Raise your hand if you DON'T want a Disney castle whistling "When You Wish Upon a Star" in front of a Star Wars movie.

I'm hoping for Darth Vader hanging out in Space Mountain.

Maybe it's because I was 9 when it came out

This. Jar Jar is pretty awesome when you're a kid.

Ewoks are also awesome when you're a kid. But when I look back at RotJ, I realize that the little bastards just didn't belong and detracted from the main storyline.

I do remember laughing at the Ewok whacking himself with the sling. I do remember laughing at how clever it was that Chewbacca did the Tarzan yell. I even laughed at both burp jokes.

Today, I shake my head at those scenes and wish it kept the same tone as IV and V.

So, yeah, I'm not arguing that Jar Jar isn't awesome for kids, but his inclusion not only didn't contribute anything worthwhile to the movie, but it actually detracted from the main storyline (as flimsy as it was). 

But there's a lot to be said about nostalgia. I have fond memories growing up with Commando and will probably watch it again if it comes on. But it's a bad movie, no doubt about it. There is a difference in how two people can view the same movie if one is a kid while the other is an adult.

There are a couple films that I adore that everyone else seems to hate, simply because of nostalgia.

Speaking as someone who has never seen a Star Wars movie, but has seen many parodies of it and has read all of Darths & Droids, I'll probably try Machete order at some point. Warped portrayal of first movie from D&D = sufficient? Who knows.

I'm totally pro-Ewok. Can we talk about the Ewok movies? anyone remember those? (there were two, right?) Disney could totally make more of those. Ewoks are the best.

Never trust Ewok rope. That's the main lesson I've learned.

Race of little furry savages? I'm cool with that. The antics in RotJ that turn an otherwise decent battle scene into the Keystone Kops? Not so much.

I don't even mind the interaction between the Ewoks and the Rebels when they first meet.

I do so love the Comic Irregular's work. I still follow Irregular Webcomic for the "Director's commentary" and Sunday essays, I regularly read D&D (or as I describe it to those I want to read it, "the webcomic that introduced 'Jar-Jar, you're a genius' non-sarcastically") and all the mezzacotta's except for the main one, and even have a couple of SRoMG and LMoO comics up.

Oh man, this track is gold.  See the comments referring to how, in the comic universe, Star Wars doesn't exist and the Comic Irregulars are doing a comic based on Harry Potter.  And then follow the link on THAT one...

SO I've mathematically determined the best possible plot for Star Wars VII:

The entire thing takes place in the Galactic Senate chamber and chronicles the minutia of a trade dispute between the Ewoks and the Gungans. The only established character from the franchise is Jar Jar Binks, who has been made Chancellor.

Wouldn't he be dead by then?  Murder seems the most likely situation, but old age would require him to be dead, also.

Obviously a mysterious person hired the Kaminoans to create a clone army of Jar-Jars and keep them on ice.
