Omg No, you put some of the new trailers in the video!!!! I lost a bet I had with a friend that I would not see a single trailer tell I saw the movie lmao. Well thinking about it I can just not tell him lol
Favorite line of the first movie: "Reunited the families enjoy the simple pleasures of being together having learned something they already knew, that courage loyalty, and love are the strongest forces of the universe."

You should do that on your own lol. I’ve never seen these but if they’re anything like the holiday special then that’d be the greatest thing Disney had ever done.... and I’m including pioneering animation techniques in that
“Disney is doing their very best to scrub these films from history” Disney: Proceeds to release both films on Disney plus: my goals are beyond your understanding.
Create buzz and fomo by doing your very best to scrub it from history. Then sell those stupid, trash hungry millennials what they "need" but could have gotten "for free" before they cared.
I always thought the Ewok films took place just before the original trilogy, there was a line in the ROTJ book that said Wicket recognized Leia as a human, because of his interaction with Cindel years earlier.
There was never any other Ewok movie, only Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor, unless you are talking about the holiday special which wasn't Ewoks at all it was Chewbacca's family
I watched this movie as a child and I’ve literally thought that the movie didn’t exist and was just a dream that I had, but I somehow thought about it yesterday and I remembered some parts. Like the little child and the big monster. I just had to search it up here on UA-cam and I got really surprised to see that it actually is real. Feels kinda weird
@@Wedge_Khan yeah that's how I found out about them and I'm kicking myself in the teeth because this is probably something I should have known as a Star Wars fan that these movies exist
Pls any idea where i can find the movies? i watched as a kid and just yesterday i was trying to show my children but dont know where to find the videos. Pls kindly help. Thank you.
It's funny that Disney now disavows these films, they used to play them on the Disney Channel in the 90s. EDIT: I know they're on Disney+ now. They weren't on there yet when I wrote this, so stop commenting on it.
@@ryancols No, Gabriel is still right. Disney disavowed everything from the original Expanded Universe, including the Ewoks films. As far they're concerned, they never happened.
I feel like after the Last Jedi and the end of rebels star wars was in a dark age until Mandalorian Jedi fallen order and clone wars s7, now star wars are in a new renaissance
I've seen these before when I was younger. We rented these from Blockbuster. It's surprising to me that other people haven't seen them nor heard of them.
Chris G. Same for me. I actually really liked these movies as a kid, though I guess not enough to actually petition my parents to buy them for me for xmas or something. I kinda regret that now, after watching this video. Hmmm...
My grandma showed them to me as a kid. Real small kid. They were the first Star Wars movies I saw and I didn't know they were Star Wars movies. It wasn't until like 10 years later when I saw Return that it tickled my mind just right and looked up to see if these movies actually existed.
The family is from Earth too (though I'd need to check the shooting script to see if that was always spelled Urth or if that was a retcon to save blushes. Also the Witches of Dathomere have to be in balance with themselves both good and evil or have their own local balance otherwise they would monkey with the whole Balance narrative that has been sold post prequels.
I remember these.... to prove how young and naive i was: not only enjoyed these films, i thought that the character of Mace in this was going to grow into Mace Windu....
It might actually be from the same source. The very first name of the very first draft of the very first script of the very first Star Wars movie was "Mace Windy".
Same. I actually thought I had imagined this until I heard it referenced by some video I watched a few days ago. After looking this up my memory is all coming back... the nightmares are coming back.
I grew up watching these films with Star Wars episodes 4-6. It's nice to know I was not the only child that still remember these straight to TV movies.
I remember watching these movies on TV when I was a kid and I loved it. It was totally a big exciting moving night when I was these movies. Mom used one of the special hot air popcorn poppers we had back in the 80`s, the living room was cleared out and a `movie watching fort` was constructed, and mom and I even made some homemade hats. Damn! It was fun being a kid during the 80`s.
I remember seeing these as well. I was 9/10 when these hit so they were right in the wheelhouse for me. I remember them fondly so I will probably never watch them again. lol.
It says it on wikipedia for both movies, look for where it says 'The film is set after the Ewoks animated series and before the events of Return of the Jedi' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewoks:_The_Battle_for_Endor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravan_of_Courage:_An_Ewok_Adventure
Round about 2009, I found a small plush Ewok for sale at Disneyland and more or less sprinted to the cash register to buy it before anyone could stop me. (My friend tried, briefly.) I had wanted a stuffed Ewok since I was five, so much I named my stuffed koala Wicket and pretended REALLY HARD. Koala Wicket was part of my world before I saw the original Star Wars trilogy around age ten, and I have long since despaired of explaining my love of Ewoks to anyone. This video made me so happy. Yes, the budget was fourteen cents and the child actors are child actors. But I was five and I really wanted to run away to a giant forest and live in the trees with ferocious warrior teddy bears who somehow thought I was worth their time. Sometimes it's the simple things when you're five. Ewoks are great. I took my plushie on Space Mountain and he's my buddy to this day. The fandom hates them, so I never have to worry about someone trying to make them cool or edgy. They're just stabby teddy bears. Ewoks forever.
Worthy of such, not all movies have to be the best thing ever, besides it's the 80s and has more Ewoks, I can get it because I am also a product of the 80s
Never knew they were release in theater, I saw them on TV. As for Christmas special, I saw it and after a while wasn't sure if I saw it or it was something my imagination created since I was unable to find proof that it existed, well not until UA-cam.
I consider the expanded universe and whatever george lucas says is cannon is cannon to me! There are two catagories one is legends aka the old cannon and the next one is the current cannon aka disney's cannon.
@blkcandywarez Empire and Jedi were thought up at more or less the same time, though Jedi went through some heavy script changes before production began. While Lucas didn't have those films thought up from the beginning like he often used to say he did, if you look at the early drafts of the original film's script, you'll see that the setting and basic plot elements for the prequels (The Jedi Order, the Sith, the Separatists, the Trade Federation, the Republic being corrupted from within) are actually there already in the opening crawl. And when he actually made them, the prequels were outlined as a trio from the beginning. Disney knew from the start that they were making three movies, but decided it was a fine idea to have no forethought or planning, even though that's precisely the secret to why the Marvel movies made them so much money. It's not the reason the sequel trilogy is bad, but it's an easy way a lot of the badness could have been prevented.
Chris Taylor I think he meant the last Jedi, I don’t like any of the sequel trilogy but I do recognize that the last Jedi tried something else. Whether the result is good or not at least the last Jedi tried unlike force awakens and the rise of skywalker which I wouldn’t say sucked but is bland.
Yeah. I was young in the early 90's (the year always represented the grade I was in). Being as young as I was, I had only seen one Star Wars movie before watching these. Who knew that the franchise would end up being my favorite of all time. These two movies were always fun to watch back then. Kids definitely loved them.
Yeah as far as I know, the Holiday Special was actually no longer canon in the 90s even before the prequels came out. George Lucas himself really hated the Holiday Special too.
The best part is, when asked about this movie in an interview, Harrison ford had a look that most would describe as "Ptsd" XD This movie scarred poor harrison's mind!
@@NobleRaider2747 I mean that if you believe the New Testament, then *not* believing the old one doesn't make any sense. Personally I don't believe any of them (the religious parts anyway). However, the Old Testament does have *some* historical information that can be corroborated by other historical and archeological sources.
@@deadend1041 EXACTLY! I always say this as stand alone movie meaning without watching the others the sequels tell a story with beautiful cinematography and action, but once you look at the others you realise how much of an insult they are to the source material.
Large Unidentifiable Reptile I hope that never happens the port suck ass I don't understand what people see in them. If you like them go ahead you have that right.
K1tycat because you’re (probably) a grown ass man/manette, you’re not expected to see anything in them... you don’t look at fucking... idk, baby shark and think “this sucks ass, I don’t know what people see in this”
Why not? Its not like the fact that its a moon make so that it has to be like our moon... Its a moon of a Gas Giant, so it can pretty much work like a planet!
Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Battle for Endor are both cute films and it was actually nice to see something in the Star Wars universe outside the main films. They suck but hey... So did Episode I.
I remember watching the second one. As a kid I loved it! My mom recorded it off the tv on the old VHS, and I've likely watched it 10 times. No matter how bad it was, it still holds a special place for me. Keep in mind I grew up in rural Canada with only 2 channels to choose from.
Catherine tt 90's? Hahahaha!!!! Oh this is so 80's. little six and seven year old me was so excited for these two cheese fests. By the 90's the networks pretty much stopped doing stuff like this.
Let us not forget that the destruction of the second Death Star would in real life caused a massive death toll on the moon's surface. There would have been nothing left of the Ewok's if these movies had occurred after ROTJ.
What about Earth? The human family in this movie said they came from planet Earth...bloody freaking Earth...Compared to this the holiday special is amazing!
Fun fact, Cindel Towani (the little girl) actually found her way into the old Expanded Universe: She was mentioned in the novel "Tyrant's Test", the third part of the Black Fleet Crisis-Trilogy, set 12 years after Endor.
I remember the advertising. It was named "The Great Ewok Adventure" (not Caravan of Courage) here in Holland. And since I have hated Eewoks since "Return of the Jedi," I never watched it. End of story.
Austin, every time i see a video from you i start smiling like a giddy kid. You are probably my favorite youtuber because you cover topics that most likely no one else would and do it all with great editing and a fun, likable personality. Keep doing what you're doing my friend.
I remember watching these movies on TV back in the day, and... recording them on VHS tapes. AND... I still have the tapes. Yeah, I know, don't say it. Also, did I mention that I still have the full soundtrack on a 33 record album? Yup.
I bought them on DVD about ten years ago. I also had them on tape way back when my mum taped them for me. Watching them now, they seem a little childish, but children are who they were made for.
Star Brand God Damn!!!! I had the sound track on EP 33 1/3 album myself!!!! I think it's so precious the way these music nerds today go on and on about "vinyl" and how that "vintage sound" is how music is supposed to sound! As someone who has seen the advances from records to 8 tracks,to cassette,to CDs,I can tell you,music is supposed to sound like it's live,not scratchy and popping! We waited and waited for our favorites to be rereleased on cassette,so we could hear in good quality!! That being said.... I fuckin love listening to an actual record,just makes me feel like a kid again!
in my opinion, Caravan of Courage is PURE Star Wars; world building, having characters with realistic motivations, having cute moments and entertaining moments, following a single narrative, and being a good movie not connected to the larger Star Wars narrative.
Rafael. . .ikr? I remember watching them. That's why I was surprised when I found both of them on dvd for under $5 at Wal-Mart about 6-7 years ago.(both movies are sold together, in one case btw)
The lasers, faster than light travel without FTL capability, the giant super duper space gun's the size of a moon, and the bestiary of creepy critters aren't too far - it's the guys glasses for you? Duuuude. :P
I was 88 and didn't know about star wars until I was 11. I consider myself a big fan, but never, ever heard of these two movies. Although to be fair, I read that old star wars encyclopedia and was really puzzled as to where all the extra photographic material came from regarding characters and species on Endor. I had attributed them to the cmas special. Well, now I know.
also these movies are listed on Warwick Davis's IMDb page. Besides any movie/show will end up on IMDb at some point. So basically IMDb is the Internets movie/show archive.
David I'm a 90's kid and I know about them. I seen both Ewok movies before I seen the original trilogy. I think they aired on Disney channel back then and I was about 4 or 5 years old so this was around 1992 or 1993 (I'm 29 now). I loved those movies. I also seen the original movies before they got butchered when they aired on either TBS or USA in 1994... (Han Solo getting frozen gave me nightmares and Vadar scared me at the time but now I love Vadar because he is badass and James Earl Jones voices him). So yeah I knew be of these films and they pop up on UA-cam from time to time.
Oh, come on. The Clone Wars dIdn't have a crawl, Rebels didn't have one. It was far from being a precident and considering what they announced what they were planning to do with Rogue One, hardly a surprise.
"so rogue one DIDN'T break new ground with no opening crawl?" No, but it was The Clone Wars movie that broke that rule, these don't count because they were made for TV, not real movies.
In Return of Jedi it's simply called the "Forest Moon of Endor" Endor being the gas giant and the Forest Moon being one of several, though in the movie you can't tell except their is one more moon.
Ewoks beating stormtroopers makes more sense than the alternative that people love to point to as being the better concept (re: wookies). When you think about it, it would have the change the movie drastically (and probably for the worse). You have small primitive bears that have pointy sticks as weapons, then you have huge super strong monsters. You aren't going to consider the first a threat, so you will completely ignore them. Wookies are something you can't ignore AT ALL due to the huge differences between them. So the idea is basically the Empire's hubris is what does them in in the end. It's a classic use of literally devices used like how the first movie is just a fantasy adventure but set in space.
Ha ha! Me too. We had a VHS of Battle for Endor taped off of the TV when it first aired, but I started it late and didn't see the first five minutes of the movie for years.
Well looks like Disney finally excepts the existence of these movies because they are on the Disney + Star Wars vintage collection, along with the Ewoks tv series, the clone wars micro series, and a faithful Wookiee.
LOL Yeah I felt the same way. Definitely have very fond, and very fuzzy memories of the first film. I always remembered there were Ewok movies but wondered why they never sat next to the trilogy movies in stores... now I know.
Fred Svenlin Disney is strict on canon now. It's just the I-VI and everything Disney put out after buying Lucasfilm. Trust me, I say the Holiday Special is canon!!!
They gained a major following of children throughout the eighties and nineties on VHS. They're wonderful movies. Pure bliss. Perfect childrens fairy tales.
Can't say I blame you. They're cannibalistic in the originals, and creepy as all hell. I'd sooner let a Jawa turn my TV into a Transformer than let an Ewok wander around my neighborhood.
I liked the first one as a kid, because as a kid in the 80s, the only thing you wanted more as a friend/pet after Ewoks was a mogui Gizmo from Gremlins!

The movies take place before the return of the jedi, not after
Supposedly one of the Ewoks has a toy resembling an Imperial Walker, which would place it after ROTJ. Though I never spotted this toy in the movie.
But, how would an ewok owning a toy make it after return of the jedi?
But what's saying it is set before Return Of The Jedi then?
It says it on wikipedia for both movies, look for where it says 'The film is set after the Ewoks animated series and before the events of Return of the Jedi'

@@FraserSouris One, almost decent film and two aberrations. Can't even credit the effort.
@@alexanderwhite2745 Which Disney movie was almost decent? Force Awakens?
@blkcandywarez Empire and Jedi were thought up at more or less the same time, though Jedi went through some heavy script changes before production began. While Lucas didn't have those films thought up from the beginning like he often used to say he did, if you look at the early drafts of the original film's script, you'll see that the setting and basic plot elements for the prequels (The Jedi Order, the Sith, the Separatists, the Trade Federation, the Republic being corrupted from within) are actually there already in the opening crawl. And when he actually made them, the prequels were outlined as a trio from the beginning.
Disney knew from the start that they were making three movies, but decided it was a fine idea to have no forethought or planning, even though that's precisely the secret to why the Marvel movies made them so much money. It's not the reason the sequel trilogy is bad, but it's an easy way a lot of the badness could have been prevented.
Chris Taylor I think he meant the last Jedi, I don’t like any of the sequel trilogy but I do recognize that the last Jedi tried something else. Whether the result is good or not at least the last Jedi tried unlike force awakens and the rise of skywalker which I wouldn’t say sucked but is bland.
Fast forward 6 years and not only are these now on Disney+ but they are also better than the sequel trilogy lol
Battle For Endor is excellent. 9/10
Wait, is it the Caravan of courage?
Oh god it is.
Yep.
I had the same reaction, used to watch these with the actor Eric & my dad
ABC used to play them all the time right around christmas. Pretty sure every fan knew about these who grew up in the 80s early 90s
Yeah. I was young in the early 90's (the year always represented the grade I was in). Being as young as I was, I had only seen one Star Wars movie before watching these. Who knew that the franchise would end up being my favorite of all time.
These two movies were always fun to watch back then. Kids definitely loved them.
I saw these and the holiday special when they first came out.
You forgot the most important thing. Are these canon?
no
They aren't anymore
Yeah as far as I know, the Holiday Special was actually no longer canon in the 90s even before the prequels came out. George Lucas himself really hated the Holiday Special too.
The best part is, when asked about this movie in an interview, Harrison ford had a look that most would describe as "Ptsd" XD This movie scarred poor harrison's mind!
Le Croissant They are.
The "witch of endor" is found in the Old Testament.
Where 😮😯😯 ? What book ?
@@JAllanC12 to be completely honest, the old testament is all just fables and legends
@@NobleRaider2747 ... as opposed to the New Testament which is history as it happened? Don't make me laugh
@@amosungar5248 "history as it happened"
Don't you mean, "secondhand accounts of history"
@@NobleRaider2747 I mean that if you believe the New Testament, then *not* believing the old one doesn't make any sense. Personally I don't believe any of them (the religious parts anyway). However, the Old Testament does have *some* historical information that can be corroborated by other historical and archeological sources.
You can tell this video is pre-Last jedi. Its so hopeful and positive haha
Eh, they're kinda like DC. Get away from the blockbuster sequels and stick to disney+ side shows/movies
@Diego Negrete he did
@Diego Negrete doesn't matter if he liked it, I liked both GIJoe movies, doesn't mean it was good nor that the franchise has a future.
@@deadend1041 EXACTLY! I always say this as stand alone movie meaning without watching the others the sequels tell a story with beautiful cinematography and action, but once you look at the others you realise how much of an insult they are to the source material.
still better than the holiday special
BWGgy Still better than the sequels.
Nathan Broderick Still better than the originals
lol wtf did i just type up
Anything has more originality than the CRYlo ren awakens
everything is better than the holiday special, the only reason why some one might enjoy that is if its Christmas time and they are forced to be happy.
How long until we get a porg movie
Large Unidentifiable Reptile I hope that never happens the port suck ass I don't understand what people see in them. If you like them go ahead you have that right.
I also want a porg movie with a porg jedi
But will it have hang gliders
Dan M Confirmed, some porg is The last Jedi
K1tycat because you’re (probably) a grown ass man/manette, you’re not expected to see anything in them... you don’t look at fucking... idk, baby shark and think “this sucks ass, I don’t know what people see in this”
Nearly 4 years later, Disney has put the Ewoks films on Disney+
And The Ewoks TV show!
Why are there horses on the forest moon of endor?
Why not? Its not like the fact that its a moon make so that it has to be like our moon... Its a moon of a Gas Giant, so it can pretty much work like a planet!
They're space horses, duh
Why are there little curly headed blonde girls in space?
I guess they have horses in the SW Galaxy just like there's humans in the SW Galaxy
do you know if leptons are really compound particles?!
Freaking Horses. . .
Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Battle for Endor are both cute films and it was actually nice to see something in the Star Wars universe outside the main films. They suck but hey... So did Episode I.
I have seen the ewoks adventure , caravan of courage and the holiday special :3
Nerd fan Gurl for life so have I, they were on cable years ago.
I’m sorry you saw the Holiday special.
I remember watching the second one. As a kid I loved it! My mom recorded it off the tv on the old VHS, and I've likely watched it 10 times. No matter how bad it was, it still holds a special place for me. Keep in mind I grew up in rural Canada with only 2 channels to choose from.
I wake up in a cold sweat. Those words play over and over again in my mind.
“The Ewok adventures aren’t canon”
And then, I started to scream
6:31
Austin “planet wide invasion”
Fanboys: it’s a fOrEsT mOoN!!!!!!,!
PAF he calls it a plant at 4:38 to
Love it when I'm in the middle of a binge on a channel and a new video pops up out of nowhere.
loganatorgaming do you have a problem with homosexual males because that's what you just called him
You’re right 3 years later they finally added it to Disney +
Technically, the fantasy/witch stuff is canon in Star Wars. See the nightsisters of Dathomir.
LegoTurtle Brickfilms this movie is not canon
Catherine tt oh no, this was definitely the 80's
Catherine tt 90's? Hahahaha!!!! Oh this is so 80's. little six and seven year old me was so excited for these two cheese fests. By the 90's the networks pretty much stopped doing stuff like this.
Let us not forget that the destruction of the second Death Star would in real life caused a massive death toll on the moon's surface. There would have been nothing left of the Ewok's if these movies had occurred after ROTJ.
But given that at the end of ROTJ the alliance and Ewoks were seen partying in the forest, we can probably assume that Endor was just fine. ;)
horses in Star Wars? F---ING HORSES?
Primitive planets. You can't interfere with events! It's against the Prime Direct...
...Wait, wrong franchise...
Dagobah had snakes and iguanas
The Lego Communist
No one gives a shit about prime directive.
Fair point. Look at Kirk...
What about Earth? The human family in this movie said they came from planet Earth...bloody freaking Earth...Compared to this the holiday special is amazing!
"Until they stop making money, which will not likely ever happen"......HA HA
I prefer, "It's probably the most exciting time a Star Wars fan could ever hope to be alive."
Yeah... I wish I wasn't cause of this sometimes...
@@plzletmebefrank That sentence would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad...
Yah we will never get another main line star wars film. Or a star wars story film and solo failed and tlj is bad and the fanbase is the new war.
Dude, ROS made 799 million $$$
Fun fact, Cindel Towani (the little girl) actually found her way into the old Expanded Universe: She was mentioned in the novel "Tyrant's Test", the third part of the Black Fleet Crisis-Trilogy, set 12 years after Endor.
Lord of the Rings with ewoks?! lol

Just remember, David...
The apricot shaped oak leaf scents now seek you, and their endurance is great.
I loved these as a kid. Thanks for the recap. We Gen X'ers remember these well, but they have been erased for the Millenial generation.
I saw these when I was a kid and I'm 20
Dawson Taylor 25 here. Looked them up ages ago
Benjoman221 I saw These and I was 8 lol
I remember the advertising. It was named "The Great Ewok Adventure" (not Caravan of Courage) here in Holland. And since I have hated Eewoks since "Return of the Jedi," I never watched it. End of story.
Austin, every time i see a video from you i start smiling like a giddy kid. You are probably my favorite youtuber because you cover topics that most likely no one else would and do it all with great editing and a fun, likable personality. Keep doing what you're doing my friend.
Cheers, Pickle Man.
these were actually my favourite star wars films as a kid, I've watched them hundreds of times, never got tired of them
These movies are fine. I'm a very hardcore Star Wars fan and it seems odd why they'd hide these movies. I can arguably say these movies are very good.
Maxx Krok then it should be good for you ....
Agreed but that's no bad thing. I watched them both recently and enjoyed them immensely. I'm 34 btw
! :)
They did not hide them they are still being sold but some people can not do an announce of research..
an announce? hahah don't you mean an ounce?
Spell check is a pain in the ass.
I remember watching these movies on TV back in the day, and... recording them on VHS tapes. AND... I still have the tapes. Yeah, I know, don't say it. Also, did I mention that I still have the full soundtrack on a 33 record album? Yup.
it's not 'yup,' it's 'yub.' :)
'Yub-Yub'
Noal Zimmerman yub yub lerdo
I bought them on DVD about ten years ago. I also had them on tape way back when my mum taped them for me. Watching them now, they seem a little childish, but children are who they were made for.
Star Brand God Damn!!!! I had the sound track on EP 33 1/3 album myself!!!! I think it's so precious the way these music nerds today go on and on about "vinyl" and how that "vintage sound" is how music is supposed to sound! As someone who has seen the advances from records to 8 tracks,to cassette,to CDs,I can tell you,music is supposed to sound like it's live,not scratchy and popping! We waited and waited for our favorites to be rereleased on cassette,so we could hear in good quality!!
That being said.... I fuckin love listening to an actual record,just makes me feel like a kid again!
This video annoyed me because I grew up with this Ewok stuff , I just accepted it as part of the universe.
Apparently, they're allowing us to see them now. Because now they're on Disney+.
Remember star wars droids animated adventures
straightjacket219 eh
Ohhhh I member
Don't forget the Ewoks! Used to come on right before droids!
Never have been this early to a video before... um.....
I hate sand.
We get it, you're early, but please watch the video first, there's no medal for being first. Have a nice day and congrats

Anheru Draken That is not racism. He did not express hatred against a certain group of people because they have a certain genetic background
An official DVD release: THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE THESE!
Right.
in my opinion, Caravan of Courage is PURE Star Wars; world building, having characters with realistic motivations, having cute moments and entertaining moments, following a single narrative, and being a good movie not connected to the larger Star Wars narrative.
dude, they played them on TV back in the 80s. I saw them as a kid. Where have you been?
Rafael Nieto Well I'm probably his core demographic and I was born in 1994, so there you go.
Rafael. . .ikr? I remember watching them. That's why I was surprised when I found both of them on dvd for under $5 at Wal-Mart about 6-7 years ago.(both movies are sold together, in one case btw)
well I was born in the 80s and I never heard of them. I don't think they ever aired since.
Rafael Nieto Yeah I remember watching when I was a kid too. I thought they were good movies.
Having rampaging sexual experiences with hordes of exotic, irresistible women.
i am very much kidding
They also made an animated show about Ewoks.
Yep.
Oh yeah, I saw it on DISNEY XD. Isn't it called REBELS or something
There was a Droids cartoon, too.
Yeah, I know. I just wonder...why did they make them?
The lasers, faster than light travel without FTL capability, the giant super duper space gun's the size of a moon, and the bestiary of creepy critters aren't too far - it's the guys glasses for you? Duuuude. :P
BaSH PROMPT
"faster than light travel without FTL capability"
Wut?
Unlike hyperspace travel, the Death Star's turbolaser, and exotic monstrous alien species, the glasses aren't setting-appropriate.

AEX10 same
I got them on Videotape.
AEX10 I was gonna like but u have 69 likes so I won't ruin it
These movies aren't some big secret. Any kid from the 80s knows them. So dumb.
Brides of Cthulhu I know
Yeah. I pity them, they don't know what they missed, and will never understand the cultural impact.
I was 88 and didn't know about star wars until I was 11. I consider myself a big fan, but never, ever heard of these two movies. Although to be fair, I read that old star wars encyclopedia and was really puzzled as to where all the extra photographic material came from regarding characters and species on Endor. I had attributed them to the cmas special. Well, now I know.
also these movies are listed on Warwick Davis's IMDb page. Besides any movie/show will end up on IMDb at some point. So basically IMDb is the Internets movie/show archive.
David I'm a 90's kid and I know about them. I seen both Ewok movies before I seen the original trilogy. I think they aired on Disney channel back then and I was about 4 or 5 years old so this was around 1992 or 1993 (I'm 29 now). I loved those movies. I also seen the original movies before they got butchered when they aired on either TBS or USA in 1994... (Han Solo getting frozen gave me nightmares and Vadar scared me at the time but now I love Vadar because he is badass and James Earl Jones voices him). So yeah I knew be of these films and they pop up on UA-cam from time to time.
Cartoon Network Brazil actually broadcasted both films in the early 2010's.
wait
so rogue one DIDN'T break new ground with no opening crawl?
you've changed my perception of reality
Bruh I was really confused when i watched rogue one, i needed some background!! A LITTLE GIRL RUNNING ON A FARM ISN'T ENOUGH!!!
Oh, come on. The Clone Wars dIdn't have a crawl, Rebels didn't have one. It was far from being a precident and considering what they announced what they were planning to do with Rogue One, hardly a surprise.
how did everyone on this thread besides elvichu miss the joke
uncultured hack frauds
i applaud them for being different!
"so rogue one DIDN'T break new ground with no opening crawl?"
No, but it was The Clone Wars movie that broke that rule, these don't count because they were made for TV, not real movies.
"Ewok's native planet of Endor"
It's....it's a moon
A sanctuary moon, whatever that means.
Piano Puff I can't tell if this is serious or a reference to how he pointed out the same thing in the video.
+Piano Puff A moon is a planet that revolves around another planet so, in fact, it is not incorrect to call Endor a planet.
Endor is the planet. The moon is never actually named, apart from "the sanctuary moon".
In Return of Jedi it's simply called the "Forest Moon of Endor" Endor being the gas giant and the Forest Moon being one of several, though in the movie you can't tell except their is one more moon.
Sitting in the intro like "This is gonna be about the ewok adventures.... called it"
People hate the Ewoks; i love them.
Same here always had a place in my heart for Teddy Bears
Still don't like the Ewoks defeating the stormtroopers, but love the Ewoks movies
Yeah its that damn plot armor they are giving.
Ewoks beating stormtroopers makes more sense than the alternative that people love to point to as being the better concept (re: wookies). When you think about it, it would have the change the movie drastically (and probably for the worse).
You have small primitive bears that have pointy sticks as weapons, then you have huge super strong monsters. You aren't going to consider the first a threat, so you will completely ignore them. Wookies are something you can't ignore AT ALL due to the huge differences between them.
So the idea is basically the Empire's hubris is what does them in in the end. It's a classic use of literally devices used like how the first movie is just a fantasy adventure but set in space.
I don't mind Ewoks. Did you know that Ewoks are naked Jawas?
I remember watching these on TV as a kid!!! Yes, thanks for reminding me happier memories! Yup yup
(PS - I am an Ewok fan.)
Yub yub you mean
Ha ha! Me too. We had a VHS of Battle for Endor taped off of the TV when it first aired, but I started it late and didn't see the first five minutes of the movie for years.
Me too

Nope, they were terrible.
Same here. We loved it. The little girl was probably chosen to her likeness to Drew Barrymore who was popular because of the recent E.T. fame.
Well looks like Disney finally excepts the existence of these movies because they are on the Disney + Star Wars vintage collection, along with the Ewoks tv series, the clone wars micro series, and a faithful Wookiee.
I loved ewok adventures as a kid. I remember my grandmother having it and willow. on recorded vhs tapes.

Same! I now have all three on DVD:)
I remember these - and I feel like I'm watching 'Little House on the Prairie of Endor'.
lol
haha I never watched thhe movie and I thought it was
LOL Yeah I felt the same way. Definitely have very fond, and very fuzzy memories of the first film. I always remembered there were Ewok movies but wondered why they never sat next to the trilogy movies in stores... now I know.
But does it have hang gliders?
It ABSOLUTELY has hang gliders!
But does it have the principle from The Breakfast Club!? Or Wilfred Brimley?!!
I'd rather watch the Ewok movies on continuous loop for infinity, than sit through anything that Dizz-knee crapped out once.
Just have to ask...
Is this canon?
Fred Svenlin Disney is strict on canon now. It's just the I-VI and everything Disney put out after buying Lucasfilm.
Trust me, I say the Holiday Special is canon!!!
Daniel Gygax I II clone wars III IV V VI rebels...
Fred Svenlin it better fucking be
Fred Svenlin who the fuck cares... It's fiction anyway. I say you can consider canon whatever you want to consider canon
Petr Stuchlý Thats what EU is...
10:23 these monsters are seen again in the Mandalorian!
Ooollllyyyyyyyyyyyy Smokes ! Your Right . They are lol 😂.
Baby Yoda is a living meme so u have two reasons to thank Mandolorian.
I believe they were originally in Jedi though?
Clone Wars features them sometimes as well.
Some of that footage from the second movie reminded me of Willow. Could be coincidental, but the production time frame matches up afaik.
I heard that the movie was sort of a test for Willow
Considering that both were Lucas productions i wouldn't be surprised if they were both shot at the same time in the same location.
They gained a major following of children throughout the eighties and nineties on VHS. They're wonderful movies. Pure bliss. Perfect childrens fairy tales.
I watched one of these as a little kid. I remember feeling "this isn't very Star Wars-ish." I don't remember much beyond that though.
I’ve seen the ewok adventures. I own the DVD. I used to be scared of it......
Evan Roussy those ewoks are the stuff of nightmares *shudders*
empty sky yeah, they are really creepy
Evan Roussy to be fair they did eat the stormtroopers
Can't say I blame you. They're cannibalistic in the originals, and creepy as all hell. I'd sooner let a Jawa turn my TV into a Transformer than let an Ewok wander around my neighborhood.
Same, this was something I don't want to face when I was a kid
I used to watch these movies religiously when I was younger 😂
12:20 Disney is trying their very best to erase these two films (Disney adds them in Dinsey Plus )
I liked the first one as a kid, because as a kid in the 80s, the only thing you wanted more as a friend/pet after Ewoks was a mogui Gizmo from Gremlins!
Cindel Towani is Rey's Mom confirmed!

"That you have never seen..."

Pretty most Star Wars fans that are old enough to have rented VHS tapes have at least seen the box, even if they don't remember.
Brande X I'm 27, therefore a millenial and have seen them as a kid (in France ). I'm surprised so many people here didn't know about them Oo
We must have recorded these on vhs because my siblings and I watched this over and over again. We loved it as kids. It felt like it was made for us!
Dude! Ewoks: Battle for Endor is awesome. Love that movie!
DJ118USMC I like it to as well
Yeah, it was way better than Caravan of Courage, this guy is on crack.
DJ118USMC completely agree it was a great movie

The Boy Looks like Luke Skywalker.
Axel Lopez _ a broke down Luke Skywalker...lol
He's also a an a-hole. I loved the movies and the cartoons but he was mean to the Ewoks who were giving their lives to help them save their parents.
Before I watch this I bet you one is the Christmas special
Guess not...
Hiking Plane0 same
No... Every one knows about the Christmas Special...
No. No one will EVER talk about that. That late 70s Christmas special was disturbing
