The ROTJ “storytelling scene” stays a very charming moment in the saga.

If by charming you really mean childish and stupid, then yes. It’s beyond cringeworthy.

Ok, you don’t like the scene, childish I can understand (SW is childish, even TESB and ROTS are), but expand on why this is stupid.

Besides the silly premise of C3P0 giving a campfire story to teddy bears it doesn’t push the plot forward in any way. Nor does it develop any of characters or gives us a sense of how they interact with each other. The only thing this scene does is trivialize the saga via childish framing (unlike good childish framing like in Stranger Things) and damage the film’s pacing.

EDIT:

SW and ESB have their goofier moments but nothing like teddy bear story time. The Jawas are the silliest things in those two films and they use technology unlike the Ewoks so it’s easier to swallow.
