Some people do like Ewoks. My college roommate came to school with Ewok sheets for his bed and Ewok towels. Where he found them I have no idea. Why he wanted to use them was beyond me.<\/p>\n
I don’t much like the Ewoks. They’re cute. They don’t die. They get the drop on highly trained Imperial Stormtroopers. (Though based on the other Star Wars<\/i> films, I suppose the “highly trained” part is arguable.)<\/p>\n
For me, the Ewoks ruin a perfectly good film. The drama between Luke, Vader, and the Emperor is top-notch, the space battle is spectacular, but the skulking around with the Ewoks introduces a note of levity into the proceedings that’s inappropriate. I think I notice that more today because it’s so easy to watch all three classic Star Wars films in quick succession; when Return of the Jedi<\/i> came out, though, people were going more off their memories of A New Hope<\/i> and Empire<\/i> than a recent impression from the fifty millionth VHS viewing.<\/p>\n
So, as an expression of my feelings on the Ewoks, “The Dalek Invasion of Endor<\/a>” fit the bill. Now, should the Daleks also attack Naboo and the Gungans? Or might the Silurians be a better choice…? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some people do like Ewoks.
