They held their breath bro, because they are trained jedis who are like kung fu movie monks and shit and can hold their breath for twenty minutes with the power of meditative enlightenment.

Some interesting new snippets in this little Disney channel spot. Those of you starting to feel like you're seeing too much in advance might want to avoid this one.

Also was it this thread when ppl were crying about the storm troopers using flame throwers? They used them in anh, they are walking around with them on when they first landed on tatooine. Obviously they used them vs uncle owen and whats her name. They just didn't show it.

Sorry I just recently rewatched the trilogy, and a lot of the complaints I've read in the past however many pages have obvious answers.

I've now seen 4, 5, 6, 1, and half of 2.

This series is such a mystery to me. They have all these interesting plot points like the Republic vs Empire or whatever, trade blockades, political shit, and the mythology of the Jedi, the prophecy of "the one", the complicated characters of Annakin and Luke, and then they throw in FUCKING RETARD shit like Jar Jar. (I know this criticism has been around for over a decade.) Even in part 6 when Luke rescues everyone from Jabba, the fucking puppet rat that is with Jabba, how stupid? And the Ewoks??? Oh my god what the fuck? It's so fucking stupid. But yet the shit that's not retarded is really good.

I read either here or elsewhere all the stuff about how George Lucas' wife is really the one who edited a lot of the original Star Wars together to make it make sense and to make it a good story. Thank god for her because you can easily see how this would have been a retarded piece of shit without some genius editing. BTW in Part 1, god damn Natalie Portman was beautiful. Surprised to see Rose Byrne in part 2.

Here's your problem!

As to the rest of the shit, common complaint really. By the time of RotJ the series was a major cash cow and was raking it in with merchandising. Mostly toys for kids. Stuff like the Ewoks (who I really don't mind as much as others) and the rat dude and even Jar Jar are intended for comic relief but more importantly to hit the kid demographic and sell more toys. Jar Jar didn't fucking work for shit, at least the Ewoks were legit cute and well puppeteered, they hit the right notes with kids and girls.

The ewoks was just george being george. But still, they are a million times better than anything in the prequels.....ANYTHING!!!

Hopefully one day Disney will re-master ROTJ and replace the ewoks with wookies.

Those are toys. George wanted to sell toys. Kids love to buy toys. That is why retarded crap exist

I still really like parts of Jedi. I love Endor as a setting, and the speeder bikes and uniforms and stuff. I loved Jabba and that whole scene. Yeah, even as a kid that little rat thing was just out of place to me, but whatever, Jabba is awesome. Yoda and Luke and then Luke's confrontation, I thought that was classic as fuck.

The Ewoks don't bother me as much as they do other people. And certainly not as much as the stupid shit from the prequels like the gungas or everything else, but they don't feel right. Like you're watching Empire, and it ends and you go "fuuuuuuuuuuck put in Jedi now" and you do and it starts off fucking awesome. Then just devolves into furry forest creatures throwing rocks at sci-fi tech,and winning. I mean... what? I don't know, the showdown redeems it in my book.

Best part of the ewoks is how the emperor sends a "legion of his best troops", and they get owned. I mean if the empires best get owned by ewoks the Empire deserved to lose the war.

The Ewoks never bothered me either until I read your last paragraph and now I'm kinda bothered by them.Thanks. That said, there is something to be said from a story and symbolic point of view about the fate of an epic galactic war resting on a primitive and somewhat quaint battle on a forest moon. It's at least a bit poetic.

And fuck you guys for shitting on my boy Salacious Crumb

Fighting with the MPAA over the artistically shot, highly erotic B-story involving Leia helping Kyra discover she is a woman amidst the chaos of the galactic civil war.

I never minded the ewoks.

JUB JUB.

And I thought that when they were gonna cook up han and chewie... that was fuckin hillarious. They might be cute little furballs, but they're MAN EATERS. They were obviously there to sell toys and appeal to the kids... but there were those little bits dropped in here and there to appease a more adult viewing as well. Little fucking savages is all the really were. Cute little man eating savages.

Did henson pupetter them? That's sort of a henson thing, mixing the dark into the cute as well as that and being subtle enough about it that you can read it either way and be right.

It actually took me a minute to realize the typo and I was already googling to see if he was in Curb Your Enthusiasm
