Jesus...the Ewok "criticisms" in the last two post have never been heard before...
cant overlook zippers on the backs of suits amidst an established universe of rubber alien masks and "CGI rabbits that steps in the poopy?" Cmon, its made for tv and still about 85% more cohesive and entertaining a story than the three prequels combined. Also, with being on tv, you dont get raped at the box office, dragged out over six years. Virtually free, light entertainment.
“Jar Jar Binks makes the Ewoks look like ****ing Shaft!”

I disagree wholeheartedly. The fx, acting and plot were horrible on the ewok movies. Have you watched one since 198whatever year they originally aired? I have and they are far worse than the prequels could have ever been.
P.S. I thought the ewok films were great when I was a kid.

the kid is less grating (if only slightly) than both prequel Anakins, and Wilford Brimley is a billion times less wooden than Natalie Portman and Sam Jackson.
the FX in Ewoks is great for television. Ill take a stop motion creature with heavy matte lines over the sad vision of legend Christopher Lee "riding" a motorcycle in front of a giant fan and greenscreen any day...modern fx: clean and commonplace, yet cold, sterile, lifeless.
As far as story, each Ewok movie contains a decently structured, budgeted for television, family friendly, action adventure...The prequels: one story spread to 3 films, indespensible funds to turn out the unnessesary ("its so dense"), meandering, and maybe 30% entertaining if you have a boner for the lightsaber.

The Ewok movies make the Teletubbies look like legitimate entries in the Star Wars series.

I hope it's not that bad as well!
However, it's okay this time if she's married to Indy, I mean Han.

It would be cool if she was dead by the events of Episode VII...with Kasdan writing I would <strike>hope</strike> expect all the heroes don't survive. That there has been some loss.AndyLGR said:
It would be really cool if her cameo came at the end of the film via hologram, (a nod to the OT I could appreciate) giving an inspiring/emotional speech or personal message which ties some loose ends together.
Plus they could tweek her appearence.
It may account for the "I'm in it...no she's not" see saw, more likely my own wishful thinking.

To all the people who find Harrison too old to play Indy......... is the original SW cast too old for SW?

I can't be bothered to weed that garden. Just some of the naming conventions in Clone Wars make me shudder.Henry W Jones said:
Savage Oppress?!
Oi.
Fine character stupid name. Truce at Baraka...B A Baraka or Baraka Omama?
Anyway I bailed on the EU after Empire flushed Splinter of the Mind's Eye.
To Hades with it all...

Han can still fly the Falcon even if he's too old to run.
Indy's no good unless he can dive under a quickly descending door.

Once they finished the original trilogy the stories got better. Splinter was horrid. There are a few series of SW books that are very entertaining.

A lot of the EU was far better than the stuff Lucas decided to film. The books actually felt like they were telling stories from the Star Wars universe.
The last books I read were the Bounty Hunter Wars and A.C. Crsipin's Solo trilogy.
The EU of recent times has probably gone the way of the Prequels.
