honestly, everybody loves that part. but i only recall one actually getting killed. at least that's all you officially see.
why doesn't lucas "reimagine" jedi and CGI out all those damn ewoks and replace them with wookies like he originally intended but couldn't afford to do back then???

Children are cheaper. That's why he used them for Jawas as well.

He actually didn't use Wookies because he had already established them as a race that was familiar with technology, while the Ewoks were more primitive and hadn't had any contact with species off of their planet.
Also, Ewoks are awful, and they were the beginning of the end of Star Wars as anything other than a series of commercials for action figures.
While Lucas came up with the idea for Willow and was executive producer, I don't think he had that much to do with the details. It was mostly Ron Howard and Val Kilmer's nasty teeth.
I actualy don't understand why Return of the Jedi gets so much hate? I can understand not liking the Ewoks, but its because of the Ewoks that people think this movie sucks?
ROTJ is my favroite of the orignal three because of the confrotation bewteen Luke, Vader and the Emporer.
@ 10:06 Anon: A Future Serial Killer would be that quiet, polite kid in the corner that hides his disorders behind a veil of normality. This kid's just going to grow up to be a Juvenile Delinquent.
@jason quinones & Gabriel: He didn't use Wookiees in Ep6 because he felt that they were already too familiar to the viewer, thanks to Chewbacca being a major character through the previous two movies. Kashyyyk was only going to be a setting when all three movies were still going to be bundled up into one.
There is no reason there couldn't be different groups of Wookiees (Did I spell that right? It's super important.) with different levels of technology just as, right here in our own galaxy, there are groups of humans with different levels of technology.
Had I been an adult in 1984 I wouldn't like the Ewoks, but I was 4 or 5 years old. I was part of the target audience so they are nostalgic. I was in college when JarJar made his debut so it ruined the movie.
Sociopaths are SO cute at that age!
ReplyDeleteYeesh. I could see the Ewoks not being your FAVORITE part but yikes. What a little creep.
ReplyDeleteHe may be a little short to be a Stormtrooper, but his delight in genocide makes up for it.
ReplyDeleteBull. Literally only one Ewok is killed on screen. His name is Corpsey.
ReplyDelete"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Ewoks?"
ReplyDeleteI'm with that kid. Any true Star Wars fan should have a hatred of Ewoks that rivals their hatred of Jar-Jar.
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:11 please, don't ever group Ewoks with Jar-Jar. Ewoks were ready to kill and eat people. Jar-Jar was just stupid.

I wonder if anyone told him the Empire are meant to be the bad guys?

ReplyDeleteThat's also why Star Wars merchandise is made in China, too.
George Lucas is a douche, and that kid is a
ReplyDeletepsychotic douche.

ReplyDeleteBecause you'd blow the Chewbacca Defense.
I never heard about the Wookie thing. It's seems in that case, Endor would have been a murder fest fueled by pure furry rage.
ReplyDeleteNot all of the ewoks were children. Most of them were the same "little people" he used for Willow.

And the Empire will be defeated by EWOKS!
ReplyDeleteYou can dropkick Ewoks in the free DLC for the not too good Force Unleashed 2, if you have any Ewok rage you need to work through.
ReplyDeleteCan you say "Future Serial Killer"

ReplyDeleteI don't think we have to worry...
ReplyDeleteHe has a long way to go to catch up to that mass-murderer Skywalker. 1,200,000+ on the Defense Station Étoile de la mort.
