They made 14 or 15 episodes of this series, this DVD concentrates on 2 story lines from the middle on the series both were originally 4 episodes each - so this is about half of the series. Unfortunately I do not think the rest have been released on DVD! Great taster - wish it was complete though... Also its great to see some parts of these story lines tie in with parts of the prequel trilogy (characters and events may be in the episodes not contained in this DVD). All in all - great addition to any star wars fans collection, major down point is the missing episodes!
dated and stiltedby modern standards but interesting

Set 15 years before the C3PO and R2D2 meet Luke Skywalker (this places it between episodes 3 and 4), this double feature is two stories made up by amalgamating episodes from an animated series from the mid 1980s. The first story "The Pirates and the Prince" follows the droids and their master Jann Tosh (an animated Luke-type character) as they accidentally rescue a Prince, restore him to power, and then help him defend his planet against the pirate Kybo Ren. This is followed by "Treasure of the Hidden Planet", placing Threepio and Artoo against the Empire as they try to help new master Mungo Baobab (a animated Han Solo-type character) find the precious Roon Stones before the Empire. In both adventures the droids take their usual roles, with C3PO (voiced by Anthony Daniels) as the clumsy cowardly clown, while R2D2's resourcefulness helps save the day. The animation does look dated by today's standards, but that shouldn't stop the enjoyment. The second story is better than the first (probably because it returns to familiar Empire-hating territory), and though kids will prefer it to adults, it's worth a look for the die-hard-Star Wars fans.Read full review
I have always liked Star Wars and I decided to Buy this DVD. Origanaly it was aired in 1985 and was split into 4 half an hour episodes. But now in the DvD it is a 4 hours of Action-Packed cartoons! There are two Main storie lines. The first is Called "The Pirates and The Prince". As always C-3PO AND R2-D2 have gotten into trouble and decide to put themselves up for auction, but only to be bough by an evil Buisness man called Kleb Zellok. But they are saved by a Teen ager called Jann Tosh (He actully looks like Anakin of EpIII). After defeating Kleb, the wind up saving a Prince and have to get him back home to Tazuman and fight pirates and warlords on the Way! But the next is better! It is about a trader called Mungo Baobab who is in search of Roon Stones with R2 and 3PO. But he's got compatison! There is yet another Pirate/Buisness man called Governor Koong, But wait this is the good part, the Empire is also in it and there is an Imperial Officer Called Admiral Screed! I have always Loved all the Officers of the Empire, and Screed is one of the best with his robotic eye and stiff upper lip! (From my personal opinian though, he's got a long way to go to reach the standard of General Veers!) Mungo and the Droids also meet the Beutiful Auren Yomm and explore the mysteries of the Hidden Planed! This is truly a great piece of 80's Cartoon and is for people of all ages! Hope you see it Soon!Read full review
