8. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – Ewok Adventure

This game was in development back in the 80’s, when the Atari 2600 console was a cool thing and video games where in their infancy. Ewok Adventure was meant to be one of two games based on The Return of the Jedi movie. In this one, the player controlled an Ewok on a hang glider whose task was to blow up an Imperial shield generator. It was also possible to control vehicles like speeder bikes and AT-ATs too (if you cannot imagine an Ewok riding a hang glider, try to imagine him on a speeder).

The game, though, was unable to cause a disturbance in the Force as it was canned by would be publisher Parker Brothers. The reason was a disagreement with the game’s designer over the controls – they thought these would be too complicated for players at the time (so imagine them wrestling with modern video game controllers then…). Ewok Adventure was consigned to the dustbin of history then, but players can still take a look at the cancelled Star Wars game in the video below.
