- "It was better animated than most of the stuff on the air at the time."
- ―Paul Dini, Ewoks and Droids writer
The Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour was an ABC television programming block that aired from 1985 to 1986. It ran episodes of the Droids and Ewoks animated television series.
In Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire, pressing Alt-V and then typing "ovres" will turn on theatre mode, where R2-D2, Darth Vader and C-3PO watch the cutscenes and comment MST3K-style. At one point, they imitate Rookie One, saying, "Let's see what's on the telly. It's the Ewoks/Droids cartoon hour! I loved that show! Especially that episode where R2 joined that cult.... and began talking like a hippie..." The code "ovres" is "servo" backwards, which is probably a reference to MST3K's character Tom Servo.
