As Willow continues his story on Disney Plus, Lucasfilm look back to the 1988 original and the story of the infant Elora Danan and her adventures with Willow Ufgood and his own young family in the latest Lucasfilm Defining Moment.
Making a dangerous trek across mountains and valleys, the midwife Ethna takes the baby far away with their relentless foes in constant pursuit. After some time has passed, soldiers of the Queen and their terrifying Death Dogs finally catch up near the banks of the River Freen. A heroic Ethna quickly makes a small raft of twigs and grass and sends the baby downstream before meeting a horrific end.
Floating peacefully along the river, the child is seemingly in the hands of fate. Or is it chance? Or perhaps a little of both? Whatever the nature of her odyssey downstream, the little raft soon finds a mooring along the banks of a humble farm. There she’s found by Willow Ufgood’s children, Ranon and Mims, who along with their mother Kiaya instantly take a liking to the girl. Willow, by contrast, is nervous about the mysterious appearance and fears it could lead to trouble.
