DVD Reviews of Star Wars Ewok Adventures - Caravan of Courage (aka The Ewok Adventure) / The Battle for Endor
DVD Review: Star Wars Ewok Adventures
Summary: 5 Stars
These two movies were just a memorable as I remembered.
The discs were in excellent shape and I enjoyed watching them with my 4 yrs Old & 9 yrs old grandsons just as much as I enjoyed watching them with my son (their father) when he was younger.
DVD Review: Castles, dungeons, horses, swords, magic, dragons, and a moat... on Endor?!?
Summary: 2 Stars
I love children's movies, I love Ewoks, and I've been a huge Star Wars fan since it first appeared in 1977 when I was 6 (I saw it about 8 times in the theater with my dad). So I don't mind the 'kiddie' feel of these films or the subject; I know these movies are geared toward kids who love Ewoks, and in fact I watched them myself on TV when I was a kid.
I just got this double feature DVD and watched them again.
One thing not present in either movie is the big Ewok city in the trees. Was it out of their budget range? There was about an eighth of the number of Ewoks in these movies as in ROTJ. And they all apparently lived on the ground.
"Caravan of Courage" is okay. 3 stars. You can sort of believe the Ewoks could perhaps invoke some mystical powers because of their druidic culture. And the story is semi-believable. It has a couple of the other Ewoks from ROTJ besides just Wicket. It is chok full of scary creatures and scenes that could really frighten young children, though, so make sure your kids are mature enough for this. I'd say at least 7, preferably 8 yrs old.
"The Battle for Endor," however, is absolutely awful (though not as scary). 0 stars. Witches, castles, dungeons, horses, swords, magic, dragons, rocky plains, and a moat... on Endor?!? It's the wreckage from a collision between Star Wars and Dungeons & Dragons. (It gave me a jolt kind of like if Frodo had suddenly pulled out a blaster to shoot orcs.) I am astounded that George Lucas was the creative force behind this travesty! It's ridiculous. I couldn't figure out if I was in the Star Wars universe or in Labyrinth/Legend! I mean, does no one else watching these see the really bad mix of genres here -- classic fantasy stuck right into the middle of a sci-fi world?
And the plot is soooo bad. Poor Cindel's whole family dies in the first 5 minutes of the movie, and she barely sheds a tear. When she really cries is when she has to say goodbye to Wicket and leave Endor with her new crusty old stranded-pilot-hermit friend. Riiiiggghhht. And there are so many other gaping plot holes. *sigh* that's 2 hours I'll never get back!
Of course, kids won't care about plot holes - so if you're thinking of buying this for children who love Star Wars, they'll probably like it. But only if they like Ewoks... and only if you're not a Star Wars purist who doesn't want their kids exposed to something that takes sooooo many liberties with the Star Wars universe.
DVD Review: star wars ewok adventures
Summary: 5 Stars
I GAVE THIS MOVIE AS A GIFT. THE RECEIVER REALLY LIKED THE MOVIE. THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION OF THE MOVIES CONDITION WAS ACCURATE. I WILL PROBABLY DO BUSSINESS WITH THEM IN THE FUTURE. DVD Review: The Star Wars series didn't forget forget about the children in the audience.
Summary: 5 Stars
This 1984 / 1985 double feature from the Star Wars series is aimed at the children in the theatres. I found these two additions to the Star Wars series to be very entertaining.
The costumes and stage sets are excellent, a lot of color and adventure that any child could relate to. The content in this double feature is very careful. I see no reason why a child couldn't watch these films alone.
I have this DVD in my personal movie collection. It's a keeper!

DVD Review: Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently bought this off Amazon. I grew up on both movies so I obviously loved it. My boyfriend not so much. He said he did not have the advantage of watching it as a child, as these movies are made for kids, I can see where he is coming from. They are a little cheesy and dated; however, Battle for Endor is by far the best "non" Star Wars/Star Wars movie... a true classic in my book.
