If so, I hope Tony would have limited the Emperor to a brief glimpse of Palpatine in some holo-message to an Imperial officer or ISB official.

Next month Lego is releasing a Gingerbread AT AT
Saw this posted on reddit, a website that tracks the canon screen time, including video game cutscenes, of a ton of named characters.
Both series premiered 40 years ago today!
For some reason as a kid I watched the Ewoks cartoon but not Droids. Not sure why.
I also have vague memories of the Ewoks cartoon but not Droids. And by "vague memories" I am referring to the theme song.
Ewoks was merchandised better. More Kenner action figures and even a plush Princess Kneesaa toy.
I don't remember the Ewoks show but I do remember Droids, didn't much care for it
Some of the characters and concepts created for both shows would show up later in both Legends and the current Canon. Same with the live action Ewoks stuff.
For example, an episode of The Droids cartoon had a planet named Boonta where the Boonta Speeder Race happened. Probably inspired the Boonta Eve Classic podrace in TPM, or at the very least the name of the race.
In the Legends expanded lore created after the prequels, the Boonta Speeder Race was an alternative to the Boonta Eve Race that Humans could race in. As mentioned in TPM, Humans normally couldn't compete in the Boonta Eve, Anakin could do it because he was subconsciously using the force to help.
So far the Boonta Speeder Race has not been mentioned in the current canon, but the planet has.

I didn't even really care when I was 10 and 11. I grew to like them better as an adult.
I was still into Muppet Babies on CBS. The two SW cartoons aired on ABC and were probably on at the same time or close to it.
Not only do I remember Ewoks, I can say with a degree of certainty that the show was my introduction to Star Wars. I know I saw the films out of order and not in completion (Return of the Jedi, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, I think that was the order). I think I enjoyed Ewoks because of my love for The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin.
But somehow I didn't know about Droids until many, many years later.
