After a looooong dry spell....

As a Star Wars fan of only slightly less caliber than my beloved Indy series, I say that the Ewoks, in their own two movies, were great. In Jedi, however, they broke what amounted to a very involving story of redemption into smaller, non-involving bite-size bits. Bits that became less satisfying overall because of the constant sidetracking to Endor. Perhaps that is why the Ewoks are so widely despised by SW fandom. That, and the fact that I find it difficult to swallow (as do many others)that a massive crack military troop was brought down by what amounts to hunters. They aren't called *STORMTROOPERS* for nothing!!

I personally could do without them as they became the compromise financially for what would have been a wicked cool sequence on the wookie homeworld dealing with slavers. But then again, it STILL would have been sidetracking. Ah well....

A bit - o - trivia : The word "Ewok" is never so much as uttered ONCE during the entire film of Jedi. Go figure...
