#they're probs bangin tho

i was scouring the wookieepedia page for armor to find a cool alternative to mando armor, and i just fell down an absolute rabbit hole

girl WHAT. who IS this. naturally, i looked up what the fuck this was from, and i found out it's from a tv movie titled ewoks: the battle for endor (1985), starring warwick davis as wicket w. warrick and some other people who i don't recognize. it's the sequel to another tv movie called caravan of courage: an ewok adventure (1984), also with warwick davis. i vaguely remember seeing some really short clips from this in i believe a yt lore video or video essay? i think i just assumed it was from the holiday special, because there's so much crazy shit in there which i only half remember due to being shitfaced when i watched it forever ago

so, i looked up the trailers out of curiosity. they're both absolutely wild, but i think the sequel's trailer is just a little bit more bananas

i obviously looked up the full movies on youtube, but no dice. i then googled the titles, preparing to look for pirate streaming sites, and then? i realized they're both on disney+

so is my beloved clone wars '03, the story of the faithful wookiee, which i think is taken from the holiday special (?), droids, which i've seen bits of on yt, and the ewoks cartoon, which i know a little bit about only due to quintonreviews. apparently, they've put a lot of this stuff up since 2021, which is the last time i checked the disney's catalog of older star wars content

elated by this discovery, i'm sure you can guess what i searched next on the app

alas, disney are spineless cowards who, despite allowing the ewok duology on their precious prestigious platform AND lifting the wookiee segment straight from the special itself, are far too afraid of the absolute masterpiece that is the og holiday special 😔

#len speaks #star wars #sorry this post is a MESS but i've literally never realized these were their own movies and not just a hazy memory from the holiday special #binge drinking incident of 2019. i'm utterly flabbergasted. i'm gonna put off rewatching r.ots & starting the dreaded ke.nobi show in order #to watch these ASAP. i'll also probably indulge if they're bad-bad rather than good-bad bc a man has to cope somehow #and i have a question for y'all: did y'all know abt these two films? have i been slacking off as a certified obscure sw lore lover? how was #i aware of star wars detours but not this? also. if anyone has any bits of detours which i've heard might be floating around on the #net - PLEASE send me a link. i've already seen everything on yt but i haven't had my fill of psychic damage inducing lvls of cringe yet #anyway. i was going to go back to my search for bangin armor on wookieepedia but i'm getting insanely tired so i'll probs just give it a #rest. that means i also can't watch these movies until at least tomorrow☹ i will 100% keep y'all posted on my thoughts on these films tho!
