A World With No Ewoks?!

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

Seems we could have had a very different number 6. I don't know, I honestly prefer the Lucas ending. Especially in light of how the second trilogy made the story about the redemption of Anakin and the resurrection of the Jedi. We came to care about these characters and their world and we needed to see their struggle pay off in the end.

I don't mind the Ewoks -- cavemen trumping spacemen -- although I would have preferred them to be less cutesy, and I could well do without the "Ewok luau" and the force ghosts. Killing off Han would have been pointless.

I wonder, if he'd gone that way, would it be more likely we'd have got the other planned trilogy. The Emperor trilogy where Luke is now a Jedi master yadda yadda trilogy?
Granted I don't know how true these rumours are but still...

Exchange Endor for Kashyyk and Ewoks for Wookies and RotJ would have worked better, and kept toy sales possible. And it would have given Chewie some good stuff to do.

When I first saw the film in the cinema, I thought "ok, they're obviously going to do the god gambit with Chewie" but no, they went with C3P0. Chewie would have been better IMO, and giving the damn teddy bears fangs or some other attribute to make them less cute (shrunken heads, heads on pikes, or evidence of canibalism) would have helped.

Stormtrooper helmets, perhaps?

or evidence of canibalism) would have helped.

Evidence of cannibalism? How about the part where they were going to roast Han Solo? Or did you mean they should have been eating each other?

Check out this image from a deleted scene of The Empire Strikes Back, in which Luke is confronted by a humanoid physical avatar of the dark side of the Force.

Eating people is not cannibalism. Eating other Ewoks is cannibalism.

There were heads inside every helmet we saw on a pike.

Why was there never no first person shooter game where you were a Storm Trooper picking off Ewoks?

Or the Guys in that AT-ST picking off Ewoks?

You can do that in Battlefront II, but it's largely unhelpful to winning the level.

Actually, there's a stormtrooper vs. Ewoks "hunt" mode, similar to the Gungan vs. battledroid mode of the Naboo map or the Jawas vs. Tusken Raiders mode of the Tatooine map.

If you make it, they will cum.

Now, if only I liked gaming.

Why do the Jawas always seem to beat the Tuskens?

Why???

SW Battlefront II is my most played game after Mario Kart. It IS pretty fun blasting Ewoks when they stumble across your cross-hairs

Not Ewok heads though.

I saw the Ewoks as a version of New Guinean or Amazonian tribes. Given their level of advancement, they should have been fighting one other before the stormtroopers showed up. Or were they too busy having picnics (and taking dumps)?
