I've gotten riled up because I recently read yet another somewhat negative review of RotJ - and why? You can all guess. Say it with me.
Ewoks.
Come ON. The Ewoks are in what - about 1/4 of the total running time of the movie. Sure it's interspersed in the last 1/2 of the film - but between the Jabba sequence, return to Dagobah, the Rebel planning, the speeder bike chase, Luke's fight with Vader and the Emporer on the Death Star, and the final space battle - you mean to tell me that the Ewoks ruin the film for you? Wicket wasn't nearly as annoying as Jar Jar - nor were the Ewoks as bad as the Gungans.
And even without all those great scenes I've already mentioned in the movie - there are things I like about the Ewoks. I LIKE that the primitive race uses innovative ways to smash the high tech of the Empire. I like the humor brought into the movie by the Ewoks (C-3P0 and his god-hood, Chewie and his stomach, Han as dinner). Even their homes in the treetops were cool. Heck, I remember the Ewok movies being pretty cool in their own right.
I rank Return of the Jedi higher than ANY prequel movie - and that's a fact. So feel free to share your own love for the (apparent) red headed step child of the Star Wars series... and Celebrate the Light!
