★⭐️ Star Wars: The legends trilogy ⭐️★ (The Holiday Special and two Ewok films)-- Worse than the prequels!

I would appreciate ideas for Jar Jar Binks: A star wars story here.

STAR WARS: THE LEGENDS TRILOGY
An obscure trilogy of mediocrity in a galaxy far, far away…

Currently in Star Wars, there appear to be two trilogies:
  • Prequel
  • Original
There are also two trilogies that are not done yet:
  • Sequel
  • Anthology (“A star wars story” films)
And there will be an untitled trilogy and an untitled film series, according to Wikipedia and Wookieepedia.

But there is another trilogy, the legends trilogy. Its films are, from first to last:
The links go to Wikipedia so you can learn about these films.

The legends films are made-for-television films and television specials made during the late 70s and the early mid 80s. They take place during the original trilogy. These films are non-canonical and extremely bad. On rotten tomatoes:
  • “Star Wars Holiday Special” has a 33% rating and a 19% audience score.
  • “Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure” has a 25% rating and a 44% audience score.
  • “Ewoks: The Battle for Endor” has an unknown rating and a 51% audience score.
These ratings are worse than the prequels (with the exception of The Clone Wars film, but that was technically a standalone). I'm not even joking.

Since these films are so mediocre and so forgotten, why should we care? We should care about this forgotten trilogy because its part of the Star Wars family. We should also talk about it because it is the most kid-friendly Star Wars trilogy– the first and last films of the trilogy are NR and the other film is G– and Scratch is a children's website.

Also, you can watch the Star Wars Holiday Special and Ewoks: Battle for Endor on Youtube, but Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure isn't on Youtube as a full movie, sadly.

So, what do you think of this trilogy? What do you like about it? What were some funny moments? Etc. Make sure to discuss the legends trilogy in this thread.

Notes:
  • I'm the first person I know of to call these films a trilogy.
  • The legends trilogy is semi-anthology.
  • The legends trilogy can be compared to the anthology trilogy.
  • This topic is not part of the Official Star Wars Discussion because the Official Star Wars Discussion does not usually talk about the legends trilogy.
  • The title and subtitle at the top of this post are not colored in Star Wars colors, but in SPACE-O colors. If I could add a black background, I would change the title to yellow and the subtitle to blue.
  • There is also a “trilogy” of three non-canonical star wars television shows. These shows are Droids, Ewoks, and Clone Wars.
  • The only two Star Wars movies as bad as the legends trilogy are The Clone Wars film (from the ratings and audience score) and The Last Jedi (from the audience score).
  • The original forum thread for discussion of the Star Wars Holiday Special is here.

Another thing, I wouldn't exactly call it a trilogy. The two ewok films go together, but the holiday special doesn't go with them.

You're right. But I will still continue to call the films a trilogy, even if it does not make sense (which would support my opinion that the films are terrible).
