That's definitely the one to go with!

When Ewok Adventure (and later, Battle For Endor) aired it was the first time I had ever heard a show in stereo at home, because it was simulcast on FM radio and I was able to listen to it through the stereo console in my room. I was sooooo blown away by that. My father was like , “someday all shows will be in stereo”. That seemed so futuristic to me.

And now we live in Dolby Surround or could tell Alexa to play the whole house. I Remember trying to record VHS movies with my Tape recorder to create that effect. How many times my little sister would interrupt and ruin my taping sessions I can’t count.

I was a Kid when those movies aired. AND I LOVE THEM! In my opinion it has way more Star Wars in it, than the new corporate Disney Star Wars Movie. It channels perfectly the 80s charme of a fantasy / Sci Fi adventure with the spirit "it doesnt matter how big or strong you are, it matters how biog your heart is and friendship and love can overcome anything". I really like that message! Of course, it is not a big epic Star Wars movies and it doesn't has the quality of those iconic films, but there is still the message, dedication and it has those influences of myth and story from any culture in it. Sure, not a s clever as Star Wars, but it's an 80s TV (B-Movie-ish) Movie and I think its a perfect representation of those days. And it has some memorable scenes that I still remember (like the death of the main villian in part two). I rewatched those movies 5-6 years ago with my girlfriend, and DAMN the beginning of "Battle for Endor" has one of the darkest beginnings ever!! 😄Damn, we were shocked.. It doesnt had that impact when I was a kid, but now as a parent.. that was tough to watch!😃Long story short: In those days Star Wars Media was very unique and I really loved the Ewok Stuff (even the cartoon series with those ultra catchy theme song) and those movie were a big adventure for me. Watching them now, I really appreciate the heart and failures of that 80s movies. I love bad stuck motion and bad puppets more than bad cgi stuff. And I love the landscape drawings and the real locations. Its a small little Ewok Story of friendship and adventure. I dig that 🙂...And I watched it in the theater, but we had to leave early, because the spider scared the sh*t out of me, so we had to leave the cinema😅 ps. Thank you for this video and your research. You did a fantastic job!

We recorded these on VHS and watched them 100s of times when I was a kid. This was nostalgic.

It’s crazy to think that when Battle For Endor was made Wilford Brimley was ten years younger than Tom Cruise is right now.

I was born in 1979 and grew up with the Star Wars trilogy on VHS at home. I vividly remember watching both of these Ewok movies as a kid on TV. Where they as good as Star Wars? LOL! No. Not at all. But for the time, they honestly weren’t that bad. For TV movies in 1984 and 1985 in fact, I’d even say they were pretty impressive from a special effects, costume, and cinematography standpoint. As I kid I watched them a lot, and really liked them. As the years passed, they seemed more and more dated, and as an adult I sort of chuckle at them. But back then, they were pretty much the only other live action view of the world of Star Wars that we had besides the original trilogy. And because of that, they were actually kind of exciting. It wasn’t a world of live action prequels, episodes VII through IX, Rogue One, Solo, shows like Mandalorian, Andor, or Obi-wan Kenobi, or any of the various animated shows like Clone Wars. So when we got these in the mid 80’s, especially as a kid, they were pretty darn cool. And you couldn’t just rewatch them either unless you had a VCR and recorded them. It wasn’t like streaming today. So you got a cool glimpse, and hoped it might re-air at some point.

Yeah he was awsome,.... the movie was called #HardTarget from 1993, i saw it in cinema back in the days

I remember watching these as a kid. They may not hold up for adults, but as kids movies from the 1980s they were phenomenal!

I remember watching this movie as a child. During high school I would always tell me peers that there was this weird Star Wars Ewok spin off where the main hero was some Hillbilly who wore GLASSES and fought with a cane, but my friend would scoff it off and not believe me.

Battle For Endor has one of my favorite throw-away jokes in any movie I've ever seen. The bad guy has this moat with some kind of monster in it that eats whatever falls in. After crossing it with a rope, the good guys have this fight scene that ends with a couple of evil guards hanging over the moat from the rope and it cuts without showing them fall. Later, the top bad guy comes into a room and he sees this rope stretching across it and it's in his way, so he casually cuts it so he doesn't have to go around. And in the background you hear "Waaaaagh!" *splash They don't draw attention to it, nobody comments on it, the sound is in the background so you might miss it if you aren't following the movie. I love those kinds of jokes that reward you for paying attention. Also, I love that it basically opens with Syndel watching her entire family get murdered. That is a ballsy move for a movie aimed at 5 year olds and I am HERE for it.

I never understood why Lucas decided that The Forrest Moon of Endor was more like the world of Willow. I also have always been confused on why the Ewoks blatantly use magic. not the Force, but magic.

I saw Caravan of Courage in the cinema and it was absolutely thrilling as a 6 year old. As was Battle for Endor. The movies were made for kids, not for adults.

It’s crazy to think Disney decided to go out of their way to make Star Wars movies so bad just to make the Ewok spinoff movies look like masterpieces.

Ha! Love this idea!

A fun fact: In the continuation of the legends after Cincel, the little child, after leaving Endor, they went to the outer edge of the galaxy Later, when Cincel grew up, she was the old man, they separated and Cincel became a journalist for the New Republic, including doing interviews with the main pilots of the New Republic. Later she also investigated the crisis of the Black Fleet which was a powerful fleet of Imperial remnants later she also did an interview with a being called "the lost prophet" who in fact He was an old clone trooper pilot from the clone wars who piloted an Arc-170 that was destroying and this is where Cincel's story ends after these films.

The Ewok movies have a nostalgic soft spot in our hearts, and funny enough, Lady Laci was the spitting image of Sindel when she was a little girl and would even wear her space (snow) boots everywhere because of that.

That "magical" lake freaked me out as a kid watching back in the 80s. It's the main the thing I remember from these spin-offs to this day.

I love everything about ewok adventure! Why does it have to be another star wars empire vs jedi movie? Maybe it's the nostalgia, but it's perfect to me.

And somehow these two movies still manage to be more entertaining and more endearing than all of modern Star Wars.

Grew up watching these as a kid in the '80s. If it was not for these two movies, I don't think I would have become such a fan of Star Wars in my early teen years. The first time I watched Return of the Jedi, I was like: "Whoa! Wait, what? The Ewoks are in this??" So, for me, these movies were the start of Star Wars. The scene in Battle for Endor when the witch changes from the "siren" TERRIFIED me as a kid. Seriously, nightmares. But I loved Caravan of Courage just as much. I remember being incredibly thrilled/scared when Mace is trapped underwater and Cindel is stuck in the runaway "cart." These came out on DVD in the 2000s and I had them for a while until my roommates accidentally sold them at a garage sale. I was not happy, but luckily they are on Disney Plus now. I thought they were amazing as a kid and still love them now.

Battle for Endor was the first Star Wars movie I watched. When other kids were fantasizing about X-Wings and AT-ATs I was imagining warrior bear cubs on hang gliders...

Droids never should’ve been cancelled. That show has so much charm.

These movies were bizarre and bonkers, but still have a special place in my heart. Though I hated the second movie only cause they killed of the family in the beginning of the film. The son was my favorite character.

These do feel like proto-Willow fantasy adventure exercises. I still have them recorded on VHS, but yeah, I probably haven't watched them in like 35 years.

I have fond memories of both of these Ewok movies along with The Great Heep animated Droids special. My dad recorded them all on vhs when they originally broadcast.

I grew up with the Ewok movies but didn't see Star Wars until I was a teen in 1997. I love the special effects and the way the entire thing feels. It works well and I still live it. Great video, man!

I enjoyed these as a kid, really will try to rewatch them. The first felt a bit odd to me as a kid but I loved the stop motion. The second was really shocking, nowadays it feels tame but the whole family wiped out. Even when it only feels kinda star warsy it's an interesting sci-fantasy with some nice even though dated effects! :)

George Lucas: "Season 1 of Ewoks cartoon is too scary. Tone it down, make it super kiddie." Also George Lucas: "In the 2nd movie, have evil looking vicious aliens kill off the little girls entire family"

My cousins and myself were super pumped for this when it aired. All it made me want to do was watch the original trilogy.

I mean, as a kid, the Star Wars universe has a Force that just ...makes magical shit happen. So the Ewok films having light fantasy movie elements made perfect sense to me. I think it's why I've always been much more open to weirdness in SW than a lot of fans. How is any of this lazer-sword pew-pew magical spaceship series NOT weird?

The Jedi Vs. Sith comics from 2001 would probably tickle your fancy. It’s basically medieval Jedi and is where Darth Bane became more than some background character George created.

I loved the ewoks, I love the ewoks adventures, it explains why the ewoks are so smart and such great warriors.

I loved these films as a kid. I was a little girl, and had a big crush on Luke. I loved Leia. Other than her, however, there weren't a lot of female characters to identify with, and light sabers were cool and all - but I loved the Ewoks too. I was five. So I was all about the Ewok adventure and Battle for Endor, and Cindel was my new hero. They were sweet little stories set in an exciting sci-fi fantasy universe that I was already familiar with. Not everything about Star Wars had to be about Jedi and fighting with laser swords. A least, not to me.

Another connection between An Ewok Adventure and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, besides both being narrated by Burl Ives, is that both the Gorax and the Abominable Snow Monster are defeated by falling off a cliff.

I was born in 1979, and I vividly remember being 7-8 years old and trying to figure out how these fit into Star Wars canon. And coming to the conclusion that they made no sense. If the Ewok Adventure and Battle for Endor took place before RotJ; Wicket would've been able to speak English when he met Leia. But if they were after, there would have to be SOME indication that the end of RotJ happened; Death Star debris, destroyed AT-ST's, etc. This confused me to no end at that time.

I had a read a long book of the series and it scared me as a kid. Because of the noise is that they added in..

Cindel eventually became a reporter and was mentioned in Tyrant's Test, the third book in The Black Fleet Crisis trilogy, by Michael P Kube-McDowell.

The Endor movies have always been weird, though they did allow the effects guys to try out ideas without burdening the main movies with the experiments if they didn't work out.

I saw this as a very little kid and it was so weird that for the longest time when I’d remember it, I honestly thought I was remembering a fever dream I might have had.

What I found most remarkable with these movies at the time is that they put Earth and the Star Wars Galaxy in the same universe and roughly same timeframe, thus contradicting the "long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away" mantra of the whole franchise.

I loved these movies as a kid watching them in the late 80s early 90s on the Disney channel. In retrospect they fit a bit better with the 80s fantasy genre than Sci-fi, obviously it's a bit of both but I think they're a lot like the similar genre bending movie Krull in that someone will either love it for its quirks and the shortcomings of the special effects or hate it for that very reason.

I'm from Japan and I saw EWOK ADVENTURE in the theater when I was a teenager. Man, it's a lot worse than I remember.

I loved the ewok movies as a kid,havnt watched them as an adult yet.

When I first heard Burl Ives narrating, I honestly thought it was gonna be some sort of "Christmas on Endor" movie. I liked Ewok Adventure much better than Battle for Endor. Let's not forget these came on the tail end of the Star Wars phenomenon. It was on its way out, and that was fine. People didn't expect franchises to get driven into ground by series and spinoffs like they are now. With every new Disney Star Wars project, I wish more and more the franchise had a dignified, natural passing in the late 80's.

That prison break... sequence... was... EPIC!!!

I actually really like Battle For Endor. I think it's a good 80's TV movie. Though I think Caravan of Courage is pretty boring as they just walk the entire movie, though I do like the end of that movie. I own the official DVD. I bought it pretty cheap from eBay many years ago, it was still new.

to its intended audience of 8-13 yr olds, the Ewok adventure was cool as hell. We recorded it on VHS and my my younger brother and I (we were 9 and 11 yrs old) watched it over and over. Mom used to shake her head and make faces, and we thought "She just doesn't *get* Star Wars; she's old." I mean, we were both annoyed by Mace and his attitude, but thought Cindel was the cutest thing to hit the tv screens in, well, ever, and we adored the Ewoks. To this day, as 48 and 50 yr olds, we still quote it (Stahhhrcwoooser, KRISH!). It wasn't groundbreaking or good, really, but in a time when the only onscreen SW media was the tapes of the movies, we latched on hard.

I liked the 1st ewok special. As an 8 yr old there were some scary parts.

Good theory!

Even back in the 80's as a hardcore Star Wars Fan I've simply ignored these movies and never saw them until today. And by the way in Germany at least the first one was running in theaters...

I rewatched these two films just a couple nights ago for the first time in 40-ish years since I watched them “live” on TV in the 80s. I didn’t remember a lot of the details so, in a lot of ways, it was like watching them for the first time. And I loved them. Whatever Disney thinks of them, as far as I’m concerned they’re canon. (And they do continue to get referenced in the modern, mainstream canon in the current shows). So there’s no reason to ignore them or to ignore the cartoons (which I rewatched also) which fills in some rather interesting “lost” chapters of Star Wars lore, even if they are side quests, so to speak. It has annoyed me in recent years for the internet to talk about how hated the Ewoks are. Since when?? Since recently, I guess, by people who didn’t grow up with them. They seem to be completely unaware that the Ewoks were once wildly popular-particularly among children. But then that seems to be their issue with the Ewoks. Anything appealing to kids is bad now. Which seems rather…immature.

Just comes down to multigenerational viewership and a franchise that's always going to try to remain relevent. I know plenty of people that grew up watching the original trilogy in theaters and the Ewoks just felt out of place and too cuddly for them. It wasn't their Star Wars. For me, I saw these on VHS for the first time, so Ewoks felt just as established as anything else in the SW Universe. Same thing happened with much of the prequel trilogy. Didn't feel like my Star Wars, but so many of the kids around me totally ate it up without issue.

Great video. Only thing I will take issue with is the 2nd Ewok film was actually a huge success. The networks just gave it a limited release on the big network, this actually hampered the shows rating performance. Droids & Ewok show suffered because the demand was so high for another film at the time, fans basically took there disdain out on cartoon shows. We wanted Lucasfilm to make media that was more tailored to an older audience & not keep catering to 2-6 years old demographic. 😊

He-hey, my fourth and fifth favorite «Star Wars» movies, AND my favorite television series.

I remember kind of liking the first Ewok movie then I also remember immediately changing the channel in Battle for Endor once it was pretty clear that little girl's family was for-real merc'd.

With the atrocity that is The Last Jedi being something that actually exists, give me the Ewok movies any day.

Cindel Towani should return as a hot mercenary character.
