Haha the prequels are just fun for me cause I was a kid when they came out, and now they're fun to watch drunk. The merchandising thing was there even in the originals, but at least back then they tried to justify it within the story. Yeah, the Ewok plot is stupid, but it plays a vital role in moving the story forward. Comparing that to the sequels, it's become completely empty. The cute things are there to sell toys, and ONLY to sell toys. It's a symptom of what Cushbomb talked about, how everything not absolutely vital to the running of the profit machine (and even some things that are) is itself consumed for profit.
In-plot reasons for these stupid creatures to be here? Sorry, not in the budget, buy our shit.
the only good star wars merch is the lightsabers (the plain ones, not the ones with fancy lights), the lego up until like 2007 and lego star wars. no i'm not biased by my childhood nostalgia, the is objective reality
