greedo626 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 if George Lucas had stayed with his original idea of having wookies fight the Imperials on Endor instead of Ewoks, the movie would have been so much better. He didn't want the wookies to be primative so why not make them slaves building the second death star? a wookie ripping off a stormtrooper's head would be much more realistic than an ewok killing one with a pointy stick:rolleyes: . after Episode III, they should digitally replace all the ewoks with wookies;) your thoughts?

Divine Spirit Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 They couldnt be wookies because they would have easily beaten the stormtroopers. Wookies have the strength of 50 Ewoks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 exactly. it's stupid when ewoks can defeat the Empire's crack troops. wookies, on the other hand, could. the wookies wold have been slaves and the rebels on endor would spark an uprising. it's better than ewoks. wok1:lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you. I didn't like the Ewoks either, and it was farcical seeing plump teddy-bears attacking the best of the Imperial forces. Remember...the Emperor said 'an entire Legion of my best troops' etc. etc. Er...if they could be defeated by Teddy Bears with the crudest of weapons, how in the galaxy did the Empire survive as long as it did (which wasn't all that long anyway)? They could still have used wookies...just less of them, and introduced something like a pain-collar (remember Chewbacca trapped in the cell in ESB - he was very sensitive to the high-pitched sound) for the imperials to keep them under control. All it would have needed then was for the Rebel raiding party to disable the central control for the pain-collars, free the Wookies, and lead an all-out attack on the Imperials, even though they would have been quite outnumbered. And there would have been no excuse for not finding enough tall people to assume the roles of the Wookiees...they could have hired a couple of basketball teams and put them in Wookiee suits. It would also have introduced even more depth for Chewbacca, because he would have been on a personal quest to liberate his own people from the tyranny of the Empire. So yes...it would have been a far, far better film all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCanr2d2 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 It's not the first time, nor the last where the less technologically equipped side won. How many times do they throw it into the movies that there is always some weakness, too much of a reliance on technology, where it brings them undone.... Get over it, the Ewoks are fine, if you want Wookiees*, then play KotOR and go to Kashyyyk*......... *(BTW both of those are spelt correctly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 It'd of been too lop-sided if there were Wookiees and not Ewoks. And besides, when Wicket said 'Ecchu mama', that was funny. Some of the other wierd stuff they said was funny to. A wookiee would said rar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Monkey Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 They chose to use ewoks in ROTJ because the cannons could be built to a smaller caliber, and they would travel farther. Also, legislation protecting the use of monkeys in laboratory experimentation made it more difficult for animal rights groups to raise a whiney fuss. *FOOOMP!*----------------------whee!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------uh-oh!----------------------------------*SPLAT!* "Cut! Let's try another one, and see if you can't get a tighter shot of the look of surprise on its face..." vlr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
