Good film ruined by puppets and cuddly toys

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2019)

This third of the original Star Wars films is probably my weakest. Possibly because the writing is not too tight but for me, more so because the Ewoks take over the thing and they are just stupidly annoying. What had potential to pitch the ultimate evil partnership again the Rebel Alliance became a toy-fight straight out of a Laurel and Hardy comedy - the storyline was infantile. Still a great film to look at, and enough menace and diversion in the first hour to make it well worth watching.
