But you must admit they had more of an emotional range than JarJar. I remember
feeling sorry for the young Ewok who was wailing over his dead parent (I assume
it was a parent, if not, it was a relative or friend). Where watching TPM I
felt sorry that JarJar was not sucked into the Pod Racer's engines.

Also don't forget the Ewoks captured the Rebels. The Gungans hid.

And finally, I would rather give an Ewok teddy bear to my niece than a JarJar
doll.

(...) "Ewoks have survival skills"? You're talking about a race that has wood-and-leather hang gliders, which they use in dense forest, against high-tech weapons. Sounds fairly insane to me. Almost as insane as the fact that they won. Bleh. Steve (26 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.starwars)
