Ewoks don't suck, you suck!

I woulda thought Hurley would've fallen into the demographic of those that loved the Ewoks. It seems that it's the original adult fans that weren't fans, and the kids first watching in the seventies that loved the third chapter and all it's furry glory.

Snob.

Those adorable, heroic, tragic little guys.

Kate, you idgit. What's new.

Juliet is awesome.

Yeah, not so much, I'm afraid. Saw them all in the theater at time of release, and I was in junior high when SW came out originally. Ewoks SUCK!!! In all their toy marketing ignominy.

Well, Return of the Jedi was '83, I was born in '78, so I probably saw it from a very young age (I'd bet my parents hauled my wee ass to the theatre). I wasn't old enough to see any marketing strategy, I just saw story, Ewoks happened to be a part of that.

Apologies for any topic derailment.

Um, Miles backstory, finally! Although it felt too much like "yeah, we speculated that a year and a half ago, thanks for agreeing with us". They leave this shit hanging too long, "we" figure it out and the official reveal ends up being "yeah, so? We knew that."

I was born in '78

Gack! Star Wars was '77; I was 11. Damn...

Sorry, hadn't contemplated those numbers for while.

Wanders off to contemplate mortality

Franken,

I saw Star Wars with my parents. I was 8...

Star Wars is the first non-Disney movie I remember my Dad suggesting we see. I thought the poster looked stupid and didn't really want to go. I was wrong. Very wrong.

Especially because I THINK (not 100% sure) that they kept him out of any of the cast or guests listings.

Nope, Jeremy Davies was in the credits this week. Totally didn't register, though.

Didn't register with me either.

Who was the actor playing the character that Miles swindled (and then got his money back). He looked very familiar.

Also, twice in two weeks we've heard "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" Gee -- think it might be significant?

yeah, that was part of my feeling that the ep was repetitive. I liked the ep generally, but I feel like the script needed one more round of editing. How many times did we literally hear Miles refer to the fact that his father left him as a baby?

I mean are viewers being treated as mentally deficient?

BTW, I have to say I would be creeped out touching myself as a baby. I don't think I'd want any part of that.
