Paploo vs Logray vs Teebo!!

The first episode of the Star Wars inspired cartoon Ewoks premiered on September 7, 1985. The series, along with the similarly Star Wars inspired Droids, was one of the most expensively produced cartoons in the 1980's. The events of the series took place before their introduction in Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi. While the main character Wicket was played by Warwick Davis in ROTJ, he was voiced by Jim Henshaw (and Denny Delk in the second season) in the cartoon. The first episode featured the Tulga Witch Morga (Jackie Burroughs) plans to burn down the forest on the Endor moon. The episode featured other RTOJ characters Chief Chirpa (movie Jane Busby/ cartoon George Buza/Rick Cimino), Teebo (movie Jack Purvis/ cartoon Eric Peterson/James Cranna) and Logray (movie Mike Edmonds /cartoon Douglas Chamberlain). The series introduced new characters such as Aunt Bozzie (Pam Hyatt), Deej (Richard Donat), Dulok Shaman (Don Francks), Hoom (John Stocker), King Gorneesh (Dan Hennessey), Kneesa (Cree Summer/Jeanne Reynolds), Latara (Taborah Johnson/Sue Murphy), Malani (Alyson Court), Paploo (Paul Chato), Punt (Rob Cowan), Shodu (Esther Scott), Urgah (Melleny Melody), Weechee (Greg Swanson), Willy (John Stocker), and Winda (Leanne Coppen).
