Trivia
The Ewokese words heard in this adventure translate into English as follows:
Yehah = Goodbye
Yubnub = Hooray
Acha = All right
Gunda = Good/Yummy
Feech = Dang
Lurdo = Loser
Tyatee = Come
Kush = Who/what
Roda = Eat
Chak = Yes
Jeeks = That
Den = No

Goofs
Mace's effort to rescue his parents from the cage are pointless since the gaps are already big enough for them to fit through and the rope is in the cage to begin with.

Quotes
Narrator: Our story begins in a time long, long ago, deep in an enchanted forest on the distant moon of Endor.

Alternate versions
Comparing the original VHS release (which is presumably what originally aired on television) to the 2004 DVD release (a double feature with "Ewoks: Battle for Endor"), the following changes are noted:
The on-screen title has changed from "The Ewok Adventure" to "Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure".
The beginning credits have been retyped; they look virtually the same, but a comparison shows them to be smaller in font size.
The end credits have been retyped as well. Not only are they much smaller in font size, but they run 1 1/2 minutes longer as many new credits were added (so many people were not credited in the VHS release).

Connections

Interesting

Some things to keep in mind when watching this movie: 1) It was made for TV. 2) It was 1984, and 3) It was intended for children. Although many people think this is just a cheap movie made to capitalize on the popularity of the Star Wars films, I see this film and it's sequel as an interesting way to look at the Star Wars Universe when Luke and company aren't around. It's not perfect, but neither was Phantom Menace, after all.

P.S.: I'm not in any way saying Phantom Menace was a bad movie, it was one of my favorite movies of 1999. I'm just saying it's not perfect. Anything less than A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back has to live with that fact.
