In the follow-up to Caravan of Courage, Cindel and Wicket befriend a hermit and his sidekick after marauders raid the Ewok village Cindel’s family had sought refuge in. We’re discussing another made for television Star Wars movie with our discussion of Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
Last month we dipped into the Star Wars Vintage Collection on Disney+ with a discussion of Ewoks: Caravan of Courage. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are diving into the sequel: The Battle for Endor. In this made for television movie, Cindel and Wicket are thrust into another adventure when marauders decimate the Ewok village and orphan Cindel. However, despite the terrible loss, Cindel and Wicket soon find new friends in Noa, a hermit living on Endor, and his companion, Teek. Join us as we discuss the characters, themes, and adventure found in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on The Battle for Endor,
- How this movie compares to Ewoks: Caravan of Courage,
- The tragic beginning of this movie and the themes of loss and grief,
- The special effects,
- Wilford Brimley (yes, that Wilford Brimley) and his performance as Noa,
- Charal, the space witch, and whether she is a Nightsister,
- Terak, the leader of the marauders,
- The influence of this movie on Star Wars going forward, and more.
