Lots Of Rare STAR WARS Content Heading To Disney+ In April

Mar 17

It’s a good time to be a Star Wars fan if you have Disney+. The streaming service is planning to add some rare Star Wars content in April — some of which haven’t been available to fans for several decades. Several TV spinoffs from the 1970’s, 1980’s, and 2000’s are scheduled to make their Disney+ debut on April 2. Among them will be the animated short “The Story of the Faithful Wookiee” — featuring the debut of bounty hunter Boba Fett — from 1978’s infamous Holiday Special.

Joining “The Story of the Faithful Wookiee” will be two TV movies featuring the cute and cuddly Ewoks —1984’s Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and 1985’s Ewoks: The Battle for Endor; an animated “Ewoks” TV series that aired from 1985 to 1986.

Last but not least there’s the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars TV micro-series from Genndy Tartakovsky that aired on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005. These animated shorts predate the CG Clone Wars show. Very cool!
