History Film / StarWarsEwokAdventures

* LightIsNotGood: [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Exploited by the villains]], when [[spoiler:Charal]] takes the form of a beautiful golden haired maiden with a white dress and horse to [[spoiler:capture Cindel]].

* GiantSpider: The Rearing spider

* ChekovsGun: The gifts the shaman Ewok gives the caravan before they leave come in handy several times on the trip.

* MyNewGiftIsLame: The boy is visibly unimpressed with the very plain rock he gets, while everyone else gets cool toys. After an unsuccessful attempt to trade it for something else, he throws it away. Unfortunately they kinda ''need'' it much later on... [[spoiler: Fortunately one of the Ewoks had more sense and took the rock with him when the kid ditched it.]]

* KillItWithFire: When Wicket use his slingshot to destroy Charal ring which Terak wore in a pendant round his neck. The talisman shattered, releasing a great amount of energy, and the Marauder king was burned from the inside-out.

* ShapeshifterModeLock: The ultimate fate of Charal since the ring she use (which according to the expanded universe they were called Talismans of Transformation which were dark side artifacts used by the Nightsisters of Dathomir. They allowed their wearer to take the shape of another creature hers was the raven.) When her ring was destroyed she was [[AndIMustScream stuck in the form of a raven]].
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Barely 10 minutes into the film, Mace is killed, and so are both parents. Cindel is the only human protagonist from the first film to survive the second one. Considering how the goal of the first movie was to save the parents, it's a good example of a sequel making the previous work seem like a ShootTheShaggyDog.

!!Both movies contain examples of:

* OneSteveLimit: Averted; Mace Towani has the same name as Mace Windu from the prequels.

* [[spoiler:TakenForGranite: Terak]]

In the mid-1980s, two [[MadeForTVMovie Made-for-TV Movies]] based on the StarWars franchise were created: ''The Ewok Adventure'' (1984), later retitled ''Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure'',[[note]]Not to be confused with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravan_of_Courage_(series) a road trip taken by Hamish Blake and Andy Lee]][[/note]] and ''Ewoks: The Battle for Endor'' (1985). They star a young child, Cindel, whose family has crash-landed on Endor, and Wicket, the Ewok who befriended Leia in ''ReturnOfTheJedi''. The success of these movies led to an animated series, ''WesternAnimation/{{Ewoks}}'', which ran for two seasons. The main character, Cindel, got a cameo much later in an Expanded Universe novel as a reporter.

* GoodColorsEvilColors: Charal has black hair, wears a black dress, and has a black horse. [[spoiler:To trick Cindel, she takes the form of a beautiful young witch with blonde hair, wears a white dress, and has a white horse.]]

* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: The Ewoks fight goblinlike creatures that live in a Dark Ages castle, get dinosaur-looking aliens to pull their wooden wagons that use log-ends as wheels, and fight with laser pistols -- despite the fact that the [[AllThereInTheManual technical manuals]] clearly state that projectile weapons still are used in the ''StarWars'' galaxy.
