"The Starman," an episode of the Ewoks animated series, was never aired. The plot centered around an Imperial aviator whose spacecraft malfunctions, forcing him to make an emergency landing on Endor. The Ewoks extend their assistance to the stranded aviator, but their newfound alliance faces a threat when they come under attack, presenting the pilot with a difficult choice: stand with the Ewoks or abandon them. ABC ultimately chose not to produce the episode, deeming the concept to be overly reminiscent of the broader Star Wars universe.
