Although Disney pass over theEwokmovies and all other Expanded Universe material from theStar Warscanon in 2012 , elements fromCaravan of Courage(such as the said Gorax ) begin appear in prescribed material as early as 2015’sUltimate Star Warsreference Koran . In April 2018 , EA and DICE make for one ofCaravan ’s strange constituent back into canon for the first time withBattlefront 2 ’s Ewok Hunt modality .
