You might have missed this post yesterday as for some reason it appeared on StarWars.com a couple of posts down the list, so have a read of my look back to Caravan of Courage, including a few words with Aubree Miller, Warwick Davis and Eric Walker from the Insider 2015 Special Edition and Episode 19 of RADIO 1138.
On November 25, 1984, after the blistering box office success of Return of the Jedi, the diminutive furry heroes of that film made their own live action return as the stars of their very own ABC Sunday Night Movie. Running a lean 96 minutes long, The Ewok Adventure hit the airwaves to fantastic viewing figures (65 million viewers, the second highest for an ABC movie that year) and nominations for two Emmys (for Outstanding Children’s Programming and Outstanding Special Visual Effects, with the film winning the latter). A simple tale of a family split apart and shipwrecked on the magical moon of Endor, the film was inspired largely by Amanda Lucas, George’s daughter, who had a deep affection for the Ewoks.
