Over the past weekend, actor legend Wilford Brimley passed away at the age of 85, prompting fans to reflect on his legacy and celebrate his many accomplishments. Despite the film being made for television, Star Wars fans remembered Brimley’s performance in Ewoks: Battle for Endor, where he played the role of Noa, a man who lived alone on the Moon in the Forest of Endor who met young Cindel and became her protector. The actress who played Cindel, Aubree Miller, shared her sympathies for the actor’s passing, while noting that she was so young during filming that she did not recall specific encounters with the character.

“I was saddened to hear the news of Wilford Brimley’s passing,” the actress shared with FanthaTracks. “I was so young during the shoot that I don’t have any specific memories of working with him. I know it was always fun to be on set and I can only imagine it was his kindness that made him so enjoyable. I am sad for his family. and they are in my prayers. “

Following the conclusion of the original Star Wars film trilogy in 1983, audiences still hoped for more adventures in the galaxy far, far away, which led to the two TV movies, An Ewok Adventure: Caravan of Courage in 1984 and Battle for Endor in 1985. These weren’t the first Star Wars specials, with the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special debuted in 1978, but what made the Ewok movies different was that franchise creator George Lucas himself helped create these two TV movies, although he wasn’t directly involved in their achievement.

Caravan of Courage takes place between the events of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, representing a family that washed up on the Moon in the forest of Endor. The two siblings of the family are separated from their parents, with the Ewoks stepping in to help the family reunite and leave the moon.

Battle for Endor begins with young Cindel abandoning her family as they are killed, the Ewoks helping care for her until her path crosses with Noa, the couple finding themselves stranded in the middle of a massive battle between the natives of the Moon Forest of Endor.

Since these adventures were made in TV movie form, the events of these trips are not officially canon, although last year’s season 1 of The Mandalorian saw our heroes ride blurgg creatures, who got their start in these projects, scoring for a blossoming Easter egg in this forgotten corner of the galaxy far, far away.
