Ain't no party like an Ewok party...
atarioAug 14, 2010
'Cuz an Ewok party bok chuu-ock.
drew101Aug 14, 2010
can i get a "Yub Yub"!
badqatAug 13, 2010
Am I the only one that thinks they should have grilled and eaten the ewoks?
peanutcheesebarAug 14, 2010
Yub yub? More like yum yum!
badqatAug 14, 2010
Exactly. They look like they'd be tasty grilled over a fire pit.
harrypowersAug 13, 2010
Your first instinct is always right.
ryanwbAug 13, 2010
So their hypothesis is that if a character dies, no kid would want to own his or her toy?
barf314Aug 13, 2010
Exactly. Just like how NOBODY had a Boba Fett.
badqatAug 14, 2010
Boba Fett was initially offered as a "free" action figure with proof of purchase of other action figures before Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back was released.
And I actually was Boba Fett the year before ESB was released at Halloween.
sjbdallasAug 14, 2010
And remember how big of a seller Darth Maul crap was?
badqatAug 14, 2010
I was disappointed Darth Maul only lasted the one film :(

I miss the ewok song that goes yub nub, ichachi yub nub. atomi topecheki teka freh noaaa!
spacem00seAug 13, 2010
Geeze, I cant stand that song. My little brother had to sing that at some school event. So for weeks he was singing that stupid song and decades later, it still stuck in my head.

I could have dealt with the Ewoks. I could have.
Then they tossed Jar Jar into the mix.
jordanlgtaAug 14, 2010
The thing is that the ewoks are not that bad. In fact, they're good. It's popular to diss them, but in the history of things people diss, the ewoks are the coolest of the bunch.

What's wrong with "HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN!!!!!!" ?
gongjimeinAug 15, 2010
In the latest version of Return of the Jedi, they replaced Anakin Skywalker with Hayden Christensen.

schudog3Aug 14, 2010
Very similar vein to The Searchers
ivenomiAug 14, 2010
The Ewoks had no frigging idea why they were celebrating!
Here we have a very primitive, although somewhat intelligent species, and you tell them. "We blew up a giant space station, ending the reign of the evil Galactic Empire."
Ewoks shoulda been all "lolwut?"
But instead partied like it was 1999999 (BC of course, a long time ago, far away galaxy. Yada yada)
mistrbrownstoneAug 14, 2010
since BC counted backwards, wouldn't you party when it was 2000000?
galoreAug 14, 2010
No, you'd party like it was 2000001

George Lucas is a dumb sack of s**t and the 2 best star wars movies weren't even directed by him.
rotundoAug 14, 2010
Okay, Empire... but which of the others are you saying is better than Episode IV?
kikinouAug 14, 2010
Perhaps you could show us YOUR space opera then, since you know so much?
ssomu007Aug 14, 2010
No Idea about this movie. Animal is instinct.
grabateAug 14, 2010
I'm sure for the Blu Ray release, all Ewoks are replaced with Gungans.
kapsonAug 14, 2010
Also, Luke Skywalker dissapears, and Leia becomes the Queen.
I think ending like that would be better. It hurts the toy sales sure, and the young viewers are dissapointed by it, but it would make a better film overall.

Wow, just spent a 1/2 hour reading that whole thing. I really admire that guy, and wish ... oh how I wish he was in Lucas's spot instead of the big teddy bear who doesn't understand how to make a good movie (anymore).

Wow. Another Star Wars post. Awesome. Third one on the front page today.
Digg--please make a separate Star Wars category so I can block s**t regarding 25-year-old sci movies. Thanks.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
emkaysmithAug 14, 2010
So, a film is s**t because it's older than you are? So much for Cary Grant, Bette Davis, James Cagney, and "Citizen Kane," I guess.
betteroffedAug 14, 2010
No. I didn't say that at all. I actually love the movie. I'm just saying the submission is s**t.
So are pictures of Star Wars cupcakes, a dude in a Boba Fett costume changing his oil, a Death Star made out of legos, a video of two guys having light saber battle, pictures of a douche in a Darth Vader costume sitting on the toilet with a caption that says "The Power of the Dark Side", and pretty much every other Star Wars digg submission.

Exactly. I'm not at all saying these things shouldn't be submitted. Just make a category/sub-category for it. There's enough to warrant that.
And in all fairness, there's enough s**t for an "Apple" category as well.
remingtonhAug 14, 2010
it's s**t because it's f-ing star wars. I used to beat up star wars watching dorks in school. I'm thinking of starting again.

Oh don't worry... I was fully prepared for the Geek Bury Brigade.
tearlockAug 14, 2010
As a child of maybe 6 years of age, I loved the ending to RotJ when it was released. Sue me, I was a kid, they beat the bad guys, they were celebrating, and I was celebrating right along with them on top of my parents' station wagon. (We saw it at the drive-in, ah those were the days) So I still love the ending today for the same reason I still love Mikey's cheesy "It's our time down here" monologue in The Goonies. Sure it's nostalgia, because it's associated with a positive memory of enjoyment. I say sometimes, you gotta lay your cynicism aside and embrace that part of you that still buys extra cheese.
jeebugornAug 14, 2010
nicely put. i too remember celebrating the rebels winning at the end of RotJ. also, had an ewok stuffed animal as a kid too. so, i was right there with ya until you mention The Goonies and that put you over the top. super-dugg......although that still only counts as a +1

Hey George, still wondering why The Empire Strikes Back is the best of the series ?
cyrockerAug 14, 2010
Randal Graves: Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back"?
Dante Hicks: "Empire".
Randal Graves: Blasphemy.
Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.

truth. empire was the best of the series.
uselesstriviaAug 14, 2010
I'm not sure I like the "original ending" idea. Luke walks off into the sunset alone? Han Solo is dead?
I guess I'm looking at it through the lens of my childhood, but I really liked the happy ending.

This was SWs not some dark epic tale, I am glad we got the happy ending.
holysinAug 14, 2010
So, people (at least this author) is depressed because han wasn't killed off and we were able to have the books about han and leila's children???
Cry me a river, I like Han (in the movies) and the books were pretty decent. so **** off.
fuzzynyankoAug 14, 2010
To be honest, they could have put into the story somewhere that Leia got pregnant before Han died
zenmojoAug 14, 2010
When I was a kid I didn't know there was more than one Star Wars movie, and I never rented or owned a copy (I wasn't really a fan). So I would watch every time hoping for the "alternate ending" with Luke losing his hand.
jordanlgtaAug 14, 2010

eugenetabiscoAug 14, 2010
Han being killed after impregnating Leia, thus continuing the Jedi offspring, would have been pretty awesome. Luke walking off into seclusion, like Obi Wan before him, would have been much more meaningful.
Lucas cares more about cute and dolls than being true to a story. It was more than apparent in Return of the Jedi and continued with the prequels.
readmeAug 14, 2010
Lando was supposed to die too, in fact it was filmed that way but test audiences didn't like it. It's the whole reason Han says, "I have a feeling I'll never see her again" when he looks at the Falcon before shipping of to Endor.

madrigalianAug 14, 2010
The Ewoks were originally supposed to be Wookies. But Lucas did the Wookie tv pilot series' and they bombed. Focus groups blamed the wookies for being "scary" or "big-footish" to younger viewers. Crisis for Return averted; substitute scary, giant, hairy, tribal creatures with cute, mini, hairy, tribal creatures. Viola!
Empire is better.
jasoncoxAug 14, 2010
And do you know what one of the original names for Return of the Jedi was? "Revenge of the Jedi". I s**t you not.
liam2012Aug 14, 2010
I still have a Revenge of the Jedi patch that was sent to me by the Star Wars Fan Club when I was a kid!
perkAug 14, 2010
I've got to agree with Lucas on this one. The original trilogy worked specifically because it was Good triumphing over Evil in the epic mien. If they'd tried to go for the ambiguous "negotiated settlement" ending, Star Wars would have turned out like the Matrix - a really good start followed by four hours of depressing special effects.
taiyoryuAug 14, 2010
lest we forget, han shot first

Am I the only one who thinks all the movies (4,5, and 6 -- I pretend the other three didn't happen) were fine the way they were? I've read many of the books that lead up to episode IV and many more that go beyond, and they all interconnect great. Leave 'em alone!
