2004 saw the DVD release of eight episodes of the Droids animated series. Converted into two feature-length presentations, each center on a common storyline and lack the original broadcast titles and music.
The Pirates and the Prince contain episodes 5-8 of the Mon Julpa storyline: The Lost Prince, The New King, The Pirates of Tarnoonga, and The Revenge of Kybo Ren. Treasure of the Hidden Planet entails the Adventures of Mungo Baobab storyline, including episodes 10-13: The Tail of the Roon Comet, The Roon Games, Across the Roon Sea, and The Frozen Citadel.
Another DVD should have been forthcoming containing the Trigon One storyline (episodes 1-4) and the feature-length The Great Heep, however whether due to poor sales or negative fan reception (by fans wanted and expected a full-season box set) this never materialized. Rick McCallum has stated that following the release of ROTS, we should expect full season box sets of Droids and Ewoks, though so far, as of the 31th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope, nothing has yet surfaced |
