As you know, I am a huge Star Wars fan (yes, even Episode I with Jar Jar Binks). I will watch anything Star Wars. I like some of the movies more than others but in my mind, any Star Wars movie is awesome and worth watching. So far, there are 8 main Star Wars movies and 2 spin-off or Star Wars Story movies. Or are there? There happens to be a few movies that you may not be aware of. These movies were made early in the Star Wars franchise history and went straight to TV. Two of these movies were a spin-off for the Ewoks.
The two Ewok movies consist of The Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor. These two movies make up the Ewok Adventures. So, let’s just be honest. These two movies went straight to TV for a reason. The acting isn’t super awesome and they are classic B-rated movies. But somehow, the poor acting, unbelievable special effects, and unlikely story lines are so bad, that it makes these movies awesome! They are totally cult classics that every Star Wars fan (and all of their closest friends) have to see.
They can be a bit tricky to find on DVD but you can buy them used through the Amazon market place or on Ebay (which is where I bought mine). So do yourself a favor and watch these movies at least once. Next time there is a rainy day and you don’t feel like doing anything, watch these movies. They are guaranteed to lift your spirits. If nothing else, they will definitely give you a few laughs and something to talk about at the next party you go to.
If you are a true Star Wars fan, you’ll watch them. Just sayin…..
