Ewok Adventure is the fifth and last Star Wars game on the Atari 2600, developed in 1983.

According to Larry Gelberg, who programmed the game, the people in marketing weren't fans of the glider controls (either not understanding how it worked or not liking it), repeatedly telling him to put in a simplified version where the glider moved in whichever direction the joystick was pointed. Larry refused (looking back, he admitted he was "young and arrogant" at the time), and the game was cancelled despite being complete.
