Episode #161 - Ewok Extravaganza Part I: Caravan of Courage

Scavenger's Hoard: A Star Wars Podcast

In this episode, Rachael and Kirsty begin by running through the episodes of 'The Bad Batch' that have been shown since their last episode (we'll be revisiting the show in depth once the season is over). We then begin a new podcasting saga exploring the EWOK DUOLOGY (yes, that is the correct parlance). Join us for a deep dive into the Caravan of Courage, taking you from George Lucas being a good dad (™) to Campbellian narrative influences and the changing face of Mace and Cindel’s dad. We also explore the deeper ideology underlining the film, touching upon the unsettling implications of Ewoks sacrificing their lives to help restore the American Nuclear Family to wholeness. (Just for the avoidance of doubt, the above is an accurate representation of the podcast’s contents.) Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.
