Worst Star Wars movie.

I arrived at the theater line for the premiere at around 4am with some friends. When the film was over, I realized we waited hours to see the Muppet Movie. It was a product of its time. It seems like the majority of movies, cartoons etc in the 80s were just long toy/merchandise commercials.

Although not the worst Star Wars movie, that goes to the Last Jedi, I do wish the ewoks had instead been Wookies, that would have made for a much more realistic defeat of the Emperor's "best troops" on the Sanctuary moon. Teddy Bear fur does not penetrate Stormtrooper armor, nor do wooden arrows or rocks.

Yet in Return of the Jedi they do.

And on that point, damaged A-Wings apparently can light up Super-class Star Destroyer bridges into a total inferno, also not making any sense, but I can understand Lucas needing to end his trilogy and fast back in 1983.

I saw it at the theater in 1983 when I was 9 and loved it. Still really like it but I do agree with a lot of what's said about the Ewoks.

I will also say that this movie suffered the most from Lucas's changes. The song and dance number at Jabba's palace was pointless, the Scarlac pit was better without the Little Shop of Horrors plant in the center and Vader yelling "NO" before destroying the Emperor made the scene so much worse. Also as mentioned in the other thread, the Yub Nub song being replaced was terrible.

You loved it, you just thought it wasn't 'cool' to like the Ewoks.

They were savages you know ... they literally ate people.

It won't be the worst Star Wars movie until some happy accident removes "The Phantom Menace" from the space-time continuum!

May space and time warp soon.

Suck a bag of rocks, TC! This film was awesome!

Lucas always said Star Wars movies were intended for kids. All of his movies are PG except for ROTS which probably only got PG13 because of multiple beheadings.

Nub nub!

never!! This "honour" belongs to "The last Jedi".
