about Ewoks (and also, not a backhanded compliment from me either) your videos are also good media to fall asleep to. Very soothing, even when you escalate the volume it doesn't stop the dreamy feelings that happen when I watch late at night. I often do it, and then rewatch the video the next day to make sure I miss nothing. Love your political work and your lighter works as well. You rock!
Of all the fanfics I've written, I feel like I deserve a pullitzer for not describing a character's lips as 'hypnotic redness'
I like that you whisper when you are handling the cell as to not disturb it .
That Luke line around the eight minute mark made me quite literally laugh like Palpatine in real life.
hey quinton, you probably won’t see this, but i just got out of surgery and it made me so happy to see you posted once i got out
Happy life day everyone
Don't you ruin another Lifeday
I was wondered what the new Star Wars Christmas Special would look like.
Then again, baby yoda would probably make the cut.
I predict Greef Karga's heart will grow three sizes larger and will spare Mando and the Child, may even share a roasted kowakian monkey-lizard with them, because that the real meaning of Life Day
Mario Angel Medina of course
26:48, holy shit Paul Dini worked on that show
During this video I kept thinking to myself “Luke would never! Luke would never!”
I recently saw clips from _Star Wars Detours_ during a vinescauce stream-someone sent Vinny a screenshot of a stumpy, THICC Vader and a UA-cam link. I oddly have possible repressed memories of commercials for that show, but the run was so short that I hardly committed it to memory.
The idea of Obi wan as a conman is brilliant
I literally just came back from the mall where I bought an Ewoks show sweat shirt
Also can confirm: I fell asleep to Ewoks a lot growing up
As bad as the EU could get sometimes, I always thought having continuity for the canon was really cool. It was different, especially for the more kid-friendly things. I can't wait to revisit some of this again.
the opening of this video retroactively felt like an analog horror
Okay but can we talk about how crazy it is that both you and Jenny Nicholson have posted videos involving Star Wars media by Alan Dean Foster within two days of one another? We are truly living in a golden age
Watching the ewoks on Disney plus! Whoa man this takes me waaaaaaaaay back
I swear I had a home video of the Ewok cartoon when I was a kid, it must have been something my mom recorded off the tv then? I had no idea it was Star Wars related, it was just a weird fantasy teddy bear cartoon to me, but I absolutely loved it! I loved the weird creatures in it, they definitely screamed more “weird fantasy” than “science fantasy” and they felt really unique, unlike anything else I’ve seen in fantasy, I loved it.
That Ewok animated cell is sooooo cool! I would love to have something...anything that was actually connected to appearing on a Star Wars media (except Ep 7,8,9). Like Han Solo's blaster would be way way out of the realm of reality. But like something obscure. Maybe the communicator the snout nosed spy hax when he snitched to the Storm Troopers where the Millennium Falcon was in ep 1.
What you have is better than a prop. It is like having a part of the film originally shot to capture everything. I would frame that behind some special uv protectant glass and hang it at home.
Good news! Droids and Ewoks are both on Disney+.
I had this playing from another room and I was actively begging you to stop reading the book out loud
Shocked that both Droids and Ewoks are on Disney Plus
If someone told me that The Mandalorian had anything to do with the holiday special I would've been watched it
The Mandalorian has lots of homages to the (let's say) not-so-praised moments of Star Wars history. In the sixth episode a character even makes an impresion of a gungan
Is it weird that the end of this video is now a secret tie in to an episode of media that Quinton made that now doesn't exist? (Hillbillies)
Dude, somewhere I have the read along book and tape "Planet of the Hoojibs". Look it up. It's awesome. Carrie Fisher and Anthony Daniels did voices on it.
I know nothing about star wars and you managed to keep me interested the entire video. Great work as always :) PS, I love your cat!
Lucas mentioned to the knowledge of fans, that he intended there to b 9 films, around '82. . that the 2nd three would take place B4 the 1st 3, /the 3rd set of 3 would happen after... exactly as happened. It was in newspapers.
With all respect to Quinton, I am not listening to what he rambles about, I just enjoy him keeping me company while I procrastinate. Love ya, Quinton
