The release was billed as Star Wars: Ewok Adventures, a "double feature" of Caravan of Courage and its sequel, The Battle for Endor. The disc itself is double-sided, featuring one film on each side. The DVD release featured no extras.
Ewoks was released on DVD on November 23, 2004 as an edited compilation under the title Star Wars Animated Adventures: Ewoks. It contains eight episodes of the original series, edited together as two full-length films. Episodes 2, 1, 3, and 9 were edited together to make The Haunted Village, and episodes 10, 5, 4, and 13 were edited together to make Tales from the Endor Woods. The Haunted Village combines four loosely related episodes into one story, while Tales from the Endor Woods connects four seemingly unrelated stories via a voiceover by Alex Lindsay intended to be an adult Wicket. The original opening credits and theme song are not included as part of the films, and were replaced with simple credit sequences.
Droids was released on DVD on November 23, 2004 as an edited compilation under the title Star Wars Animated Adventures: Droids. It contains eight episodes of the original series, edited together as two full-length films. Episodes 5–8 were edited together to make The Pirates and the Prince, and episodes 10–13 were edited together to make Treasure of the Hidden Planet. The Pirates and the Prince combines four of the five episodes of the Mon Julpa arc into one story, while Treasure of the Hidden Planet combines the four episodes of the Mungo Baobab arc into one story. Though "Coby and the Starhunters" was originally part of the Mon Julpa story arc, the episode isn't included in the feature version. The original opening credits and theme song are not included as part of the films, and were replaced with simple credit sequences. Besides cutting the theme song of the series, many other small modifications were made for the home video releases, most notably changes to the soundtrack.
The first volume of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated television series was released on DVD on March 22, 2005. It comprises seasons one and two, which in turn are made up of Chapters 1–20. The DVD also includes following features:

Unlike every other DVD release of a Star Wars film, Revenge of the Sith was released without any noticeable (upon first viewing) alterations by George Lucas from the film's digital theatrical cut. A closer inspection, however, revealed one change: there used to be a fade between the scene where Obi-Wan Kenobi leaves Mustafar, and the scene where Vader climbs away from the lava, which was removed from the DVD release. This was also the first DVD release not to contain a secret blooper reel of footage from filming as an easter egg. Instead it contains a rap video with a dancing Yoda and clone troopers.
