Aubree Miller and the Ewoks movies: Revisted

 






 People often forget that there were two Star Wars TV movies that came out after Return of the Jedi.  For many years, these movies and cartoon shows were the only SW things that came out between ROTJ and the prequels.  The Ewok movies were our only live-action SW content for a while.  So, we have the character Cindel Towani played by Aubree Miller.   

Very little is known about Miller.    


Aubree Miller, the star of the movies, has often been forgotten by the newer fans, like the two movies.  After the two Ewok films, Aubree Miller disappeared.  It is interesting that history repeated itself with a child actor leaving the field after showing up in an SW project.  She came out of IRL and did make a statement about Wilford Brimley.  In addition, she made a couple of convention appearances back in the early 2000s.  Keep in mind, that she was around 5-6 years old, and she is 43 today, closer to my age.  So, what happened?  Did she or her parents realize acting wasn’t for her?  Look at what happened to Jake Lloyd and Brian Bonsall.  


This is what she looks like today.





  

I also noticed that she has another credit under her name back in 2021 called Not Another Comedy Musical.  She played a dancer.  Looking throughout the comments, I agree that the IMDB listing might be wrong.   So, someone incorrectly listed her in this strange short.  Perhaps the actual Aubree Miller can clear this up in the comments below.  So, if you’re reading this, Aubree, drop knowledge in the comment section.   


Side Note:  I heard Wilford Brimley hated the two directors and refused to take direction from them, and they brought in Joe Johnston as the go-between.  I’d love to know about that.
