I don't see how ewoks alone spoil Jedi, yes they are silly and they should of just gone with wookies but there's alot more to the film than ewoks, it's like saying you don't like Prometheus because of the last five seconds with the proto-alien.
They drop the score but it's not deal breaking like jar jar.
Jar Jar is a Deal breaker. Him being killed/tortured would in my opinion be a deal maker.
(I bought Naboo Starfighter budget because there was a cheat where you could fly a sith infiltrator killing gungans).
I love the Auralnaut versions of EP 1-3 on YouTube. So awesome.

i'd give the new film 7/10 right off if they show gungans being slaughtered.
Butbutbut!
I'm not cherry picking, I find it hard to think of examples the other way around. Granted, Ewoks taking out Storm Troopers was stupid.
- Jabba's Palace and the Sarlac Pit vs the Arena Fight
- Han and Leia vs Anakin and Padme
- The attack on the second Death Star (and yes, obviously re-using the Death Star idea was a shame) vs Anakin taking out the Droid Control Ship
- Ewoks vs Jar Jar
- Luke's fight with Vader vs... well, any fight in the prequels
- Yoda vs Yoda
Jabba's Palace List Of Sins:
Jabba Belching (IV, and V had a higher level of humor)
Frog Bleching
Sarlaac Belching (Didn't Threepio JUST tell us that it digests its food over a period of ONE THOUSAND YEARS? It doesn't matter what we just wrote, all that matters is that we fit another belch gag in.)
Boba Fett going from ultimate badass to comic fool
Luke's Drunken Wampa Lightsaber style
Spec. Ed. Sins
Honeycomb Monster and deletion of Lapti Nek
Boba not only goes from ultimate badass to jester, but now he's a Mack Daddy!
Little Shop Of Sarlaac Pit
It's not Ewoks VS Jar Jar, it's Ewoks VS Gungans. The Gungans are cooler. Take a look at the film again. The only moron Gungans are Nass, Tarpals, and Binks. The other guys all look like Michael Dorn should be voicing them and they should have Worf's attitude as well. When I saw the trailer and there's that shot of them coming out of the mist, I thought they looked **** cool.
Again, Luke's Drunken Wampa style. The first fight with Obi Wan's Force Blast of the droids and he and Qui Gon taking on all of them the way they did was AMAZING compared to anything and everything Luke did.
There was a documentary I watched when Jedi came out and Mark Hamill said, "I had to study Kendo and Karate." BULL! At the time, I had been taking karate for a few months and looked better than any action sequence he was in. That's not me bragging. At the time I sucked. It's an indictment of whoever trained him. Yeeesh.
Dooku sucks. Point given. The character idea, the execution; yes, it all sucks. The with Yoda is flawed. The Maul fight ends poorly. Other than that, it kicks on anything from the OT. The Obi Wan/Vader fight is lame, but at least it looks like both guys had some training beyond Luke's. But the CGI overuse just makes it lame.
The Yoda fight with Sidious is great, though. It kicks on Prowse and Hamill.
That's all I have for now. I might have more later.
Pinball yoda is a bad joke, it wasn't cool the first time I saw it and time has not improved it.
What's wrong with belching? People belch. You see it as humor, I see it as atmosphere.
I agree Fett looked pathetic in Jedi.
Liking Gungans is, I suppose, simply a matter of taste, but I think in terms of their prominence Ewoks vs Jarjar is a fairer comparison.
It's the fighting where I really disagree with you though. Yeah, it was slow and amateur and crap in the originals, although that was improved somewhat by Jedi, but at least they looked like they were fighting. Given a standard film level suspension of disbelieve you could believe they were fighting. Not so with any of the prequels. There was no way I could bring myself to believe it was anything other than highly choreographed dancing, much like in Japanese martial arts films. Utterly unconvincing and emotionless.
