Celebrate the release of Rogue One with the original Star Wars spin-offs at Redgrave Theatre 14th December 2016

Bristol Bad Film Club will be screening Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor at the Redgrave Theatre on the 14th December 2016.

 

Bristol Bad Film Club are ending 2016 with something special and suitable for the whole family – the Star Wars spin-offs that no-one talks about (no, not the Holiday Special) the Ewok movies!

 

First aired on US TV in November 1984, Ewok Adventure (later titled Caravan Of Courage) followed the adventures of Cindel Towani, a young girl marooned on Endor. It was a ratings success and a sequel, Battle For Endor, quickly followed the next year.

 

The films aren't remembered much these days apart from the fact that Warwick Davis reprised his role as Wicket and Battle For Endor strangely featured Wilford Brimley (The Thing, Cocoon) who, to date, is the only Star Wars character that wears spectacles.

 

All profits raised from the screening will go to Little People UK – a charity that Warwick Davis is a patron of.  


Children under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult, and tickets are £6 each. Get yours here.
