    Teddy bears smashing imperial armor with log traps was when Star wars jumped the shark IMHO.

        As a child I loved the scenes with the teddybears. Even tho it’s not realistic, it got a beautiful atmosphere.

        And at the end Luke is kissing his sister, so that was weird.

          I actually like the Ewok scenes outside of the end battle. The end battle though? Just makes the Imperial forces look like we never should have taken them as a serious threat.

            I feel like they were constrained by the numbers they could show and the relatively happy vibe of star wars. I got the impression that the empire was supposed to be getting swarmed by ewoks. Which would have looked better. Although you can’t really get away from them being teddy bears i suppose.

              I’ve heard it was supposed to a (very) loose analog of the Vietnam war.

          Lets be real. Jar Jar should have died in the Gungan city when he returned after being banished.
