Star Wars Animated: Droids - not even the full series?

Yep. Would've been a purchase for me otherwise. Shame of it is, it would've been easy and relatively cheap to put them all on a little two-disc set. (wasn't there only 14 eps total - plus the junk heap special?)
All well, more money to spend on Seinfeld and Spidey 2...

Yeah, 13 half hour episodes and the 1 hour "The Great Heep" episode, according to TVtome. They released a few episodes "as aired" of both Droids and Ewoks on VHS a long time ago in standard cardboard VHS sleeves. Later on, they took episodes from the entire series and edited them into two 90 minute "movies" for each series, Droids and Ewoks. They released these on 2 separate clamshell case VHS tapes for each series. The DVDs basically have one of these tapes on each side of the DVD. When editing them into these movies, the theme songs from each show were lost as well.
Here's a cool site about both Droids and Ewoks:

The above site says that the Droids episode The Great Heep takes place after the first 9 episodes and not where it aired, after all 13 other episodes. Anyone know any more info about this?

Yeah, I thought this was a strange decision. Very VHS-like.
These shows (Droids/Ewoks) deserve complete season editions. It wouldn't require many discs and wouldn't radically increase costs. That would be a no-brainer purchase for many more people.
