The new "Star Wars" trailer

I think so, too. Of course, I was 6 years old when it came out, the precise target audience for them. It didn't occur to me until years later that they were anything but a positive in the film.

My problem with the Ewoks is probably a little different than some others': I just don't think there were enough of them, if that makes sense. I can buy the idea that a civilization familiar with the landscape can overcome other deficiencies and vanquish the enemy. But there weren't more than a few dozen ewoks. The Endor battle should have been massive. It should have been Gettysburg. Thousands of Ewoks. Casualties evident.

 

Four score and seven bears ago ...

 

Let's hope there will be tens of thousands of Ewok corpses in the new movie.

 

Don't forget, the original version of "Jedi" had the Ewok celebration song at the end. It made you want to puncture your eardrums as you left the theater.

 

I like how in the closing shot all the white people are sitting there smiling while Lando is getting down.

 

But then how do we define a "moderate" Jedi?

 

That's it. Nobody with a lightsaber is allowed in this country!

 

There are none. They all follow the Book of Yoda and wear sandals. And you never hear them denounce an attack by rebels.

 

I had to look that up. I'm younger and never saw Star Wars until the special editions released in theater's in the 90's. My God is that song terrible. Sounds like something written for a low-budget documentary on chimpanzees. Let's give Lucas credit that he did at least one thing right in the special editions by replacing the music for that scene.

 

208 "fresh."

13 "rotten."

95 percent.

 

It's all depending on which generation you're part of. Jedi was the first movie I remember seeing in the theaters. I loved that song. I think it sucks that the ending of Jedi is so different than it was in '83, and that song is part of it. Yub yub!
