Nelvana

Nelvana is a Canadian animation company that produced the animated segment for The Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978, and produced the Droids and Ewoks animated series from 1985 to 1987. Steve Chadwick worked as production assistant for these two series.

Nelvana is also known for the feature-length animated film Rock & Rule, which was referenced in an image in the RPG article "Star Wars Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO" from Polyhedron 170. Another Nelvana series, Inspector Gadget (co-produced with DiC Entertainment), used some of Ben Burtt's Star Wars sound effects in the first season.

The planet of Nelvaan was named for the company.

Darth Vader's TIE Advanced, an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, and the Millennium Falcon make cameos in the 1979 Nelvanamation special Romie-0 and Julie-8.
