The Ewoks were so cute. If Jar Jar couldn't talk, he wouldn't have been so bad.

I didn't really ahve a problem with the Ewoks. Yeah, so they were cute. They were also this forest dwelling creation, living in the forest with a different language...and some of them died, and they fought a battle. The Ewoks, while cute, were never really played for laughs, and never really bothered me. Of course I'm one of the few who miss the Yub Yub song at the end of the ROTJ. So yeah.

Jar Jar, on the other hand, is an obnoxious character who was a misguided attempt at humor. Not funny, and everything he did that he accomplished was an accident (actually, the whole end of episode 1 was one big accident...Jar Jar accidentally kicks ass, and Anakin accidentally gets into the ship and blows it up). He was a useless character, and was just insanely obnoixious to listen to.

I voted Neither, I liked the Ewoks when i was a kid, and I actually liked Jar Jar, there were a few scenes that went overboard, but he was pretty entertaining, and a technical marvel.

:lol:

Jar Jar still gets my vote.

Ewoks. Have always hated those fuzzy things.

The ewoks at least fought and I remember being upset when one of them died ( I was 13 ok?). We'll see how I react when I watch it again this coming tuesday. I hope my two year old son doesn't sit next to me as I weep into the popcorn and think dad is a punk.

Jar Jar played a big part in ruining TPM. Maybe I'll dress my son up as an ewok for halloween this year.

I say jar jar should get his own made for tv movie and a sequel to follow

I know I will bring wrath down upon me but I like Jar Jar. I hated the Ewoks.

Another reason the Ewoks rule over the Gungans:

The Ewoks were able to strategize and use their knowlege of their habitat to overcome and help defeat the Empire. Yes, they may have been teddy bears, but they were teddy bears that KICKED ASS.

Jar Jar and his people simply fumbled their way through their final battle with the battle droids, and won by sheer luck. They had no strategy and kept on screwing everything up, but it was the faulty design of the battle droids that helped them win in the end, no strategy or knowlege of their own contributed to the battle at all.

I've always loved the Ewoks. When I was a kid watching the movie panned-and-scammed on HBO and today at age 27 watching the Widescreen LD(screw the butchered DVDs!).

Jar Jar on the other hand is an abomination. His sole purpose in TPM is to be clumsy and annoying. Plus, I couldn't understand 80% of what he was saying. And I'd even read the screenplay before seeing the damn movie.

Now Jar Jar in Episode II is a different matter entirely. Lucas realized what a monumental error in judgment he'd made in TPM(even though he'll never admit it publically), so he not only drastically reduced the guy's role in the 2nd prequel, but he used him in the most inspired way imaginable. His clumsiness and overwhelming desire to do good inadvertently leads to Palpatine getting complete control over the Republic. An inspired move and nice save by Lucas.

On a side note, I should point out that there are a ton of characters in TPM that I can't stand. Boss Nass, Ric Olie, Anakin, Queen Amidala(when Portman's playing her, not Keira Knightley), Yoda, Anakin's friends, Nute Gunray, Chancellor Valorum, and Sio Bibble. All annoying. All poorly acted. Jar Jar's just the most notorious of the bunch.

I voted Jar Jar as more annoying. In all honesty, I don't really mind the Ewoks. Also, you can watch ROTJ with the Ewoks and there is a good chance a girl watching it will at least say "Ahhh...they're so cute!" when they appear.

I am not so sure about that. I heard from several sources that the reason Jar Jar's role in AOTC is drastically reduced is because the actor playing him got hit by a car. By a disgruntled fanboy, no doubt.

Jar Jar, he's as clumsy as he is stupid.

I have never understood the hatred of ewoks.

I don't hate either, but of the two, I think Jar Jar is worse...especially because Lucas called him "the key" to TPM. :lol:

I love the Ewoks! Down with Jar-Jar! :lol: about "the key" comment.

I sorta like the Ewoks but Jar Jar... Luca$$$$$$$$$$

I don't understand that picture at all.

I voted for the ewoks because Phantom Menace would have been a disappointment with or without Jar Jar. The ewoks on the other hand really made Jedi drag on in the middle of the movie and takes away from the excellent space battle and duel between Vader and Luke at the end.

Don't some of the Star Wars DVD commercials include a clip from the latest SW video game, which has a shot of an Ewok caught in artillery crosshairs?

I think they are actually commercials for the video game, and yes, they have a Biker Scout sighting up a furry teddy bear.

I love Ewoks.

Don't try to tell me you didn't buy Wicket the action figure when you were 5-13. Or 25. ;)

I have the plush Wicket and Princess Kneesah.

Dammit. I'm a geek.

:lol:
I've seen that. "Shoot it!" and then they actually show the ewok getting hit.

That game sounds pretty good. I wonder if one could hunt down Jar Jar? If so, I'm IN.

Jar Jar is the worse, goofy ears and wtf is up with his voice?
