Star Wars: Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure

Originally released in 1984 as a made-for-tv movie directed by John Korty, Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure focuses on a family of humans shipwrecked on the forest moon of Endor.

After the Gorax kidnapped the parents, their children team up with Ewoks in a quest to rescue them.

Here is the synopsis:

The Towani family’s starcruiser crashes 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, and her older brother, Mace, into the unfamiliar world of the Ewoks.

Star Wars: Ewoks: The Battle for Endor

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor is a sequel to Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, released in 1985. It was another made-for-tv movie, directed by Jim and Ken Wheat with a story by George Lucas.

Cindel is a little girl who joins her friends Noa, Wicket, and other Ewoks to battle a band of Marauders.

Here is the synopsis:

The exciting adventures of the Ewoks continue as the heroic Wicket and his young friend Cindel escape the evil Marauders with the help of their new allies, the gruff hermit Noa and his swift-footed sidekick, Teek.

Star Wars: The Story of the Faithful Wookiee
