The Ewok Problem; Is There a Solution?

Today I've decided to talk about a rather controversial topic and before I start, so as not to run the risk of offending anyone who feels passionately about this topic as many people do, I just want to say that I respect all shades of opinion on the Ewok debate. However, the topic of Ewoks is rarely raised in casual conversation. It seems as if it has reached a state of taboo in our society and I say that it is not healthy. If we do not talk about Ewoks how can an understanding ever be reached? if parents don't discuss Ewoks with their children, when they get to school they will be confused in Star Wars conversations as they try to pretend they have seen the movies. There have even been cases where families have been ripped apart by the emotional rift caused by the Ewoks.

So as you can see Ewoks are no laughing matter.Indeed, the rivalry Ewoks cause is worse than that of the Bloods and the Crips, Israel and Palestine, even the divide between pirates and ninjas.

You are probably disgusted by my frequent use of the word Ewok, but please read on as you may learn something.

Firstly, to all those who do not know an Ewok is a furry alien that is only a meter tall. They were featured in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and their inclusion in the film sparked much heated Internet debate.

People claimed that the Ewoks were just added for the children and to sell toys. Some people even went so far as to say that they ruined the first trilogy of star wars. People complained that it didn't make sense that cuddly teddy bear aliens could beat storm troopers. There have even been movements formed, such as the Anti Ewok League:

On the other side of the fence are the people who support the Ewoks. The people who say that they were a good addition to the film, and were quite cute and funny. With the supporters making heartfelt dedications to them such as the Ewok Gospel Song



Now I have reached a compromise, a way for Ewok supporters and haters to live in peace; understanding and acceptance are the only things that can heal a void this big.

so to the Ewok haters I say can you concede that the Ewoks did throw a raging treetop party?

And to the Ewok Lovers I say can you not agree that the Ewoks beating storm troopers doesn't make sense?

If the two sides can atleast agree to these points there is hope for the future, hope for a world where Ewok wars don't tear families, countries and Internet forums apart.

Thank you for listening.
