Star Wars fans can now browse a fresh batch of vintage content freshly added to Disney+.
The streaming platform on 2 April unveiled a vintage collection completing its – already extensive – Star Wars vault in the US and in the UK.
Five new Star Wars spinoffs are now available, beginning with both volumes of Star Wars: Clone Wars, 2003 animated micro-series developed by Genndy Tartakovsky. Each volume has a running time of a bit more than an hour.
Also added is The Story of the Faithful Wookie, a nine-minute animated short which originally formed part of the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special.
The new batch features plenty of Ewok-related content, with both seasons of the animated series Ewoks, which originally aired between 1985 and 1986, as well as the 1984 TV film Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and its 1985 sequel Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
