Watch a Fun Fan-Edit of CARAVAN OF COURAGE: AN EWOK ADVENTURE
If you've never seen the 1984 Star Wars film Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, I've got a real treat for you today. Even if you have seen it, this is definitly worth checking out. What I have here is a fan-made edit of the film.
The video was recut by Shahab Zargari, who says, "Lots of things sucked about this movie on top of the unneeded voiceover and the inclusion of rabbits, ferrets, and llamas (serious!). So I took it all out!"
The result is a fun cleaner version of the film that I think you all might get a kick out of watching. Here's a detailed breakdown of the changes that you'll find in this new version of the film:
Aside from shuffling scenes around in order to achieve a more fulfilling and less boring storyline with no vague subplots (moved the opening sequence from the original edit into the middle of the film, as an example, to be presented in a flashback style) and deleting most of the sub-par acting these are the major changes:
-Cut out all voiceovers
-Slowed film down by 4% in order to give gravity to certain situations but more importantly make Mace sound more like he's 14 and not 9. That kid had such a wimpy whiny voice!!
-Cut the opening hang glider scene where the father Ewok looks for his missing two sons: unnecessary
-Cut out all Llamas, Rabbits, Ferrets, Owls and a silly tree-puppet close-up
-When the werewolf creature has the siblings caught in a hollow tree, somehow they fall asleep for a few hours until they hear fighting again--cut this out: unnecessary
-Cut the scene where Wickett scares the horse causing it to run away until the ewoks can catch it again before they continue to caravan: unnecessary
-After the fairy dance the caravan eats and goes to sleep again, cut this: unnecessary
-On the way to Gorax, Cendel peaks out from her horse buggy, cut this: unnecessary
-Removed all instances of the giant spider puppet's visible strings
-Deleted the Spider attacking Wickett and Cendel: unnecessary
-Deleted Mace saying goodbye to his fairy friend: unnecessary
