Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984)

I have some affection for the Ewoks but I don’t loooooove them, not enough to crave a film centered entirely around the furry savages. I suspect most people feel the way I do and doubt most people even know Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure exists. It’s not a hidden gem. For the most part, this barely feels like a Star Wars movie. In fact, it does not feel like a “Star Wars” movie at all. It’s a generic magical adventure featuring "Star Wars"-like characters. I can’t recommend the movie on its successes, but I can recommend it on its faults as something “so bad it’s good”.

Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (although you couldn’t tell because there are no Stormtroopers or recognizable faces in the film), it stars Eric Walker as Mace Towani and Aubree Miller as his sister Cindel. When their parents disappear, they befriend the primitive inhabitants of Endor's moon: the Ewoks. To find the missing parents, the children and several Ewoks embark on a mystical quest.

The bulk of this movie isn’t that interesting. Mace doesn’t trust the Ewoks but Cindel does until then they finally bonding and become friends. Once that's settled, everyone can figure out how to communicate and then FINALLY start the quest. Even the adventure in question with the children, the Ewoks and their mounts (creatures that look suspiciously like Earth Ponies) isn’t that interesting. Before they can find the lair of the creature who parent-napped the adults two more Ewoks need to be recruited, and then they must all figure out what the magical artifacts they've been given do. Meanwhile, there's nothing to latch onto. All of the Ewoks speak their strange native language while a narrator tells you what’s going on. The actress playing Cindell is so young she can’t act, and her role is reduced to as little talking as possible.

The only people who would enjoy Caravan of Courage are the youngest, most undiscriminating audience members. The characters are one-dimensional, the plot is spoon-fed to you, and the peril is non-existent. Remember all the aliens and droids from Star Wars who stood out, who were memorable despite their lack of dialogue? You understood what they are saying because of the situation or from the other characters' reactions. It also makes the mistake of believing children can only relate to child characters. With such thin material, it would be a nigh-impossible ordeal for adults to make it work. Child actors? You might as well ask them to levitate their X-Wing out of a swamp.

I’ll give this movie a “recommendation” as something you can watch and make fun of for the last half hour. The special effects vary wildly, characters make incredibly stupid, borderline unbelievable decisions, people and objects change size from shot to shot. Throughout, there are plenty of moments to make fun of, courtesy of the bad acting or the fact that some of these Ewoks look more creepy than adorable, but the end is where you get all of the “so bad it’s good” money shots.

I hesitate to recommend Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure to even the tiniest Star Wars fans. It has some good special effects throughout, I’ll give it that and some of the comedy is pretty funny too. Ultimately, this is a novelty item, something for obsessive Star Wars fans to watch because they’ve seen all of the other material too many times. Or perhaps you want some laughs at your friends' expense as they get ready for the May 4th celebrations. (On DVD, December 18, 2015)

https://youtu.be/xb3WN0roewY In recent years there's been a very satisfying rediscovery of the Ewok movies, in no small part due to the presense of blurgs in The Mandalorian and the stellar job done by star Eric Walker to remind people of the place these charming TV films play in the history of the saga. Here, Dan from Secret Galaxy taes a look at these two 80's adventures, and their place in the galaxy. As the credits rolled on Return of the Jedi, George Lucas and the people at Lucasfilm were already trying to figure out how to extend the Star Wars brand. Among the many things tried were 2 made for TV movies starring The Ewoks: Caravan of Courage and The Battle For Endor. How do these movies fit into the story of Star Wars, if they do at all?

Was glancing at my kid's DVD shelf and flipped when I saw these...swear to God, I had NO idea these were in my house. When asked, my mom said "I bought him those when he was little."

39 years ago today was a Sunday night, and on ABC television in the United States 65 million viewers - a number modern television can only dream of which would, if translated into 2023 US cinema ticket prices would bring in a whopping $684,450,000 at the box office - sat down for the ABC Sunday Night Movie, which took them to the moon of Endor last seen in Return of the Jedi the year before. The film was Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, and almost forty years on it continues to charm the Lantern Birds from the trees. The Ewoks return in Caravan of Courage - this time to aid two children searching for their lost parents. The crash of the Towani family's starcruiser on the forest moon of Endor and the separation of two children from their parents sets into motion an incredible adventure that takes four-year-old Cindel Towani, and her older brother, Mace, into the unfamiliar world of the Ewoks. At first frightened, Cindel is quick to respond to the Ewoks' kindness. Brash and protective, Mace is wary of these awkward creatures and their primitive culture. But the Ewoks' pastoral life belies the wisdom, magic and fierce courage they will bring to bear against the arduous terrain, inhospitable inhabitants and unimaginable hazards that stand between the reunification of the Towani children and their missing parents. https://youtu.be/zn5EHiNg9gc You can get behind the Yub Nub Ewokumentary which takes a look at the making of Caravan of Courage by clicking here and supporting it. There are 8 days to go, so show your support for even more content from an overlooked gem of the original trilogy era. So far, Eric Walker, Warwick Davis, Darryl Henriques, Kevin Thompson, Peter Bernstein, Niki Botelho, Hal Rayle, Tony Cox and Zack Giallongo are part of the documentary and the more backers they get, the more interviews they can do.
