Yeah, we know. Teddy Bears invaded yer man time

But the analogy doesn't work. Everyone HATED Jar Jar. Lots of guys liked the Ewoks. My bro had a couple of 'em as a teenager. You can still be a MAN and like cute things. Except for bronies (poke at Two ) Those don't count at ALL.

How in the world were the Ewoks the Jar Jar Binks of the original trilogy? They were just cool little bastards that kicked @#% and took names. The whole point was the Empire underestimated them because of their appearance. Yoda already taught that lesson in Empire Strikes Back, but he didn't teach it to the Empire.


Anyway back to the topic I guess Ant Man is this year too. Just watched the teaser for that. I'm not sure if it will live up to the Marvel Studios standard, but they haven't disappointed me yet. So, I'll be there.

How about you like what you like and I don't like what I don't like? That would work for me.

Isn't it with JJ Abrams? That means that the entire gang will spend 98% of the film on Earth, and merely jot out to other planets in between jabbering at each other - just like he devolved Star Trek into.

Wasn't Chewbakka supposed to originally be an Ewok? Or the Ewoks supposed to be Chewbakka's race?

It's only been a few months since I read "The Star Wars" graphic novel, the one based on Lucas' original screenplay, but I don't remember a whole lot. Chewbacca was still a Wookie but didn't show up until toward the end of the story. I don't think Ewoks were mentioned at all, and Han Solo was a green alien of some sort.

George Lucas has said many contradictory things about what his "original" ideas were. He did say at some point that instead of Ewoks there was going to be a planet of Wookies. Whether that's truthful or just his revisionist history I don't know. Basically if someone can't find a dated document that proves what George Lucas is saying really happened, I'd take it with a grain of salt.
