- Both 'Caravan of Courage' and 'Battle for Endor' don't get talked about much in Star Wars, but some of it is just too crazy to overlook.
The Ewok Adventure is a 1984 American fantasy adventure film based in the Star Wars universe. It takes place on the moon of Endor, and features the Ewoks, who help two young human siblings as they try to locate their parents.
Ewoks: The Battle for Endor is a 1985 American fantasy adventure film set in the Star Wars universe and co-written and directed by Jim and Ken Wheat from a story by George Lucas. A sequel to Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, it focuses on Cindel Towani, the human girl from the first film, who, after being orphaned, joins the Ewoks in protecting their village and defeating the marauders who have taken control of the Endor moon.

![I Watched The Ewok Movie [and its SURPRISINGLY DARK Sequel]](/img/n.gif)
Fun facts about the second movie:
in the EU, the little girl managed to escape Endor and became a reporter.
The witch was indeed a nightsister from Dathomir.
Yes, but the decision for her to be one was a retroactive afterthought moment by Lucasfilm. The concept didn't exist in Star Wars when this movie came out.
@@MrChristianDT
You mean the whole Dathomir Concept...
@@ellugerdelacruz2555The character being from Dathomir. The planet & the Night Sisters weren't a thing in the lore yet.
I remember watching these movies as a kid and being baffled at the choice to kill off the entire family except the little girl in the opening of the second movie.
Personally, I liked it. It was dark and brutal.
@@chasehedges6775 yeah but it completely invalidates the ENTIRE FIRST MOVIE.
I watched this on a whim and I was floored by how dark that intro was.
George Lucas was still going through a bitter divorce at the time, so the happy family had to be destroyed.
I read the idea for that came from George’s daughter, who was a fan of a different movie that had something like that happen. At least I think that’s how the story went
I’ll take people in costumes as Ewoks over bad CGI any day. Also that Gorax freaked me out as a kid. Then there was Ewoks: The Battle for Endor… I miss 80’s weirdness.
Like with the old godzilla films from toho. Gimme rubber suit monsters and modell citys everyday over friggin cgi
Little Aubree Miller as Cindel was really the heart and soul of these movies. This little girl was just so damned adorable you wanted to adopt her.❤
💯💯💯💯👍. She was absolutely amazing/cute in these movies. Shame she never acted again afterwards
She gave an amazing performance in these movies, especially since they were her first 2 films. I really liked her in Battle For Endor.
I can't count how many times I borrowed Battle for Endor from the library. I loved it as a kid and it was my first exposure to the SW universe.
AWESOME!
It’s one of my favorites and I still love it now as an adult
My library never had these. I was told they existed, but I never got the chance to see them. Now, I'm actually kind of curious about the second one. I do remember being 4 yrs old & getting the original Trilogy from the library one at a time, then being deeply confused why Star Wars was a different movie almost every time I watched it.
@@MrChristianDT The second one, Battle Of Endor, is amazing
@@MrChristianDT That’s interesting
As a lifelong Star Wars fan I have no idea how I never even knew this existed.
And I watched the “Droids” and “Ewoks” cartoon shows.
Don't beat yourself up. The Ewoks films were kind of an underground sensation. I grew up with them being shown on TV... Quite ironically, the Disney channel. Then they just vanished into obscurity for several years. Eventually I came across them in the form of a DVD set.
To my great shame I've actually never seen the Ewok or Droid cartoons.
I literally had no idea this was a thing
I remember watching the Ewoks movies with my dad when I was a child who enjoyed those movies too.
I remember the Ewoks cartoon too, but sadly I never watched the Droids cartoon until when I was an adult though.
I think I still might have a VHS copy of The Droids cartoon.
I'll have to check because if I do still have it then I might give my VHS copy of The Droids cartoon away to those that need it for their Star Wars collection.
I fckng loved droids as a really young kid! The theme song is soooo damn catch with german lyrics, but good öuck finding it on yt i guess. Like the series isnt already rare af
Growing up as a kid in the 80s being a baby when Jedi came out, Ewoks and Droids and cameos in Muppet Babies were my only exposure to Star Wars. I knew some of the mythology and plot from Spaceballs which I saw and aired 100+ times in the late 80s. I never saw Star Wars films shown anywhere on TV. I recall one summer where NBC or a network was going to show each film Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was hyped to watch when I remembered on Sunday. Hyped for spacejets and laser guns and to see Darth Vader. All I see in the first ten minutes is two effeminate robots bickering in the desert and knocking on a big door and talking with a big slug. I turned it off there and did something else. I didnt see the movies finally until I was 17, on the eve of Episode I. Star Wars kind of faded away and wasnt a thing between 1985-97. Kids my age grew up on He-Man, Transformers, Robocop, Terminator and Arnold for the action/adventure fix of the day.
Whenever you see that "Where did the Ewoks get a dress for Leia" meme, it is clear they never watched the Ewok movies. These movies take place before Return of the Jedi. The dress they give Leia probably belonged to the mom in these movies.
THIS!
THE EWOK MOVIES ARE MANDATORY CANON MATERIAL! (unironically saying this tbh becuz i love the movies)
I’ve seen the first one, I had it on DVD as a kid. Actually, I might still have it on DVD somewhere in a box. I never thought of that, but that makes perfect sense.
A channel called "Secret Galaxy" covered these films yesterday. It was interesting to compare the two points of view on these films. I think the concensus that these films are just passable is not bad considering they were "made for tv". Especially when compared to that other Star Wars thing that was made for tv that we don't talk about.
Never forget those faces…
You mean the Holiday Special? You're talking about the Holiday Special right? We should totally talk about the Holiday Special.
Whip whip stir whip!
But overseas and in uk they were released in theaters as big screen star wars movies! So, for places overseas these are big screen movies!
@@saturdaymorningfan3123 Cool that they got theaters in the UK
I saw both of these movies when I was in the hospital after having tubes put in my ear as a kid and they were amazing to me. The only thing sadder than the girl's family dying is the fact that my parents couldn't find physical copies to buy so I could watch them at home.
The only way I got to see both of them was when my babysitter when the movies premiered on tv was after she recorded them to VHS.
I named one of my first dogs Ewok, so these little guys are special to me.
The little girl in these movies was adorable. She gave a good performance for a child actor
That's not really a high bar to cross.
Good point but still she did a good job
I was fortunate enough to speak with Aubree Miller (Cindel) back when IMDb had message boards, she seems like a cool person. She gave up acting after the Ewok movies, which is a shame because she had real potential.
She was wonderful in these movies
She was adorable
@@chasehedges6775 Agreed. I wish Doug had made a Nostalgia Critic review of these movies for May 4th last year, instead of the Rugrats Movie.
@@ExplorerDS6789 The Rugrats movie is awesome tho
When IMDB had Message board.
Wish they would bring those back
I remember watching the ewoks movies on vhs when I was younger,the nostalgia is insane
Careful, its rose colored.
"Hey, look at this happy, loving familywho spent the whole previous movie reuniting. Aren't they so carefree? Oh, no! They're dead! You should FEEL bad!" - a paraphrasing of TWA's GRIMDARK episode.
I think if the Star Wars Sequel trilogy wanted to REALLY ruin fans' childhoods, they'd have shown The First Order firebombing the Forest Moon.
I remember seeing the first of these movies when I was a kid. Needless to say, hearing about the sequel was really shocking!
I think people are missing the Ewoks at this point!
We don't know what became of them .
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 Wouldn't that make for an interesting story?
@@claytonrios1maybe kylo had them
All exterminated.😂
I know the Storm Troopers did. A lot.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 I don’t consider the ST canon
After The Battle for Endor, George Lucas planned to make a third Ewok Adventures film, but it never came to fruition because "they became very expensive to make."
What is Lucas' thing with the Ewoks? I can't imagine people were demanding movies for these things
@@brianalambert1192There are worse ideas for Star Wars movies.
"Very expensive"
I wonder if it had anything with his divorce going on around that time because Star Wars wasn't lacking in profits.
@@brianalambert1192 The Ewoks were/are quite popular. There's just a subset of fans who hate them.
Yeah, Battle for Endor goes hard! It is Star Wars in the fact that just because Endor is a moon doesn't mean it's sleepy. It kinda shows why the Empire had such a hard time with the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi!
I remember these movies used to be on the Disney channel ALL THE TIME (back when the channel was edgy).
Yeah I was surprised how dark the "Battle for Endor" was and how they killed off most of the family from the first movie in the first 10 minutes.
I’ll be honest, these movies are ok and charming for the family
These movies were my introduction to Star Wars. They remain close to me and my love for the universe.
Same here
Fun fact. The little girl shows up in one of the old books, all grown up, and working as a reporter.
Cool. That’s interesting
The child actress who played her, Aubree Miller, did a good job and was absolutely adorable
Actually yes, they would imply, though not outright confirm, that the witch of Endor was indeed from Dathomir and a Nightsister.
I love the Ewoks! I loved them in the Ewok films, and I loved them in Return of the Jedi.
Okay so the idea of the Empire being beaten by teddy bears is a little farfetched, but I still love it.
Also, i was actually hoping you might do a full Nostalgia Critic for both of these films. But this works too. 😁👍
These films were referenced in A Certain POV: ROTJ - a collection of short stories showing Episode 6 from different perspectives. In one of them Wicket recounts the events of these movies. So in a way, these things are canon.
It's sad that there's only two more days of Disneycember 2023. It's really compelling getting to hear Doug's honest opinions, and I'm already excited for 2024 Disneycember.
Same here
I wish he talks about The Defenders shows
And the G-force movie!
You do know what that means tho, right? Once Upon a Studio is probably tomorrow! 😁
Wait, no. Rio 2 first, THEN Once Upon a Studio (for some reason Channel Awesome Wiki briefly The Little Mermaid remake will be last, but Once Upon a Studio makes more sense).
If Jon Favreau can make the Holiday Special canon by acknowledging Life Day in the Mandalorian, I see no reason he couldn't retroactively include these films as well.
They were better than the Holiday Special.
You’re right but that’s not a high bar…
This. This was my childhood...and def the cartoon
Finally, I waited for your review on the Ewoks movies! I find those movies more interesting than the recent Star Wars series that came out lately!
I wouldn’t mind seeing a full Nostalgia Critic review of them.
@@Scorpshee especially when the Ewoks cartoon introduced him to Star Wars and he watched the Ewoks movies as a kid!
@@Markimark151 that would be a great way to kick it off: draw on his personal connection.
@@Scorpshee since he could talk about his personal connection to Star Wars as a kid, and how Ewoks influenced him to the franchise!
Battle for Endor is the first memorial have watching a movie around three years old… and I loved it. For that reason alone I will never really hate these movies
Back when the Ewoks were popular.
I know this is unlikely to get answered but can someone PLEASE tell me the background music.
I think one of my favorite things about Star Wars is the variety in ways fans can be introduced to this franchise. It can be from any one of the trilogies but it could also be from all these shows, including the more obscure ones. And that’s not even including the plethora of video games and books in both Canon AND Legends. It’s one of the reasons why Star Wars is one of my all time favorite franchises.
Wonder what happened to them
During the Rey saga.
Kylo probably had them all wiped out.
The Ewoks?
In The Rise of Skywalker, we see Wicket (and his son) watching a First Order ship fall out of the sky at Endor.
I assume they be fine.@@nehemiahpouncey3607
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 You misspelled
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 They’re still available to read and watch, so nothing happened to them.
These Ewoks movies are classics LOL
I predict December 30th, he’ll review the Indiana Jones movie and December 31st, he’ll wrap it up with Once Upon A Studio
Rio 2 is December 30th.
Next year, Doug talks about The Defenders. Also, Ewoks movies are something fascinating because I’ve never seen them but I see clips of them. I guess I’ll give those movies a watch even though they’re in the legend’s continuity
Walked out of a summer vacation morning show of ROTJ. Saw the "Caravan of Courage" poster, the one in thumbnail. With the young Mark Hamil clone level lookalike(1:02). Fully expected an episode 7 or 3. That casting was the unmasking of cheap moneygrabbing that followed over the decades.
I thought the caravan of courage was something I dreamed up from my childhood. The fact that it's real is crazy to me lol
I think the reason why people don’t talk about these films because they didn’t grow up with them
I saw both Ewoks movies on UA-cam and I rewatch it on Disney +.
Hey arent those creatures that the bad guys ride in movie 2 the same that mando rides in season 1 of the mandalorian?
Yes, they are
UA-camr Toy Galaxy just did a video on these movies yesterday! Cool to see people highlighting obscure Star Wars content.
It’s so weird to me that two of my favorite UA-cam channels released videos based on these films only 20 hours apart.
Like is there some modern reference or something that happened recently to plant the seeds for these videos that I missed?
@MungkaeX I'm not sure! But something similar actually just happened with Cosmonaut Variety Hour and his Batman movie ranking. As soon as he talked about the controversies Batman Returns faced, other great UA-camrs like Mr. Sunday Movies and the aforementioned Toy Galaxy covered it too!
@@AlexG-jk8tc This example is clearly too closely timed to be anything other than a coincidence; but even the other examples you mentioned a lot of the best creators spend months working on videos, so it can give the impression that one influenced the creation of the other (even if neither knew about the other till they were too deep to turn back).
Just odd how the popular zeitgeist will hit these types of things around the same time period.
I started to watch these films this month to be prepared for Disneycember
The daughter probably came back to the ship after the parents were already gone.
Don't know why anyone wants these Ewok movies to be canon, but I say they both give the Disney Canon a run for it's money along with the Holiday Special. Change my mind. See if I care.
Ewok movies are harmless to the canon. No need to decanonize them. I think the Holiday Special is semi-canon. I'd like to think of it as Lumpy's faulty childhood memory of a real event.
I just watched Phantom Menace for the first time in a while a few days back and really enjoyed it. For me it still holds up, and is definitely a good way to get into the series.
@@peterhanson3472I concur. While imperfect films the prequels have plenty to love, I understand the hate, we’re seeing time repeat itself with the sequels getting crapped on. And while I can’t quite yet, I look forward to the day a bunch of kids tell me that actually rise of skywalker is underrated shut up old man… and then I can finally understand how my father felt when I told him that… ahhh… what a day that’ll be…
Or not who knows, only time will tell how the sequels are viewed. But as a kid who grew up with them, it’s good to see the prequels get some much deserved love.
@@peterhanson3472 Then you aren't a real Star Wars fan and you are a pathetic hypocrite. As a sequel fan you get no sympathy from me. We are NOT allies. You deserve no love. Fuck the prequels.
@@AnimatedTerror There are adults are like the sequels, like me. This is hard for you to understand because you are stupid and narrow-minded and assume that only small children like them.
We are at that stage when we are fat, bald, middle aged drunks with health problems, looking at the black-and-white photos of our exes, going “forgive us prequels! We didn’t appreciate you enough . If we only knew. If we only knew……”
@@peterhanson3472 a show that does for the sequels what clone wars did for the prequels would rock. I don't want to hold my breath because I feel the circumstances of star wars as a popular IP is very different, at the time you could do whatever with star wars because it was in this strange stagnant spot, so the clone wars was born. now under the thumb of Disney eh... we'll see. again, time will tell. I always try to remain open and positive though.
"there are worst ways to get into star wars" okay why then show the prequels? for ALOT of my generation we got and fell in love with stars because of the prequels
Oh I’m glad you made this bc I was thinking of the Ewok movies yesterday. I’ve only seen the beginning of the first one. And I thought I dreamed it lol
i watched these movies alot as a kid however the only scene i can ever remember is when the kid gets stuck under the water that scene always scared me i can never remember anything else about these movies
Fun fact: Battle for Endor was the first introduction of the Bluurg (the mounts the Twi’leks and Kuiil ride in modern canon) in Star Wars.
Between these films and the Droids/Eworks cartoons, Star Wars was definitely in a weird place before Heir to the Empire came out. It's literally the opposite of endless Star Wars today.
6:00 Actually, yes! The witch Charal was retconned into being the first Nightsister to appear.
I remember these movies. For the longest time, I looked for a physical copy of them, but found nothing. It is nice to know they can be found, again. It is also nice to know they have not been lost to the entertainment void.
What's the music used during this?
I watched the second one over and over as a kid...lol
Same here. It's my favorite.
The second film is the one I remember watching the most as a kid and it was still a lot of fun to watch now years later as an adult
Star Wars fans need to hear this:
Just have fun with it.
Zip it Sequel trilogy mark
So Battle for Endor basically amounts to "But it's OK" and "Oh No!" for the entire runtime? That's a lot more than most Star Wars extended universe stories.
Battle For Endor is a masterpiece. Change my mind.
Battle For Endor goes HARDER than it needs to.
Definitely.
The second one, Battle Of Endor is my favorite. It’s a bit darker
Okay the Phatom Menace call out got me, I loved that movie as a kid 😂
That Spider was scary as hell - dream haunting when I was 3-4 years old. Had the first movie on VHS, taped off air. Wore the first movie out. Only saw the second one once and was traumatized.
I didn't know the Ewoks got their own movies
Same!
TV movies, to be exact.
@@kylemorello4787 Ikr
Me neither until a day ago.
Ewoks are ADORABLE! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹❤❤❤
You guys think Wilford was able to get all his Diabetes supplies delivered right to that hut?
Kind of glad I only ever saw the second movie on vhs. Probably made me less upset about the girl losing her family since I never got invested in them.
The biggest thing I love about these movies is they're not about the skywalkers, the empire, jedi, nor the force. It's its own thing that expands on the universe rather than limit it.
Exactly

Count.😂
That makes no sense because the numbers aren't tied to the movie in any way whatsoever, it's not like there actually are 29 Ewoks in the movie, nor 10 mansions in Haunted Mansion, so you just have to say any element at random from each movie with no thought whasoever: Ewoks, super spies, abusive families, ancient kingdoms... and then add the number before it. In fact having the colon after the number makes it even worse, it just looks like a grocery list, not the verses in a song
.
This is not fun, funny or clever in any way, it's pointless, annoying and stupid.
@@KombatGod Hahahaha. You must be so much fun at parties.
George lucas really thought the ewoks would be a big deal after jedi 😂
The scene with the girl's nightmare in Battle of Endor gave me the WORST JUMP SCARE as a kid 😭
Soooo true. It’s unsettling even as an adult
Battle For Endor goes HARD. It’s darker than it needs to be and I love it
@@chasehedges6775 it actually got me when he played it again😂
True
I vaugly remember seeing these when I was young. After watching the video I recognized scenes from both movies. So I definitely must have watched both, probably at the same time on TV. Certainly didn't leave a huge impact. Since I know I saw them at least once. But that's about it
You have to wonder though.... were there any Ewok Jedis in the Jedi Order? Like imagine just how weird it might be to see one of those furry things swinging a lightsaber and killing droids - we've already seen their Stormtrooper murdering skills in action!
i think after the 80s they basically forgot about the ewoks (out side from that cameo in rise of the skywalker and of course the hunt missions from battlefront) since i can't remember other media where they appear
A quick check brought up an unnamed Ewok Jedi that apparently appeared in Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, a book that was part of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game.
@@motor4X4kombatThey appeared in Endor in the RTS game Empire at War, where you can fight alongside them (as the Rebels) or massacre them (as the Empire).
Also - there's the legend of Lieutenant Kettch!
Not quite a Jedi - but still, a tale worthy of song...@@scizoreon4068
I played one in the Star Trek Roleplaying Game years back. I think the game technically didn't allow for Ewoks to be force sensitive, but my GM handwaved that. (Hell, I'm pretty sure the Ewok shaman in these movies is seen using the Force a few times, including in one of the clips Doug showed.)
The witches of Dathomir originally debuted in a book that came out after this second movie movie was made, but they later retconned the villain of the movie to be a Dathomir witch, specifically a Nightsister, and retroactively made her the first appearance of a Nightsister and Dathomir witch in Star Wars.
In the Book of Sith-a collection of manuscripts by various darksiders-Mother Talzin describes how a rogue Nightsister stole their clan’s only raven-form Talisman of Shapeshifting, an allusion to the villain of this movie.
wow the second evoks movie is pretty badass for kids!
💯💯💯👍. Yep
Secret Galaxy made a video about the Ewok movies yesterday.
I've never seen Caravan of Courage, but my family recorded Battle for Endor from TV and that was my introduction to Star Wars
Battle For Endor is awesome
Remember when the Ewoks showed up in Episode 9 for literally one second and it was just pointless cameo porn?
Warwick Davis had to earn that paycheck somehow
@@chasehedges6775 Nah he had that Willow TV series on the way, and we all know how successful that was. 😁
I remember seeing both as a kid on the movie channel.
Never heardnof this Star Wars film before
I grew up with these movies and remember liking them. Plus, I really latched onto Cindel as a child. The movies were scary but still fantastical enough to not drive me away. I haven't seen them in a very long time and, yeah, I suppose they aren't amazing, but I think they do still deserve some credit for just being what they were.
I also wish they got brought up more, especially in relation to modern Star Wars (or maybe they do, I don't know).
The Ewok movies are good movies. I was born in 1984 when Caravan of Courage premiered on American television. My favourite out of the 2 movies is Battle for Endor.
Very coincidental that Toy Galaxy also put out an Ewoks film video yesterday.
“My family, they’re all Dead”
Is by far my favorite line
Utterly heartbreaking
This is definitely a Captain Phasma prequel!
Anyone else find it odd 20 hours before this Secret Galaxy posted a video on the same two Ewok movies?
I really enjoyed these as a kid. They're aimed at kids, but they have that sense of fun and magic that all the George Lucas projects had at that time. I enjoyed them more than the Disney sequels! They're small stories in a big universe.
Those Marauder guys actually reminded me more of the orcs than Mumm-ra.
I only saw Battle for Endor. It was traumatic, but in a good way. Alot of 80s films, TV movies and even some shows would have some grim, bleak or terrifying bits in them, despite being for children. I saw Star Wars first, but watching BoE, it reminded me and felt more like a Willow movie. Almost sword and sorcery, rather than tech and force. It didn't really bother me then and now, its all isolated to endor but it was something that even now, I cannot help but draw parallels between them.
💯💯
I never saw Caravan of Courage or Battle for Endor.
My introduction to the franchise was seeing the Lego Catalog ads for the 1999-2001 toy lines, and then my mom rented Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope on VHS from Hollywood Video to watch on my 8th birthday back in 2001.
Caravan of Courage was my first contact with SW, I can't count how many times I watched it as a kid, even if I had nightmares about the Gorax (the giant monster). I remember watching Battle for Endor and being scared as hell too, and i didn't like the whole family getting killed, so I pretty much buried the movie in my memories until I decided to watch it some years ago. I liked it better this time but the first movie is still my favorite.
I grew up with the ewok cartoon and the droids cartoon and the old clone wars cartoons
these movies need to be canon agian
i remember these movies cycling on disney channel all the time and I completely blocked off from my memory the parents AND brother dying in the second one. I didnt even realize it was a sequel, thats how fucked up it was!
0:25 That's fair. My introduction to Godzilla was the Hanna-Barbera cartoon from the 70s.
To be honest I remember watching both movies when they came out the first one couldn't tell you a single thing about it the second one, wow they went dark as hell my parents weren't sure if I could watch it, and I remember every scene
This was my introduction to Star Wars, this and the Ewok cartoon show
I just want to point out the Ewok movies are not canon and are not spin off movies from the original trilogy. If I recall George Lucas made these after the holiday special was a failure and wanted to do something Star Wars related but only using characters from the original trilogy. Too bad they are not canon because I would love to see an actual spin off movie or show that mentions the events from these movies. Like have an adult version of the young girl as a rebel alliance fighter that is in Hera's squadron. Star Wars since these movies have established magic from the night sisters; so, explaining the magic from the characters in the Ewok sequel would not be a problem.
I remember having Caravan of Courage on audio book and record as a kid.
I loved these two movies when i was a kid i didn’t mind them when my dad got the ewoks movies on dvd i was like this movie still holds up well watched afew years ago again on dvd and i still got some enjoyment out of it question which would you prefer the star wars holiday special or the two ewoks movies?
Toy Galaxy just released a video about this too. Weird
I'm surprised you didn't save Caravan of Courage for next year for it's 40th anniversary. Unless you're planning a full review for its anniversary *hopeful face* please and thank you! I adore these movies, so it's great to see them get some love
