Ewoks taste like chicken.

Rating: 5/10 (17 June 1999)

Okay, I give up. Apparently George Lucas thought that Star Wars did so well because of the merchandising. Thus, from his head did burst forth the Ewok. (Ewoks seem to be based on Australian tribes people, which is actually a lot better than the crazy Jar-Jar primitive race alien in Ep. 1.) The story for this movie is excellent, the movie itself is just so half-assed. I think the entire movie can be judged on the scene in which Luke is fighting off the giant monster creature in Jabba's lair. The blue screen my weatherman uses looks better than that. There was really no point in adding new scenes to this film, if not to clean up at least that one shot. And although Lucas never expected to shoot Empire or Jedi, I'm sure that somewhere in the back of his head he must have been thinking that Mark Hammil would mature into an actor with a more Jedi-like screen personality. Please vote for this movie, I gave it a 5 out of 10, help get it out of the top 50 at least.
