One of the most compelling aspects of this particular Ewok-centric venture is the child actor who stole the show: Aubree Miller, playing the role of Cindel Towani.
Born on February 15, 1979, Miller was just a young child when she landed the role that would make her a part of the Star Wars universe. Acting opposite Warwick Davis, who reprised his role as Wicket the Ewok, Miller's performance captivated a specific segment of the Star Wars fanbase.
Miller's decision to step away from acting has lent her an air of enigma. In a world where every action of celebrities is documented and dissected, the absence of information feeds curiosity. This scarcity has turned her into a somewhat mythic figure among niche Star Wars communities who wonder what could have been had she pursued a different path.
Interestingly, the relative obscurity surrounding Miller has not led to a decline in interest in "Caravan of Courage" or its sequel, The Battle for Endor. On the contrary, they have seen something of a renaissance. The films are now available on Disney+, and a new generation of fans is discovering them for the first time. Miller's portrayal of Cindel Towani continues to captivate young audiences, much like it did in the 1980s.

After the success of "Caravan of Courage," Miller reprised her role in the sequel, "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" (1985). The film received a mixed response but has since earned a cult following. However, despite the potential for a super sweet Hollywood career trajectory, Miller largely stepped back from acting. She appeared in a handful of TV roles, but her screen career ended as quickly as it began.
What followed for Miller is a life that many would call 'normal,' a departure from the celebrity lifestyle one might expect from a Star Wars alum. She went on to pursue an education, and her social media presence is minimal.

Details are scarce, but it appears Miller chose a path that veers more toward personal satisfaction rather than public recognition.

That was a well written piece on the actress. For Some reason tonight the name Cindel entered my mind and took me back 40 years to sitting in front of the tv in 1984 watching this tv mini movie series. Unlike the Holiday Special it was a very good and memorable story and acted and played well. I still like it. I should find it on streaming somehow and watch it again sometime.
