Not hard, actually. The Ewoks were what Jar Jar Binks should have been: minimalist comic relief. The grand difference between the Ewoks and Binks was that, not knowing what they were saying, they were reduced to pure physical comedy on a point, much like what has made R2D2 so endearing across all 6 films. Binks' antics were funny, but because he never shut the hell up, his experience came off as very grating overall. In the case of the Ewoks it was also more inspiring to see their primitive technology overcome the mechanical might of the Empire, again to compare it to the Gungans who just had "different" technology that wasn't entirely primitive If Binks had been, for all intents and purposes, "silent" like the Ewoks and Chewbacca, i would bet that Phantom Menace would get 50% less hate than it does |
See, your first paragraph defeats the second paragraph though.
The all powerful empire, was being defeated by wooden bows and arrows... and trees.
Like... not distracting, or getting in a good shot here or there.
They were dominating the empire.
I think they killed maybe 1 ewok.
That and I kinda think they lost their "meaning" at the ending with Luke, but that's for the next thread.
