Why do adults hate ewoks? Are people racist against teddy bears? God forbid anything be cute in a galaxy far, far, away. I always thought wookies were more annoying personally.
But regardless, I think the originals are way better than any of the newer movies. There was more moral ambiquity. The whole good vs evil theme is what bothers me about Star Wars. If you have any Jedi abilities than you have to choose to be a monk or evil.
My problem with the ewoks stem from two points:
1. They couldn't have evolved that way.
2. They took out the Empire's best.
1. The ewoks are short, black eyed creatures with limited range of motion and lots of fur. Never mind walking in a forest is a pain, they'd never catch wild animals on their own. So they are likely plant eaters BUT they seem to find the main heroes to look like tasty food. Plus they live in high trees. How do they climb?! Their arms aren't long enough for climbing nor are the trees small enough. They lack jumping abilities to move between trees. And even if they're basically evolved teddy bears, why the hell would they live in trees? What natural predators do they need to avoid? The design of the Ewoks were poorly thought out.
2. First off let's ask ourselves a few questions. 1. How do ewoks lift logs that high into the air? 2. How he hell is a metal walking machine of death weaker than two logs? Or get pushed by rocks being dropped? They don't. The ewoks were the winners because they were cute and worked with the good guys. On any normal fight, they'd have been slaughtered. Yes, I realize that somehow taking the enemy's walking tank made them win. After all, the walkers seemed to only be able to take a few shots before exploding. Yet the walkers in TESB were god damn immune to blasters.
And let's not forget: Rocks > Armor. Why do these troopers even bother wearing armor? It can't stop their most common weapon, the blaster, and it's useless against GOD DAMN ROCKS! Riot Shields are better than storm trooper armor.
