They were even more lame than Yoda was, at the time I figured a muppet with Grover's voice was going to be tough to beat for stupid.  Lucas excelled.  The only good part about them was watching them get sizzled.

But in general I think ROTJ was the best one of the bunch.

Yes.  Gay as fuck.  O f course I was only 12 or so when it came out so I thought they were cute.

It is a bit of a plot hole. With all the resources and technology at the disposal of the Empire,  how did they miss those indigenous forest creatures? Or that the best troops the Empire had were bested by them?

Oddly enough ROTJ is stikl my favorite SW movie.

A military force capable of light speed travel was defeated by teddy bears with sticks and stones.

They shouldn’t have featured so prominently in RotJ. Should have been introduced in-movie as a native species on the Forest Moon and left on the sidelines...nothing more. Out-gunned and out-teched, facing a vastly superior fighting force; it was clown shoes.

When I saw ROTJ once the Ewoks came on I realized for the first time that SW now sucked. It was the beginning of the end of the franchise, no less. Jar jar was the death throws. How can GL be so talented and then just destroy the whole thing that fast. What an abomination.

It signaled Lucas’ fall to the dark side.

No, Yoda was.  I didn't wait two years with excitement just to have half the damn movie be Sesame Street.

^ GL could have tied it into some force like quality narrative and possibly have redeemed himself a bit but instead just decided to go full derp and totally sell out.

I went to see that movie when it came out with a bunch of high school friends and one them referred to ewoks as "teddy bear monsters" so that's what I always think of anytime someone brings up the subject.

Remember being in the theater and the kids
behind we're saying how much Ewoks suck.

I turned around and said stop complaining.

Because............

The Death Star will be along shortly to vaporize them all.

Ewoks wore  that stupid little head garb
because the seam between head and body

The weren't Jar Jar lame but they were fucking stupid.

They were actually supposed to be wookies, but Lucas didn't think he'd get to make all 3 movies so he introduced wookies.

I personally think ROTJ should have had the rebels know there was a small colony of wookies living in the woods on moon of endor, they had fled the wookie planet when the empire took it over....kind of like our survivalists talk about 'heading to the hills' the space equivalent is 'head to some unknown moon!' and just by bad (or good) luck the empire then picks the same spot to build the deathstar II.

Rebel would have been to mimic the Green Berets.  Sneak onto the moon with a dozen guys and crates of weapons and a plan to convince the locals to take up arms against the enemy.  Except of course you are giving wookies blasters not Montangyards M-1 carbnes.

Would have eliminated all sorts of bad shit in that movie, like 3PO being seen as a god, rocks dropped from hang-gliders made of bark and leather...but allowed some stuff like log-traps toppling walkers as well as brute force bludgeoning attacks working okay against armored opponents.

During the crazy toy rush ROTJ caused,  Hasbro wanted to get in on the action.

Zartan's Dreadnok motorcycle gang in GIJoe was originally going to be an ewok knockoff but Larry Hama put his foot down and that was stopped.

That would have been far superior to Ewoks.
