The STAR WARS MINUTE is a daily podcast that humorously analyzes, scrutinizes and celebrates the STAR WARS saga one minute at a time. Each episode is devoted to spending 20 minutes or so discussing a single minute from the movies--every single minute, in order. We got through all 122 minutes of STAR WARS (A NEW HOPE) in 2013, covered THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK in 2014 and are currently examining RETURN OF THE JEDI (and, yes, we even devoted two live episodes to the STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL!). STAR WARS MINUTE is not affiliated with Lucasfilm or Disney.
Join the co-hosts of the famous Star Wars Minute podcast and their special guests as they analyze, scrutinize and celebrate the virtually-forgotten 1984 TV movie An Ewok Adventure: Caravan of Courage!

He found a magical amulet in an old trunk that was once owned by his great grandfather. It turns out that Stuart is the last remaining member of an ancient royal family of some bullshit fantasy world. Only he can set right what is wrong, and cast the Dark One back into the Abyss.
