the ewok rant
by - taraxis
theres been a lot of yapping amongst movie buffs about the upcoming
star wars movies. most people think they will be incredible movies since
the original three were, but i have doubts. why? because return of the
jedi ended on a flop for two reasons : luke skywalker the damn ewoks.
ill save pretty farm boy for another article, but its time for the cute
little furry endorians to phear@!
in case anyone has missed this movie, it ends like this. the rebel
alliance launches a massive assault on the death star, a fierce new
battlestation built by the empire, an evil, dictatorial regime. in order to
fly into the death star destroy it, the rebels need to detonate the shield
generator protecting it on a near-by moon. there they meet the ewoks, a
cute little tribe of munchkins who help them accomplish this. the ewoks
the rebels win blow the generator, the rebels go on to win the movie
deal a crushing blow to the empire.
lucas co. messed up big time with the ewoks. they suck big time,
i can tell you why. first of all, they are cute. cute things suck, like
ex-girlfriends. racoons are cute, but theyll bite your finger off. ouch!
second, can you imagine the stink that would eminate from an entire tribe of
furry woodl creatures? *ugh* yet princess leia never complained at all.
maybe alderaans have no sense of smell, or maybe princess leia smelled just
as terrible. no where in any of the three movies were any of the characters
shown taking showers, except luke after he was found half-dead in the show
stuck in an animal, but his bath was only for medical reasons.
the most glaring problem though is toward the end of rotj. perhaps
this stupidity can be best shown by the following :
ewoks the empire on endor
number: a tribe. a few legions.
size: a couple feet. man-sized.
armor: fur. high-tech lightweight
battle armor.
weapons: arrows, rocks. high-precision laser
rifles.
training: archery rock throwing. years of elite training.
additional
equipment: a few logs. a few at-sts, spitting
hot blasts of firey
death.
greatest
achievement: a nice village with a great a shield generator
system of ladders bridged. capable of protecting an
object 160 miles in dia-
meter the death star.
obviously, the empire should have totally dominated the ewoks. but
no! the lameness here should not even have to be explained. but ill do it
anyway with a few points.
1 arrows cant go through battle armor.
2 the force with which an ewok can chuck a rock is minimal to
begin with.
3 tossed stones can not penetrate battle armor.
the death star brings up another issue : fallout!*! the thing
blew up. it is silly to think that the entire 160-mile diameter sphere
disintegrated into miniscule pieces that would burn up in the atmosphere.
what about radiation? the thing had a huge fusion reactor. doesnt that
count for anything? the entire planet should have been reduced to either
ash or a barren landscape. it is not unreasonable to think that at least a
50-mile wide cube of the death star would survive crash to the surface.
it would not be going that fast, but it wouldnt need to. the last thing
any surviving imperials on the station would see as they hit the ground
would be a smiling, rejoicing ewok, because it was built right above their
village.
if they make any movies that take place after return of the jedi, i
hope that they first redo the ending to it. ewoks - lose! rebel
alliance - lose! that little punk-ass skywalker should die too, along with
his furry companions. what a dumb ending to the greatest movies of all
time.
