What makes 'Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure' fascinating to revisit on its 40th anniversary is how disconnected it feels from modern Star Wars, like it spawned from a different franchise.
The movie is remarkably paced like a leaking molasses bottle and relies too heavily on child actors, but it stands out for its innocence and simplicity.

With 'Caravan of Courage,' Lucasfilm explored storytelling in a detached setting from the Skywalker Saga, reflecting a time when the future of Star Wars was uncertain.
