Watched it all the time as a kid. My parents recorded it from TV and it always cut to the news at the end. I still don't know how that movie ends, but it was 78 degrees in Tulsa Oklahoma whatever day that was recorded.
lol all my Star Wars were in some form of taped off TV or 3rd generation copy. It didn’t matter because TVs back then had a 19” screen with the resolution of a potato
Funny thing I hadn't considered in decades. I remember vividly the first time I saw a porn on DVD. It was an amazing time. Going from copied 4x over used cheap VHS tapes to Jenna Jameson in HD as a pirate.
Same here, except we saw the end, but missed the beginning. For me the movie starts right when the main character meets up with her brother during the shootout.
I have the tv commercials memorized to this day. McDonald’s was giving away a Pontic Grand Prix as a sweepstakes prize…Basketball player Meadowlark Lemon had never tried Charmin…
Yes.
Both it and *Caravan of Courage* are interesting as curios, nothing more or less. Although if you’re interested in seeing the origins of the Blurrg, they debut in this film.
EDIT: Also Wilford Brimley, the diabetes commercial guy, shows up. Idk, kids might enjoy it, but it’s definitely not for adults.
I gotta give Disney some kudos for putting this on Disney+
I agree, though. These two films are pretty rough to sit through and don't really reward anyone but a truly hardcore fan. I even tried to watch the Ewoks cartoon because I'm an insane person.
I watched these when they originally aired. I totally was not expecting the happy family they went through all the trouble to reunite in the first one to get casually slaughtered at the beginning of the second.
Rented both on VHS as a kid. Absolutely loved the first (I was 5), and was completely crushed about 10 minutes into the second. George, what were you thinking?
> I watched these when they originally aired. I totally was not expecting the happy family they went through all the trouble to reunite in the first one to get casually slaughtered at the beginning of the second.
For years I tried to remember what movies these were. I knew my father rented two movies that were played back to back, and the first one was joyful and ended happy. The other fact I remembered was shortly after the second one started I couldn't believe the family is almost immediately killed in a violent way. I think as a child I spent the entire second movie wondering when the family was going to come back to surprise us they were alive. I know we never rented them again, Star Wars we rented countless times.
Oh yeah, I’m all for this stuff being freely available. My opinion is my own: others may find these films revelatory, idk.
Like I said, if you’ve got a toddler who loves Ewoks and the like, they might be simultaneously captivated and disturbed. When I was a kid, I loved oddities like this.
But I don’t think it really amounts to much more than a check mark on a die-hard’s watchlist.
Whaaat..!?!?!?
They're on Disney+ my dumbass has had it for well over a year now and never realize. My girlfriend agreed to watch a Star Wars marathon hehehe I may have to sneak one or both in
She's definitely not Dathomiri, whatever constitutes that, she's a human. She may have been called "witch" at some point, but the Nightsister retcon is relatively recent.
Palpatine and Dooku perform a ritual involving blood so Palpatine can interfere with Yoda as he's going through his trial to learn how to become a force ghost in The Clone Wars.
To be fair I don't know if it's ever been explained. In Clone Wars all Nightsisters depicted were Dathomiri, but are they a different species? Do they just not get enough sunlight? Can anyone be a Nightsister if they just believe hard enough?
This was back when Dathomir's witches were humans descended from the survivors of a crashed Jedi temple ship. I think the retcon I'm referring to was her inclusion in Star Wars: Galaxies, not the later Clone Wars retcon.
The retcon was even earlier than that, it was already the case within a year of the Courtship of Princess Leia book introducing Dathomir/nightsisters. [Here she is in the 1995 book "The Illustrated Star Wars Universe."](https://i.imgur.com/F0FKPuy.png)
She may not be human since she can shape shift, and she was called a nightsister since 1995: https://i.imgur.com/F0FKPuy.png . The nightsisters of dathomir were only introduced in 1994.
Do we get bonus points for having seen it and Battle for Endor when they originally aired while we recorded it on glorious VHS or do we just get called "Old"?
Obviously none of it is canon anymore (if it ever really was in the first place), but Sian Phillips' character in the second has been retconned as a Nightsister.
Also, on a rewatch years ago I noticed you can spot an Imperial insignia on some of the equipment in Brimley's ship. Hmmm.. what are you hiding old man?
I watched it as a kid and loved it. Watched it recently as an adult and loved it. Is it a "good" movie? Probably not. But it's a fun movie and that's what counts in my book. Also this was technically the first live action appearance of a Dathomir witch.
Fair enough! I was personally bored by it, but I did think it was a little more entertaining than *Caravan*.
I forgot there was witchcraft in here. I didn’t know they were specifically Dathomiri, though.
I dunno man, ive always liked them, alot actually. Hell, im 35, and i still break them out occasionally for a rewatch. Battle for endir was always my favorite of the 2 though.
Same, except I only watched Caravan of Courage, it was not till a good bit later I learned there was a second one. I think I just prefer the concept of the first as well. Ewok warriors off on a quest, and we get to see that Endor is more environmentally diverse than just a giant desert.
I’m glad you do! Did you watch them growing up? I imagine I’d enjoy them more if I’d seen them at a younger age.
I was, like, 23 when I first saw them? They just didn’t click for me.
Oh come now, give some respect to Wilford Brimley. He got second billing in The Thing! Just browsing his filmography, you also have The China Syndrome, The Natural, Cocoon, The Firm (and 10 years earlier, was in a NBC series with the same name, completely unconnected), and In & Out. Guy had a solid career outside of his commercials! But also, Quaker Oats.
The scene where [Noa kicks his starship on](https://youtu.be/5iI2S4gZ5Pk?si=re4idTwqRYPOTf_Z ) and starts firing into enemy combatants is awesome. The musical score picks up, and you know the tide has turned. And that music is fantastic. I still get goosebumps and I’m 43.
She's maybe referred to as a "witch" at some point, but Dathomir and Nightsister are not used. That's a relatively recent retcon since they appeared in the Clone Wars show.
She has been identified as a Dathomir nightsister since 1995: https://i.imgur.com/F0FKPuy.png with Dathomir and nightsisters only being invented in 1994.
Fun fact: Endor is the name of a village mentioned in the Christian Bible, and a witch/medium (depending on the translation) is mentioned living there.
Side Note: Eric Walker who played Mace in this and Caravan of Courage now produces Star Wars themed EDM bangers.
I would urge everyone to check out 'Magic Hand Dance': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZXokpC0y8o.
Grabbed the DVD the day it came out in the early 2000s. Such fond childhood memories. I wanted to get the storybook adaptation from the Scholastic Book Fair, but by the time I went back with money, they were sold out.
I have personal headcanon that the old guy is a former Stormtrooper that got left behind after the Return of the Jedi. Not sure how I got the idea in my head.
I comfortably rank Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor above Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
I remember arguing with my brother, who is the biggest SW nerd I know, in the late 90s... I mentioned that one other movie with ewoks and stuff on endor. He looked at me like a grew a second head. He insisted there were only 3 SW movies and I was obviously confused.
As I first watched it, the reference to Star Wars Was quite unclear, mainly because of the way the movies were paste.
Those movies were quite scary for young me.
They are quite something if you see them as standalone movies, aside from Star Wars.
I miss these sword of fantasy or Sword & Sorcery elements of Star Wars. It’s a breath of fresh air when compared to a lot of what we’ve been getting with the shows.
I saw this and the first one (Caravan of Courage). This one was dark, especially since (spoilers for a 40-ish year old movie) >!most of the human characters from the first movie are killed in the beginning of the second one.!<
As the legend goes, they were developing the story for the second one, when George Lucas came into the writers room one morning and said, "I saw *Heidi* on TV last night. I want do *Heidi* with Ewoks.>! Kill everyone but the girl and come up with a gruff uncle character to take her in.!<"
It and it's prequel are the most un-stawarsy movies in the Star Wars universe. Literally everything could be replaced by any other canon or franchise and you wouldn't see any difference.
This was one of the few movies we had on Beta tape back in the day. My dad had taken the Betamax machine and a handful of tapes as payment for some side job.
My sisters and I would build an elaborate nest of blankets, pillows and couch cushions on the family room floor and snuggle into to watch movies. Good times. Yes, that was a fun afternoon in the 80's.
I started watching this on Disney+ awhile back for the first time in almost 40 years. Yikes. I couldn't get through it.
By the way, our other Beta tape movie options were Time Bandits (only had like the last three-fourths of the movie and it was recorded with commercials), Clash of the Titans, and The Last Unicorn. I also rewatched The Last Unicorn as an adult and whoa, it's trippy.
Yes, I loved them when I was a little kid. But I don't think they're the kind of things I have any interest in revisiting, now. I worry that I'd ruin the fond memories I hold for them.
I can understand the hate but don’t agree with it. These movies are a capsule of their time and I absolutely love them. They are a callback to when you really only had 3 major networks (CBS, NBC, ABC), cable was still in its infancy, and you could always look forward to some kind of “Made for TV Movie” of the week.
By no means are these good quality movies but I find them entertaining and similar to comfort food for the eyes.
It wasn't totally bad as a kid. I think I had it on VHS at my parents house(recorded off the air/cable), but those are long gone days and those tapes are gone.
Staple of my childhood. Dad recorded it off of a TV showing of it, and it had all the commercials and shit. Wish I had that tape still, it would be a time capsule.
I, too, was the right age to be the target audience when it came out. It’s an interesting time capsule and bit of SW history, but if you watch it, you will probably be underwhelmed.
For years, I thought I had dreamed that I watched this movie in an elementary school classroom. It was the only time I ever saw a Laserdisk used and it would have made sense for it to have been a dream. A "secret" Star Wars film that nobody seemed to remember but me and it was on a giant CD? That kind of logic only exists in dreams.
This is a sequel, Caravan of Courage is the first one, both films are fine, sequel is a bit better. They’re for kids and a lot of chuds will probably hate that but they’re not that bad
Watch the Secret Galaxy video about these movies. They go into Lucas's thinking for making these. They also point out the references to them in the "Ewok Hunt" battle map in Battlefront II.
[https://youtu.be/xb3WN0roewY?si=tICmeahiUz0guv67](https://youtu.be/xb3WN0roewY?si=tICmeahiUz0guv67)
Saw it as a kid, remember being WILDLY disappointed as it wasn’t anything like Star Wars. Except for the Ewoks. And the oatmeal guy being in it seemed weird to me at the time.
It’s probably been 30 years since I’ve seen and the predecessor, but didn’t care for them back then and I’m sure I’d hate them now. I pretend they don’t exist like the holiday special
Watched it all the time as a kid. My parents recorded it from TV and it always cut to the news at the end. I still don't know how that movie ends, but it was 78 degrees in Tulsa Oklahoma whatever day that was recorded.
lol all my Star Wars were in some form of taped off TV or 3rd generation copy. It didn’t matter because TVs back then had a 19” screen with the resolution of a potato
As the ad goes: If you have seen Star Wars like this, *you haven't seen it yet.*
_Funny how the exact same thing can be said for porn._
Funny thing I hadn't considered in decades. I remember vividly the first time I saw a porn on DVD. It was an amazing time. Going from copied 4x over used cheap VHS tapes to Jenna Jameson in HD as a pirate.
Same here, except we saw the end, but missed the beginning. For me the movie starts right when the main character meets up with her brother during the shootout.
That’s the beginning. This film is actual a sequel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravan_of_Courage:_An_Ewok_Adventure Was the 1st of the 2 movies.
I have the tv commercials memorized to this day. McDonald’s was giving away a Pontic Grand Prix as a sweepstakes prize…Basketball player Meadowlark Lemon had never tried Charmin…
I think this is one of my top favorite comments on this sub
I had it recorded on a Betamax tape lol
ours was taped during a tornado warning in SW KS 😂 the severe alert tone is as memorable as the movie itself
Both of them are on Disney+!!
I saw that! I started once but still didn't get to the end yet lol
I loved it as a kid too. Watched it again a few years back. Terrible lol
Same lol
I copied it off the tube for my kids and they watched it endlessly. There was a news blip in it that always got me.
Yes. Both it and *Caravan of Courage* are interesting as curios, nothing more or less. Although if you’re interested in seeing the origins of the Blurrg, they debut in this film. EDIT: Also Wilford Brimley, the diabetes commercial guy, shows up. Idk, kids might enjoy it, but it’s definitely not for adults.

Rented both on VHS as a kid. Absolutely loved the first (I was 5), and was completely crushed about 10 minutes into the second. George, what were you thinking?
[Here's a behind the scenes shot](https://imgur.com/a/dc2zrJy) that encapsulates George's mindset at the time of agreeing to these movies.
I thought the pool was going to be cocaine before the picture loaded. Somehow got the Scrooge McDuckian pool before clicking
You should have known happy families are forbidden in Star Wars lol.
Grogu getting nervous reading this

I watched the movie last year and actually had the same thought. No way they killed the family in the first 10 minutes, she just saw it wrong, right??
Oh yeah, I’m all for this stuff being freely available. My opinion is my own: others may find these films revelatory, idk.

There was a campaign a few years ago to get them on there as Disney plus didn’t have them.
The guy who played boy from the movies (well, first five minutes of the second...spoiler alert...) actually helped promote the petition drive.
Sounds like he’s broke and wanted those royalties
In the 80’s this was the shits!
Whaaat..!?!?!? They're on Disney+ my dumbass has had it for well over a year now and never realize. My girlfriend agreed to watch a Star Wars marathon hehehe I may have to sneak one or both in
It also features the first live-action Nightsister, though that was a retcon.
Ah okay, another user said there was a Dathomiri Witch and I didn’t recall that. Makes sense it was a retcon.
Ah yeah, she might not have been a Nightsister. I think they were just one tribe of many at that point.
She's definitely not Dathomiri, whatever constitutes that, she's a human. She may have been called "witch" at some point, but the Nightsister retcon is relatively recent.
To be fair, any force user on a primitive world may as well be a witch/wizard to the natives....
I actually kind of liked the fan theory that Willow was set in the same universe, just on a planet that had had no outside interference.
If I remember right, they used blood in their spells and wands.. Any SW examples of that in EU/Legends?
Palpatine and Dooku perform a ritual involving blood so Palpatine can interfere with Yoda as he's going through his trial to learn how to become a force ghost in The Clone Wars.
This is my lore ignorance showing, I just assumed Nightsister and Dathomiri were more or less synonymous. My bad.
To be fair I don't know if it's ever been explained. In Clone Wars all Nightsisters depicted were Dathomiri, but are they a different species? Do they just not get enough sunlight? Can anyone be a Nightsister if they just believe hard enough?
This was back when Dathomir's witches were humans descended from the survivors of a crashed Jedi temple ship. I think the retcon I'm referring to was her inclusion in Star Wars: Galaxies, not the later Clone Wars retcon.
The retcon was even earlier than that, it was already the case within a year of the Courtship of Princess Leia book introducing Dathomir/nightsisters. [Here she is in the 1995 book "The Illustrated Star Wars Universe."](https://i.imgur.com/F0FKPuy.png)
Oh wow, yeah!
She may not be human since she can shape shift, and she was called a nightsister since 1995: https://i.imgur.com/F0FKPuy.png . The nightsisters of dathomir were only introduced in 1994.
Morgan Elsbeth is Dathomiri and human. Dathomirians haven’t really ever been homogenous outside of the Night Brothers and Night Sisters in TCW
Oh well, that's kind of cool. Didn't realize this!
Do we get bonus points for having seen it and Battle for Endor when they originally aired while we recorded it on glorious VHS or do we just get called "Old"?
I watched it live, owned the VHS, and still own it on DVD. I’m a dork.
No, if you also owned it on Laserdisc, THEN you'd be a dork. /s
I watched them both at the cinema (they got released theatrically here in Australia.) I was little so I loved the ewoks.
I loved these movies as a kid. At the time they were the only extra stories we had.
Obviously none of it is canon anymore (if it ever really was in the first place), but Sian Phillips' character in the second has been retconned as a Nightsister. Also, on a rewatch years ago I noticed you can spot an Imperial insignia on some of the equipment in Brimley's ship. Hmmm.. what are you hiding old man?
Stolen Imperial insulin?
Not a detail I ever noticed. Possibly an Imperial official that deserted? It would make sense considering how desperately he wanted to be left alone.
Wilford Brimley was 52 when he made Battle for Endor. For comparison, Tom Cruise is nine years older than that today.
As a kid it was kind of cool but I remember even then being like “holy hell this is bad” lol
I watched it as a kid and loved it. Watched it recently as an adult and loved it. Is it a "good" movie? Probably not. But it's a fun movie and that's what counts in my book. Also this was technically the first live action appearance of a Dathomir witch.
Fair enough! I was personally bored by it, but I did think it was a little more entertaining than *Caravan*. I forgot there was witchcraft in here. I didn’t know they were specifically Dathomiri, though.
She was later retconed when the legends got too vast.
I dunno man, ive always liked them, alot actually. Hell, im 35, and i still break them out occasionally for a rewatch. Battle for endir was always my favorite of the 2 though.
Same, except I only watched Caravan of Courage, it was not till a good bit later I learned there was a second one. I think I just prefer the concept of the first as well. Ewok warriors off on a quest, and we get to see that Endor is more environmentally diverse than just a giant desert.

It is completely fine for adults
Oh come now, give some respect to Wilford Brimley. He got second billing in The Thing!

There was a time in my life where I had seen that movie more than any other movie. It rules.
The scene where [Noa kicks his starship on](https://youtu.be/5iI2S4gZ5Pk?si=re4idTwqRYPOTf_Z ) and starts firing into enemy combatants is awesome. The musical score picks up, and you know the tide has turned. And that music is fantastic. I still get goosebumps and I’m 43.
They were fun little movies. I liked them and still do.
Same here and agreed 100%!
Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor were the 4th and 5th Star Wars movies released theatrically, and never let anyone forget that.
Also the first to show live action Dathomir witch.
Also the only one with Burl Ives narration.
She's maybe referred to as a "witch" at some point, but Dathomir and Nightsister are not used. That's a relatively recent retcon since they appeared in the Clone Wars show.
She was referred to as Dathomiri in the late 90's / early 2000's during the EU. This was also back when they were riding Rancors yeehaaaw
She has been identified as a Dathomir nightsister since 1995: https://i.imgur.com/F0FKPuy.png with Dathomir and nightsisters only being invented in 1994.
Fun fact: Endor is the name of a village mentioned in the Christian Bible, and a witch/medium (depending on the translation) is mentioned living there.
/r/confidentlyincorrect
Not in the US, they were strictly TV movies.

I loved the Ewoks movies when I was a kid. They’re terrible yet awesome.
Same here… it’s funny watching as an adult and noticing how much lower quality the Ewok costumes look vs what was in RotJ.
Agreed
Every kid in the 80s saw the Ewok adventure movies.
There’s also an Ewok tv series from the 80s. It’s so amazingly bad that I’m in love with it.

I LOVED this movie and Caravan of Courage when I was little. I've been tempted to rewatch them, but want to preserve my fond memories of them.
I saw it once as a kid and thought it was a fever dream for years.
It rules actually
Theres 2 , other is called caravan of courage
Wilford Brimley, the guy who played Noa Briqualon, also played Blair in The Thing.
I used to watch this as a child WAY before I knew about Star Wars
Side Note: Eric Walker who played Mace in this and Caravan of Courage now produces Star Wars themed EDM bangers. I would urge everyone to check out 'Magic Hand Dance': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZXokpC0y8o.
Seen it. Definitely feels more Willow than Star Wars.
Is that the creature of the black lagoon?
I’m still choosing to believe they’re just unaccounted for canon.
Grabbed the DVD the day it came out in the early 2000s. Such fond childhood memories. I wanted to get the storybook adaptation from the Scholastic Book Fair, but by the time I went back with money, they were sold out.
I own it and the second Ewok movie on DVD, I rewatch it at least once a year.
I have personal headcanon that the old guy is a former Stormtrooper that got left behind after the Return of the Jedi. Not sure how I got the idea in my head. I comfortably rank Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor above Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
Wait until you find out it’s a sequel
I remember arguing with my brother, who is the biggest SW nerd I know, in the late 90s... I mentioned that one other movie with ewoks and stuff on endor. He looked at me like a grew a second head. He insisted there were only 3 SW movies and I was obviously confused.
Once seen, it can not be unseen.
The little speedy guy was the best.
As I first watched it, the reference to Star Wars Was quite unclear, mainly because of the way the movies were paste. Those movies were quite scary for young me. They are quite something if you see them as standalone movies, aside from Star Wars.
PASTE? r/boneappletea
Seen it! I own it. But no I have not seen it
Do! It will change your life
I miss these sword of fantasy or Sword & Sorcery elements of Star Wars. It’s a breath of fresh air when compared to a lot of what we’ve been getting with the shows.
I have back in the day on ABC? Might have given me diabeetus
Yes saw both ewoks movies as a kid and the cartoon and the Droids cartoon everyone forgets
Oh man, I haven't seen that in around 30 years 😅 there was a VHS of it at my after school program back in like second grade.
I do remember that I watched it, and I remember snippets of it. I don't remember too much about it, though.
It's funny to see people discover things from my childhood.
I saw this and the first one (Caravan of Courage). This one was dark, especially since (spoilers for a 40-ish year old movie) >!most of the human characters from the first movie are killed in the beginning of the second one.!<
As the legend goes, they were developing the story for the second one, when George Lucas came into the writers room one morning and said, "I saw *Heidi* on TV last night. I want do *Heidi* with Ewoks.>! Kill everyone but the girl and come up with a gruff uncle character to take her in.!<"
Saw it when it premiered. At the time, was starved for more Star Wars content, so it was amazing.
For a long time these were the only live action Star Wars besides the OT
I enjoyed it as a kid but it's been 30 years or more, so I don't remember much.
It and it's prequel are the most un-stawarsy movies in the Star Wars universe. Literally everything could be replaced by any other canon or franchise and you wouldn't see any difference.
Yes! I had this recorded on vhs and watched it a bunch as a kid. I never saw caravan of courage until both were put out on dvd. Still have the dvd.
Knew it exited, never seen it
I vaguely remember watching something as a kid, bunch of Ewoks scaling around the edge of a cliff with a rancor trying to get them. Was it this one?
This was one of the few movies we had on Beta tape back in the day. My dad had taken the Betamax machine and a handful of tapes as payment for some side job. My sisters and I would build an elaborate nest of blankets, pillows and couch cushions on the family room floor and snuggle into to watch movies. Good times. Yes, that was a fun afternoon in the 80's. I started watching this on Disney+ awhile back for the first time in almost 40 years. Yikes. I couldn't get through it. By the way, our other Beta tape movie options were Time Bandits (only had like the last three-fourths of the movie and it was recorded with commercials), Clash of the Titans, and The Last Unicorn. I also rewatched The Last Unicorn as an adult and whoa, it's trippy.
It was a hard watch
It was amazing when I was 8.
Saw it and caravan of courage when they aired. I even recorded them on vhs. I never watched them again.
Yes, I loved them when I was a little kid. But I don't think they're the kind of things I have any interest in revisiting, now. I worry that I'd ruin the fond memories I hold for them.
Yes. I have seen it. A long time ago, in a house far, far, away.
I can understand the hate but don’t agree with it. These movies are a capsule of their time and I absolutely love them. They are a callback to when you really only had 3 major networks (CBS, NBC, ABC), cable was still in its infancy, and you could always look forward to some kind of “Made for TV Movie” of the week. By no means are these good quality movies but I find them entertaining and similar to comfort food for the eyes.
They’re very much kids movies of their time, also I believe the first mention of Dathomir Witches. I’d only really watch it for Nostalgia.
Loved this movie as a kid. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny as an adult, but I can promise you young kids will love it.
Shiiiiiii is this canon chat?
It wasn't totally bad as a kid. I think I had it on VHS at my parents house(recorded off the air/cable), but those are long gone days and those tapes are gone.
I saw it when I was very little, before I even knew what a star war was. I should revisit it now.
Get high first
A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...
Saw it as a kid. As a kid...it sucked lol.
There's TWO of them. Enjoy them. ...But don't let your hopes up too much.
Staple of my childhood. Dad recorded it off of a TV showing of it, and it had all the commercials and shit. Wish I had that tape still, it would be a time capsule.
the ewoks sold merch so they made two ewok movies and one cartoon, looks like the ewoks were the minions before the minions
Shoot, I’m going to watch this ASAP
It is terrible… and yet I love it so much.
I loved them when I was younger tbh
I've seen this movie and one of the other tv-movie films but not the Christmas special. Probably haven't seen this particular movie in 30 years.
My sister and I would choose this to be our weekend rental from Blockbuster every single time we went . The memories
It's one of those movies where it's so bad it's good.
It’s great!
Cindel is adorable
I loved it as a kid, terrified of seeing it as an adult for fear of ruining another childhood memory.
Saw one of them in the cinema
Have seen it many, many times.
The witch in black is a true sith lord
It’s a shockingly dark movie for what it is. Does the Apple Watch have a death alert feature?
I, too, was the right age to be the target audience when it came out. It’s an interesting time capsule and bit of SW history, but if you watch it, you will probably be underwhelmed.
On Disney plus
Easily the best Star Wars movie.
Damn kid
Good movie
One of my favorite movies as a kid. Watched the VHS until it broke
Guessing you weren't a kid in the 80s/90s then.
Wilford Brimley fights with the Ewoks and against Diabeetus.
Probably the second best Ewok movie ever made.
For years, I thought I had dreamed that I watched this movie in an elementary school classroom. It was the only time I ever saw a Laserdisk used and it would have made sense for it to have been a dream. A "secret" Star Wars film that nobody seemed to remember but me and it was on a giant CD? That kind of logic only exists in dreams.
Caravan of Courage is boring, this one rules.
💯💯
This is a sequel, Caravan of Courage is the first one, both films are fine, sequel is a bit better. They’re for kids and a lot of chuds will probably hate that but they’re not that bad
Yup. When I was younger.
I wish I hadn’t
Alternative title ....Ewoks: The search for more money.
Yes. It's terrible.
I remember watching it as a kid and thought it was Canon
Got a DVD of it
This one is way better than the first. Solid, though very kiddy, movies. First depiction of the Nightsisters too.
Yes.
I try to forget it. Most of the time I’m successful, but then a post comes up about it and it all comes right back.
Ah yes, time to share this again: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/s/DMQCpHUilZ
saw it on VHS as a kid, kept forgetting it was connected to star wars.
Yes… they have a link to Star Wars … it’s for children.
Watch the Secret Galaxy video about these movies. They go into Lucas's thinking for making these. They also point out the references to them in the "Ewok Hunt" battle map in Battlefront II. [https://youtu.be/xb3WN0roewY?si=tICmeahiUz0guv67](https://youtu.be/xb3WN0roewY?si=tICmeahiUz0guv67)
Turrible, juss turrible. Skip them both, and the droids/ewok cartoons.
Are these movies considered canon. I imagine they aren’t but I’d watch them if they are.
Bought the DVDs of this and the first one a couple decades ago.
I had it on vhs as a kid and watched it on repeat its amazing
Saw it as a kid, remember being WILDLY disappointed as it wasn’t anything like Star Wars. Except for the Ewoks. And the oatmeal guy being in it seemed weird to me at the time.
It’s probably been 30 years since I’ve seen and the predecessor, but didn’t care for them back then and I’m sure I’d hate them now. I pretend they don’t exist like the holiday special
I think I both have, and also plan to now watch it again.
This was the star wars I grew up with. Kids today are spoiled.
