A Conversation for 'Star Wars' - the Films

This entry doesn't seem to mention the fact that the 'cuteness factor' of the Ewoks is considered by many to have destroyed what should have been the glorious final episode of the first trilogy (Episodes 4, 5 and 6).
It's for this reason that it bears the nickname 'Return of the Tedi'.

I love the Ewoks. If Lucas excluded all of those "controversial" things like the Ewoks or Jar-Jar Binks (sp?) we'd have the same totally-PC-created-for-lowest-common-denominator movies that tortured me during the 90s and today. Star Wars needs a certain amount of kitsch and silliness.

I've no objection to kitsch, but it should have taken more than a few teddies and a load of logs to defeat Imperial Storm Troopers.

Well, that's the silliness simply! 
On the other hand, you'll find such inconsistencies in every fantasy or SF movie. For example, the Lord of the Rings isn't free of them either.
