to be honest i kinda liked the ewoks, but i couldn't stand the
gungans (not just jarjar but all of 'em) the puppet scenes in the
star wars movies just adds to its silliness.
lets see there's that whole scene on hut's ship in return of the jedi
where lucas unsuccessfully tried to create a lounge scene... BUT WITH
ALIENS, YEAH! i won't even go into the pod race, or the gungan's
battle with the droids, or that stupid thing that kenobi was riding
in revenge of the sith.
i think that the mandelorians are the coolest thing in the universe,
but we'll never see them because they think that jedis and sith are
silly.
scifi films were rerepairably ruined by star wars (this is all the
more ironic when you consider that star wars is a space opera and not
scifi). it's one of those movies that's cool as a kid, but when you
watch them as an adult they kind of lose their appeal. even star trek
holds up, sure it's a little cheesy but it's not unbelieveable.
what's even more laughable is the lucas has the balls to poke fun at
a series that PREDATES star wars by a few decades. sure it's a little
over the top, but that's the point. comics aren't supposed to be
realistic. if they were they wouldn't be comics. i think that he's
jealous that 1000 yrs from now people will be trying to find out who
this spiderman was and if he really exsisted while they'll disregard
star wars as a childrens movie.
there are plenty of wonderful things in the star wars universe, but
then that's what makes it so silly. lucas doesn't focus on one or
even two and use the rest as back drop. he wants you to get
the "full" experience of the star wars universe.
