The ewok special was about as silly as it could possibly be. Spoilers alert here, but hopefully you'll never be subjected to viewing it.

People wanted to know more about ewoks, so Lucas made a special movie and somewhere along the lines it got so royally fucked up in the name of "family viewing" that it would have been comical if it hadn't been so sad.

Plot: A pair of cheesy-ass parents and their cheesy-ass kids (one girl, one boy, but of course) crash land on the ewok moon and amazingly nobody is hurt. They run into a bunch of cute teddy bears and, well, that was about it as far as the plot is concerned.
