Attachment A Star Wars video game titled "Star Wars: Ewok Adventure" was in development for the Atari 2600, however, it was canceled.

In the game players had to control an Ewok glider and attack Imperial forces whilst travelling to the shield generator bunker, followed by taking control of an enemy vehicle to destroy the bunker.

Whilst it was never officially released, a prototype of the game was available and has since been released online.

According to Ewok Adventure programmer Larry Gelberg, the game had to be cancelled, despite being completed, due to a dispute with Parker Brothers over the game's controls:

"I had this artistic vision of the purity of the hang-glider controls - forward dives and speeds you up, back climbs and slows you down, and catching thermals every now and then maintained your altitude. The marketing weasels either didn't get it or just didn't like it. They tried time and time again to get me to put in a mode where you just go in the direction where you point the joystick. But I was young and arrogant and refused, and they ultimately killed the game. Sorry, everyone."
