Star Wars: Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure Poster by Drew Struzan

[beardedmrbean]

Sure,but the meme was acting like it was the only possibility. I don’t even think it’s from a woman the Ewoks previously ate is even that likely for multiple reasons.

I don't think the person that made it put that much thought into it, but again you aren't wrong.

There's also this to consider as a possibility

There's no real time given for when in the Star Wars timeline this happens that I know of, but Wicket is in it so safe enough to assume it's in the same general timeframe as the other movies.

I would put it before ROTJ because if it were after there would likely be a rebel presence of some sort, or at least things like the storm trooper helmet drum set.

So it is entirely possible that after the rescue of the parents

But before the repairs of their cruiser could be finished, the ewoks made clothing for all of them, because that's how homies do, and there were a few pieces that hadn't been finished yet by the time they were able to be on their way.

Which then were adjusted so that they could fit Leia.

But again, none of that is as funny as thinking they ate someone and it's a meme and a joke which doesn't need to be taken too deeply.

Just laughed at

If you're curious about this movie and the other one they did in order to capitalize off of the popularity of the ewoks, it looks like there's a few sketchy 'tube' sites over in Russia you can watch it on.

I love Star Wars so fucking much X3

Every era, every medium, every dumb lil detail I can fill my squishy lil mind with instead of something more practical. I dont care what is or isnt canon. I want space wizards, and rogues, and space battles. I have felt like I cant really talk about the franchise for a long time now cuz of all the craziness surrounding it, but im done with all that jazz. I want to scream it to the stars while whipping one of my dueling lightsabers around. If I can use the term Special Interest then Star Wars certainly is one.

[bo-katan]

I know I shouldn't have put any consideration into what older sw fans say about any sw content that was outside the Skywalker saga, but some really made it seem as if The Ewok Adventure/Caravan of Courage was completely unwatchable.

It is very obvious that this was made and meant for children interested in the sw universe. Yes, it is cute and simple, but that should not have warranted the amount of hate it gets.

Mace is a young teen who takes up the responsibility of protecting his little sister after their family crashes on Endor. Not knowing if the locals are hostile, can you really blame him for how he is when we are initially introduced to him? Plus, the one person he's supposed to take care of then got extremely sick, and his only option is to trust that these teddy-bear-like creatures will actually be helpful to him. It is completely understandable for him to be scared and to lash out. These are children ffs.

Watching this just made me more glad I didn't grow up with sw. I'm not absolutely bitter when watching things that expand the universe.

Is this a good film? No. But is it unwatchable? Also no.

Plus, sw is so unserious most of the time. It isn't so unbelievable that the Ewoks can be, and ARE, as brave and resourceful and actually helpful as they are.

Part 2 a lost sequel an ice planet and a forest moon

Introduction

Hello there and welcome to the second chapter of a revised blog that looks at the first 6 episodes of the Star Wars saga the first chapter covered the making of Star Wars and my memories of the Toyline and seeing Star Wars on Television for the first time in 1982 this chapter covers the lost sequel Splinter of a Minds eye from 1978 The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

So Star Wars is a big success how do you continue the story?

Well the first plan was not the Empire Strikes back but a low budget sequel planned by George Lucas and the writer Alan Dean Foster called Splinter of Minds eye written in case Star Wars was a big flop,

Screenrant recently published this article about the book with it celebrating its 46th birthday.

Before The Empire Strikes Back, there was Alan Dean Foster's "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" - the original sequel to Star Wars, 46 years old today. It's hard to believe, but back in 1977, even George Lucas wasn't confident Star Wars would be a success. He approached well-established science-fiction writer Alan Dean Foster to write a low-budget sequel, which evolved into the first tie-in in what would become the old Star Wars Expanded Universe.

"Splinter of the Mind's Eye" was officially published on February 12, 1978, and it is officially 46 years old today. The book is no longer considered canon - Disney effectively rebooted the entire timeline, rendering the Expanded Universe "Legends" - but that doesn't mean it had no influence. In fact, there are striking similarities to The Empire Strikes Back, while Solo: A Star Wars Story and tie-ins to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker have brought some of its most interesting ideas back into canon.

"Splinter of the Mind's Eye" continued the adventures of Luke Skywalker, with the would-be Jedi traveling to the swamplike planet Mimban as an escort for Princess Leia. There, they discover a wizened old lady named Halla who served as something of a mentor to him in the ways of the Force, and he came face-to-face with Darth Vader for the first time - triumphing even though Darth Vader wielded Force powers Luke had never seen before. Han Solo was entirely absent - Foster seemed to assume he had returned to his old life as a smuggler - and the book is brimming with romantic tension between Luke and Leia.

It's easy to see how "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" impacted the real Star Wars sequel - in which Luke Skywalker traveled to a swamplike planet named Dagobah where he met a wizened old Jedi Master named Yoda. In fact, there's evidence Dagobah was itself based on concept art for Mimban. Luke wound up dueling Darth Vader in the movie as well, although he didn't fare quite so well as in Foster's book. The Empire Strikes Back even featured the infamous Luke-Leia kiss, a moment Lucas surely came to regret when he decided to make them brother and sister.

Empire Strikes Back the second Chapter in the trilogy and the first change of director calling the shots

Empire Strikes Back was included in an article on the Screenrant website titled 10 Movie sequels that changed director and beat the original these are there comments on Empire Strikes Back

While George Lucas continued to write for all of Star Wars: Episodes I through VI, he stepped back from directing episodes V, and VI. A New Hope set up the elaborate universe and a stage to play out the space opera that is Star Wars, but The Empire Strikes Back is arguably the best entry in the entire series. Characters like Yoda, and Lando Calrissian made their debut in Episode V, along with the shocking reveal that Darth Vader is Luke's father. This film completely changed the trajectory for all future films in the franchise and formed the foundation of what Star Wars became, and part of that should be attributed to the wonderful direction of Irvin Kershner.

The Perfect Sequel

The Collider website recently punlished an article called 25 movies that are perfect from start to finish included The Empire Strikes Back in their list at number 16  this is what collider film said about Empire Strikes Back.

For as good and groundbreaking as the original Star Wars from 1977 was, it was the sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, that cemented Star Wars as more than just a fad that swept cinemas one summer. It's about as perfect as movie sequels get, bringing back all the key characters from the first movie and pushing them further, physically, emotionally, and even psychologically. In every way, it raises the stakes and makes the beloved galaxy far, far away feel even more vast.

As the title implies, the tyrannical empire does not take their defeat at the end of the first movie well, with The Empire Strikes Back kicking off with the heroic Rebels on the defensive and scattered following a spectacular opening battle scene. From there, Luke Skywalker learns some dark truths about himself and his family while Han Solo and Princess Leia find themselves falling for each other, even if fate looks like it might keep them apart. It's space opera storytelling at its best, and a perfect sequel to an already great movie in every way.

The Best Science Fiction film of 1980

The movieweb film website published an article called the best scifi movie of every year in the 80s for 1980 they chose Empire strikes Back these were their reasons why.

In 1977, George Lucas changed the face of cinema forever with what would become one of the most popular and highest-grossing film franchises of all time. Three years later, The Empire Strikes Back hit theaters and featured the first-ever battle between Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Darth Vadar (David Prowse).

After the retrieval of Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) in A New Hope, the Rebels are pursued by the Death Star across the galaxy. Realizing that he can't win his fight against Darth Vadar without training first, Luke seeks the help of Jedi Master Yoda to guide him on the path to becoming a Jedi. The second film's masterful finale sets up the pace for what is technically the "last film" in the trilogy.

What Makes It the Best

1980 was a relatively slow year for sci-fi as far as major films go. However, the largely anticipated release of the second installment in the Star Wars franchise would outshine any other film by far. The Empire Strikes Back utilized the popularization of space exploration flawlessly, right down to Yoda's puppet effects. The use of practical effects throughout the film adds to the overall charm of those early Star Wars movies. Empire Strikes Back explores more territory and spends more time in space, as more creatures and characters are introduced throughout.

Star Wars and Me Empire Strikes Back

The first thing I knew about the Empire Strikes Back is when Mum and Dad took me and Matthew on Holiday or a day trip somewhere, and Matthew managed to pick up a Star Wars Empire Strikes back comic book that was hidden in a newspaper stand I was most envious.

The first Star Wars computer game I ever played was the 1982 Empire Strikes Back Parker Bros game for the Atari games console remember those ? you used to have to plug the unit into the airiel socket at the back of your TV for hours of arcade fun 

Those of you who have not played the Empire Strikes back computer game you are Luke Skywalker in your Snow speeder trying to stop the AT ATs from attacking your base on the planet hoth you had a limited time in which to do it or you would loose the game.

It was good for its time I thought the graphics were very good when I played it with my family as a 5 year old but its one of those games you could never win as the evil Empire would always get to your base in the end .

The first picture is an example of the graphics featured in the Empire Strikes back game not bad for 1982 the 2nd picture is the cover the Atari cartridge came in.

  I didn’t get to see Empire till Dad hired it for the weekend from the video store on watching I can remember not liking it but on repeat viewings I have changed my mind I can see why its now regarded as the best film of the original trilogy it would be a while befoe I would see on televison . it wasn’t shown on the ITV network till Christmas 1987.

Toys

As mentioned in this the first chapter of this blog Star Wars introduced a whole new toyline Empire Strikes back would build on that success one of the first Star Wars toys I ever got was Luke Skywalkers Snowspeeder from Empire Strikes Back.

Empire would introduce new planets and baddies into the Star Wars universe.

These included the Planet Hoth where the opening battle with the evil empire took place. Dagobar where we meet former Jedi Master Yoda for the first time as well as Cloud City where Han Solo attempts to escape capture by Darth Vader and an army of bounty hunters including Bobba Fett

Star Wars and Me Return of the Jedi

I always felt sorry for Return of the Jedi it always seems to get a bad rep after the the first 2 episodes in the original trilogy Star Wars A New Hope and The Empire which is seen as the best Star Wars fiilm of the original trilogy and often cited as the best film of the series when campared with the other 9 films in The Skywalker saga.

Return of the Jedi is often critised by some for its plot for copying story elements from Star wars being the building of the Death Star and the rebels having to destroy it at the films end the cute teddy bear creatures the Eworks are also not liked by some Star Wars fans

When George Lucas orignally wrote the Star Wars script in the early 70s he had planned to use Chewbacca's own people the Wookies to help out the rebels instead

Return of the Jedi is the Star wars film I have the best memories of

with it being the final film of the trilogy it seemed to be everywhere and the merchandise machine was into overdrive including your local Supermarket yes you could now eat Star Wars as well. around 1983 C3PO from the Star Wars films had his own cereal I never eat these by the way ha ha

There was even an advert to go with it you can watch it here C3PO Cereal from Kellogg's 1984 (youtube.com) but I do remember eating some Star Wars biscuits themed around Return of the Jedi from what I remember they tasted ok

After eating Star Wars I did buy quite a bit of Return of the Jedi merchindise with the help of my Mum and Dad

who went to a parents evening at Rawthorpe infants and Junior school school and while me and Matthew stayed at my Nans,my dad brought back a pair of Storybooks he said bought one of my teachers one of them was the Return of the Jedi storybook.

Dad went on another one of trips to a garden centre and brought back a couple of storybook tapes for me and Matthew one was the 24 page storybook and tape of Return of The Jedi .I listened to that quite a lot I am surprised I didn’t wear the tape out. to listen to the storybook click here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSZeN7fW8Q8...

Then I went to local yearly fair with my Grandparents and cousins and brought back this badge.

I didn’t see Return of the Jedi till it made it début on VHS in 1984 it didn’t appear the TV till the ITV network showed it on Boxing day 1988 .

Dad once again hired it from the Local video story for the weekend and we must have watched it about 10 times in about 3 days

By far the most bizzare piece of merchandise I ever got relating to Star Wars was the 1984 Return of the Jedi annual which my Nan bought me for Christmas. Its rather strange in that even though it says Return of the Jedi on the front cover its got nothing to do with the film. 

The front cover artwork though Very good looks nothing like Mark Hamell’s Luke Skywalker.Though the artist does a good Job with the  other elements on the cover like Princess Leia The Emperor and the Scout Walker.

From my memory of reading it apart from one image in the book it doesn’t feature Harrison Fords Han Solo as part of the story, as a consequence of that Chewbacca is missing from the book as well.

Return of the Jedi the Computer game

I also remember playing a computer game based on return of the jedi according to Wikipedia it was originally released in 1985 but I think mum most have bought a later version .

It was the Spectrum 2 version where you had to load onto computer via a cassette I thought it was very good I played it quite alot the graphics and game play were very good.

it featured 3 levels The player takes control of three different vehicles in stages based upon the Return of the Jedi film. Gameplay is from an isometrically projected perspective and is broken into three stages. In the first, the player pilots a speeder bike to the Ewok village. The next stage involves piloting the Millennium Falcon to destroy a reactor. Another speeder bike stage follows. The final stage involves piloting both an AT-ST and the Millennium Falcon in rapid succession in a fight against a Star Destroyer.

Epilogue Star Wars The Artwork

Years later me and Matthew went on holiday with mum and dad and we would pass this bookshop everyday and we would look lovingly in the window at Star Wars portpholios full of lovely artwork. We told mum and dad about these thinking we would never get them  they were too expensive.

Then on the last day Mum and dad went into the book shop and bought them both me and Matthew were floored but so happy 

The artwork was amazing Matthew told me he found it fascinating

*The Poster for Empire Strikes back designed by Roger Kastel was included in the Calider film website 25 best movie posters of all time making number 3 in their list they had this to say about Kastel’s work

1977's Star Wars may have blown people's minds upon release, but its acclaimed 1980 sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, was the one that ultimately shattered any and all expectations. Things got darker for the main characters after their victory against the Empire at the end of the first Star Wars, and if anything, said Empire "striking back" - as suggested by the title - is kind of underselling it.

The Empire Strikes Back kicks off with Rebel forces being crushed in battle and then scattered across the galaxy, leading Luke Skywalker to seek training while Han Solo and Leia - among others - flee the Empire forces. It's a non-stop thrill ride through space, and the poster features glimpses of numerous "greatest hits" throughout the film: romance, space battles, a snowy setting, and Darth Vader's helmet looming ominously over all. It might be up for debate which of the Star Wars posters truly is the best-looking, but The Empire Strikes Back's would have to be a contender.

Next week the final chapter Spoofing my Childhood/The Boy will bring balance to the force

The Rules:

Every twenty-four hours there will be another round. After every round, the film in last place will be eliminated.

If there are multiple films tying for last place, there will be a special elimination round. In these rounds, every film in last place will be eliminated, even if all the films have tied equally.

When there are only two films remaining, they will face off against one another in a week-long poll to determine the victor.

If you feel that no mere Star Wars film deserves to win, then please hit the "No Star Wars *Film* Is As Good As ___!" option and reply to this post with the non-film piece of Star Wars media you wish to include in the poll. The non-film piece of Star Wars media with the highest 'write-in' votes will then be added to the poll in the next round. Welcome to the poll, Andor and Star Wars: The Clone Wars!

This is all for fun. Don’t take it too seriously ;)

First and foremost, let's hear it for the write-in votes that didn't make it to the poll:

Rebels, Star Wars (NPR Radio Series), Star Wars Holiday Special (1978), Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, Jedi: Fallen Order, and of course... Space Balls?

(To clear up any confusion, any votes for a specific season or story arc in a series have been counted as a vote for the series as a whole)

Somehow, The Rise Of Skywalker will not return.

^^Sith!Rey when she gets the news.

Moving on! Time for Round Two!

List of Star Wars Medias

navigating star wars is tricky and complex but here's everything (mostly) in order based off of the timeline. some of the medias overlap.

Prequel Trilogy Era (Galactic Republic)

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Star Wars: The Clone Wars [the movie]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Szn. 1 - Szn. 7 Ep. 9)

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Szn. 7 Ep. 10 - Szn. 7 Ep. 12) [you don't have to watch ROTS before you watch these last episodes ^^ it's just what fits better on the timeline]

transition era from prequel trilogy era to original trilogy era (galactic empire/rebellion)

Tales of the Jedi [takes place in different times throughout the prequel era (everything above) so the order of watching this show doesn't matter but it's best to watch it after the clone wars most likely]

Star Wars: The Bad Batch

Solo: A Star Wars Story

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Star Wars: Rebels

Andor [season 1 takes place same time as rebels season 1, 5 BBY]

Original Trilogy Era (Galactic Empire/Rebellion)

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

transition era from original trilogy era to sequel trilogy era (new republic)

The Mandalorian (Szn. 1 - Szn. 2)

The Book of Boba Fett (Szn. 1)

Ahsoka [takes place after mando s2 and close proximity to mando s3]

The Mandalorian (Szn. 3)

Sequel Trilogy (New Republic)

Star Wars: Resistance [overlaps with the sequel movies so i suggest you watch the movies first before starting this]

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

Extra, but not necessary

Star Wars Visions [no specific timeline. highly recommend]

Star Wars: Clone Wars [the 2d cartoon show, not the 3d. not necessary to watch. takes place during clone wars, obvs]

Star Wars: Droids [takes place after the bad batch and before the solo movie]

The Star Wars Holiday Special [takes place after a new hope and before empire strikes back]

Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure [takes place after empire strikes back and before return of the jedi]

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor [takes place after empire strikes back and before return of the jedi]

The Ewoks [takes place after empire strikes back and before return of the jedi]

Important things to note:

"BBY" stands for "before battle of yavin". "ABY" stands for "after battle of yavin". like B.C. and A.D., it's how the star wars universe counts their years for some reason. 0 BBY takes place during Episode IV: A New Hope, where the battle of yavin literally happened.

prequel trilogy was widely hated when it came out, mostly by toxic dudebros. the fandom HAS healed, and now it's regarded well and favorited often. sequel trilogy is widely hated and continues that way, for some reason. original trilogy is loved.

there ARE inconsistencies within the media. some media will contradict others and it's just something you gotta accept.

legends is a non-canon thing. idk anything about it but if you hear anything about legends, it's not canon to the storyline, though it's useful to pull resources and concepts from.

some people may or may not switch up the order of things based off of the years going off of BBY and ABY, and that's fine. this is just the list i use that i think is easiest to follow.

following up on the point above ^^ some of the clone wars episodes are out of order, timeline wise, but that doesn’t affect watching experience or anything. if you want to find the episodes in timeline order, i’m sure a bit of research will get you a list easily.

enjoy!

[kenobihater]

i was scouring the wookieepedia page for armor to find a cool alternative to mando armor, and i just fell down an absolute rabbit hole

girl WHAT. who IS this. naturally, i looked up what the fuck this was from, and i found out it's from a tv movie titled ewoks: the battle for endor (1985), starring warwick davis as wicket w. warrick and some other people who i don't recognize. it's the sequel to another tv movie called caravan of courage: an ewok adventure (1984), also with warwick davis. i vaguely remember seeing some really short clips from this in i believe a yt lore video or video essay? i think i just assumed it was from the holiday special, because there's so much crazy shit in there which i only half remember due to being shitfaced when i watched it forever ago

so, i looked up the trailers out of curiosity. they're both absolutely wild, but i think the sequel's trailer is just a little bit more bananas

i obviously looked up the full movies on youtube, but no dice. i then googled the titles, preparing to look for pirate streaming sites, and then? i realized they're both on disney+

so is my beloved clone wars '03, the story of the faithful wookiee, which i think is taken from the holiday special (?), droids, which i've seen bits of on yt, and the ewoks cartoon, which i know a little bit about only due to quintonreviews. apparently, they've put a lot of this stuff up since 2021, which is the last time i checked the disney's catalog of older star wars content

elated by this discovery, i'm sure you can guess what i searched next on the app

alas, disney are spineless cowards who, despite allowing the ewok duology on their precious prestigious platform AND lifting the wookiee segment straight from the special itself, are far too afraid of the absolute masterpiece that is the og holiday special 😔

My Star Wars watch order list

Hey Star Wars fandom.

I have decided to create this watch list for any newbies joining the fandom. Most people in the fandom prefer to watch all the films and shows chronologically.

I have wanted to binge-watch all the Star Wars media on Disney+ and watch them in the order of when they were released. Whenever I tried to find a list of the release date order, the lists I found have been either only films or shows.
