What do a decapitated Christian saint and the 1984 Star Wars TV movie Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure have in common? They were both influences on writer-director David Lowery, whose commentary in a new video explains how these two seemingly disparate things came together to inform a scene in his new movie The Green Knight, in theaters this weekend.

Star Wars fans have some nostalgic offerings available to them on Disney+. The streaming service has now added the Star Wars Vintage Collection, which includes several titles from the franchise's past that had previously been relegated to the realm of obscurity. Now, they are readily available through one of the largest streaming services on the planet. And there is even more vintage content from a galaxy far, far away coming down the pipeline in the future.
As of today, both Ewok movies, Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor are streaming on Disney+, as well as The Story of the Faithful Wookiee from the Star Wars Holiday Special, the Ewoks animated series and the original 2D Clone Wars shorts, now titled the Clone Wars 2D Micro-Series. Additionally, Lucasfilm has confirmed that the Star Wars: Droids animated series will be debuting on Disney+ sometime later this year.
Star Wars: The 10 Most Memorable Scenes From 'Ewoks: The Battle For Endor'

Star Wars fans might not know it, but two standalone Ewoks films were made following the release of Return of the Jedi. Though they weren't directly connected to the events of those films, they did present an opportunity for George Lucas to capitalize on the kid-friendliness of his Endor moon natives.

Caravan of Courage was a cute children's flick that felt imaginative and unique, but its follow-up sequel was didn't quite live up to expectations. The Battle for Endor isn't as exciting and interesting when compared to its predecessor. Nevertheless, it does have its moments, and here some of the most noteworthy.

'Star Wars': Ewoks TV Movies, Boba Fett 'Holiday Special' Debut Finally Coming to Disney Plus
- 16 March 2021

- Variety
"The Star Wars Holiday Special" is finally coming to Disney Plus … kind of.
In the biggest bulk release of "Star Wars" content since the streamer's launch, several "Star Wars" TV spinoffs from the 1970s, 1980s and 2000s will debut on Disney Plus on April 2. Among them will be the animated short "The Story of the Faithful Wookiee" — featuring the debut of bounty hunter Boba Fett — that played in the middle of the live-action "Holiday Special" when it first aired on CBS on 1978.
Joining "Faithful Wookiee" will be two TV movies featuring the cuddly Ewoks, 1984's "Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure" and 1985's "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor"; the animated "Ewoks" TV series that aired from 1985 to 1986; and the animated "Star Wars: Clone Wars" TV micro-series from Genndy Tartakovsky that aired on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005.
These spinoffs have lived in the hearts of hardcore "Star Wars" fans largely
Could the Infamous 'Star Wars Holiday Special' End Up on Disney+?
- 16 March 2021
- by Samson Amore
- The Wrap
Disney is adding a tidal wave of "Star Wars" content to its streaming site, Disney+, and some of the upcoming films hint at a possible revival of George Lucas' infamous "Star Wars Holiday Special" movie.
Until now, the "Star Wars Holiday Special" has been locked away, viewable mainly via unauthorized youTube uploads in all its insane, horrible late-70s glory. But in April, one of the few parts of the special that isn't considered a historic embarrassment — the animated short that introduced Boba Fett to the "Star Wars" universe, "The Story of the Faithful Wookie" — will begin streaming on Disney+.
It's just one of the long-unexploited "Star Wars" spinoff projects coming to Disney+ beginning April 2. Others include the 1984 live-action movie "Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure," the animated limited series "Star Wars: Ewoks" from 1985 and animated shorts from Gennedy Tartakovsky's "Star Wars: Clone Wars" series. Disney+ will
Both Ewoks Movies, Original Clone Wars Series & More Star Wars Rarities Are Coming to Disney+

- MovieWeb
Star Wars fans who also happen to be Disney+ subscribers have a lot to look forward to in April. The streaming service recently revealed the list of titles debuting next month and, while it isn't surprising to see Star Wars on the list, the specific selections are noteworthy. The additions not only include the original Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series from 2003, but we are also getting both Ewoks movies and a particularly important part of the Star Wars Holiday Special. Namely, the animated short that served as the introduction of Boba Fett.
All of these Star Wars rarities will be hitting Disney+ on April 2. These relics of the past will finally be available on a major streaming service for fans to revisit. Or, in many cases, certain fans may have the chance to see them for the first time. And likely better quality versions of these shows and movies than are currently available elsewhere.
Star Wars: The 10 Most Memorable Scenes From 'Ewoks: The Battle For Endor'
- 10 February 2021
- Screen Rant
By the time Return of the Jedi had finished production and hit theaters, everyone believed that Star Wars was relatively over. The trilogy had been wrapped up, there were no plans (at the time) for a follow-up film, and everyone was free to explore other sci-fi and fantasy properties of the time. Nevertheless, Star Wars would continue to remain popular for decades to come, and the 1980s were no different.

LucasFilm had commissioned several spinoff properties by that point, including two animated Saturday morning kids cartoons, and a made-for-tv movie based on the Ewoks of Endor. This film was titled Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, and although it can't possibly measure up to the Star Wars films it was based on, it's still a memorable and warm-hearted children's adventure tale. Here are the most memorable scenes from this oft-forgotten Star Wars property.
Best Mandalorian and Baby Yoda Gifts: A Star Wars Holiday Buying Guide

Presented by:
On Nov. 12, 2019, pop culture was forever changed when Disney+ launched The Mandalorian. Although the Star Wars saga had already established a presence on TV thanks to cartoons like The Clone Wars and Rebels, there had never been a well, good, live-action attempt to bring a galaxy far, far away to the small screen.. The Mandalorian changed all this.
The series is packed with motion picture-level production values, A-List talent on screen and behind the scenes, and, in general, pure entertainment. Before its premiere, The Mandalorian was shrouded in secrecy for reasons that have now become obvious—it was protecting its biggest, er, asset, The Child. A member of the same species as a certain wrinkled green Jedi master, the character is a breakout sensation that transcends the show and Star Wars itself due to its inherent cuteness. And so, Baby Yoda mania and a million "chickie nug nugs" memes were born.
Would George Lucas's Star Wars sequels have been better than Disney's?

It was a relief to many fans when the creator of Jar Jar Binks lost control of the space saga but his vision for the films that followed made a lot of sense
As Darth Vader learned in Revenge of the Sith, the only true victories are pyrrhic by nature. When Disney bought out George Lucas in 2012 and installed a new team in charge of Lucasfilm and Star Wars, many of us who detested the terrible prequel films (but loved the original trilogy) were delighted that the man who brought us Jar Jar Binks, as well as those awful CGI-assisted special editions of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, had been unceremoniously removed from the tiller.
It all started out so well, too, with the world-beating JJ Abrams-directed The Force Awakens. Gone were tedious trade delegations, midi-chloreans and galactic senates, back were knockabout space romps and realistic looking sets.

Mando and Baby Yoda are set to have a big night at the Emmys. The Mandalorian, the live-action Star Wars series, earned a massive 15 nominations at the upcoming awards show, including a surprise nod for Outstanding Drama Series. This serves as a huge win for Disney+, which launched last year. It also helps to further cement the show as a huge hit heading into season 2, which is set to debut this fall.
Aside from its Outstanding Drama Series nomination, The Mandalorian was nominated for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance, Production Design for Narrative Program (half-hour), Cinematography for Single Camera (half-hour), Fantasy/sci-fi costumes, single-camera Picture editing for a drama series (three nominations), Prosthetic make-up, music composition, guest actor in a drama series (Giancarlo Esposito), sound-editing in a comedy/drama half-hour series (two nominations), outstanding special visual effects, and stunt coordination for a drama series, limited series or movie.

Disney Plus Is Still Missing A Whole Lot Of Star Wars Content

- We Got This Covered
As one of the most popular and beloved brands on the planet that's endured for over 40 years as a monolithic presence in popular culture, it hardly came as a surprise that Star Wars was one of the main selling points of Disney Plus, with fans able to catch all of the movies and TV shows in one place.
After the revival of The Clone Wars and the first season of The Mandalorian turned out to be huge hits, the franchise's expansion on the Mouse House's in-house streaming service is set to continue at pace. Not only is Mando's second run due to arrive in October, but Clone Wars spinoff The Bad Batch was recently announced and the Obi-Wan Kenobi show is in the midst of a major creative overhaul.
However, there's still plenty of Star Wars content missing from Disney Plus, and the studio might

Long before Disney took over ABC and Lucasfilm, a made-for-television movie centered on the Ewoks was produced. The Ewok Adventure premiered in 1984 on ABC and was later shown on the big screen overseas under the title Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure. And in 1985, Ewoks: The Battle of Endor was released. While these movies have received mixed reviews by a lot of Star Wars fans over the years, there are still some who love them and wish Disney+ would officially start streaming them. Legendary poster artist and frequent Lucasfilm collaborator Drew Struzan just shared some of his original poster art for The Ewok Adventure and it's awesome.

New Star Wars Battlefront II Update Makes Ewok Movies Canon
- 10 March 2020
- by Joe Pring
- We Got This Covered
The latest update to arrive in Star Wars Battlefront II has resurrected an oft-forgotten chapter in some of the franchise's oldest lore.
Billed as a return to "classic Star Wars locations," a ton of new content first seen in George Lucas' Original Trilogy has steadily been making its way to the multiplayer shooter, with one major talking point being the Ewoks. Yavin 4, Hoth, Mos Eisley, Jabba's Palace and the Death Star II are just some of the iconic locales players can revisit as part of the so-called Age of Rebellion, with a certain forest moon of Endor also included in the list.
Perhaps most interestingly of all, though, is developer Dice's decision to make the satellite's native race of sentient teddy bears playable. Ewok Hunters join the Rebel forces in their quest to overthrow the Galactic Empire, with the aggressors themselves receiving fresh reinforcements in the form of a new unit,
Lucasfilm Reportedly Planning Young Adult Star Wars: The High Republic TV Show

In eight short years, Bob Iger's acquisition of Lucasfilm for a hefty $4.05 billion price tag has already paid enormous dividends, from Disney's five Star Wars films that earned an average of $1.18 billion each (even accounting for Solo: A Star Wars Story's underwhelming performance) to the opening of the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge sections of Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios to next year's debut of the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser wholly-immersive resort experience.
The company's streaming service Disney+ has also opened up a whole new world of storytelling possibilities in that galaxy far, far away. The Mandolorian became one of the most popular streaming series in the history of the medium, rocking the Internet with the unspoiled introduction of The Child, and the series is set to be followed by shows focusing on Rogue One's captain Cassian Andor and exiled Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

- GeekTyrant
As of right now, Lucasfilm is developing a couple of shows for Disney+ that include Jon Favreau's The Mandalorian and Diego Luna's Cassian Andor series. We also know that they are working on multiple other projects that have yet to be revealed.
Now according to a new report from Movie Hole, it's rumored that one of those projects could end up focusing on the Ewoks.
It would make sense to develop an Ewoks series, especially because it would most likely be geared towards kids. A live action Ewoks series could actually be fun! As someone who grew up with the Ewoks, thanks to Return of the Jedi, I'm actually a fan of the idea of an Ewok series.
I know not everyone likes the Ewoks, but if that's the case then this series isn't for you. While it would most likely be developed as a kids series,

Even though it's not considered to be canon, thanks Disney, The Ewok Adventure was considered a quick stab at finding a way to better influence children and convert them over to the idea of Star Wars back in the day. The story is about two children whose parents go missing on the forest moon of Endor. Eventually the brother and sister duo meet up with the Ewoks, who decide to accompany them on a dangerous quest to find their parents. Throughout the duration of the quest they are set upon by creatures both large and small that we never got

Narnia: The Silver Chair Is Director Joe Johnston's Final Movie

We haven't heard anything about The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair since late April, when director Joe Johnston signed on. Sony hasn't issued a formal release date at this time, but the filmmaker put in an appearance at Paris Comic Con, where he not only confirmed that production will begin next winter, with prep work starting next July, but also that this will be his last movie as a director. Here's what he had to say, when asked during an interview if this will in fact be his last directorial effort, while also confirming the production schedule.
"That's the plan. It will take a couple of years to make the film as we won't be able to start shooting next winter in New Zealand, on the South Island, which will be summer down there. And post and the visual effects will take another year and it'll be 2019, and I
